Hello everyone,
HISTORY
Over the past 2 months I have done mushrooms twice with my girlfriend and my friend. Both my girlfriend and I have been alright healthwise but my friend has fainted on both occasions. We have done shrooms together before (0.25g, 0.5g, 1g, 2g+molly) and he has never had any problem whatsoever. We have also used many other psychedelic drugs and considerer ourselves pretty experienced when it comes to trips. He did not used to smoke (only through bottle tokes to smoke hash but nothing compared to how many cigarettes he smokes now.
FIRST TIME FAINTING
Now the first time he fainted was on a 3.5g dose of dried mushrooms. His face became all white and he fell to the ground, starting sweating and his muscles were really tense. He was unable to communicate for a few seconds. Once on the ground he started to slowly get his senses back, but passed out a second time when standing up again. After this trip we chalked it up to a really difficult trip (3.5g was overwhelmingly strong compared to what we were used to) and thought maybe the anxiety had played a roll. There was also a suspicion that maybe cigarettes were involved because he passed out while smoking one.
SECOND TIME FAINTING
Music festival. Very loud. Crowded. We only took 1g this time to enjoy a relaxing high and listen to music. At some point he starts to exit the crowd so we follow him because he seems odd. A few steps later he stops moving and my girlfriend grabs hims as he collapses again. As we rush to get him out of the crowd with the help of some really nice people (someone with emergency medical training) he basically passes out 2-3 more times when we stand him up to move him. An off-duty nurse also took his pulse on the spot and said he was in bradycardia (lowered cardiac pulse). Once on the ground he regains consciousness slowly and is able to communicate but isn't aware that he passed out. Many cigarettes and cannabis has been smoked throughout the day. Low blood pressure seemed to be the issue and medical personnel and the nurse agreed on this and told us to sit by the fence, drink water and take it easy until he felt better.
SUMMARY (TL;DR)
Friend fainted twice (3.5g & 1g of shrooms respectively). Cigarettes had been smoked. Low blood pressure seems to be the issue.
Has anyone else experienced something like this personnaly or someone they know? What do you think could be the reason? Can cigarettes be doing this in combination with the mushrooms, because the other times we had tried shrooms (or any other psychedelic) there was no or very little nicotine/Tobacco involved. Could this be an issue with other psychedelic drugs/dissociatives in the future?
Best Regards,
Casey
