It is not uncommon for people to consume psilocybin mushrooms with other drugs to create an amplified psychedelic effect. The most common combinations are psilocybin mushrooms and MDMA, known as a hippie flip1; psilocybin mushrooms, MDMA, and LSD, colloquially called a Jedi flip2; psilocybin mushrooms and cannabis.
Before kicking your mushroom journey up a notch with other substances, it is helpful to ensure that your physical space, psychological and emotional well-being (set and setting) are in a good place.
It is not recommended to consume multiple substances at once if you are new to psychedelics. Always start low and go slow. If you find yourself reacting positively to individual substances, you can then slowly work your way up to these combinations.
Hippie Flipping: Psilocybin and MDMA
The hippie flip – combining MDMA and psilocybin mushrooms – is considered a blissful combination by some due to the theory that MDMA helps keep a mushroom experience positive. If you plan to hippie flip, there are a few important harm reduction techniques that may help protect your physical safety and psychological well-being during the experience.
It’s not recommended to ingest MDMA and psilocybin at the same time, especially if you have limited experience with either substance. While some people choose to hippie flip this way and enjoy it, keep in mind that the effects of both substances will peak at roughly the same time, which can be overwhelming. It’s recommended to take one substance first and wait until the effects appear before taking the other compound.
Also, consider the dosages of each substance. You may take dosages of equivalent potencies, or measure them so that one substance will be felt more intensely than the other. This will lead to a different kind of experience, depending on which substance you consume more of.
Jedi Flipping: Psilocybin, MDMA, and LSD
The Jedi flip is a combination of psilocybin mushrooms, MDMA, and LSD. Jedi flipping can produce an unpredictable and euphoric psychedelic experience. MDMA is known to generate feelings of euphoria, while LSD and psilocybin can inspire long-lasting visual hallucinations or pleasant dissociative effects. MDMA, mushrooms, and LSD can all influence mood, while also inspiring deeply mystical and spiritual experiences.
Like hippie flipping, if you take all three substances at once, you’ll likely have an extremely intense come up, or moment when all the drugs kick in. It’s recommended to stagger your doses a bit, especially if you take full doses of each drug. Alternatively, you may opt to take smaller doses of each drug and ingest them at (or around) the same time. Dosage matters a lot here, and a little can go a long way. When in doubt, underdose and measure carefully.
Psilocybin and Cannabis
Combining psilocybin mushrooms and cannabis is extremely common among people who enjoy both substances. It’s also significantly more mellow than the aforementioned drug combinations. When you consume cannabis while on psilocybin mushrooms, it can enhance or intensify the effects of the mushrooms.
