    I mean it’s definitely up to the person. Every time I’ve taken acid I’ve had the realization “oh yeah, it’s impossible to be sad on acid” again, maybe that will change, I’ve heard the stories.

    Whereas part of one of my best mushroom trips involved me thinking about an ex and allowing the emotions to overwhelm me and allowing myself to sob and wallow in the memory.

    Maybe it’s that when an acid trip is “bad” it’s generally a bad time and the fun is over for the rest of the trip, where bad feelings on a mushroom trip can be therapeutic and don’t necessarily sour the overall experience.

      yes. intense emotional trips can very much be a thing on mushrooms, and that can be very therapeutic. bad trips on acid usually involve some kind of logic breakdown, where some kind of delusion enters into your mind and dominates your thoughts. i’ve had delusions of grandeur and also paranoid delusions. they all made me stronger as a person, but the paranoid delusions were pretty intense and also fucking terrifying.
