Hippie Flip
Co-use of 3,4-Methylenedioxy methamphetamine (MDMA) with psilocybin / magic mushrooms is termed hippie flipping. It is thought that by combining MDMA with psilocybin this may reduce challenging experiences and enhances positive experiences associated with the medicine. Some evidence points [1]to the use of low dose MDMA (50–75 mg) with psilocybin associates with significantly lower levels of total challenging experience.
It is thought that the standard initial dose of MDMA (120mg) should be taken, 60 minutes prior to taking a 3g psilocybin dose. This ensures that the MDMA takes effect before the psilocybin which primes the trip to be less challenging[1]. This is then followed at 90 minutes by a 60 mg dose of MDMA to ensure that the shorter in duration MDMA effects do not wear off before the end of the 4 hour psilocybin trip.
