This is how my friend goes. I think smoking is the culprit in most cases regardless of whether it's herb or plain old baccy

Was going to start a new thread on this because this happened to me yesterday for the second time ever. But seeing as this thread has recently been resurrected, I'll post my account here;
My first time experiencing this was several years ago & was extremely unpleasant. Here's a detailed recount of that event: https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/25284329
Since then I've tripped countless more times on moderate to reasonably high doses. Usually mixing alcohol & cannabis in at some point. Both in isolated natural environments & crowded Built up environments. Sometimes being in restrictive situations similar to the one in my recount, like being made to sit down & wait, i.e. waiting rooms, getting a haircut, being on crowded public transport etc. with no problems whatsoever. I usually microdose about once or twice a week.
After work yesterday. I drunk a small bottle of malt liquor (42 grams of alcohol), shortly after proceeded to vaporize some cannabis flower. I decided to dose approximately a gram of dried shrooms about an hour or so after that seeing as it had been a few weeks since my last dose. I had a shower, went to get something to eat & made my way to a haircut appointment. I had drunk about a litre of half of water by that point of the day & hadn't skipped any meals.
Anyway this wasn't my first time getting a haircut while on mushrooms but this dose was higher than my usual go to. Still everything was fine. Besides being mildly uncomfortable due to being in a restricted situation while peaking I felt fine. I was listening to the conversations between the hairdressers & other customers & was appreciating the chill tune that was being played from the radio. At this point I was only a minute or two from finishing.
Next thing I notice the music seemed muffle, my vision was dimming, I was becoming increasingly nauseous & lightheaded in less than ten seconds I was turning very pale & was trying my hardest to keep my composure but to no avail. I lost consciousness for a few seconds. Coming to. I see that I've slumped forward from the chair, the hairdressers confirmed that I momentarily passed out they seated me on one of the couches & offered me some water. less than a minute later I attempted to sit on the barbers chair again and finish off the minute or so I had left. But the light-headedness & nausea seemed to be intensifying. So I asked if I could go sit on the bench outside & get some fresh air. they gave me another glass of water & with that I sat down for about 2 or three minutes focusing on my breathing to try & combat the nausea that was still present. I had a small chat to one of the customers who was leaving the store. about similar experiences in sudden drops of blood pressure. It was nice to know the level of concern they & the employees had for me. I had about 3 people offer me a ride home. To which I had to assure them I was fine & the short walk home would probably help get the blood pumping again. Feeling much better I finished my haircut & went on my way. I'm pretty certain that this was Reflex syncope of some sort.
The only parallels between these two experiences with this was that. There was a combination of Cannabis, Alcohol & Reasonably strong dose of Mushrooms on the come up or peak in my system & that I was in a restrictive environment both times.
Anyway just wanted to share this experience before it becomes a distant memory. Watch yourself when mixing these substances in even mildly stressful situations, keep up the blood sugar & stay hydrated & take it easy. sudden drops in blood pressure could happen to anyone unexpectedly.

I fainted two days ago after eating about 2 g (large single cap of PE). I was a little sleep deprived, probably dehydrated and hadn’t eaten much at all during the day, and ate it on basically an empty stomach. I smoked half a joint with my brother who took more than I did and was fine. then walked over to a picnic bench and fainted, apparently out for 4 minutes and wife got freaked out. She called 9-11 and they came and noticed my blood pressure was low initially, and took me to ER. I went but already knew when I woke up I was fine and didn’t need to go. But was curious about the cause and wanted to know if anything was noticeable medically, or any ramifications. They did some heart monitoring and everything was good. ekg, and later a scan of my head in the machine that spins, took my blood and urine. Everything was normal and they let me go after 2 hrs or so, only thing on my discharge papers said to cut down on my marijuana usage…I feel unaffected and if anything my brain feels better than before the event, much like any other time I’ve tripped (approx 50 times). I’m a healthy 38 yr old male in orange california. This is the second such episode, first time nobody knew about it and both times I was sitting and safe, happened within a couple mins of sitting down, after smoking a joint standing up, a half hr to hr after dosing, empty stomach, likely dehydrated. I told wife I’d take a break from tripping for a while but otherwise have a lot of confidence now that I can trip again without issues if i just eat and drink water beforehand.. and not smoke weed during the trip … especially the come up when I usually smoke to ease the nausea and anxiety / anticipation, and just let it ride..

