[Solved] How much time between coffee and a psychedelics session?

The general advice is to stop consuming caffeine 24 hours before a psychedelic session. At the very least, it is better not to drink stimulants such as coffee on the day of your psychedelic therapy.

The reason for this time limit is manifold:

1. Neurophysiological calm: Caffeine remains active in your system for 6 to 8 hours, but its breakdown and influence on your nervous system can take up to 24 hours. By avoiding coffee for 24 hours, you ensure that your brain is in a relaxed, receptive state for introspection.

2. Avoiding overstimulation: Psilocybin, LSD, and MDMA all stimulate the central nervous system in their own way. Caffeine can amplify this, causing unnecessary restlessness, increased heart rate, or tension—which can disrupt the therapeutic process.

3. Improving the set and setting: A calm mind contributes to an optimal inner journey. By avoiding caffeine, you reduce the risk of physical restlessness or mental hyperactivity.

4. Optimal preparation according to the Triptherapie protocol: During the preparation for a session, you also receive lifestyle advice in which foods such as caffeine, alcohol, heavy sugars, and certain supplements are temporarily discouraged. This is part of the holistic Triptherapie journey, in which both neurochemistry and mental focus are optimized for a profound experience.
