Would a few beers before a mushroom trip would be a good idea to prevent any anxiety?

Last time I ate an eighth I freaked myself out... I couldn't relax at all... I paced around until my peak wore off, which was a waste of some dank cubies that I had at the time.

I have another eighth, but I don't want to chance having a bad trip again. I always take em on an empty stomach and try to mentally prepare, but that hasnt always worked.

Smoke a joint.

If you're worried going into the trip, wait until a day that you're excited and looking forward to tripping.

Don't start mixing things right away. If you already had a negative experience with an 8th how bout taking a lighter dose and just chill out in a setting where you feel safe and at peace.

.peace.

I wouldn't. It would make any possible puking that much worse, and that much more likely.


If you are worried about having a bad trip, you will. You need to just say fuck it, and NOT WORRY. Who cares if you freak out? It will eventually end. Everything always eventually ends. If you can't handle the trip, you shouldn't be doing it in the first place, because you are only going to cause psychological damage to yourself. It's also much harder to work through things, and actually SEE what your mind is trying to show you when you are all freaked out.


Just be mellow, go with the flow, don't stress, and eat the damn mushrooms, you will be fine.

The more you stress over it, the worse it will be. Give in. Let it take you. That's the point.

beer and mushies go great together imo. ive enver had a bad trip so i dunno if it will help. if i feel anxious b4 a trip i usually pop a benzo (even tho it dulls the trip ever so slightly, more with acid tho). Or i at least keep some around.

I've just had a hard time finding a good dose on shrooms...

I've had real light trips that never seemed to "take off" kinda like being really stoned off some good weed

Then theres the trips that just fuck with my head--- to the point where I feel like I'll never come down

I want to aim somewhere in the middle

So, yeah... I guess it comes down to just doing it and not psyching myself out :)

I definitely wouldn't suggest him to smoke marijuana since ganja can greatly heighten the overall experience and thus make him even more uneasy, paranoid, anxious, and whatever else.

Ideally, the OP just needs to chill out and get comfortable with shroom experience before he starts mixing things and further experimenting.

If your truly getting some good fungus I’d suggest starting with a low dosage, especially since you already had a negative experience…

For instance, on a day when you feelin dandy ;) and have plenty of time and no worries <--> 1-1.5grams <--> consumed in a place where you feel mentally and physically comfortable. Thereafter enage yourself within the land of music ... drawing … reading philosophical theories (basically what ever it is you enjoy).

.peace.

id take like a gram lorazepam, but i take that regularly, so...

Just eat them.
Shrooms have always had a very positive vibe for me, no matter what.

Smoking weed when I'm on mushrooms seems to bring the trip down, not make it more intense.

^ i really enjoy smoking weed on shrooms, seems to make everything funnier

but then again i smoke weed with all my drugs, acid, coke etc

It all depends........

Personally I don't mind mixing alcohol with acid, though acid and shrooms are very different.
The last time I mixed shrooms with alcohol + other shit, I don't really remember it, and personally that's what a trip shouldn't be.

But like stupidnoob said, if you're wiggin yourself over nothing while tripping, maybe you should'nt be doing it.

If you feel the same way I do then it all comes down to experience.
What do you remember from about a week ago? it may come down to what state of mind you were in at the time, now you remember that experience as that.
If you have a bad trip, you will remember a bad experience......Do you really want to remember your trip as bad?
I know from experience that some bad trips come naturally, but only because of poor preparation of the trip, environment/state of mind


If people are going to keep spreading bullshit about psychedelics, then guess what is going to be said about them???
Just respect everything you experience.

The whole point on hallucinogens is to see reality in a different/warped perspective, just be thankful that you have that freedom to do so.
Take in every feeling you feel off your senses, it's not everyday your senses will experience that.

I hope some people know where I am trying to come from

Alcohol dulls your senses, while psylocybin heightens them. If you enjoy tripping and seeing cool things, but don't enjoy the thoughts you get, then alcohol can numb the "heady" part of mushrooms. It can also ease your body if you get physically uncomfortable during the trip.

Marijuana can make you more docile and playful on mushrooms, but can also take away from the full experience of a clean mushroom trip. Mushrooms should be enjoyed on their own.

Like others have said, all you need to do for a good trip is be excited about it, relax, and let it take its own course. Don't be around people who will try to fuck with you, and have some good music playing.
