How essential is having something to bring you down just in case?

I don't really want to go through the trouble of getting a few Xanax or something like that, but I'm always afraid a friend or I will have a bad trip. Any good alternatives or anything-- besides fuzzy blankets and carpet haha

there are plenty of other benzos, things like etizolam and diclazepam that you can find on the clearnet. they will abort a trip just the same as xanax

I personally believe you can bring yourself down. Someone to help is very, very nice, but not mandatory. The first experience I think of, is when I had a 200mcg trip go bad and I was alone, and I managed to lay down in my bed and close my eyes and tried to blank my mind for a few seconds, and the next thing I remember is 'waking' up about 3 hours later, when it had mostly worn off

A heartwarming kids movie generally helps the trip from hell. I never have xanax and have taken a great deal of psychedelics. But sometimes nothing works and you just have to endure hell for however long. Its part of the game really.

I've never tried a benzo to calm a trip back in my tripping-damn-near-everyday phase. I would think it would just get you more wasted, but the other posts here seem to say otherwise.

I remember back when I realized I couldn't trip anymore. Ingot to the point where I started tripping really hard, no matter what the dose, and having really heavy body load. Made my organs hurt. I ate half a dose one night, just looking for a mild trip. An hour later it felt as though I had eaten a 10 strip. My girl at one and a half of the same doses, was just tripping mildly, and had to babysit my add haha. That was pretty much it for me. Ate small doses of shrooms a couple times after, and even then I tripped harder than anyone else who took more. I figured I burned up all my MAO, no way for my brain to break down the drugs. The year of eating AMT almost every day probably had something to do with it. All the 5-meo-dmt certainly didn't help either.

Even the roughest trips I managed to get through just fine, often by myself. If you're in the right mindset beforehand, and in the right setting, you should never have a problem. If others have experience with Xanax helping, I'd get yourself a 10pk of bars to have around. Bars are kinda nice cause if you rarely take them, you only really need a quarter to a half of one. 10 bars would give you a nice, long-lasting stash. You can get 10pks, US domestic, for 20-30 bones.

Any benzo will cancel out trip. Etizolam is just as good as xanax in getting rid of one.

Change the music, watch something cool on the YouTube, move to another (potentially warmer) room. If somebody has a bad trip, more often than not its because they started to over think things and got caught in a negative thought loop. All ya need to do is distract that person and they'll be able to get past it.

Another thing I might add is, if u get paranoid from s!oking pot, remember that the lsd will effect you for much longer. Soon the uncomfortable feeling from the feeling will fade and you'll be on your merry way!

Seroquel (quetiapine) is THE ultimate trip killer. Be prepared to sleep for 18 hours or be extremely tired the next day however. If you're a responsible psychedelic user you should plan to be too fucked up to drive for 1-2 days anyways.

It's always essential to have a back up plan in case of a freak occurence.

If you don't want to order xanax, go with a rc substitute.

I don't use psychs however I carry a narcain pen with me as well as inform my other using friends of what to do in the situation

something that i've learned after a lot of tripsits and volunteering at music festivals is that a lot of times once people really really need something to bring them down, not just having some manifestation of a "bad trip" (which oftentimes can be therapeutic if you can work through it) - i.e. some sort of psychotic break, they are too whacked out to realize it and don't trust anyone else when they suggest it to them

that being said, I always have the two tiers of landing gear... benzos for smoothing things out and atypical antipsychotics for that emergency parachute... if i could source some vials of haloperidol or thorazine i'd be real happy


[1 Points] OldschoolSR:

Its very good. But not a have to deal. I much prefer landing gear. Fron zan to boy

Its not needed at all, needing it is a sign you shouldn't be tripping.

I had a tough time sleeping after the first few trips i did. Benadryl helps with that.........

It's always good to have a backup plan

I have tripped on everything from LSD to 25i-25C-25D-2CB-2CI-5-MEO-Shrooms and DMT.(Prob missing a few just off the top of the dome.)

To take down the visuals MILK!!!!!!!!!!!!! For some reason or another it works have given it to people at raves that have dropped to much trip or eaten to much blotter 10-100 Hits at one time and they litterly thought they were god acting a fool didn't even know there own name etc. Make them drink a glass of milk and a hour or less they could at least function on a normal level again.

Milk will work for about half the Trippy drugs along with taking a COLD shower and of course XANAX or any other decent BENZO.

However the other half of the drugs like 2CI for example I was just in for the ride no matter what I took or did lol

If you are referring to getting sleep after a trip I prefer Pain Pills like Oxy etc or an Opiate rather than Xanax or a Benzo they have never been for me and just make me sleep and feel sick never got high off a benzo sadly and ive tried them all.
