Hours 0.5 - 1.5

You've ingested your desired amount of turffles, what happens next?

The sensation you usually feel are an average your brain creates based on past knowledge, this average calculation is diffused so you might feel both hot and cold in different places in your body, tingling and some confusion is normal as your brain adjusts to this new state.

Your stomach has the same HT2A receptors that your brain has so it too can get confused. Some nausea and needing to go to the restroom often is common in the first hour or so.

Hours 1.5 - 4.0

This is when the previous knowledge stored in your brain is most diffused and sensory input creates the most surprise and novel experiences. You might be very sensitive to too much sound/light/input so take it easy on yourself and get to know what feels good. Having tools that help you control sensory input can be really helpful like sunglasses, ear plugs or ear phones, a hoodie. 

Your brain is more like the brain of a young child so be a caring self parent and make sure you have everything you need for your basic needs for water, food, warmth and safety. 

Changing small things like the music, lighting, eating a small snack or even just moving to a new location can help you navigate the trip. The less light you have the stronger the visuals will become as your brain has more freedom to guess what the darkness is. If things get too intense a great tip is to get your body moving or dancing. Your motor cortex has less 5ht2a receptors than other parts of your brain.

Hour 4.0 - +

New research shows that your brain stays in an extra plastic state potentially even days after tripping and that integration practices like journaling, drawing and talking to trusted others and including professional therapists can help people make some healthy long term changes.

It’s very important to get enough sleep after a trip. It can take some time to fall asleep sometimes so make sure you clear your calendar for the next day.
