What was wrong with Niacin? 1500mg of Niacin stops it in less than 20 minutes for me.

An LSD Trip “Off-Switch” May Be Coming Soon

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...
In my experience, processed food of all sorts appears utterly weird and unappealing in this state. On the other hand, fresh fruit is usually marvellous.
Set and setting. Trip with some poor people who haven’t seen a fresh fruit since grade school and look out instead for the magical “fruit” drinks that taste of their literal colors.

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...
There have been way too many scandals around supplement purity for me to buy into his narrative. Like if someone told me a given brand of fish oil supplements contained 10% of the stated dose, was rancid and full of heavy metals I wouldn't be the least surprised. 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 lawsui…
IMO we need the FDA to start caring about supplements. They should at least be allowed to nail companies straight-up lying about dosages. Hell, classify them as food and they probably could.

#85We 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.
Yep, I trip a lot and have always kept a few beers around for me or some friends. One beer really kills off the higher level stuff. It's always been magic.
Never heard of the other experiences ITT. Alcohol is a well known off-switch in all of the beat nation sort of literature.
Then again I think we are often talking about different substances when we say LSD. You'll find someone who supposedly has this great connection and the second you take their ticket, you have the instant dread of tasting metal knowing it's not LSD.

#86So 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.
I'm curious what would be the market for this? wouldn't that be an extremely niche scenario within the emergency-response medicine where people inexperienced with LSD who suffer a bad trip ask to be taken off it? afaik LSD isn't a drug that one is likely to OD from either.

There is a lot of hearsay off switches, there is just a lot of hearsay in drug communities.
For LSD, anything to get out of the rest of a 14 hour trip and come down would be an option that the market would easily gravitate toward.

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.
You can check this chart for dangerous interactions between common recreational drugs. As far as I know it's well researched. Alcohol and acid are fine together, it just suppresses the effect. LSD is a remarkably safe drug when it comes to interactions with other drugs. https://i.redd.it/172bxbtqvnl21.jpg
No interaction is not the same as "fine". See the post about the person who had a whole bottle of gin and some beers but didn't feel the booze until the next morning. A lethal alcohol dose is already dangerously easy to reach.

Or a bit of MDMA
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).
