Question about acid: what is so bad about a "bad trip" that changes people forever? I've never done it due to hearing this.

I can understand some outside factors causing it to be terrifying or unpleasant but why wouldn't it go away once the drug wears off? Kinda like waking up from a bad dream?

Maybe an anxiety attack, or sometimes someone experiences an ego death.

That would be my guess, but maybe someone has a better explanation.

Sometimes just seeing that your entire world view is not set in stone and seeing the "other side of the coin" can really scare the shite out of people.

Imagine going through your whole life thinking you knew what life was all about, and having a drug say "everything you thought you knew about life is wrong, and by the way, Ive prepared a 6 hour speech to prove it to you"

I do not know if it changes you forever, but it changes your view of life real quick and how you react to that may change your life forever.

I had one bad trip in my teenage years. My friends found me half dressed in the middle of a frozen pond during a snow storm. I am glad the ice was thick and I did not fall through. I still did acid after that experience though, you learn.

If you ever can I do recommend tripping in a snow storm, especially if someone can drive you at night. i promise you will think you are traveling at warp speed through the Universe.
