I'll stick to RCD trip off switches :-)
Whats that?
So no info on what it actually is. Just some company filing a patent. And the fact that they call it "a neutralizer technology" suggests that it's probably just a bunch of BS combined with previously known drugs to make it patentable. I'm pretty sure there's at least some published research on using at least one antipsychotic for that and mountains of "folk research" on using benzodiazepines.
We already have one. Give someone having a bad trip a Xanax and they're good.
How about alcohol? I’ve only had one third of a trip and towards the end whiskey took some of the edge off.

Never, ever, mix any other drug with alcohol - or for that matter don't mix any kind of drugs unless you are specifically aware of the purity, the amounts consumed and the interactions between the agents, and are under the supervision of a doctor. If there is one thing that carries a real risk of fucking up (other than ODing) it is mix consumption.
LSD is a remarkably safe drug when it comes to interactions with other drugs.

Yeah marketing something widely known to make it palatable and "provide liability" isn't new. See e.g. Scott Alexander's piece on literal fish oil: https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/06/15/fish-now-by-prescripti...
Spoiler alert

(though I understand a bit of the issues behind the BRCA gene testing thing and I'm not sure it continues to be banned or merely the results need to be more generic and not just "you have X% of having cancer")
note: i’m not a doctor or anything related. Wikipedia says “5-HT2A antagonists block the psychedelic activity of LSD”[0], so wouldn’t 5-ht2a antagonists like mirtazapine work well enough here? No idea as to how quickly the trip would be tempered, though [0]: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lysergic_acid_diethylamide

I've never been able to even contemplate eating while tripping and the idea of drinking alcohol while tripping turns my stomach, I find it much easier to just take some alprazolam or diazepam if things start getting out of hand. That's just me personally though, I've tripped with a guy who went and bought and ate a whole chicken while tripping...
protip.. Try and force yourself to eat, it gives you one less thing for your body to be weird about.

But if a fish oil medicine had those issues, I would be shocked, because the consequences for the guilty party would be much bigger, a huge circus of lawsuits and people losing their licenses. That's how I imagine it anyway.
