do you bless your drugs before you trip?

I recently started blessing my psychedelics before tripping but i was reading about Maria Sabina, the famous mexican mushroom lady and she said the mushrooms must be taken to a church and blessed before the Holy Spirit before they can be used. So last night I took the mushrooms to my church and blessed them before the Holy Spirit. It will be interesting to see if I get a better trip now.

That sounds cool. Probably no actual effects from that though IMO
But since you know that they are blessed maybe it will be even better for you!

We all know tripping is about set and setting, preflight rituals are part of that.

Not always, but I do try to. Back when was into spreading the Light I would meditate & pray over each batch of L I received before I sold/handed any of it out.

I used to, but I never noticed a difference. I do meditate briefly before taking any psychedelic.

Well I don't know what the effects will be, but I trust that Maria Sabina knew a lot more about the spiritual aspect of mushrooms than I do. So if she says they must be taken to a church, I will take them to a church.

Drugs that are put in the booty should be blessed. It's the least you can do to comfort them.
But hey, it's all in your head, and since that's where the drugs are going, only do it if you need to do it.. but you don't need to do it, unless you do. You know?

I don't bless but I make sure to thank mother nature for giving me the beautiful treats. And like others have said, meditate on them. Think about
their life and the process up to the point of eating them. Mother nature provides us with plenty treats if ya open your eyes and are thankful!

Nah, for me personally religion/religious rituals of any nature pollutes or steers the experience. I feel like even sacrament for the universe at large is the same. Personal emotionally based conjecture used to satisfy the ego to achieve a feeling of understanding/acceptance/explanation. I like to clear my mind and drift thru the experience at hand.

I did this a couple summers ago when I was obsessed with weed. Eventually realized how weird it was. Although I probably should have done something of the sort before I took my last lsd trip.. because it felt pretty unholy. Haven't touched a psych since.

I have high respect for whatever I'm doing (usually DMT, Amanita Muscaria mushrooms, or LSA). I surrender myself in a sense and I whisper to my DMT what it is that I'm trying to look for (I've asked it to prove to me that the afterlife is real, I asked to meet an entity, and I've asked what I should do with my life). I'd like to note that even though I surrender myself to it, I find it equally important to embrace it with courage ready to dive in as far as you can possibly go. Sort of like jumping off a cliff.
I'm not sure I would say I bless it though.

I've heard of people doing it
I think it's cool. Especially if it's mushrooms that you grew yourself
But I personally have never done it
Maybe next time

I do prey to bless my trip and that it may be a wonderful one. I prey to bless my lsd and i think of my intentions for the trip. What i would like to get out of it. I believe thoughts create our reality on some higher level. so it makes sense to me that if im creating my reality and using something as special as lsd that im able to manifest what im seeking.

I'm curious, what did it answer?
I'm reminded of that story by McKenna where he tells he asked the mushroom (IIRC) if he was doing the right thing with his life? And the shroom answered: "What the F kind of question is that? Get your act together! If you're into that kind of questions, take MDMA!"
Not trying to make fun of you, of course. Just a little curious...
