Time between trips (different substances)

[HarryHaller]

I know it's best to wait a while between trips on psychedelics. For example, it's good to wait at least a few weeks after an acid trip before dosing again. However, does the same hold true if you switch the psychedelic drug? If someone took acid at the beginning of the week, would they be fine shrooming at the end of the week, or do the two drugs act in the same way on the brain and release the same chemicals?

Actually, physical tollerance disapates within a few days, so you would be fine in that sense to take acid every week. (however ovbiously not a good idea). As to cross tollerance you would find deminished activity from other psycs in that few day window (although depending on how different they are you might experience less tollerance).

As to whether doing such a thing is in any way wise: no!

It takes a while to intergrate a trip, any trip. So it's generally a bad idea to be tripping all the time whatever the substance. Thats not to say I haven't done it, but definatly not wise, or something that should be done repeatedly.

Another issue is that I think the way in which psycs unlock your subconsious is cumulative over a period of time. So if you trip today, then three days later, you may find that you sudenly reveal parts of yourself you never new existed (and that can be scary).

Finally, triping all the time can spoil the magic. I went to a festival last year where I took trips every day for 4 days, escalating doses to combat tollerance. By the end of it I was just board with tripping. It was like "oh, everything looks funny, but I really just want some sleep".

I think it depends on the receptors that the drug binds to, so if you switch the sets of receptors there should be fewer tolerance problems. LSD on Monday, PCP on Wednesday, Datura on Friday (Yay), and Salvia on Sunday if you've survived that long?

True, I was assuming that he was talking about phenethylamines and tryptamines. If you went down that route why skip days, trip every day .

But seriously tho this would be pretty stupid, at least if you kept it up for a few weeks.