Used to happen to me with cannabis. Only time on shrooms was after smoking cannabis. I get a vaso-vagal reaction that makes you feel faint or actually faint, sometimes accompanied by urgent BM. Its a sympathetic nervous system responsethat causes a drop in blood pressure. No blood in your brain, you faint.
Went on for years until I read about a technique that works for most kinds of feeling faint. Clech all the muscles in your legs and rear end as tightly as you can for a few seconds. Repeat. Voila.

Have you fainted on mushrooms alone, with no cannabis?

I get a vasovagal reaction from bee stings and shots/needles.
I recently read about that technique of clenching the leg muscles/curling up to help.
Since I last posted in this thread nearly 5 years ago, I still see threads on this topic pop up around here pretty regularly.
I fainted on mushrooms a couple months ago. It occurred towards the tail end of the trip. During the comedown I smoked a lot of hash and I was planning on having a sauna session. Shortly before heading into the sauna I felt my BP start to drop, long story short I ended up collapsing in the kitchen while trying to walk back to my room to lay down on my bed. I should have just sat down on the kitchen floor, I knew what was happening and thought I could make it the 15 feet or so back to my bed but I didn't lol.
When I finally did make it to my bed a couple minutes after fainting, still with very low BP, I felt like I was tripping very hard/intensely for a few minutes.

I have fainted twice from taking giant hot knifes of hash, never from shrooms. Didn't realize it was a thing.

Sometimes the come up can make me feel a little nauseous but the only time I’ve passed out was after eating a fresh 67.4 gram B+!!! One mushroom monster and went outside in the 100 degree weather lol …
Other than that one time no . If I dose on a empty stomach I get a little nauseous from time to time

Adding my 2 cents here. Had my 2nd trip about 3 weeks ago. First was 2.5, second was 3.5. All tidal wave. First trip, no issues, but the last one I feinted on the come up. I smoked my weed vape heavily both times, I tend to puff several times an hour regularly. I had it ground up in OJ each time, mix and dose without letting it sit. The only differences in the 2nd time were I made the mistake of watching Jack Ryan on the come up 🤦🏻♂️ I know, stupid, and I hadn’t eaten anything except a couple of burgers 8 hours before. The combo of no food, and torture scenes made me uncomfortable and I had to stand up, I took 5 steps and passed out. Fortunately I didn’t hurt myself bad, just twisted my ankle, but I freaked my wife out. It’s the biggest thing keeping me from trying again. I feel comfortable continuing to experiment, but the anxiety of freaking her out might mess up my set.

I've never passed out from mushrooms (or other psychedelics), but I did feel like I got close once or twice.
I've seen many, many people on here talk about passing out from mushrooms though, so it's very common.

Psilocybin raises your blood pressure and that can cause you to faint if it spikes quickly. If you feel dizzy right before fainting, that's a clear sign it's your BP. (Please note, the inverse is true too - if your BP tanks quickly, you'll pass out happened to me once 2 years ago when I was first on my BP medication; doctor had to lower the dose and it's been fine ever since.)
I hope this helps.
Peace & Light,

Ive lost consciousness 2xs but both from tea with lemon on higher doses. the interesting thing was both times it was a higher dose to compensate for tolerance build up, so it should have been a similar to lesser experience. instead it was black out. lost time, lost all consciousness, awareness of even how much time i was not with it when coming back. then the coming back from nothingness. rebuilding everything from basic emotions and senses to learning laguage, then thought loops until until getting it somewhat together. the last time it happened i was somewhat an observer, or a narrator, or detached...or third person to my life or the concept of life for the following 24-36 hrs. it was quite bizarre. it was a very interesting experience that was valuable and educational. however it was soooo challenging i can't say i'd ever seek it again on purpose.

