Can I shorten an LSD trip?

I've been tripping on LSD or mushrooms about once a month for the past year and a half. I consider myself fairly experienced, so I would like to take my exploration to the next level (level five, specifically). I intend to do so with LSD, but there's just one main issue that makes me hesitant. The last two times I experienced LSD were absolutely wonderful for the first 10 hours, but by the time I reached the 14th hour and was still tripping hard, I just wanted it to stop. Regardless, I made sure not to fight it and I kept myself calm, but it was still unpleasant. My brain felt physically hot and tired. I was just frazzled and overstimulated and very ready to be sober again. Eventually, both times, I fell asleep around hour 15, so it's anyone's guess as to how long I would have continued to trip. I'd really like to know if there is a way to shorten an LSD trip naturally (that is, without Benzodiazepines). I don't know if it matters, but I'm a small 19 year old girl. Mushroom trips last about 10 hours for me, and acid lasts 15 hours or more. Meanwhile, my boyfriend often comes down completely after just 8 hours. He would like to know how to make trips last longer, by the way. Long story short, I want to know how to come down more quickly without impacting the intensity of the trip because, as I said, I would still like to reach level 5. Please let me know if you have an idea, or have experienced EXTRA long acid trips, or if you have any advice on how to handle them.
Also worth mentioning: I feel like it's possible that I have a very slow metabolism. I rarely feel hungry and I eat about 3x slower than most people, yet I still get full very quickly. I'm 5'1 and 105 pounds.

It all depends on my dose really. The more I take the faster the come up the longer the trip. The less I take the longer it takes to come up and the length of the trip isn't as long. I tend to take 2-3 hits normally which if I take it around 7pm ill be tripping till 2-3am and by that I'm I pass out hard afterwards and usually get good sleep.

Acid lasting 14 hours? For me (and according to erowid) it lasts at most 12 hours. Hell even for me (a very lightweight, 6'2" 110 lbs. And someone who gets spun the fuck out on weak ass doses) The last 4 almost 6 hours are barely even tripping. More like mild difficulty focusing my eyes and shit.
Are you sure it's L? Whats it taste like?
As for mushrooms, their done after 8 hours for me. After that it's impossible for me to stay awake. I go out HARD after a shroom trip. Hell i don't even feel like I'm awake while I'm on them. More like a fever dream without the fever.
All this said the most you can really do to shorten it is take a benzo on a light dose of acid when your ready to quit. Even then it won't stop the trip. I guess you could take any sort of sleep medication to knock yourself out at the end. But then you run the risk of psychadelic dreaming which can be either the greatest or craziest thing you'll ever experience.

No, there's no way to shorten the trip silly. I'd love to find a way also because I pretty much never take LSD this for this reason. It just takes too much out of me to trip for that long.
There are some herbs you can take to make things a little easier, but the LSD overpowers them for the most part. But I have found valerian helpful on the come down, it wont kill the trip but it can help you relax your mind a little. Same goes for mulungu bark. Kratom can help relax you relax also but becareful because kratom is addictive.

I am sure that it's acid. Both of those times were just one tab, 200 ug. Of everyone I know who have tried the same thing, I'm the only one who trips for so long :/ Psychedelic dreaming...that sounds interesting. I may have experienced that. I was standing on the outside of a spaceship and I looked over the "edge" into infinity. It was actually incredibly intimidating.

That's what I figured :/ oh well. Thanks for the tips, I'm sure I'll try some of those and also just learn to deal with it.

I dunno why people doubt LSD can last that long. First of all, it's hard to pinpoint when exactly you "stop tripping", secondly it varies a based on dosage.
But LSD definitely lasts 14 hours for me, actually it lasts a lot longer than 14 hours but the main trip is over then and I move into the comedown/afterglow phase. I've definitely had real LSD before and it always lasts a super long time to the point where when I tell people they always claim it wasnt LSD because "LSD doesn't last that long".
But it does, or at least can for some people. Just because you fall into the same grouping with most people where it lasts however long, doesn't mean there isnt a group of more sensitive people for whom it lasts far longer. But see, our experiences don't get factored in to the average because every time someone hears about us they think its not LSD.
Almost every drug I take lasts longer than it is supposed to. For example, I recently tried GHB which erwoid says lasts 5 hours (and I think that is including after effects but they say after effects are 2-4 hours so even if we add on the after effects that would be 9 hours total).
Well, I recently tried GHB and I could still feel it after 27 hours. I made a thread online asking about it and people told me it was normal/not that unusual either.
So it kinda sucks because whenever I read how long erowid says something lasts, I find I have to usually triple it in order to have any idea how long it will last for me.

