5-htp and zoomers?

#750211 - 07/16/02 06:25 AM (21 years, 2 months ago)

I was wondering if anybody know's if it is possible to mix 5-htp and mushrooms and safely trip. I have read a large amount of this site as well as www.erowid.com ( another fabulous website!) and have found nothing regarding the consumption of 5-htp with mushrooms. If anyone could steer me in the right direction it would be very appreciated. Thanks

It's my understanding that not only would the mix be safe but actually a benefit.
5-HTP preloading just adds the immediate precusor to serotonin (5-HT) into the brain. 5-HTP can cross the blood brain barrier, 5-HT cannot. So then your brain has a lesser limiting factor in terms of 5-HT production.
Psilocin binds to various 5-HT receptors and causes an EXTREMELY LOCALIZED release of 5-HT on those neurons it binds to.
Generally the more 5-HT released the more intense the trip.
So if you reduce the 5-HT precursor limiting factor (by 5-HTP preloading) then in theory more 5-HT will be produced and thus be avail for release.
Trip duration will be the same. Trip intensity is the only thing that would be increased.
Your milage will definately vary.
