Psychedelics with sedative effects

I have been fairly interested in experimenting with psychedelics for some time, although I do have my concerns. The possibility of a bad trip as well as long term effects are quite disturbing to me.
Anyway, I was wondering if there are any psychedelics with natural sedative properties. I am not a fan of stimulants and synthetics so I wanted to find something that was the best of both worlds. What are your thoughts on this topic? Any info is appreciated.
 
personally I find 4-Ac/P/HO-DMT (shrooms) to be pretty sedating. It's also pretty decent for beginners if the dosage is kept sensible. Also tried AL-LAD the other day and that wasn't stimulant-y at all, but I wouldn't say it was particularly sedating.
In terms of natural psychedelics, DMT isn't really stimulating apparently but I don't know anyone that would recommend it for first time psychedelic experience.
http://www.bluelight.ru/vb/archive/index.php/t-395121.html lists LSA as well. Others suggest DOI, 2C-C and others.
 
I would recommend 2CI, the first bit is a little rough but I always find I can eat and sleep on it.
 
I'd definitely recommend 2C-C - it's so relaxing I can't imagine having a bad trip on it. Feels like a cross between a psychedelic and an opiate.
 
Heard good words about 2C-T-21 numerous times, it doesn't really seem to be around though
 
LSA (e.g. in HBWR seeds) induces a very pleasant sleepy state if you don't force youself to move around. Look it up in the Tihkal.
The obvious downside is the horrendous nausea.
 
If you're prone to anxiety and worried about bad trips and the like, you should be really careful with psychedelics. In your case, I don't know that something with sedative properties is so much what's needed, as much as something that produces a good amount of euphoria and is mentally forgiving. Cubensis mushrooms, as someone mentioned above, are nice but can be very difficult mentally if you're in the wrong headspace for a trip, which it sounds like you very well may be. Things like zolpidem and muscimol are by definition sedatives, but still often produce 'bad trips.'

I usually suggest new users start out with 2C-B, and that would still be my suggestion here. Either that, or low-dose DMT; it's quite euphoric, and wears off very quickly in the event that you end up not enjoying the experience.
 
Consume about 2-3g of Indica herb in a dessert or food, or smoke an excellent Indica until you can't move or don't want to move and feel sleepy.

Also Psilocybin mushrooms at a moderate/high dose can make you feel lazy, and give you a lot of body load.

If you want legal things that will give you a sedative effect make some Chamomile or Rooibos (also called red "tea"), steep for 10 mins, and drink 3 cups. Some people find Valerian root and Passionflower to be this way but they did not make me tired.
 
Well, LSD is quite stimulating, in a sense, but it's still the most positive and anxiety-free trip for me.

Ayahuasca is a beautiful psychedelic too, especially in low doses, it feels incredibly healthy and natural, and loving.
 
LSD, 2c-x are all pretty stimulating

you're definitely looking for a tryptamine something related to 4-ho-dmt like 4-aco-dmt 4-ho-met or something like that. They aren't that sedating but aren't stimulating either. Kind of neutral. For sedating amanita muscaria mushrooms may be something you'd be interested in but they aren't classic psychedelics.

Personally i love stim psychs, the tryptamines always give me that yawning stretching bullshit that becomes annoying. 4-ho-met and 4-ho-mipt would be my choices for psychs, they dont last that long, they are fun and there's pretty much no risk of stimulation or a bad trip. They are purely recreational psychs at modest doses. 2c-c could also work but i'd go the tryptamine route.
 
I enjoy low to moderate doses of 4-AcO-DMT for a relaxing psychedelic experience. I find the 2Cs highly stimulating in comparison.
 
i hate stimulants as well and 2ci is definitely stimulating to me that's why i stopped taking it, made me feel cracked out after a few hours (not to mention its now illegal and i cant get it anymore) 25i-nbome or 25c-nbome are much less stimulating and more enjoyable to me than the other 2c's I've had. Any psilocybin based substances are your best bet imo, mushrooms, 4homet I'd highly recommend. 4acodmt and 4homipt are good too

taking a small amount of benzos like alprazolam, clonazapam or etizolam with a psych would be a good option, i think. i occasionally take benzos with certain psychs because they cause some anxiety/over-stimulation for me sometimes.

mxe is nice and sedating too, its a dissociative i know but it has psychedelic properties for sure.
 
Yeah I would stay away from most 2c chems as they are stimulating for me (and I think they pale in comparison to other psychedelics).

You could always go with ketamine which is sedating but its probably not best for a first time. If you dose mxe correctly it would be a good psychedelic that was somewhat sedating.

25Inbome is pretty sedating for me (can't do much other than sit there looking at things, no desire to move around). 25C was more stimulating for me

Mushrooms will probably be your best bet as they are likely to be easier to get.
 
I wouldn't recommend mxe over ketamine haha
Mxe has all the same potential for a confusing extremely dissociated trip but only much longer than ketamine

Yes it has the potential but I don't know many people who do low dose ketamine by itself compared with low dose mxe. I think most people who haven't taken psychedelics before would prefer the experience of mxe in that context, especially when it comes to the greater ability to move around without feeling nauseous.
Just my 2c