I actually agree with you and see where you are coming from. I've seen alot of shroomery users say it can't last that long. A big part of the issue I think, is just a misconception of defining the "trip" and the "afterglow". Of course, dosage matters as well. Off of 600ug, try going for a drive 14 hours after dropping, then go somewhere that involves interacting with people. You may be able to drive safely, if you are a good driver. I can almost guarantee it won't feel quite normal though. It will feel like you're floating down the road, and have to concentrate more to control the vehicle. Unless you're naturally a little social butterfly and I'm not, I bet you will feel awkward socializing with others as well. I think this is even more apparent, if it's been a long time since you last tripped, before your dose.
Now, I can totally see how some people would consider that 14 hour mark an afterglow. You are def not normal though. Now consider taking some kind of massive dose, like 5x 600ug. Your afterglow will be even more intense, and people will notice in public you are abnormal, at the 14 hr+ mark. I also believe your pupils will still be dilated, quite a bit.
Taking all of this into consideration, and that the dictionary doesn't have a definition for the lsd afterglow, it's actually hard to define how long lsd lasts.
People also say shrooms can't last more than 8 hours. While I somewhat agree, on a solid size dose of shrooms, I don't feel quite normal at the 10 hour mark sometimes. The "afterglow" (which I know shrooms don't have apparently, but I'm saying they do), doesn't last long. I feel myself coming to complete sobriety much quicker on mushrooms.
It's interesting that your bf is eating the exact same dosages as you, and experiencing different lengths of effects. I would be interested if this really could be a sensitivity, that varies from person to person. It could just be that you are more in tune with your body, or he ignores light psychedelic effects.
edit: I didn't even vote btw. I feel like the effects from lsd last over 15 hours. I'm not going to vote though, because I would probably call that the "afterglow" and not "trip". It's hard to define how long an lsd trip lasts of unknown dosage, and unknown definition of a "trip" and "afterglow".

Yep I just wonder what could cause my sensitivity. I would say that I'm definitely still tripping at 14 hours. When I close my eyes I still lose track of where I am in space, I still hear a lot of strange sound distortions and patterns are vivid. My thoughts continue to race and I definitely would struggle to have a conversation. It's exhausting to be in that state for so long.

Look into a chemical analog of LSD called AL-LAD it has 6-8 hour effects

Around 12 hours. I said 12-15 just because of residual stimulation and inability to sleep etc. I can usually sleep by hour 15.

LSD is fun for me for about 7-8 hours then after that the visuals are pretty much gone and I start feeling burnt out or get a headache. Really want to find something longer lasting again. DOC was great. A solid 24~ hours of visuals.
Never had a shroom trip last longer than 4 hours myself either. Wish I could get 8 hours out of them as someone previously stated. Feels much longer but I'm usually back to normal by the 4th hour.

I've slept about 5-6hrs into a trip a couple times, what I personally do is lay down on my stomach and lay my head on both my arms right where my eyes are so I physically cannot open my eyes. I learned this from taking amphetamines, it still takes a second though. At first your mind will still Be racing at full speed, but after 7-10 minutes of laying down and putting you face either against a pillow or your arms and you will start to almost lucid dream. When I trip and fall asleep I always wake up early though, like I will fall asleep at 2-3am and wake up at 9am and the next night is when I catch up completely on sleep! Try it out!!
Or take 1-2mg alprazolam depending on your familiarity with benzos, this helps ALOT though, I personally don't like taking benzos while on L because it dulls the trip down ---- *everything stated above is purely fictional*

The stimulated part is not "the trip"...only the first 5-6 hours....nobody actually tripping at 15 hours on acid

Generally a good dose of LSD will last up to 10 hours for me. Ive had trips that have been 14+ hours. Depends on how much you take really. Atleast for me thats the case.

Maybe but I've noticed for shrooms a lot of people (usually around hour 4 or 5) will think they're sober simply because they're no longer being mindfucked and they've forgotten what being sober is like.
I know several people that claim to only feel shrooms or be effected by them for 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 hours even though they're still tripping they just don't realize it.

The mind can easily trick ya into thinking youre sober when youre still twisted. Happens to me on acid every time.
