Stacking niacin with psychedelics?

[Ruffles]

Can anyone share experiences with the so-called Stamets stack of psilocybin, lion's mane and flushing niacin? Just a marketing push or is there something special to it?

The "niacin flushing pushes chems into brain hypothesis" is of interest. Has anyone explored any other psychedelic with nacin?

If Stamets is right, all sorts of Dee Em Tees would benefit from this...

No experience with niacin, but i do know that lion's mane potentiates psychedelics

I have but I dunno what to say. Do you like niacin on its own? I don’t mind the flush in minor doses.

My wife tried 1/4 of a niacin pill and was extremely sick. She flushed super hard and vomited a few times and won’t ever touch it again.

I don’t remember the doses of these but they were just regular niacin from the supermarket. One pill is very uncomfortable and I think my blood pressure went too low.

I dunno about niacin. I am undecided.

I haven't tried it. It's interesting that in the 50s Abraham Hoffer believed (and supposedly found in a study that failed to replicate) niacin megadoses to be effective to stop an LSD trip.
