There is no running away from the trip. I mean, it's all in your head, so what could "away" mean? Except for some haloperidol, perhaps. And that is something that professional guides might have available.

But mainly it's fear that causes bad trips. So it helps a lot to have someone around who can reassure you, if you start feeling afraid. I've known people who freaked, and called 911. And that didn't turn out well.

Also, in my experience, Psilocybe spp. are much gentler than LSD, even at doses with comparable hallucinogenic effects. There's more "body trip" than withg LSD. It's almost like "pleasantly drunk" or effects of muscle relaxants.
