Psychedelics Without Weed

I was an absolutely compulsive user of weed for over 20 years - but at least tried to hold off during the main part of a psychedelic session wanting something clear/more real.
Weed will make a weak trip or mild compound seem better (trippier/more comfortable) but will fog or sometimes even hold back certain effects or learning. I always had some by the end and the evening would always end in the hedonistic fog/everythings fine do it tomorrow bubble.
When i finally stopped smoking weed I was worried how it would effect tripping but on the whole it's been fine - I actually think a little sedative or very moderate alcohol to sooth out the end preferable. Weed very quickly just becomes an escapist habit : although it is fairly harmless and has many positives but in my case and I suspect in others it's positive mental effects was something I endlessly told myself (based partly on several influential and genuinely good experiences with it) to justify my endless use and the fact stopping it bought on a hell of a lot of negative rebound effects.
 
I'm pretty into psychedelics. I have about 25 different types in my collection and trip about once every 3 weeks.

I haven't smoked weed for 10 years.

A great many people who have problems with cannabis will not have difficulty with psychedelics. They are totally different classes of drugs which are used together mostly by accident (though cannabis does relieve nausea).

In fact some of the anxiety commonly attributed to psychedelics may be in fact a result of concurrent cannabis intoxication. "Bad trips" may be significantly less likely in the absence of cannabis use.

My first psychedelic trips were taken without weed, mostly because I didn't have any at the time: I would recommend this to everyone.

^this. smoking weed on a trip causes a bad trip almost every time I try it. I never had a bad trip from psychedelics without weed, but a few bad trips / panic attacs from weed. I highly recommend not to mix weed and psychedelics, especially if you tend to get panic attacs from weed like me.
 
i have tripped a couple times without smoking, but normally smoke when tripping. there are PLENTY of people here on BL that prefer to abstain while tripping or dont smoke at all.

i almost always wait until at least the peak of the trip to smoke. for me, smoking before i peak can make things get a little more rocky and definitely more confusing. i usually aim for the come-up to be as comfortable as possible, as it tends to really set the tone for the trip for me. i generally do the same thing with MDMA, but thats more so i can smoke and bring the roll back up a little bit later on.

there have been a few times when i was tripping hard, smoked and it caused anxiety. usually this doesnt last for very long, but with psychedelics these things can turn into chain reactions so ive learned to be prudent about when to smoke, and if i am doubting if i should or not i usually take the safer route of abstaining.

the trip is much clearer without smoking, but smoking really amplifies the intensity, so i usually start smoking when im ready for a change of pace in the trip. this goes for the use of other drugs too--nitrous, ketamine, sometimes cocaine (i do not advise most trippers to start combining psychedelics with these other drugs as the synergy can be pretty powerful and overwhelming to those that are inexperienced). most of the time i wait until the comedown to bring out the other drugs for landing gear.
 
Shulgin never (or almost never) smoked Canabis during his experiments. I would venture to say that Hoffman didn't smoke during his LSD experiments either.
 
Im so sensitive to weed these days. The last time I smoked, I had extreme anxiety and depersonalisation I think. Glad psychs are unrelated. Quite confident on my first trip which will be soon.
 
I never smoke weed (tried it a couple of times but didn't like it) but I do like psychedelics.
