It can be scary for a friend to try a drug for the first time. Here are some things you can say to keep your friend calm while they’re using psychedelics.
“Don’t worry, this will only last 8-12 hours.” — Are they having a bad time? Remind them that this won’t last forever, but they’ll definitely be unhappy for a while.
“Should I let the frogs in? They’re waiting.” — Frogs are a weird concept even when you’re sober.
“There are bugs in your skin.” — Bugs bugs bugs bugs bugs let them out!
“Billy Mays is here to talk to you about Oxiclean.” — Nothing like the stain-fighting power of Oxiclean to keep your spirits high.

“My face is melting again, I’ll be right back.” — This will keep them calm. This is probably something they are actually seeing.
“None of us like you and I’ve been sleeping with your Uncle Rodney behind the Chili’s on every full moon” — Rodney’s just got something really special I can’t explain it.
