Reply to comment by agaperion in ELI5: what is the actual cause of a bad trip when taking mushrooms? by Trilly2000

I'm guessing it's a coincidence but this made me think of Dune :)

>I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

our "protocol" in the 60s-70s was a simple mantra - "It's just the drug - roll with it"

This was my go to in the early 2000’s. That and a reality anchor, something that I knew was real before we ate the mushrooms. If I got too far out I’d find Mike and repeat “Mike is real, everything else is just the drugs….” I’d come back to reality a bit, cool off, then start climbing the rollercoaster hill again
