Title says it all. What shows have depicted vivid representations of a bad or particularly potent trip?

80 for Brady, bro. Guy Fieri
Love & Mercy
Keyleth and Vex's trip scene in Legend of Vox Machina was clearly inspired by experience.
Enter the Void.
Main character does DMT. Was very evocative of what I experienced the two times I did it.
Legion. Several scenes.
Mad Men's portrayal of Roger taking LSD was very well done (and funny).
Hard to really represent psychedelics in a movie. While there are visuals to some degree in almost every trip, the majority of the effects are mental even when the world around you is melting together into a squirming mess of light and color.
This is interesting. Is there a take on a trip that hasn’t been done that might reflect the personal experience better?
Acid is a helluva drug. It's one of those things you have to experience to begin to understand, and every trip is different. Even within a single trip, there are notably different chapters. The best I can describe it is being a child again. You're more connected with the universe around you and all of your brain, but you're never 100% certain what's going on. Everything is magnified... good, bad, and ugly.
You'll be thinking several trains of thought concurrently until you focus on one, and the rest disappear into the aether. You think so much, and in ways you normally don't. This causes you to examine yourself and your relationships in ways you normally don't.
There's nothing else like it... the intensity and power of strong lsd can't be contained by experience or force of will, and it will last 10 hours so you'd better be right with yourself.
That said, doing something you love on acid is the best thing ever. W/e it is; writing, playing music, any kind of art, I'm sure left brain stuff too... you'll find new and interesting ways to do it.
The best I've seen was Sharp Objects and molly/ecstasy.
After some thought, What Dreams May Come. It doesn't represent an acid trip, it is an acid trip. Waking Life is probably right there as well.
Silicon Valley - When Erlich goes on his vision quest to come up with a company name. The visuals are a bit much, but watching the "logic" that turns a good trip into a bad one is pretty funny. Also the way he's moving his mouth and shoulders/arms is pretty good. (https://youtu.be/G-Ir9WuI8-8)
It's still hard to comprehend how the brain even works on LSD. Whenever I think about the insane visuals I saw on acid it almost feels unbelievable.
Personally my favorite way to enjoy it is to just relax on my head, put on some headphones and listen to some music. The way music feels while you're on acid is unreal!
I remember the first time I did acid, I was like there's no way it actually feels like people say. People are just exaggerating. And when the first visuals hit, it's like you've unlocked a completely different level of experiencing reality that you didn't thought was possible.
Live music is the very best for me.
>While there are visuals to some degree in almost every trip
Really? I pretty much never had/have visuals on any drug other than very slight changes (like colors "pop" just a little more). Only time I had strong visuals was 3 hits of acid combined with many other substances. And I've done a lot of psychedelics.
Huh. For me there are always trails, and lights have a bit of extra shine to them. I usually get the stained-glass windowpane overlay and a bit of squirming, but I haven't seen anything strong enough to melt stuff in 20 years. The acid I find now is all chill and weak, but it's clean and I'm getting older so it works for me.
I did get some refined psilocybin chocolates at deer creek last year that absolutely melted everything and had virtually none of the negative side effects of shrooms.
TJ Miller's shroom trip in Silicon Valley...the teeth grinding!
EDIT: Ninja'd!!!
Not a show, but the scene in Midsommar where they do mushrooms felt pretty accurate
Workaholics Season 1 ep 3 “Office Campout”
Midsommar
The special effects/cgi in Legion is really good throughout the series.
Just watched that episode and I'd agree.
Agree. The way the valet's face and the carpet shifted in this scene are incredibly realistic.
Yeah. It's fairly semi-conscious. At first you're like "Is that moving?" Next thing ya know it's doing exactly what you think it will do, somewhere down in the recesses of your mind. Like, what you think will happen does happen... it's just on a semi-random delay and you keep wondering when you will stop being able to control it.
The Mississippi Queen episode has a scene that seems to be Mordecai, Rigby and Benson on a crazy trip after drinking the hottest thing ever.

Happy! With Chris Meloni
The Simpsons Guatemalan Insanity Pepper episode. Homer even goes through an epic journey across a golf course. Probably the most accurate portrayal of my own adolescent trips in suburbia
The most accurate portrayal of acid visuals I've seen in TV/Film is from the movie "Taking Woodstock"
Danny Devito Shitting in a trash can he got stuck in, while tripping on acid at some school in Bucks County, PA.
Ooo I LIKE THAT
was looking for this. def agree. gets low dose visuals exactly right

You get rolling pretty good and everything is logical, even all these bats...
