We already have one. Give someone having a bad trip a Xanax and they're good.
Don't benzos have some pretty nasty side effects and/or dependency potential though? Maybe this drug is a bit more targeted / less risky?
That all said, I have used a few types infrequently for helping to get to sleep and found them absolutely delightful, waking up refreshed and energised (and still somewhat relaxed) the next day.
They absolutely have dependency potential, but you have to be regularly taking them for that to be an issue, a fact which the doctor who was merrily prescribing me them failed to mention. Kicking them was much easier for me from an addictive perspective than cigarettes, but with dramatically worse side effects.
They’re also going to make a certain percentage of the population feel incredible (or just allow them to relax/sleep when they can’t usually), so they’re also very more-ish.
In short: taking them once a quarter is unlikely to be an issue unless you already have poor impulse control and easy access to them, in which case: just don’t start.
Strong indicas in particular, Gorilla Glue for example.
I’m a habitual use and I don’t experience those affects any longer, but plenty of people do and it could make a trip worse.
That smoking a psychoactive when you're on an intense psychoactive somehow helps you go to sleep makes you at extreme outlier fwiw.
If you aren't using it to get high (so as intended for panic attacks / aborting lsd trips) and using it very infrequently (e.g. Only for lsd trips) you'll have no problems at all.
The issues are usually when you take it daily, especially if you take enough for the recreational effects. (Although daily isn't necessarily bad if you are being very careful with a doctor).
Tl;Dr - yeah benzos have issues with tolerance/depedancy but if you are only using what you need therapeutically, especially since lsd requires you to space out trips, then you're unlikely to have issues.
You can still be awake, but you won’t be tripping any more, the sleep only comes if you actually lay down and try to go to sleep or take a large enough dose of benzos.
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.
If there is one thing that carries a real risk of fucking up (other than ODing) it is mix consumption.
Excellent general advice but in this case LSD is widely known to have no dangerous interactions with alcohol.
LSD is a remarkably safe drug when it comes to interactions with other drugs.
On the other hand, fresh fruit is usually marvellous.
Hemp milk is pretty chill too.
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.
In fact, they are typically considered the safest recreational drug, both in terms of its pharmacology but also in terms of reported ER incidents: https://www.theguardian.com/society/2017/may/23/study-halluc...
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.
MDMA & LSD is my favorite combination (in the privacy of your own home with cozy safe surroundings and no external obligations for at least 2 days).
I personally ran into an issue with _intense_ head pressure I've not experienced before and it was very discomforting.
As with all recreational drugs, your experience has many variables to make it pleasant or not.
So as much as I'd recommend against (and won't do it again), there's obviously great experiences to be had candy flipping.
YMMV
But again, disclaimer: this is really only for folks experienced enough to know how to navigate each separate space well, and for those that have confirmed, tested, pure, high quality MDMA.
