Someone I love dearly was diagnosed with terminal cancer, several months ago. He has never tried any psychedelic drugs (and no recreational drugs). I had read some articles about cancer patients taking LSD and mushrooms and having relief from anxiety, etc. Obviously, as a psychedelic explorer myself, this wasn't surprising. I sent him some literature and offered to be his trip-sitter. I expected him to say no (because I know that he is weary of all drugs). He said he'd think about it. A few days later he told me that he's still not sure, but that he thinks he's going to take me up on the offer.
So, this is not a sure thing, but I would like to be prepared if he says go. Here are some of my initial thoughts:
(Edit: Forgot to mention that I'll also bring along etizolam in case we need to bail or mellow things out for whatever reason.)
I've been with a few people for their first psychedelic experience, but I've never done an explicit trip-sit (and never while sober). I feel totally confident that I will do a fine job, but any advice or literature to read to help prepare would be appreciated.
Thanks much.
So, this is not a sure thing, but I would like to be prepared if he says go. Here are some of my initial thoughts:
- I'm thinking of going with 150ug of ETH-LAD (after a light breakfast) since I don't have reliable access to LSD. Alternatively, I'm considering going with mushrooms. Thoughts? I have access to plenty of other RCs, but these are my top picks for this.
- I am undecided about whether I should be totally sober during the experience, or take a micro-dose for myself (to help stay in sync).
- I think we will start in a familiar, private environment, and work our way out to nature if it feels right, when things get underway. Or should we start outdoors?
- I would like suggestions for what to ask him to bring with.
- I would like suggestions for how he can help himself prepare for the trip (setting intentions, etc).
