thinking of dropping again- ways to take the edge off?

[CherokeeMist]

i've dropped once before, it was a pretty light trip but enough to get me interested.

i'm thinking of taking it again, but naturally i'm kind of nervous. would anyone reccomend doing something to take the edge off like having a few drinks? or does that kind of ruin the experience. i'm not talking like, getting piss drunk or anything- just a few to sort of get comfortable.

i also like drinking poppy seed tea every now and then... it's kind of subtle and seems like it would be a nice addition- has anyone tried the opiate/acid combo, and what did you think?

Weed always keeps me mellow but intensifies it at the same time

Seriously Bananas contain serotonin and dopamine
If you are getting too edgy eat a banana or 2 it works everytime

Have a good work out session. Lift some weights, run for 10 - 15 minutes at an 8 minute mile pace. Take a shower, you'll feel fresh and clean, and you'll feel great because of the endorphins. That's what I did when I first tried shrooms--and I was actually having a pretty shitty day, but working out just made me feel so much better and I had a GREAT trip.

Work out while you're tripping?

[DroneLore]

Nah earlier in the day. That's what I did.

you could have a few beers or a mixed drink..

pretty good for alleviating anxiety.

vitamin c calms the brain, so eat oranges too
I always have bananas and oranges with me when I'm on any drug. I consider them as essential as tobacco.

Personally, once I get to the real come-up, most of my anxiety goes away.

If you really need to, 2-3 beers during the course of the come-up would be fine. 5 mg or so of diazepam (or an equal dose of any benzo) would also work.

Whatever you do, don't go balls-out on whatever you take. My guess is that once you have a hardcore, good trip, you won't need it anymore.

a few beers before dosing is nice and helps you ease into it alot easier. likewise a few beers on the comedown can help pass the time and make you sleepy...

[-_-HitMan-_-]

From what I understand, though I've never done acid, the come up always contains some sort of anxiety and on most trips it just goes away.

[burnabowl]

yes, i've only really felt edginess, confusion during the comeup. after the peak everything coalesces. using alc or opies before the peak might add to the confused edginess, but not nscrly. I think the poppy tea is a sweet idea, but save it for the comedown. I think alcohol is always dumb just because it seems to make people forget the experience. whatever the case be very moderate :)
