The one time when I did continue drinking heavily while tripping (when younger and more foolish), it seemed like the alcohol had no effect. I finished an entire bottle of gin and several beers. Once I did come down it hit me like a bus and the next day I had exactly the hangover that this stupidity deserved.
I've never been able to even contemplate eating while tripping and the idea of drinking alcohol while tripping turns my stomach, I find it much easier to just take some alprazolam or diazepam if things start getting out of hand. That's just me personally though, I've tripped with a guy who went and bought and ate a whole chicken while tripping...
I usually buy smoothies and drink them for some calories and to feel full. Luckily I don't get too much body load, it's just the idea of chewing and eating that weirds me out
Sure, I'm no stranger to fasting, I wouldn't call it pleasant though. Eating can be a very strange experience, I have vivid memories of a burrata I felt like I could climb into but it's definitely nice not to be hungry
Set and setting. Trip with some poor people who haven’t seen a fresh fruit since grade school and look out instead for the magical “fruit” drinks that taste of their literal colors.
Never, ever, mix any other drug with alcohol - or for that matter don't mix any kind of drugs unless you are specifically aware of the purity, the amounts consumed and the interactions between the agents, and are under the supervision of a doctor.
If there is one thing that carries a real risk of fucking up (other than ODing) it is mix consumption.
You can check this chart for dangerous interactions between common recreational drugs. As far as I know it's well researched. Alcohol and acid are fine together, it just suppresses the effect.
LSD is a remarkably safe drug when it comes to interactions with other drugs.
No interaction is not the same as "fine". See the post about the person who had a whole bottle of gin and some beers but didn't feel the booze until the next morning. A lethal alcohol dose is already dangerously easy to reach.
Yep, I trip a lot and have always kept a few beers around for me or some friends. One beer really kills off the higher level stuff. It's always been magic.
Never heard of the other experiences ITT. Alcohol is a well known off-switch in all of the beat nation sort of literature.
Then again I think we are often talking about different substances when we say LSD. You'll find someone who supposedly has this great connection and the second you take their ticket, you have the instant dread of tasting metal knowing it's not LSD.
Some alcohol and some acid go well together imo. Alcohol surely doesn't stop the trip. Maybe it smoothens the come up a bit. I only do low doses of both though.
I took a few hundred or so micrograms a couple weeks ago. I did a dab weighing about .15g during the strong part, and I didn’t notice any perceptual shift at all.
Yeah, I’ve found having a beer definitely takes away some anxiety/twitchiness and brings me back to reality a bit faster. But it was the same for me, towards the end of a trip. Not sure how it works for somehow rapidly being swallowed by the void.
In my experience, the acid smashes straight through the effects of the alcohol. I drank quite a lot during the peak once, it didnt affect me at all. (Mind you my trip was okay, no anxiety i wanted to get rid of.)
The tail end was pretty rough though, getting slammed back into reality AND a nasty hangover wasn't fun.
All in all it felt pretty pointless. Not recommended.
My first trip so far, took only 1/3rd of a ticket. IDK what I really experienced, just some slight visuals. Definitely more pleasurable than mushrooms (less poisonous, less lyrical, more positive).
They aren’t toxic or poisonous, but psilocybin does have a nauseating effect on many people. The cell walls of the mushrooms can be hard for some to digest as well, which is why many people make a tea or tinctures. You’d have to consume an absolutely insane dose of them — so much so that the current lethal dose isn’t known — for safety to be a concern at a toxicological level. Emotionally and mentally, different story.
