Sorry if these are dumb question but I am a complete noob when it comes to LSD and MDMA. Really only smoked pot before.
1. Is it ok to take my normal meds while on LSD or MDMA?
2. Is there anything I should not mix with these? Pot, alcohol,ect?

LSD is remarkably safe, and MDMA is *relatively* safe in most contexts. Depending on what your regular medications are, you may want to cease taking them for a bit beforehand. There are less contraindications with LSD, but with MDMA, you should /definitely/ not take it if you are on any MAOI medications--it would put you at a higher risk for serotonin syndrome (no fun). Take at least a week off MAOIs before dosing MDMA. It would probably be wise to stop taking amphetamines (like Adderall) for at least a few days before MDMA, which is an amphetamine itself. I would also suggest avoiding SSRI medications for at least a few days before MDMA. There is little/no risk associated with this combination (as far as I have found), but it can heavily weaken the experience.
As far as what to "mix" with the experience, a lot of people (myself included) find cannabis to be nice with LSD, and a great complement to the come-down on MDMA (can kind of distract from the main MDMA experience, though). Keep in mind that smoking weed while on LSD (and most psychedelics) will generally make the experience more intense. If you are past the peak and are starting to come down, oftentimes smoking a bowl will jettison you back to the peak again. This can be good or bad, depending on what you want.
I generally avoid mixing most other chemicals when rolling or tripping, simply because there's already enough going on for me. Alcohol can be satisfying after either experience, but I usually find I don't get much out of it--not much buzz, just a little relaxation. A benzo can be nice after a heavy roll, to help you relax and fall asleep.
More "intense" combinations include taking MDMA and LSD at the same time ("candyflipping") (or MDMA and mushrooms ["hippyflipping"], or many other variations of psychedelics and other chemicals). I recommend getting to know these chemicals individually before mixing and matching. They can create something very different than the sum of their parts.

Don't drink beer when you're high on MDMA. It'll make you 'sober' in a matter of minutes.
I have absolutely no clue how, or why, it works but my experience is that it just does.
Drinking some beers beforehand tho seems to be fine, don't overdo it because else you will get a big black hole in your memory ;)

I disagree about the beer. When I was in college I got pretty drunk at the bar one night and took a roll and it worked for me just fine. In fact, when my gf or I are drunk it's usually when we decide to roll and don't have any problem feeling the effects for the same amount of time as when we are sober.
Like appa said, avoid maio medications while rolling and I want to add don't do benzos while tripping. I have a few buddies on them and they can never get a good trip unless they lay off them for a few days. Even though I have never had a bad trip, I like to keep a few on hand just in case.

what meds are you on? i wouldn't recommend drinking... but weed always potentiates a trip in my experience.
