Questions about tripping

[Permanently Stoned]

Ok, so i never tripped before on psychs and i really want to so i just have a few questions on my mind about it.

The thing is i smoke weed. I smoke it quite often, but if i smoke too much and get really high i get anxiety and get nervous so im just wondering what kind of "high" do psychs such as mushrooms and lsd give and if its similar to the head high you get from weed.
Is there anything i can do to stop anxiety besides meds or what?
What exactly does it feel like when tripping as far as body buzz's?
how often do bad trips occur?

and what if i dont like tripping, is there anything i can do to help me come down?

I just want to know as much as possible about it before i do it and since i get anxiety on weed i was wondering if id be able to handle tripping or not.

Thanks, All info is appreciated!

I adore psychedelics and have never had a truly bad trip, but I have near panic attacks every time I smoke, I've heard similar from others so I'd say that your experience with one can't tell you very much about the other. Not all psychedelics are the same, and two people on the exact same substance at the same dosage in the same setting can have wildly different experiences. I wouldn't worry about a bad trip so long as you have a safe environment and are sure you want to do this, just start with a reasonable dose and open your mind to whatever experience you're greeted with.

If you truly want to experience what the chemical has to offer, don't shy away from the effects, breathe into it and let go. It's doubtful that the experience will be that intense if you dose low, but you never know.

Some people find that anti-anxiety medication such as Xanax will help kill a trip, but in my experience it dulls the positive effects but leaves me in the unpleasant state I was trying to escape. In my opinion, its a far better approach to face whatever difficult experience it is head on, you very well may be surprised by what happens, and no matter how bad things may seem, you may be back on top of the world in minutes. Psychs are like that.

If you're concerned, I'd recommend a trip sitter your first time, make sure you have no responsibilities and a safe environment. Above all, bring a friend ;p

Have fun.

I frequently get anxiety from getting high myself. About 90% of the time if I smoked while tripping, the trip would take a turn for the worse.
I've only had one trip where I got anxiety without smoking weed, but it was basically my weed anxiety(I've probably tripped on psychedelics around 20 times). Still, I didn't regret the trip as a whole because of the 5 mins of terrifying anxiety I had.

The only bad trips I have ever had have been due to smoking large bowls of weed when peaking, it gives me terrible anxiety smoking too much.

The only psychedelic that has caused anxiety for me by itself has been Miprocin, a substance I wont ever be taking again.

As for the body buzz it really depends on what substance you take, mushrooms are rather sedating whereas the 2C's are stimulating.

As mentioned already, set and setting is vital, I wouldn't worry about a bad trip if your in good company in a familiar and safe environment and you take a reasonable sized dose.

You cant really begin to contemplate what tripping will be like until you try it, it's totally different from the head high that weed gives, only way to find out is to take the plunge... depending on what substance you choose to take im gonna say you will have a good time
