If I take a benzo like Xanax, how long before I can trip on shrooms?

So, I'm not familiar with benzos and don't take them, but my friend has taken a Xanax within the last 48 hours and wants to trip on some cubes I gave him as a gift.
How long should he wait, if at all, before being able to have a proper trip?
Xanax is a benzo, right?

I wouldn't mix the two but mixing benzos and psychedelics seem to be the big rave now a days, SMH... Why mix a highly addictive psychotropic med with mushrooms, I'll never understand... God I stopped visiting g this forum for years and it's crazy what people are doing... If you get plagued by anxiety from shrooms and need xanax go to therapy and stop doing drugs... These drugs were by no means tested to see what mixing does to your brain... IDK

I don't recommend it either but it has its place. You can trip during and after benzos. It takes away from the experience quite a bit unless you take lets say, 1 mg of xanax(the wonderful commercial benzo "name" that should cost less than 10% of what it does). There are much stronger benzos that are almost free by comparison. I would recommend having them around for various reasons. Like if you want to trip harder than you ever have but are not willing to do it without a gaba agonist.
My best trips involved 1 mg or two of a benzo. The other trips without benzos were just as good, but were more difficult for sure.
I once filled my brain with so much lsz that I could hardly see, but because I was on 1 mg etizolam it was absolutely astonishing and peaceful. Benzos are good, if you are careful with them. They are quite good with psychedelics. Very little is lost, and if anything it accentuates just as much, especially if you take more of whatever psychedelic.
So you use it with things it can be used with. Unlike psychedelics which require an maoi. That would probably be stupid for example.

Alprazolam has a really short half life, he'll be fine.
I'd agree they can be really nice for large doses of most psychedelics. For instance I'm not crazy about taking DOM/DOC at a really recreational dose without a bit of diazepam or clonazepam these days. Really makes the stimmy edge bearable. LSD too, though they can take away a bit of the 'magic' (which I don't get very often anyway because I dose too frequently).

Also one should be very careful with the "lams". Those are really deadly if used daily/weekly. They are too good and can land people in a very bad place when they are misused. Clonazolam for example is so cheap, potent and long lasting that it is inherently dangerous.
Benzos are fucked, but totally fine when a person doesn't abuse them. Good times, and with psychedelics too. Misuse one with a short half-life even, yer gonna be sorry.
I wouldn't touch that shit more than once a month. People take half a mg of xanax as a sleep med... AAAAAaaand those doctors have no idea what they are doing. It is sick how bad benzos really are, considering how great they feel.

48 hours is way more than enough time as Xanax has a short half life.

If it's been 48 hours he's definitely fine.

I mean I've taken a Xanax bar like an hour before a LSD trip and noticed no dulling effects or any health type concerns. People are so against it here but I used to take a bar all the time for the LSD comeup and never really thought "oh damn, I really lessened that trip with that benzo" but maybe I'm different

I think they're pretty worthless recreationally and functionally, at least clonazolam and flubromazolam. They just make me feel dopey and stoned, not really anxiolytic like the majority of Rx benzos. Good for sleep though. And definitely blackout city if you take too much without huge tolerance.

Hmm well I never actually tried it myself but it seems to be pretty consistent in medical emergencies (even though that's usually valium) but still. Maybe it's just the order in which it's taken but xanax always felt like a dulling drug to me so I always figured it made sense that it would kill a psychedelic trip which to me feels like the opposite of dull. I guess I'll never know until I try it myself. I've just always felt benzos kind of 'close the mind' in a way.

I don't do the benzo method anymore as I've come to accept the come up anxiety as part of the whole... But it never closed me off or dulled the mental or visual aspact of LSD it just relaxed me and had a huge anxiolytic effect for the come up anxiety that LSD gives.
There may be something to your theory on order of ingestion as a bar before the trip had no fulling effect but a bar towards the end for the comedown made it stop almost immediately.

Yes I think taking LSD after other drugs can sort of sober you up in a way. It's like a mind clarifier. A squeegee in your third eye.
edit: and I don't mean sober you up completely I mean just sober you up from whatever drug you were on before hand.

If you want a proper full effects trip i'd wait about 5 days to 7 days. I have taken various pills, benzos, etc then tried to trip a day or two days later and I got a very low level trip and was super frustrated. They were good potency as i'd previously tripped on the same batch and tripped on the same batch later and both of those were epic. The longer you can hold off on the trip the better the results will be. Expect a weaker or more reduced type of trip experience if you can't wait and force a trip so soon after taking meds.

I've taken benzo's for months and dosed and still had strong effects.
I've been on benzo's while dosed and still had strong effects.
Maybe slightly diminished but never has it completely stopped me from tripping.

I take xanax and mushrooms together on the regular. It's my preferred way to trip on mushrooms. It's a great combo if you haven't tried it

Shrooms and benzos is amazing, the most relaxing trip you will ever have, no anxiety, no confusing thoughts, no thought loops, no obsessive thoughts, no fear, it allows you to go very deep into the 4th dimension without freaking out.

yeah you are fine it has a short half-life just dont mix them it would be a waste of mushrooms for sure. 4 years ago I remember taking 2 bar tablets of alprazolam (xanax) then thinking it would be a good idea to take an eighth of shrooms, lol... I dont remember anything and I was probably acting a fool the whole time, blacked out tho and wasted that eighth.. learned from that experience tho. I could see maybe using 1-2mg to come down from a really intense trip maybe depending on your tolerance and experience with alprazolam (xanax) which yes is a benzo. My doc prescribed them to me when i was 17 without even asking her to and it kinda fucked me up for a year.
