I had a friend explain it like
hey if your trip is bad, just focus on old fashioned death and pinup art of the devil and stuff. Just go full blast into it like YEAH TAKE ME MOTHERFUCKER and it should turn around on you.
I always loved that advice but never got a chance to try it
Honestly, that isn't the best advice. A bad trip can be anything from mild discomfort, to paranoia, to a full on traumatic nightmare experience that has the potential to scar your psyche for a while to come. I had one of those nightmare experiences about 20 years ago after eating datura stramonium seeds. It was a 2 and a half day death trip, that I only came out of by being forcibly strapped to a bed and injected with haloperidol in a hospital. That experience messed with me for about a decade afterwards.
Gotta be desperate for a high to take datura. That is a poisonous plant with unpredictable results. It grew regularly where we lived, and we had a physician family member who basically said if you’re going to get high even some of the harder drugs were a better choice than datura. He’d seen too many people who didn’t survive or came out with permanent damage. It was a poorer rural area where they worked, and combined with boredom people tried other shit to get high. Datura’s got a bad track record.
I was young and I honestly had no idea what I was doing. A friend of mine gave me the seeds and I had never even heard of the plant before that point, and 5 minutes later I was choking down the seeds. I was young and dumb, and this was a gigantic mistake I made that caused me extreme trauma for about 10 years afterward. I didn't actually even know what a deliriant was, or that it was even possible to trip like that and have hallucinations that were absolutely terrifying, fully formed, and were much more real than reality itself.
Your experience is valid but Datura seeds are NOT the same thing as acid and shrooms, yeah? Deliriants and psychedelics are completely different experiences. You are much more likely to have horrifying and terrible trips with deliriants, and you will not even understand what's happening to you isn't real, because categorically deliriants take that ability away from you.
In 2025, even in the 2010s, the Psychonaut Wiki is absolutely invaluable for harm reduction like this.
Well, this happened over 20 years ago in the very early 2000s. Psychonautwiki was absolutely not a thing, or even a concept. I was on erowid back then, but as I have explained elsewhere in this thread I was very young, very dumb, didn't have any idea what I was doing, and didn't even know what a deliriant was.
Better idea is to just walk into a different room.
It is like you walk into a different room in your mind. And it changes your mood considerably.
