__NOTOC__

A '''"bad trip"''' (formally known as a '''psychedelic crisis''') is a disturbing experience ~~typically~~ associated with the use of [[hallucinogens]], typically [[psychedelics]] like [[LSD]], [[psilocybin]] and [[DMT]], but can also refer [[dissociatives]] such as [[ketamine]] or [[dextromethorphan]]. A bad trip can sometimes occur with other substances including [[cannabis]] and [[MDMA]]. They can manifest as a range of feelings such as [[anxiety]], [[paranoia]], the unshakeable sense of one's inevitable and imminent personal demise or [[unspeakable horrors|states of unrelieved terror]] that they believe will persist after the substance's effects have worn off.
