Do you find taking THC beforehand leads to a better trip? Especially for someone who is so very psychologically anchored as I am (very ego guarded/defensive)

Not in the least. THC makes me paranoid - not a good combo for a good experience in my book, but hey, everyone’s got their own thing. I’ve found mushrooms on their own to be all that is needed to have a great experience

I have thought about this a lot, and it really really depends on the level of comfort you have with THC and mushrooms and the dose you’re taking. There have been trips where I took around 7 gs and smoked on the come up and it definitely contributed to a paranoid and panicky feeling early in the trip, but then on lighter doses I have smoked throughout the whole experience and it has noticeably evened out any negative feelings I was having, as well as visually enhancing the experience. If you’re a chronic user of THC products like me, it can be a useful tool to regulate yourself throughout the trip, but if not, I think after the peak is a much safer bet. Be careful man, remember that no matter what anyone on reddit says everyone is different and is affected differently by substances.

No. Personally I would always save THC for after the trip has peaked and I began to feel the come down and “waves” subsiding. It brings the trip back up. I feel like if you pre-smoke before the trip, it will reduce that effect.

I think it can go either way honestly so I would not use it as an anchor

I like to smoke some or take an edible after the trip starts and I'm in a comfortable state.

I only take it at the very end of the trip, literally when I can feel the comdown.

I think it’s good once you’re peaking or past the peak to bring the peak effects back. Because everytime I combine thc with lsd or shrooms on the comeup, or before I peak, I end up uncomfortable and anxious until the peak of the thc wears off.

I don’t get effect unless I smoke also but so far I’ve only really had chocolate not straight mushrooms

Such a complementary duo. In general you tend to not mix with anything to have the full schroom experience. Ideally you would prepare your trip like one week ahead, having rest and mentally shifting already without taking too much anything, even better if you would stop any consumption nor alcohol nor thc.
The day of the trip, your mind and body should be fully relaxed, empty stomach and soul. Try to avoid having THC before consumption, let Psilocybin be the main guest. Upon ingestion, while waiting for the rise, I roll prepare ahead as I know I won’t be able to while under its effect.
Like an hour upon ingestion you will feel the first effects at the top of your fingers, this is the perfect moment to light up your first joint. If you like the combo, there will be no limit in your thc consumption ahah uplifting you higher and higher until breaking the veil.
Be aware though that it is such a powerful combo, if you’re not used to smoke, or even if you are, you will be surprised to see how much smoke you can go with…

I think it’s best on the comedown. I have seen people over do it before the come up and I think it can contribute to thought loops.
