Best to consume shrooms on an empty stomach or not?

I've read of people passing out while on shrooms, possibly from blood pressure changes, and I've read where some people go a while without eating before taking them, like 24 hours. At 24 hours the body is into a fast state, and the blood pressure drops to conserve energy.
Is it best to partake in the mushroom a couple hours after a meal, or wait longer?

A six hour fast is suggested.

I dont eat much 10h before taking it. Didnt have problems and the best part is that it gets more intense if you eat nothing before taking them. IF YOU DIET 24h and only drink water, its gonna hit you stronger than ther people 4 sure !

I've tried multiple ways, I've fasted 24+ hrs, 12hrs, 6hrs, 3hrs. I've taken them immediately after a meal I have found that all you really need is an empty stomach to get the most out of them. Abstaining from food 2-3 hours before you dose should be sufficient.

I guess it might be a preference thing. I always eat before a trip because I hate getting hungry in the middle of a trip, and trying to cook while peaking isn't to much fun.
Some people don't like to eat because they say it makes them more nauseous during the come up\trip but I've tried not eating for several hours before hand and eating 30 minutes before hand and the nauseous is about the same either way I'm just not hungry mid-trip if I eat before hand.

I think the best way to go is to eat an hour and a half before. If you don't eat, you get too hungry and if you eat right before it slows down absorption.

If you're worried about low blood pressure/sugar you could always drink some fruit juice or something after consuming the mushrooms.
I just make sure my stomach is empty, you could fast for a day or 2 but 4-6 hours really should be more than enough.

In my experience a fast of 12 hours is usually necessary, otherwise I become way to nauseous and will usually purge too early, only having gotten some of the desired alkaloids out. For blood sugar issues, I drink them down with some orange juice and keep some more handy for the next couple hours, by which point I can eat some fruit if I really feel it necessary.

eat just a little lighter than you normally would. if you fast you will feel shitty and weak during your trip.

Well, seems to be the best way of doing it is to eat a small meal a few hours before and drink some juice with the mushies. Thanks everyone!
