Before we go into how to stop a trip, it is important to know what exactly a psychedelic trip is. A psychedelic trip is an intense experience in which your perception of reality is altered. It can involve hallucinations, distorted sensory perceptions and changes in thought patterns. Mushrooms and magic truffles are popular trip aids. While many people enjoy this experience, it can also be overwhelming and terrifying, especially if you don’t know how to handle it.

Follow these steps for a nice trip
The first thing you should do when you find yourself in a psychedelic trip is to accept that it is happening. Resisting the experience will only make it worse[1] . Try to reassure yourself and relax. Breathe deeply in and out and try to focus on your breathing. This will help lower your heart rate and calm your mind.
Also, ALWAYS make sure you are in a safe and familiar environment. Being in unfamiliar or crowded surroundings can make the trip worse[2] . Go to a place where you feel comfortable, such as your own home or room. Make sure it is quiet and peaceful so you can fully concentrate on controlling the trip.
If the trip does get too intense
If you find that the trip is getting too intense, it may help to change your environment. This could mean moving to a different room, putting on a different genre of music or adjusting the lighting. By making these small changes, you can distract your mind and reduce the intensity of the trip. It can be very reassuring to have someone with you during a psychedelic trip. Find a trusted friend or family member you trust and ask them to assist you.
It helps if this person is sober, as they can help you stay calm and guide you through the difficult moments. An effective way to stop or reduce a psychedelic trip is to bring yourself into the here and now. Focus your attention on your body and the environment around you. Feel the ground beneath your feet and concentrate on your senses. This will help you to step out of your own train of thought and regain awareness of reality.
Tripstopper pills
If the above tips don’t help, you can always take a trip stopper. These pills consist of valerian and dextrose, two substances known for their calming and energy-boosting properties[3] . Valerian is an herb often used to reduce the effects of anxiety and stress. Dextrose, on the other hand, is a sugar that can boost your energy levels and keep your mind alert. Taking trip-stopper pills can help reduce the intensity of your trip. They can calm you down and allow you to gain more control over your thoughts and emotions during the trip.
