Starting the trip with weed - Yay or nay?

I like to have a cone after I get significant visuals and a decent body high, but I haven't yet reached that threshold. This is usually about an hour after dose. If timed right, this will instantly kick the trip into gear. However, a few times this suddenly peaking thing has resulted in some bad feelings. The trip feels a bit too much. I still keep doing it, because feeling yourself launch into this other dimension is simply awesome. Plus, after an hour of waiting, I just want the fucking thing to start. So what do you guys think?

 

I usually smoke herb shortly after eating my dose. It helps me think about other stuff and be more social rather than contemplating when and how hard the L is going to hit me.

 

generally i've experienced more lucid trips if you don't smoke at all or smoke after the peak on the comedown.

 

Its different for everyone. and even individual people go through stages with the herb for sure. I know people who would do it every trip with great results. Now is a different story for some of them, shit changes. Just do what you feel based on your own experiences.

I suggest trying a higher dose of psychedelic and leaving out the herb for a try and see how you like it

 

I always feel as weed kicks it in to hyperdrive.

 

I always regret it afterwards. i forget too many trains of thoughts and things. i like the sharp lucidity of just vanilla lucy, even though it may be a harder experience (marijuana being like a safety blanket)

 

later in the trip fo sho. like 1 or 2 hours past the peak

 

I really like to smoke extremely small amounts of headys throughout the trip. Like two hits each time. Wouldnt do a thing if I was sober.

 

I'm pretty much with Mr. Writer and Desos. I think smoking weed does intensify some of the sensory aspects of the trip but it also clouds the trip and I don't find myself retaining nearly as much or taking away nearly as much as when the LSD is by itself.

 

dont really think ive ever tripped without weed..

 

Ive never tripped with weed. Quit smoking like 3 years ago. I enjoy my trips without it though.

 

on lots of my trips i would go like 3 hours without really anything but slight visuals, then ill smoke a bowl and immediatley start tripping HARD.

 

Yea I do forget some cool stuff and lose my train of thought when I smoke. Thats why I usually smoke a small amount of real high grade, it gives it a good kick into it, but then the fogginess clears up fast.

 

i always trip with weed, but usually just at the beginning and very end. Take the dose, then smoke good weed or weed & hash.

Usually, once the dose hits, smoking more weed would be what they call "coals to Newcastle," it wouldn't affect, touch, impact the high. But, IF i am underdosed, weed is essential. Pot and/or hash hits can make a non-visual trip visual for up to an hour in my experience. It can take a trip gently to the next level without requiring another dose.

When i am almost all the way baseline and getting irritated at being up for so long (This is where the younger people start popping "benzos" or something similar.) i smoke a good bowl or two and i fall asleep hallucinating (very mild CEV's). Nice.

But, i do have an infamous cannabinoid tolerance . . . .

 

^ exactly. For low dose trips that are not working right, weed is a savior! It will take you from zero to hero.

But with higher doses pot is usually pointless, the throwing a pebble into a hurricane situation. Its not even gonna cloud the experience, but maybe cloud your mind from fully embracing the experience and remembering it afterward.

 

Yea i generally smoke as i'm coming down from the trip when i'm in a contemplative attitude of what just happened to me.
