This is the way marijuana affects psychedelics and why some people dislike and some people like...
Smoking pot greatly increases the psychedelic effects, and also brings the marijuana "high" feeling along with the psychedelia you're already experiencing. I've noticed that if one smokes pot regularly (like daily or multiple times daily), and their body/mind is somewhat used to it (tolerance), they generally LOVE smoking pot on psychedelics (me)...it really can be AMAZING at all points in the trip!
However, people who are "weekend smokers" or smoke not so frequently, are prone to the anxiolytic/paranoia effects that happen when this combo is used. I have seen good trips go BAD after a bowl. It doesn't only intensify things, it also brings all of marijuana's effects (e.g. confusion and paranoia seem to be exaggerated with this combo in inexperienced users). So it all has to do with how used to your body is to marijuana, and probably tolerance.
I'm not saying a non-regular user can't enjoy the combo, it is just a lot less likely.
not for me, it's not like that. I mean, I always liked the combo and in ,my old days - not that I tripped so many times - I often overdid. But I hadn't understood that along with the synergy come other stuffs.
I am a heavy user but I no longer wanna smoke in my classic psychedelic trips,
at least not a lot.
In my last trip [psiloshrooms] I did not blaze up until the end of it
and on mescaline I only did some tiny puffs at 2h intevals, 2 small joints in total [very very little for me]
I felt I chose right both times to act so
[I remember the first hit - it was also my first time mescaline - was when mesc started working and the hit [well half a joint] brought on awesome waves of mescaline - perfect synergy, which had me compulsively after 5 mins wanting to finish off the rest of the joint - but I did not and stuck with my schedule.
Over all yeah people are right ,
too much, or even more than just a few = more potential for paranoia and misunderstanding, clarity blurring, less ability to communicae, etc.
I find it quite funny that I have such a conservative approach using pot on psychs, while being uncontrollable in everyday life with my use. But then again I am conservative with psychs, so maybe that's it.
That's a nice thought.... hmmmmm
