L-Theanine and tripping

[Toast to the Spirits]

L-Theanine is the amino acid naturally occurring in green tea that has a calming effect, which helps balance some of the stimulating effects from the caffeine. Unfortunately, most sources of green tea do not contain enough L-Theanine to have any real effects, and those sources that do contain the highest amounts also naturally contain that much more caffeine. Supplementing with L-Theanine from sources without any caffeine, in doses between 100-400 mg. helps calm a user without causing any sedation. The effect of this calming is due to L-Theanine's production of alpha waves in the brain, which is similar to the workings of meditation. Does anyone or has anyone supplemented with L-Theanine to help set the stage for a psychedelic trip, or perhaps even to help redirect a difficult trip? What are your experiences?

L-Theanine never did much for me. I only feel it at all around 800mg, and even then it is extremely mild and nearly imperceptible.

I've only combined it with marijuana and it had some intensifying effects, but not a whole lot else.
