“Would you like to make that a combo?” 

We’re not talking about large fries and drinks (this time, anyway).

Mixed with a second compound of your choice for your next molly (MDMA) night out, it’s usually called a flip, with the most popular being a ‘hippie flip‘ (also spelled ‘hippy flip‘), or a ‘candy flip.’

But what exactly is a hippie flip? How is candy flipping different? And what do you need to know to ensure your flip isn’t a flop? ShroomsDelivered has the answer!

What is a Hippie Flip?

A hippie flip consists of both psilocybin mushrooms, or magic mushrooms, and MDMA. It marries the profound, emotional, and thoughtful qualities of mushrooms with the warm, social, pleasant qualities of MDMA. So, you get a trip that’s half funny, half thoughtful, half human.

Pros:

• Combines the best of both worlds: mushrooms’ journey and MDMA’s feel-good glow
• MDMA can smooth out anxiety or unease that mushrooms might bring on
• Encourages closeness, emotional honesty, and genuine connection

Cons:

• Can get emotionally intense if you’re not in the right headspace.
• Timing doses can be tricky — too close together may cause nausea or overstimulation

A Hippie Flip is Perfect For:

Candle-light, cozy nights with your buddies around or near you: envision a friend’s sofa with great music, a peaceful evening in a log cabin with candles or a nice out-of-doors spot to just chat, laugh, or surf undisturbed.

What is a Candy Flip?

Candy flips consist of LSD and MDMA. LSD provides visuals, openness, or a transformation in perceptions, while MDMA provides love, understanding, or euphoria, as well as high energies. This mixture of drugs is widely preferred during festivals as it has immense potential to turn a musical or lighting event at a club or rave into a euphoric experience.

Think less introspective than the hippie flip, and often far more social and sensory.

Pros:

• Powerful visuals paired with an intense sense of joy and love
• MDMA helps soften LSD’s anxiety or intensity, keeping the trip more positive
• Easier on the stomach than mushrooms, which some find a plus

Cons:

• Physically stimulating; you’ll need to hydrate, rest, and make sure you can regulate your temperature if needed
• The visuals and sensory load can become overwhelming in chaotic environments.
• Post-trip fatigue or an emotional crash (“comedown”) is common the next day

A Candy Flip is Perfect For:

Festivals, raves, or house parties with good music and people you trust — the kind of nights where the bass hits just right, lights blur into colour trails, and everyone feels like old friends.

Hippie Flip vs. Candy Flip

Why Pick One Over the Other?

If your ideal evening involves being with close friends, having deep conversations, or just laughter, then your best cocktail would be a Hippie Flip, which revolves around personal connection, feeling close, or feeling that warmness. 

If, on the other hand, your trip is more about high-energy environments, sound boom, and group euphoria, candy flip gets your back. This candy flip comes with a bigger, more impactful trip – it’s just not for everyone. 

One pulls you in, whereas the other pulls you out. They both could be amazing, but it’s a matter of figuring out what your environment and mood is best suited for.
