Tripping with a cold

Hey, I have been planning an LSD trip for a few weeks now and I am supposed drop some tomorrow. This will be my first trip and I have been looking forward to it for a while.
This week I happened to catch a pretty bad cold. I've had this horrible cough for a few days but it seems that it is finally starting to subside today. Should I still go on with my trip tomorrow evening even though I will most likely still have a bit of a cough and be feeling a little under the weather?
I believe I saw the title of a post similar to this earlier this week and I have been looking for the post and can't seem to find it. Sorry if this question has just been answered.

I would put it off for next weekend, unless you somehow feel totally fine tomorrow.

Just take some robotussin, or a cough suppressant. I've tripped while sick before, wasn't bad at all. If you think it'll make the trip less enjoyable then put it off, otherwise trip away

I ate an oz of fresh mushrooms with a dirty cold.
I was fine, but I had this cheap little pack of tissues in my pocket that I my mother gave me, and it brought up some weird thoughts about cost-cutting and how this cheap little pack of tissues tried to look expensive.... (at this point in time I was at my mates house, and his dad is some sort of property developer who is a millionare =/)
The cold itself didn't affect the trip, apart from blowing my nose was weird :P

I ate about 4 grams dried with bronchitis. I was as miserable as anyone can possibly be. Unless your feeling better, I would put it off.

i have tripped while being sick before... it was alright.. i really hate being sick and i like to try to get better at all coasts so i personally wouldn't do it .. but that just me.. i don't think you will run into any serious problems.... i would maybe suggest dosing earlier so you don't have to stay up till like 7:30 in the a.m. that will defiantly make you sicker... maybe do a day trip so you can get rest... just a suggestion

hes only got a cold, its not like hes got aids or something... just keep some tissues near by cause a runny nose is quite irritating..

Actually, others may tell you that you will be alright, and chances are that you will, as long as you don't have a fever, i have tripped a couple of times when i had a cold (runny nose) and i was fine, other than blowing your nose every 10 min. gets annoying, you are alright. But if you have a fever it drives you nuts, as these drugs ARE hard on your body (nothing dangerous mind you) but they are hard on you, and if your body can't handle it, you will be miserable until you come down, then you will be fine. I tripped when i had a fever once it was only 101.5 or something like that, but it was getting to me, i was burning up, and i felt like shit the entire time...i kept checking my temp and it was going up just slightly, about a degree or so, but it was freaky..so i will never do it again. I was really close to calling the ambulance to come get me..
I do not want to discourage you, or put any bad thoughts in your head, but just want you to make an educated decision as i didn't. Also it was on shrooms, not acid, but i have tripped acid a bunch with a cold (again it was just a cough and runny nose) and i was fine, but every since then i can not trip mushrooms if i EVEN THINK i have a cold...it was scary shit..
I hope this will help your decision. Happy trips!

Dude... like a week ago i had a bad cold so i stayed home. And i am like what the heck and made my self 2.5 g mushroom tea. Within 30 minutes i lost all my symptoms of cold (especially headache) for 6 hours!
I actually didn't trip couple of times when i was sick cuz i thought it might make it worse. This time i just wanted to give it a try.. and i guess i learned something.
Peace. Take care man. I think you be fine.
Edit: Different substances might work differently so still be carefull.

I never eat mushrooms when I have a cold. I get extreme slime formation in my throat, which really bothers the experience. Afterwards I did feel pretty cleaned up though, probably hadn't a grain of slime left in my body
