Should you mix shrooms and alcohol?
It’s an age-old question that many people ask themselves when starting to experiment with psychedelics.
While there’s technically no right answer, in this article we’re going to dive into what it looks like when you combine shrooms and alcohol together.
Effects Of Mixing Shrooms And Alcohol
While the experience of combining magic mushrooms and alcohol vary between individuals, side effects can be extremely unpredictable.
Although users may still experience hallucinations from the magic mushrooms, mixing in alcohol can lead to feelings of discomfort, anxiety, impaired motor functions, and/or headaches.
Side effects of drinking alcohol while on shrooms can include:
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Faintness
- Hallucinations
- Headaches
- Panic attacks
- Anxiety
- Increased heart rate
- Loss of consciousness
- Seizures
- Increase body temperature
Before mixing magic mushrooms with alcohol, make sure to consider the potential downsides to the experience.
Risks Of Mixing Shrooms And Alcohol
People who combine shrooms and alcohol may experience a “bad trip.”
This refers to uncomfortable hallucinations and heightened feelings of anxiety.
Since alcohol impairs cognitive function, it can affect a mushroom trip by causing further disorientation for the individual.
According to Banyan Treatment Centers, this can leave the individual vulnerable and at risk of other dangers.
Can You Drink After Taking Mushrooms?
While you can drink alcohol after taking psychedelic mushrooms, we do not recommend it.
Psychedelics are a medicine that allow self healing, self love, and a deep dive into the subconscious.
It’s always best to take magic mushrooms after eating a clean diet leading up to your trip and also remain sober from other substances during your trip.
Plus, alcohol may prohibit you from having a “good trip” that may unlock new perspectives in your life. You should also never smoke shrooms.
