The Dark Side of Psychedelics
<p>Psychedelics users ingest sacred molecules for a variety of reasons — to explore inner space, to face the shadow self and grow, and to feel that elusive spiritual oneness, to name a few. Whatever your reasons are for taking psychedelics, you are probably not taking them to create more problems in your life. Yet for many of us, problems arise from their usage, and we come face-to-face with the dark side of psychedelics.</p>
<p>Psychedelics users, sometimes referred to as trippers (people who go on mental “trips,” journeys, or vacations by taking psychedelics) or psychonauts (people who explore their minds by altering their consciousnesses), can experience the dark side both during and after a trip. When it takes place during a trip, the trip is called a “bad trip.” Bad trips can lead to some of the problems we see post-trip, but post-trip problems do not solely arise due to bad trips — they also arise from trips that you come out of thinking that everything is alright. For the rest of this article, we are going to explore some of the common problems that arise from using psychedelics.</p>