I've also enjoyed endurance sports. i've run many marathons and more half marathons than i can count. as well as backpacking, climbing etc.
this however was a very different kind of physical challenge. more like black out and realize youre seizing when you start coming too. not something i will ever seek to repeat.

I recently went through a similar experience! I smoked a joint about 30 minutes after I ate some 🍄. I think I hit my peak, I felt like I was in tunnel vision, I stood up got super clammy and felt like I was going to throw up. I walked 3 feet and passed out thank god a pile of wood stopped my fall. I forgot to eat the whole day & wasn’t very hydrated. My friend that was tripping too freaked out and thought I was dead 💀. Good news it lasted 1-2 minutes, she handed me a ginger ale and I came to. I think my blood pressure got low and my sugar. Rules now- 1.don’t ever do it by yourself 2. Eat a lot of carbs! 3. Stay home

Mateja said: I hope people will describe their experiences in this thread, I couldn´t cover everything in the poll of course. Only what I know from experience. I´d like to know more from people that have fainted or know others that have. Please share your experiences.
Last weekend I took a larger dose of cubes ( 6 or 7g's total in 2 doses), And I actually had quite an amazing time with my gf. This was her 3rd time, but the first time she got significant visuals and actually "high" from them. We had decorated out bedroom a few blacklights and several blacklight tapestries, a galaxy projector ect. We put on some stand-up specials and just laid on the bed and laughed uncontrollably while staring into the tapestries for about 6hrs!
By myself I also went through a whole 24pk of whippits in that time frame, which are amazing for intensifying visuals! I also took a few small hits of a bowl towards the end.
We decided to call it a night and came downstairs to get ready for bed. I was feeling quite nauseous from all the shrooms I ate and also felt lightheaded, dizzy and flush. I was waiting for her to get out of the bathroom to try and go throw up and feeling like I could'nt stand anymore I sat in my computer chair and put my head between my legs. Progressively getting more light headed I passed out, fell forward and split my head open on the hardwood floor
So I cant say for sure that this is alone from the mushrooms and not the nitrous. In which I did hit those rather hard and held a few in way too long but finished em over an hour ago before this happened and felt fine until getting sick.
Was a great time though for sure. Just gonna make sure I bring a bucket and dpont have to come back downstairs the rest of the night next time and go easier on the nitrous!
I know this threads a few years old but I just wanted to share my experience

Yeah, One time ate 3.5 grams of cubes. After the peak, I smoked a 4gram blunt to the dome and about 3/4 of the way though I fainted/fell to the ground. Woke up immediately and threw up. My GF was not impressed lol.

A while back I took a little over 3g of Albino Penis Envy on an empty stomach. I had also done a few dabs. Soon after that, I was losing my balance on the way to the bathroom. I passed out there for a minute or two, then stumbled into my bed. While I was in bed, I shook and I felt jolts of electricity coursing through my body. I passed out again soon after that. Since then, I've decided to avoid any type of Penis Envy mushrooms, and also only use cannabis very sparingly while tripping. Ever since that happened, I'd been worried that mushrooms somehow gave me a seizure. I tend to twitch or shake slightly whenever I take mushrooms, and i've been getting anxious every time it happens, worried that it'll happen again. I've just learned about convulsive syncope. It seems more likely that that's what caused it, which is quite a relief.

3 grams of APES equals 6 grams trip, heroic dose. You are to blame buddy not the APES or dab.

I've passed/blacked out on acid, shrooms and DMT before. If I push it just that bit to far my brain just like... and the next thing I know I've skipped a bunch of time. Retarded stuff. I know my limits better these days.
