Does anyone else feel the need to fast (four hours or so) before vaping spice? it really seems to have become a " thing " to me. it is extremely uncomfortable for me to throw up while blasting off, especially while smoking Changa, because of the harmine. just curious.

100%

This became an accepted thing for me a long time ago. I’m super sensitive to nausea with spice, so it goes better with an empty belly.

Though, I once puked after blasting off, and when I pulled my head outta the bucket, there was a jester face grinning at me in my puke.

Hello entuthevoid

I think its vital to not eat before the experience.
Its described in the faq section.
Besides discomfort it can also become dangerous.

I never wanted to share this because its so emberassing but maybe it helps someone who reads this
in the future.

i had the glorious idea to eat eggs and bacon and top it off with a big hit of Dimi.
I usually sit on a pillow in my bathroom because its the only place i am undisturbed.
So everything was normal at the start but without any warning i just started to projectile vomit
all over me while being pretty much paralyzed. I was crying like a baby while my bellyacid was
eating away on my throat. I never felt that much guilt and i never felt that stupid.
The lesson was learned.
It was pathetic. Just imagine if i would have died like that.
I have alot to learn and that is why i am taking a break right now till i get the call again.

Making the whole thing into a ritual with fasting and good intent is the way to go.

I would really like to contribute to this wonderful forum but i guess i´m the idiot
that makes mistakes so others don´t make em.

Ehem have agud one or sth.

and don´t judge me i´m still learning

No judgement. A couple weeks ago I was planning on fasting. Hadn’t eaten for a few hours, made dinner for kids. Chicken nuggets. I ate a few without thinking cuz I was hungry and they were there. Well I went to smoke later and after 20 minutes, I coughed on a hit and then projectiled those few nuggets all over my lap and bed. I find particularly “fake” food like that is what does it. If I ate something healthy it doesn’t seem as bad.

Yeah, i feel it's important to not smoke with a full stomach, and i usually do it alone, so taking any precaution i can is probably a good idea.

It's kind of funny, i guess, but this is one of the things preventing me from partaking. During lock down, the thing that's given me the most pleasure is cooking and eating. I'm a very small framed person and am intentionally trying to put on some weight. It's working, and my diet is balanced and full if fresh food, i eat very little processed foods. All the same, i think it's doing something to my blood sugar though because i don't seem to be able to go a long period without eating without feeling dizzy...

So, I'm finding it difficult to get to that place of six hours fasting, I'm afraid that i would experience some hypoglycemia and that wouldn't be fun at all. As soon as my PCP begins accepting non emergency appointments, I'm going to get some tests.

Yes i think its worse with that kind of food.

The spice did funny things to my habits lately. I love eating meat but i
want to try being vegan and eating ital stuff since my last trip.

If i am on any psycedelic alot of stuff i normally eat feels like poison
afterwards.
I remember when i did my first extraction i read so much about the precautions you have to take.
And then one year later i´m disrespectful enough to smoke after lunch

And one thing null 24: If you want to gain weight eat a pack of peanuts every day after dinner
Worked for me. I always had the same weight all my life. A friend recommended that and i
gained 12 kilos that i transformed into muscles with not too much effort.

I hope everybody has a great day with even better food

See ya

Oh! Always feel the need to go full Shaman mode, fasting, putting myself into a trance to the edge of tears to the most beautiful epiphanies, fasting really does put you into an altered state of consciousness and even if feel like eating it's always something on the 'light' side of things- whatever the squirrels in the backyard eat, mangoes, watermelons, these nuts etc etc. Always staying away from processed stuff though, especially if it got Jalapenos in it though- Or else it would just be the regurgitation going through Hyperspace right all over the walls and not you haha!
