Or a bit of MDMA

MDMA will not reduce the effects of LSD but remove the element of fear and bring your imagination into more pleasant areas. This is something that Rick Doblin, the founder of MAPS, describes in the latest Tim Ferriss podcast.

Just wanted to say thanks for bringing attention to this interview . I really enjoy Rick's thoughts on these issues

All of the other responses are accurate -- combining the two will augment and possibly lengthen the experience -- but if you're familiar with both substances enough to feel confident in combining them, I've always found that 70mg dose of MDMA and a big glass of water will pull me right out of a trip that's heading south, and pretty quickly, into more glorious places.

But again, disclaimer: this is really only for folks experienced enough to know how to navigate each separate space well, and for those that have confirmed, tested, pure, high quality MDMA.

I highly recommend everyone candy-flip at least once, just to see why they call it candy-flipping (because everything looks like lovey-dovey glowing gumdrops). However, in my experience, the serotonin release from the MDMA tends to overwhelm the LSD, and you pay for it with the inevitable comedown and MDMA hangover the next day instead of the blissful LSD afterglow.

Highly recommend not candy flipping from anecdotal experience if anyone's thinking about doing it.

MDMA & LSD is my favorite combination (in the privacy of your own home with cozy safe surroundings and no external obligations for at least 2 days).

+1 the very best combo.

Let me add due to the number of replies, that I was in a comfortable, safe setting with a consistent, trusted source.

I personally ran into an issue with _intense_ head pressure I've not experienced before and it was very discomforting.

As with all recreational drugs, your experience has many variables to make it pleasant or not.

So as much as I'd recommend against (and won't do it again), there's obviously great experiences to be had candy flipping.

YMMV

I would recommend it. Really takes the edge off and makes the whole experience much more pleasant. It somewhat dulls the acute introspection, though.

This does not get you out of a trip. This is called candy clipping and has the opposite affect.

This combination could be described as getting strapped into a rocket ship with (silent) fireworks going off inside repeatedly. Whew.

candy flipping

Typo, yeah :)

this will lengthen the trip by alot
