Blasting off isn't new to me, and I've never had a pre-blast off ritual, but I know many people do, so please share! What is that you do before you partake, and why? Anything you don't like to do before?

Not particularly a ritual, but I always prepare in generally the same way. Usually starts by changing into pyjama pants and comfortable socks & shirt, then I prep my bowl and lay everything out. I'll go to my launch area, set the lighting, sometimes light some incense, sit quietly cross-legged/lotus with the bong, meditate briefly overviewing my intentions, and just become very present. I find it's best to paint with a blank canvas - the canvas being my clear mind, and the paint being the journey I'm about to take. After this I'll take a few deep breaths to control my racing heart, and then proceed to become infinity

i just typically smudge the house with sage and thats it.
changa goes in the bonga and toke away

State my intentions, show my respect for all life, surrender to the light. All in your mind.

I wake up, shower, coffie, joint. Lill stretch, get some D&B on and i rip it up like a Jack Russel down a rabbit hole. Evenings, when you're tired, been drinking, got a whole load of stuff on your mind, meh...

also gives you the rest of the day to absorb everything that happens.

Molech thats exactly the routine i wish i had. I always feel way ready to jump into hyperspace in the morning but after work it seems like i gota do a lot of mental prep.
