Hello I'm a new member. And a new tripper.
1. these are trustworthy mushies, gold caps. did them a week ago and tripped for the first time. i took a cut, and was at what this site calls a level 3ish-4 trip. it was amazing. I see the world different now.
2. a year ago he had a stroke, but it only changed his personality and gave him restless leg syndrome.
3. he just wants to know its safe to take them (half cut), that it wont cause brain damage or another stroke. he's on some meds, sleep (clonazepam/klonopin) blood thinner (aspirin), blood pressure (plavix, aceon). (I'm prescribed klonopin for anxiety and it didn't affect my trip, i took my night dose 2 hours before the trip/tripped for 5-6 hours)
4. He's done LSD in the past, 40 some years ago (college), but still, this may be irrelevant, or not.
Thank you in advance for any input.

I think with his medication it might not be that safe.. I really dont know myself, but I would do a lot of research before giving him any psychedelic again.

My concerns would be his blood pressure and potential for panic attack... Mushrooms can constrict or dilate blood vessels...
Does he want to do mushrooms?
I would make sure he is in a good place really... Hate to have him freak out, feel he is dying and cause such a panic attack it actually harms him. Set and setting....
I suppose the only one who can say is your dad. I would say there is a risk, higher than for a healthy person... But how high is the risk and is he willing to take it... Don't know
Peace and good health

He'll be fine. Dose up.

Depends on the dose i think. Im not sure what a "cut" is but i assume its an 8th? Id give him less than a half a 8th like .5-1gs. That way he can see if there is any interaction with his meds.

I had a stroke and feel totally confident the shrooms or LSD will not cause another. Cocaine/meth/even MDMA i wouldn't mess with though.
