Cannabis
Cannabis significantly intensifies and can unpredictably alter an LSD trip. Many experienced users report that smoking cannabis during a trip — especially during the comedown — can rapidly intensify visuals, thought loops, and anxiety. This combination is a common cause of challenging psychedelic experiences. Low doses of cannabis are generally manageable but high doses can trigger panic, paranoia, and thought loops that feel inescapable.
