– How do “trip stoppers” for weed/mushrooms work?

611 viewsBiologyOther

We went to Amsterdam two years ago and found a “trip stopper” in a shop. According to its package, it could be used for trips caused by weed and magic mushrooms.

Since that day I have been wondering, how this might work and if it would have some side effects if one used it.

Thank you ☀️

If it’s sold in a “smart shop” in amsterdam it will be some sort of caffeine and vitamin mix.

However, there are certain drugs that can function as de facto trip stoppers. They do not stop the effects entirely but dull them.

In the case of weed, sugar or food in general, reduces the effects of weed if you get too high.

Lsd & Mushrooms. The two target the same receptors and are very similar. Once again, food will diminish the effects slightly, but many use benzodiazepines as for many it stops the trip headspace. Cannabis is a hit and miss. For some it grounds them and others it makes the trip harder. Antipsychotics could also stop a trip as it blocks the receptors that these psychedelics target.

Stimulants – both benzodiazepines and antipsychotics (in particular seroquel) are used for trip killing. Benzodiazepines dull the high and are often used alongside a stimulant and as a sleep aide post trip. Antipsychotics like seroquel block dopamine and their sedative effects can make you sleep almost instantly
