Tripping while fasting

[ASquishyApple]

Search isn't working for me sorry if this is a commonly made post.

I was planning on fasting for a day then smoking some super dank weed later tonight but I may be getting acid or shrooms instead in the next couple hours.

So I was wondering what you guys think about tripping while fasting. I've only tripped on 4-aco-dmt before. Should I go ahead and eat something now so that its mostly digested by the time i trip or would i be fine if i continued fasting?

continue fasting

why?

i'm just curious as to why i should pick one over the other

i'm not concerned so much about the food slowing the absorption cuz i've never really had a problem with that when eating light which is what I would do if i did go ahead and eat. I'm just concerned that tripping on a completely empty stomach might be nauseating or uncomfortable in another way.

Although I am not sure specifically about shrooms and LSD - because I haven't tried them, generally tripping on full stomach is more likely to make you nauseated rather than tripping on empty. That's why people tend to take psychedelics on empty stomach.

Also, you can always eat during the trip if you want to

i never ever ever trip on empty stomach, i take 'em opiates that way though cause it really changes the intensity and fastens the onset. Also the nausea is something to take into account, but think about this: you're getting nasty outsider shit into your body. The least you can do for it is have it well rested, well hydrated, and plenty of energy.
Please don't take this as advise to fill yourself up with food before tripping cause that aint good. A light meal is always the way to go-.

^i concur. tripping on a totally empty stomach is a recipe for disaster if your body is accustomed to receiving nutrition on a 3-6 hour schedule. keep snacks available in case you need a sugar boost or hydration (water on an empty stomach doesn't stick around for long)

huh???? Take Max's advice.Light meal before...It will be hours when youll eat again once you drop, & your not gonna eat while tripping, at lest IME

lsd gives me severe hunger pains when ive already ate that day, let alone if im fasting that is just pure stupidity.

I wouldnt dream of doing LSD while im fasting thats just asking for trouble, I find LSD amplifies what ever your feeling by a million and considering I used to eat 10,000 calories a day I am always hungry even when ive just eaten so taking acid makes me feel rediculously hungry.

I'll fast for a day sometimes 8 hours, unless I'm taking psys in the morning. Will usually shower and tidy up a bit beforehand if I'm indoors - just common practice for me, makes me feel more prepared and relaxed knowing I'm in comfortable surroundings. I prefer an empty stomach, as I only usually eat what I need - hunger always attacks around the come down. Either way just keep fruit and juice handy, s'all you need to keep ya' going. If you feel nausea just get a pack of ginger beers and some bud

Get some strawberries for the trip. There's nothing like biting in to a juicy soft fruit while plateauing, the sensations burst through you with rapturous appreciation. Also, a little sweet can be nice as well; lemon meringue pie can make you insane.

What's wrong? I tripped on empty stomach as well as on full. Doing normal doses of psychedelics is alright for both cases, but I prefer to trip on empty stomach.
And I never had problems with eating after comeup. Of course, appettite can be suppressed, but food can be eaten and enjoyed.

Anyhow, I think that OP made his decision already.

If I'm tripping in the day/morning, I wouldn't eat from when I get up until a few hours into the trip. I'd make a bigger deal out of this if it was mushrooms but I do the same with acid.

 

[ASquishyApple]

i ended up eating a bowl of ramen about 2 hrs before i dropped 2 hits of some pretty good acid.

it was my first acid experience and was incredible. i did enjoy an apple sometime on the come up. and ended up eating a meal towards the end of the trip but i guess i ate too much or too fast or just because i hadn't eaten much at all that day because i ended up getting the stomach cramps i was used to back when i had 4-aco-dmt and tripped all the time after breakfast. i wish i had thought to try tripping without eating breakfast back then.

^It could be vasoconstriction from the acid. You can feel it in your stomach, and it does get more noticeable towards the end of a trip.

Having no food/moving nutrients in the system seems to promote the potential for bodyload effects. I prefer to do whatever is in my power to a void those effects so I usually will have a small meal a few hours before hand.

if I ever get the chance to do oral DMT as that's something to be held in the same light.

Oral DMT is a bit of a strange one. You often need to eat a little something like buttered toast to help the DMT kick in. If you're fasting you can sit there for an hour with nothing happening.

Acid gives me such an irritating gut feeling when coming down, those who I trip with tend to just call it gut rot as it's something everyone is familiar with these days.

I think this is a situation where you want to do what feels comfortable to be as comfortable as possible during the trip. I am used to fasting and only take psychedelics on a completely empty stomach as the trip feels much cleaner to me. I experience the feeling of not having eaten in a while more as feeling empty inside than feeling the need to eat. Or at the very least can differentiate between having an empty stomach and my body needing food for energy. If you aren't used to this going without food could very easily sour your trip as you notice the hunger pangs.

With respect to safety I would also be very careful taking any drugs after having fasted for extended periods of time as they can be quite draining on your body so you might want to have your energy levels up. Tripping on an empty digestive system is great if you don't find the state uncomfortable but tripping while low on energy from lack of food is another matter.
