The effects of GABAminergic drugs on trips?

I feel that the few times that I have used GHB along with tryptamines/mushrooms, the trips end up being much better. Do you guys feel that GABA drugs would block some of the insight/spiritual clarity of a trip?
What is your experience in this area?

when I mix kava with mescaline the mescaline cancels out the kava and I dont even feel the effect of the kava.

During the period I was using LSD most heavily (college days) I used to drink heavily on LSD fairly often. I rarely felt it affected the trip very much, and then as soon as I came down I suddenly felt all the alcohol. I enjoyed it.

Well then this indicates my good trips were generally good trips. The GHB must have a sort of placebo?
Most online information on this topic indicates exactly what you said

I would guess that even though you don't necessarily overtly notice the effects, they still affect your trip. So, I'd imagine the anxiolytic effects of alcohol or GHB are still present, you just don't notice them because the effects of the psychedelics are so dominant.

Thats probably more accurate. Either way, I presume it would have a nice way of reducing negative emotions during the trip

Yeah, the tea is great. I use 2 to 4 grams of dried leaves (bought online) but usually stick with 2 or 3 grams. For freshly dried leaves though (like if you were harvesting from a garden) then 1 to 2 grams would probably be alright. But yeah, Lemon Balm does pretty well ime.
