If I'd have to describe my average weed experience in a few words, it would be fun, warm, soft, calm, soft fuzzy blanket

If I'd have to describe my few psychedelic experiences similarly (mushrooms only), it would be cold, hard, sharp, alone and from one horror trip (I was given way too much and after hours of nothing, smoked a little weed which I regretted 10 seconds later) chaos, mayhem, extreme loneliness from being the only person alive in the universe

Wife has similar experiences and after our last fucked up trip vowed to never again try it.

Are these experiences typical? I see so many positive experiences but I hated the cold and lonely feeling I had with it every time. How could I have a pleasant trip with shrooms, or say, lsd even?

I am also a frequent, regular weed smoker. I have done mushrooms twice in my life, and LSD once.

Tge LSD was slipped to me unknowingly and kinda freaked me out when my vision started doubling and everything seemed like it was shifting around like sand dunes or water reflections. I would be willing to try it again knowing what I am taking, if I had the chance as frame of mind really played a role in how the whole experience felt.

The shrooms, both times, just made me feel exactly like being drunk, complete with the queasy sickness and "spins" as it peaked. I don't have any desire to try them again, as I don't even drink alcohol because I don't like that feeling.
