A bad trip is sometimes possible with other drugs including [[Alcoholic beverage|alcohol]], [[cannabinoid|cannabinoids]] and [[MDMA]]. | ||

Bad trips can be exacerbated by the inexperience or irresponsibility of the user or the lack of [[Set and setting|proper preparation and environment for the trip]], and are reflective of unresolved psychological tensions triggered during the course of the experience.<ref>[[Stanislav Grof]], ''LSD Psychotherapy;'' passim</ref> | The manifestations can range from feelings of vague [[Anxiety|anxiety]] and alienation to profoundly disturbing states of unrelieved terror, ultimate entrapment, or [[ego death]].
