Wonder if weed would help with the vascular constriction

Just a bit of vasoconstriction mate, get a blankey!

Vasoconstriction happens in response to the cold, it isn't a cause of being cold. Usually it's the body's way of reducing blood flow to the skin, which is where heat loss occurs. Vasodilation would encourage heat loss through the skin to help a person to cool down.

I'd expect vasoconstriction from LSD to make your extremities feel slightly colder, but not the core body temperature. If anything you should warm up!

But I've felt cold on LSD too. Only during the come up though.

I thought vasoconstriction in this case was in response to the LSD?

I don't think weed would be effective imo.

I've heard that magnesium glycinate helps. But I have yet to try it.  Picked some up recently so next trip will be the test.

It is but I'm saying the vasoconstriction from the LSD won't be making the person cold because of said reasons. Because the body uses vasoconstriction to conserve heat. LSD has caused vasoconstriction but it would still result in heat conservation. At least for the core body temperature.

And taking a vasodilator (mentioned above) for said reasons would only encourage the person to feel even more cold. Plus it isn't advisable to take a vasodilator with something that causes vasoconstriction/increases blood pressure as it can be bad for the heart, but then a lot of people do it with cocaine with no major problems.
