Psychedelic Crisis - MAPS

This video drama is presented by MAPS - the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (http://maps.org). We provide four basic principles to help someone having a difficult psychedelic experiences:

1. Create a safe space
2. Sit, don't guide
3. Talk through, don't talk down
4. Difficult is not necessarily bad

MAPS mission is to develop MDMA, LSD, Psilocybin, and Marijuana into legal prescription medicines for therapeutic applications. We are actively developing and funding clinical trials with human subjects in accordance to the guidelines set by the United States Food and Drug Administration and the European Medicines Agency. During this process we are training therapists to administer psychedelic drugs in therapeutic settings. We will open psychedelic therapy clinics around the world when these substances are approved as prescription medicines. We are also engaged in efforts to educate people about the benefits and risks of these substances and other psychedelics.

MAPS is a membership-based nonprofit organization that counts on donations from people like you to conduct achieve our mission.

yeah, 2 hits would definitely not do that to you, however this video does have some very good advice.

best line "i'm tripping my face off"

[sujannna]

I would prefer to see someone filmed while on LSD and not a dramatization.

@dagda16 2 hits of good acid would! depends on the strength as someone else said 1 hit of string acid would!

[noxionous]

best bean bag chair ever!

[phreakerbythespeeker]

@dagda16 Actually 1 hit of Sandoz will !

this will help me so much on my first ever trip this friday(or saturday, if possible)

not taking acid or shrooms, but rather 'philosopher stones'(as they are nicknamed). not officially shrooms, but they basically do the same thing

Extraordinary pain and awareness of God or life force or universe or eternal now. I saw God as an infinite latticework. Please don't call names. It only adds to separation and suffering, and there's so much of that as is.

@testiclecrusher2 Well, actually, an anxiety or panic attack from cannabis is not at all like what happens in a psychedelic crisis. Psychedelic crises are bizarre phenomena that are unique to powerful psychedelic drugs. It's difficult to describe to someone who hasn't been there, but for me, my difficult trips are basically like my mind (my knowledge of my life) being unraveled to its core, leaving only eternal awareness in its place. Scarier than death. Temporarily ending ego.

I had a bad trip on weed. And to those idiots who are thinking of replying with "weed does not cause bad trips that shit was laced". Stfu, weed can cause bad trips/anxiety attacks in people you ignorant doofus. It just depends on certain factors.

M.A.P.S. is awesome but im not sure if "counseling" someone with words would be as effective and playing some super chill and euphoric music and maybe bring out a big pad of drawing paper and paint/colored markers or something. They can explore their mind better by delving into art or music that talking im think'n. Having someone try and talk to me like that video would make me want to get away from them asap.

people what music plays on the party? its wonderful!
