L Theanine + Shrooms, Tips?

[Fearless_Bum]

Anyone ever tried this combination? 

The vasoconstriction from psychedelics and the increased heart rate is a bit uncomfortable, it's certainly tolerable but it'd be nice to mitigate that.

I'm thinking of mixing it with L theanine to see if it creates a more calmer/mindful trip. 

The trip would be tomorrow morning, approx 4g of shrooms and 200mg of L Theanine.

On the comedown I'm gonna have some cacao brew ?.

I take Lions Mane with all my trips, especially LSD. I sometimes take L-theanine before going to sleep: after a long LSD trip (for me, can last up to 12-14hrs) and I have noticed the trip becoming calmer and more peaceful. But I have never tried taking it in the middle of the peak. Or in the beginning of a trip. Gonna try next time. Took my last capsule of L-theanine this morning. Time to restock
Also, Lions Mane + Psilocybin + Vitamin D3 (Niacin)  is supposedly a great and successful stack. (Source)

Maybe a bit of a sidenote: Stacking Lions Mane + L-Theanine + Ashwagandha capsulse, are the best non-psychedelic stack. (for me)
Take all 3 and you be in a zen state for meditation for the next 6 hours. Its so peaceful and calm.

@Vincent S at the tail end of the trip (like 5-6 hours in) I'll be drinking some cacao brew mixed with a blend of 6 medicinal mushrooms including lions mane, I don't wanna take too much in the beginning lol. 

Oh man I'm excited! Will be my last trip for a while.

I defo done stuff like that. I was acting like a medicine man, or a shaman for a while ?.  
Cacao brew sounds nice though. Does it have caffeine? Because I'm really sensitive  to caffeine. Cup of coffee, and I'm awake for 24 hrs.

@Vincent S cacao is a bit different compared to coffee. It has about 40-70mg of caffeine per serving but it is even more abundant in Theobromine which is like caffeines chill cousin. 

Theobromine provides a more mellow buzz and actually lowers blood pressure. So, a stimulant that calms the body ?. Although too much can create similar side effects to coffee.  

I think you'd have a better experience with cacao brew compared to coffee. I'd try 2 tablespoons of raw cacao powder mixed with hot water at first. 

Also, nice! Have a great trip.

Will buy some, next time I go grocery shopping. Thanks for the advice ???

@Vincent S no problem! I love suggesting health stuff to people. 

If it helps I use the Navitas Brand Raw Cacao powder (make sure it's cacao and NOT cocoa!)

I don’t think we have that brand in Sweden. But I’ll have a look online.

I wouldn’t have known the difference, lol. Thanks for pointing that out  ?

@Fearless_Bum good luck! Can you create a trip report after your trip?:)

[Fearless_Bum]

I've done this myself and it absolutely works; this combination was made for each other, especially if you want something to take the edge off that's meditative in nature. I actually took 400mg which has a more acute anxiety release if taken all at once that works awesomely during the come up. The quieting of my mind also made for a more non-dual experience as I was losing all distinctions between things. 

I definitely think it's more beneficial for the mind overall too. 

I've never combined it with LSD but I would imagine it would impact it no where near as much as with shrooms.
