What are your thoughts on the combination of the two? Personally, weed makes my trips a lot fuzzier and more closed eye, but give a lot more spiritual emphasis on the comedown. Just shrooms however seems to give a really clear and vivid trip for a longer period of time, but tends to make me more paranoid and scared on the comedown. Thoughts?
Either way is fine. I do really like a doobie after I've come back to reality though, can't sleep otherwise.
I nearly always smoke coming up. purely a comfort thing, helps me relax and get in a good state of mind for the trip. I know lots of people who prefer not to, though. I enjoy myself just as much either way generally, because I do love teh mushrooms :]. I notice I tend to get more lost in my head when I've smoked, which I like.
I always smoke if it's available. Mary helps ease me into the psychedelic mindset (no matter what substance) and generally makes the visuals more pronounced.
Like most life experiences, weed makes it better. Ive never noticed a change in the trip, so much as being stoned AND on mushrooms. At the peak, I barely feel a change, but its really great to smoke on the comedown. Cigarettes are better for the trip itself.
i actually never smoke when i take psychedelics... except for low doses of ketamine and any dose of DXM. weed has a strange effect on me, and sometimes i get really panicked and anxious. i've had worse freak outs smoking weed than i have on any acid or mushroom trip... weird, i know. anyway i can generally handle smoking weed but if i'm tripping i don't want to take the chance... besides, weed is pretty hazy for me and i love the crisp awareness i get when i trip. sometimes i'll smoke way later on in the day, after i'm more or less baseline, though.
I think weed and shrooms are the most complementary drugs. I don't smoke while peaking, but often a little before and definetly after. Mushies can screw up my stomach a bit, but 1-2 hits of the weed make it stop instantly. On the comedown, I'll smoke to gently set myselg down in reality. I find that tripping very suddenly, which can be harsh and unpleasant. Towards the end of my trip, if I smoke, I'll just go to being high and eventually sleeping.
I never had good experiences smoking before, but after the peak and once the comedown is evident, marijuana seems to be a blessing, it helps normalize me back into "reality"
I agree with NorCali, weed on the peak is fucking pointless. It's good to half for the ups and down though.
for me,weed with any psychedlic seems to exponentially increase the effects of the psychedelics. One time I was almost down from a night of acid and all it took was a joint to propell me to a crazier state then I was in at peak.
i dont like to be stoned while tripping, but i tend to always smoke on psychedelic comedowns. its nice because you get to experience the psychedelic in its pure state, and then right when you start sliding down from the peak, toss that cannabis in there and you get to see what the combination is like too
I love smoking a couple bowls when I start to descend from the peak. I have no THC tolerance so it takes me to another level.
im the same way. funny that, i remember a time when it wasnt so. i used to smoke weed and go to job interviews. ganja has a more powerful effect on me now though and i rarely smoke outside of my own home. it can be real good medicine for me but not when im in social situations, i like to smoke solo.
