7 Day Fast with 10 grams of Mushrooms
    #16375478 - 06/13/12 09:54 AM (11 years, 7 months ago)

Hey I'm new to the Shroomery, literally just created this account, but I've always refered to past posts on this site when I need some help, hopefully you guys can help me out here!!!

I am planning on setting up a tent about 5 miles from any roads/houses/civilization out in some woods of a friend of mine, and stay there for 7 days, consuming nothing but water. I live in Texas, and the day temp easily rises above 90 degrees, so it would be quite a lot of water (10-15 gallons).

I plan to bring some school books and novels to entertain myself, but would these be of any use? Will I be able to retain all the information I study while I'm not eating? I have a major test 3 days after my fast, which is why I'm asking.

Will I be able to exercise (just walking around) during the fast?

I will bring about a quarter of dro and 10 grams of fungi out there with me. I would like to have just TWO trips, on 5 grams each. When do you think I should take these? On the first, and the last day?

By the way, this will be my FIRST fast.

All I will have out there is my guitar, a couple pairs of basketball shorts, my glasses, the bud and shrooms, and the water. Can anyone give me any advice on this matter? Am I going about it all wrong?

I've just got quite a bit of shit to figure out. My last trip was on 7gs, about 3 months ago, and my house got robbed the day before the trip, and like a dumbass, I still took the trip I had planned for for weeks, and, of course, I had THE WORST trip, and I've been in a nasty psychosis/ neurosis since. I have still been able to stay on top academically and financially, but I haven't been genuinely happy in a long time. At this point, I'm prepared to go ALL OUT spiritually, and I figured tripping during a fast miles and miles from civilization would be ideal. Your opinion?

I would highly recommend holding off on this fast/trip UNTIL you take that major test you have coming up. It just seems like the smart thing to do in my opinion :shrug:

Alright for sure, I'll do that, thanks! I may bring some novels to read while I'm out there, or Archaic Revival, I've been meaning to break into it. Well, thanks azul! If anyone else has any other advise, please don't hesitate to fill me in!!!

Well my feeling is that fasts are taxing, heavy trips can be taxing and stress is definitely taxing.

I say stress since no matter how far you run away from society, you're still going to carry the thought of that upcoming major you have.

Personally I would wait until you have that finished. I would also consider bringing some vegetables and perhaps rice or something like that as you're not going to feel reinvigorated and inspired from something that leaves you completely drained. You can choose not to eat the food but I think it would be wise to bring it along so there's the option.

Novels are a good idea, if you play music too you could bring an instrument :smile2: . I haven't read Archaic Revival but if you're looking for a good and accessible book on spirituality I personally love 'Be Here Now'.

I'm no big knower of all things - I do fast a day or two so that my stomach empties and my colon is a little clearer before ingestion. It helps me not have physical confusion, different things going on at the same time and laying the foundation for a stressful time.

Okay, awesome! I agree birdland, fasting seems quite stressful, and a week will be quite a bit longer than I'd like to stand. I've heard Be Here Now is an amazing novel! My father has a copy and has been urging me to read it for some time now, this seems like a brilliant opportunity. I think you've got the right idea, Ahma, just a couple days may be the way to go, but my original idea of a week may be too much, and DRAINED is most definitely not what I want to be during a 5 gram trip! The end of this month, after my final is complete, sounds like a safe bet. Thank you guys for the input! The Shroomery seems like an awesome community, I've no doubt I'll be posting again soon!

The most I have fasted was 4 days but that was with no water.

7 days is too much. Maybe try 2 or 3 days first but drink water. You should consider maybe drinking a few ounces of peppermint tea with honey in the middle to keep your kidneys happy.

When you are done you should be careful and not eat too fast. I would recommend eating melons. Watermelon is great.

4 days without water? I'm led to believe one's ability to reason and use logic (and therefore ability to safely re-hydrate) can be completely lost by 3 days without water. How did you feel at day 4? I don't think fasting traditionally includes abstinence from water. Water is more than anything else YOU.

How I felt is hard to explain but close to death kind of sums it up.
Now I always say thankyou to water when I drink it and I try not to spill it or throw it around.

I am SURE there is a connection between water,air, and mushies. Next time you have a batch, in the midst of the intensity, just for the rush,take 3-4 nice deep breaths and watch what happens. Also,close your eyes, take a deep breath, and put your hand into some water.Water,Oxygen,and Mushies=another trinity.

Hey OP, I'm curious where the Mckenna quote in your signature is from. I looked it up but haven't had any results. Thanks in advance!

Love and Light

OK, it's 10 years later - did you take your trip to the wilderness and what was the result ?

Just a friendly PSA that reviving old threads like this is mostly moot and generally subject to friendly mockery.

If you take a look a little further under the OPs icon you can see he hasn’t even been seen on this site in over 10 years.

Welcome to the shroomery, though, it’s a great community.

Think it is a great idea if you prepare your body for it and hydrate.  Really Covid ended the lives of so many obese people if your diet before was good go for it or don't.  Up to you. 

Going without food is easy for a long time. Well 7 days but that was my goal so when I met it I ate, very small portions to readjust my lab that is my body.  Water, just no, have to have it.  So get the pure kind that doesn't have flouride and chlorine in it.  And enjoy your experience. 

Unasked for advice.  Though I do have enough wisdom to know it will be life changing, for anyone.  I would do it but being in a cell and endless probation and fines I HAVE THE FEAR as I live in Utah and how Burroughs wrote about it when he sensed the paranoia from a person he was hanging out with in his hotel rented long term. 

Best in your life and what you challenge yourself to.  No judgements.  Where I live I would do it with you if legal just can't be in a cage anymore.  But I have that willpower and know what it would bring to me in my life.  Just afraid.  I don't do well in confined places let alone the fines and probation. 

Fuck them.  Yet, can't get rid of the fear.  Educated guess is you live in a place where there isn't that.  Long story but, I think you know what you are doing and sense it.  Best in your wisdom gaining and adventures.

If only the world would learn to fear what matters in life and what you are doing is not it.

Just got back from L.A. and a Dr. Phil show.  Block away a woman on the sidewalk wailing away and all types of frantic movement and a crack pipe next to her burnt.  The world really doesn't give a shit.  Glad you are choosing a better path in life.

Endless times on the PCT up and down mountains.  Takes a lot longer than flat land.  Miles are easier.  Point being I just want to experience without fear besides what it brings to me during the experience but I think I could get through it easily. 

Is just frustrating to me that you get to have this experience that I want and instead it is k-pins and alcohol.  Anything to dull my mind from thinking and my mind goes fast. 

Hope you enjoy it and may, with all the elections coming up, may we be free as a world to put whatever we want into our bodies without the threat of a cell and fines and probation.  Just envious.  Because I can do that as well and want to.  Is frustrating.  Yet a lot of people are working on changing that.
