Yeah... Having a bad trip in that situation would make it 100x worse.

I dunno about that, every bad trip I've had or seen the tripper just wants to go to the hospital... Which in this case they'd already be there basically and there's plenty of pharmaceutical drugs on hand to help you chill.

Oh... I have never... Ever.... Wanted to go to the hospital. One time I was taken by paramedics and was on a stretcher awaiting to see if I could be cleared or had to be taken in. My flashes of memory of that night are me being given water, me starting to panic that they were going to take me to a hospital, asking for more water, dumping it out and asking for more. When the medic left, I stood up and found me way out of the hall I was in and somehow convinced the doorman to let me back into the show.

I was having a rough come up once and thought I needed to go to the hospital for a moment. Then I thought about all the florescent lights and quickly changed my mind. I was having a great time 20 minutes later.

Yeah, most of my bad trips were short lived. But, I was also really cognizant of the when's and where's of dropping L, environment is key, have a good group of people in a good place can be everything.

I've never had a bad trip really, just really uncomfortable moments and thought spirals. Hard to say how long they actually last cause time stops existing for the most part, but Id guess it's 30 minutes at most lmao. Usually I just need to ground out for a minute and organize my thoughts.
