A) False. I wasn't "in denial" when I had my first legitimate bad trip. That's what made it so cathartic. I was suddenly faced with thoughts and emotions I wasn't even aware of.

B) That's kind of a dumb thing to say: "There's no such thing as a bad trip, but things can make a trip go bad."?

If your set and setting send you into a bad place, that is the LITERAL definition of the phrase "bad trip". Ergo, bad trips are a thing.

Thats like saying "there's no such thing as - 'contaminated water'. There's water which is tainted by chemicals or inorganic compounds which creates 'contaminated water' ". How it came to be contaminated is irrelevant in that context. It's still contaminated.

You're gatekeeping a psychedelic experience, and for what?
