===Combination effects===
===Combination effects===
*'''[[Cannabis]]''' - Cannabis can immensely intensify the sensory and cognitive effects of LSA. Extreme caution is advised when mixing these substances as it can significantly increase the chances of a negative psychological reaction like [[anxiety]], [[confusion]] and [[psychosis]]. Those who use this combination are advised to start off with only a fraction of their usual cannabis dose and take long breaks between hits in order to avoid a negative reaction.

*'''[[Dissociatives]]''' - Dissociatives greatly enhance the cognitive, visuals and general hallucinatory effects of LSA. Dissociative-induced [[Visual_disconnection#Holes.2C_spaces_and_voids|holes, spaces, and voids]] while under the influence of LSA have significantly more vivid visuals than dissociatives alone, as well as more intense [[internal hallucinations]] and correspondingly increased risk of [[confusion]], [[delusions]] and [[psychosis]].

*'''[[Alcohol]]''' - Alcohol's central depressant effects can be used to reduce some of the anxiety and tension produced by LSA. However, alcohol can cause [[dehydration]], [[nausea]] and [[physical fatigue]] which can significantly worsen the experience. If using alcohol, it is advised to pace oneself and drink just a fraction of the usual amount.

*'''[[Benzodiazepines]]''' - Depending on the dose, benzodiazepines can slightly to completely reduce the intensity of the cognitive, physical and visual effects of an LSA trip. They are very efficient at stopping [[bad trip|"bad trips"]] at the cost of amnesia and reduced trip intensity. Caution is advised when acquiring them for this purpose as they are very easy to abuse.

*'''[[Tramadol]]''' - Tramadol lowers the seizure threshold<ref>Talaie, H., Panahandeh, R., Fayaznouri, M. R., Asadi, Z., & Abdollahi, M. (2009). Dose-independent occurrence of seizure with tramadol.

*'''[[Stimulants]]''' - Stimulants affect many parts of the brain. Combined with psychedelics, stimulation can turn into uncontrollable [[anxiety]], [[Panic attacks|panic]], [[thought loops]] and [[paranoia]]. This interaction may cause elevated risk of psychosis.{{citation needed}}

It is advised to take caution when combining [[MAOI]]s with psychedelics because they can increase the chance of having a [[bad trip]] and may [[MAOI#Interactions|dangerously interact]] with other substances, such as [[SSRIs]] and [[stimulants]], as well as some psychedelics such as [[MDA]].
