so I want to start this post by saying that I know the following would be stupid idea, I'm an experienced tripper myself, my friend is bipolar and is not experinced. I'm only trying to gather more information by actual experiences, so I can have talking points and good view on the situation. I already read some basic facts about acid being able to cause mania and even psychotic break.

so we are going to a festival that I've been to for couple times already, I did acid both times and it has been one of the most intense places to trip where I've been. and I've tripped at raves night clubs, in a ship full of drunken people, at city center in the middle of the day etc.

it has lots of people and techno and edm playing 24/7 trough the whole festival. you get the jist, it's pretty insane.

my friend has had mania for couple months now, they have bipolar. they were just having manic depressive episode which required hospital visit for a few days. they want to do acid in the festival since everyone else is going to do it, even though they are literally having manic episode which is propably going to last for most of the summer.

so does anyone have any experiences on trip going bad with bipolar, or experiences about doing psychedelis while already having mania?

all information appreciated.

cheers and stay safe
