What are the odds of having a bad LSD/Acid trip?

Question

Have there ever been any tests to come up with an actual percentage number of how likely it is to have a bad trip?

Answer 1

Its pretty much 50/50 as stated above. But its also based on several different things such as:

Set

Setting

And whether you have any mental issues/hidden feelings. Which are bound to come out during the trip.. at some point depending on if you let it.

I've only had a bad trip onetime where my emotions (sad,happy,angry,shy etc) were portrayed through my friends, whatever emotion i thought would be reflected in 1 of them.. pretty uncomfortable.

From personal experience there's a higher chance of a bad trip occurring if there's no constant music.. because your mind tends too wonder/think a whole lot more, whereas with music its attuned too the audio waves.

Answer 2

You would be really dumb to even try it in the first place.  It only takes one try to really s***w yourself and your life up.  Instead of trying to figure out the odds, do don't it at all.

Answer 3

Don't get c**p acid from someone who's unreliable.

You'll know whether or not you're in the right mind-frame for it.  If you don't know whether or not you should take it; you shouldn't be taking it.

If you're stressed or bummed out you shouldn't take it.

If you are unprepared you shouldn't take it.

If you follow that, you have about a 98% chance of having a good time.

Answer 4

If you have a bad trip, you really won't be caring what the percentages are.

Answer 5

Answer 6
