I heard people talking about fasting before taking DMT.
Do you do this? And why?

I don't typically "fast" before using dmt. (freebase) but I woudnt blast off right after eating. Simply because I have a nervous stomach as it is, I figure I'd have less of a chance of getting an upset stomach from pre-flight anxiety if I didn't have a stomach full of food.

I've had IBS my whole life, and food is my constant enemy/necessity. I'm usually uncomfortable after eating, but what I've noticed is that it can be about as bad as it gets for me in terms of stomach pain/discomfort, but when I smoke DMT, it's like hitting the reset button. I don't think it's merely an anesthetic effect either. It seems to make my digestion significantly more efficient. So I've stopped caring more and more how long it's been since I've eaten when I go to smoke.

About a year ago i started fasting once a month, and notice the benefits in my self control and you do feel very lucid and fresh after a fasting.

First time was just 12hours with no food, now i do one day of only fruit and water followed by one day with no food or water maybe a little water if feel like it.

And i have fasted twice now before a DMT ceremony and both times were very colorful very bright, more colorful than usual, but i am unsure if this is exactly due to the fasting yet.

I tried fasting and did it before smoking DMT because after fasting your body has much less salts and food stuff flowing around the system and the body is much fresher and more relaxed.

As after 12 hours of no food the body starts to break down the minerals and food it has stored in the liver, This store of energy is not naturally cycled and it is for this reason that it is good to fast regularly to clear the body of deep residue.

The body is constantly digesting food mostly this action is the main operation in the body and else gets pushed down the list of things to do, so the digestive system is getting a constant workout, it is good to fast so the body can have a rest and focus on deep cleaning for a change.

I feel the DMT sets in easier and faster and with more psychedelic potency after even only 12 hours fasting, one day i will have my own knowledge on this topic but i will still keep testing.

Thanks for the responses peeps!

Just always wondered why. But it maybe boils down to being able to stomach the food while launch. Kinda like movement in a of a car while you are reading. But then there is the feeling of cleansing.

Thanks again!

If you intend to transition as fast as possible, usually eating beforehand won't have a negative effect.

The first time I broke through, I had just eaten quite a substantial meal. Throughout the trip I had the feeling that I really needed to poo, and urinate - really badly (but it was controllable(and somewhat hilarious)). It made the trip really interesting .

These days, fasting is recommended as I've noticed that vaporizing will lead to a gradual entrance into hyperspace.
It can be quite uncomfortable if you've eaten.

HOWEVER! Don't fast to the point where you feel like you're insatiably hungry. Those trips can be nightmarish.

Be safe! AND: "DON'T PANIC."

I fasted before my first ever experiences, but don't feel the need these days. I don't journey with a full stomach how ever, as I do sometimes get nausea while in hyperspace, and have vomited on myself during a journey before

As said, enough food to keep you content, but not a full stomach as that may be uncomfortable. I find I nearly always need a big pee after a session though for some reason
