Using alcohol(beer, vodka ect) to bring you down from an LSD trip.. - General

Is this true?

Alcohol diminishes the molecule of LSD but I am not sure whether or not you can use it to destroy the effects.

Not sure but what i do know is that milk and OJ help to speed up the metabolism

Well, I suppose it could allow you to sleep part of it off, but you can't really drink away psychedelics.

I doubt it, but if you are having a bad trip I am pretty sure benzos are used to calm you down.

Both Benzo and Alcohol work quite well with calming a trip down. Edit: Or it might've been just benzo. Don't remember :V

alcohol sounds like the most stupid idea mostly because it makes u do stupid shit without thinking twice, combine this with a heavy trip and ur gonna make the local newspapers headline just like drugtourists

Alcohol alone doesn't help much, it might make it just more confusing than it is already.

Alcohol consumed prior to taking the LSD will significantly reduce the effects. I know this from personal experience. However, I doubt alcohol taken during the trip would bring you down. I've heard that you simply cannot feel the effects of the alcohol. The first time I took LSD, I made the mistake of playing a few rounds of beer pong before hand. After I took the LSD, I stopped being drunk (it cleared my mind completely), but I did not trip, or at least not substantially.

I made that mistake, but I just stayed drunk with no effect from the acid.

Take a benzodiazepine such as Xanax, it won't necessarily kill the trip completely but will bring it down to a much calmer level. Feels good man.

Alcohol is a sedative drug. it may not remove the actual tripping to a 100% but if you're having a hard time relaxing a beer or two will soothe your mind. Benzo or antipsychotics is the best alternative. :P

Thorazine is a drug seen to completely reverse an LSD trip.

[QUOTE=Dan The Man;22206204]Thorazine is a drug seen to completely reverse an LSD trip.[/QUOTE] That what it is made to do :P People with schizophrenia use it.

[QUOTE=Dan The Man;22206204]Thorazine is a drug seen to completely reverse an LSD trip.[/QUOTE] i've read that most trippers suggest very heavily against using classical anti-psychotics such as thorazine. if things happen to go bad, many suggest that you plead with doctors/nurses not to give it to your friend. i'll try find the reasons against it in a bit.

[QUOTE=Dan The Man;22206204]Thorazine is a drug seen to completely reverse an LSD trip.[/QUOTE] I would never fuck around with anti-psychotics. I'd much rather just wait out the trip than take a drug that's going to drastically reduce my dopamine.

It reduces Dopamine. High dopamine = schizophrenia = hallucinations/delusions/paranoia Low dopamine = parkinson's = significantly inhibited motor skills

Most anti-psychotics have some preety nasty side effects. Many of those who have schizophrenia, bipolar, etc, prefer to not use certian types of anti-psychotics.

Most anti-psychotics are dopamine and serotonin antagonists and they DO reverse an LSD trip. It's unlikely to get to a point where this is necessary but sometimes it really is necessary if someone is freaking out.

Mixing drugs seems like a great idea.

[QUOTE=The_Fly56556;22232717]Mixing drugs seems like a great idea.[/QUOTE] What do you know about the mixing of drugs? Classic psychedelics can almost be mixed with anything that does not cause serotonin storm.

I get a bit shaky sometimes, but I figured that was from MDMA abuse.

[QUOTE=HiddenMyst;22242603]I get a bit shaky sometimes, but I figured that was from MDMA abuse.[/QUOTE] There are other causes of motor skill impairment.

[QUOTE=Imaledgev2;22238578]He's speaking from experience, so stop trying to be patronising[/QUOTE] Have you ever taken LSD? I'm not sure he's speaking from experience. If so, his experience differs greatly from mine. My experience is that on LSD, you're not like "wow, I could do this and that", because you're so busy trying to understand the shit that's going on in your brain that you'll just sit there and do nothing most of the time. LSD tends to make me very thoughtful and careful about anything I do because I have such a hard time concentrating on how I need to move my body parts in order to achieve what I'm trying to do... Then, if I add alcohol, it just reduces the crazy blindfiring of my synapses, but I'm still nowhere near in the mood to try stupid shit.

Doesn't sound like any of my LSD experiences...

[QUOTE=HiddenMyst;22242603]If that's true, then I have a fucked body with strange dopamine levels that jump from one extreme to another. I get a bit shaky sometimes, but I figured that was from MDMA abuse.[/QUOTE] Shakiness from MDMA use is pretty much a direct result of dopamine depletion. If you took risperidone you'd get parkinsonian symptoms for the same reason, dopamine downregulation or technically antagonism. Receptors D1 and D2 being antagonised is the cause for parkinsons.

[QUOTE=Anubis678;22258283]Doesn't sound like any of my LSD experiences...[/QUOTE] Guess it depends greatly on your surroundings. Never tried it at parties or anything like that, though I can understand why people would use it to party, at least in small doses.
