How long is a trip?

Answer 1

It depends which substance you're referring to. A psychedelic trip can last anywhere from 30 seconds to 24 hours depending on the substance. Duration of a trip is dependent on the individual (body weight, previous experience, gender, etc.) and the dose. Some well known psychedelics and their approximate duration include: LSD-lasting anywhere from 7-14 hours; Mushrooms (shrooms, mushies, psilocybin)-3-8 hours. 2cb-4-8 hours; Mescaline (active ingredient in peyote, and san pedro cacti)-8-16 hours depending on dose and method of ingestion. DXM (robitussin, cough syrup)-3-8 hours; Salvia Divinorum-5-30 minutes, Nitrous oxide (n20, whippets, laughing gas)-20 seconds-2 minutes. MDMA (ecstasy, molly, beans, rolls)-3-5 hours, depending on method of ingestion and dose, DMT-6-30 minutes, ketamine-35-60 minutes, pcp-4-6 hours, THC (marijuana, weed, pot, bud)- 1-4 hours (smoked) or 4-10 hours when eaten. Keep in mind that even after the amount of time stated, many psychedelics leave the user with an "afterglow," the feeling where one is mostly sober, but still feels different. Afterglows can last from a few minutes to a few dozen hours, depending on the substance and the amount take. Keep in mind that psychedelics (and all other drugs) should only be used by a mature, responsible adult for the purpose of spiritual or mental growth ONLY, not simply to get high. Always know your dose, and make sure to be in a mindset of well-being, and in a relaxed, comfortable, familiar place while tripping with somebody sober to babysit you in case something goes wrong. good luck and happy tripping :)
