The Big & Dandy 'Age and Psychedelics' thread

[cosmic charlie]

LSD at 14 years old . I took two SPiderman blotters and had one of the most powerful experiences of my life. It started me down this glorious path that I still walk on today :D

 

[kaosisallwesee]

16 savlia 60x 1/4g but my first proper experiance i can remember was in 'dam when i was 17 on 35g (fresh) of mexican cubensis

 

[jamaica0535]

yea, you heard it right folks
age of first effective psychedelic experience as well as substance and perhaps synopsis.

I will post back later. I'm too stoned to possibly remember this genius thread if i don't create it now

LSD
Age 16

It was the most life changing thing i have ever experienced. I thought i had some grasp on what to expect from the reading about the chemical but in the end it was nothing like i expected but more than i could have ever dreamed. The euphoria i felt broke through any happiness or euphoria i had ever felt, i was so happy i believed that you had to go over the edge of sanity and reason to ever experience that level of joy... Thousands and thousands of thoughts were racing through my head, i felt like i had all the answers to life's questions...

Before the trip i would say that i wasn't really happy with my life, since i had started smoking weed my depression had let up slightly but it was still there... During that trip something clicked in my brain, i realized i should be happy to just be alive, life is wonderful and i should enjoy every part of it. Since that day almost 2 years ago this happiness and view on life has not changed. I am happy, and can be happy without drugs in my life.

LSD at 17. I took a quarter tab of blotter that was laid at 250 mics a hit to celebrate the millennium. The second time I took a full tab, and sometimes I think I'm still on that trip...

15 - LSA's, but really, I think the first REAL psychedelic experience was mushrooms, also at 15. That trip changed me forever, I believe... in a good way.

Similar story here. I experimented a bit with morning glory seeds and salvia at age 18, but I consider my first mushroom trip at age 19 to be the first experience that left a lasting effect on me.

 

[Bella Figura]

30g of fresh mushrooms at 16 was my first true psychedelic experience.

I'd gotten almost psychedelic highs with weed before that, but nothing as mindblowing as a full on trip.

Followed by LSD at 17/18

 

[Bob Loblaw]

2C-B age 16, dxm trips not included, although they were certainly psychedelic. I posted a TR on it.

 

[superelephant]

LSD, one hit. I was 17. It was strong. Stayed the night at my friends house and had to go to school the next day. Dosed around 11:30 and stayed up all night. I kinda got freaked out I think from the lack of sleep.

AHhh talking about this makes me want to trip again. It's been too long.

My first real trip was at the age of 18 at Bonnaroo 2005. I had been smoking weed since I was 14 and tried DXM a few time during high school. I ate mushrooms one time at a basketball game but they must have been bunk. So it is around 7:30 on Friday I think and Dave Matthews is playing and as anybody who has been to a Fest with Dave knows, no one else plays during his time slot. I figured, this was as good as any time to try some mushrooms as if I do have a bad time, at least I will miss a show I don't care about. I ate 3.5 grams on a piece of pizza. I remember starting to feel them, and just laughing. I couldn't stop laughing. It was pretty wild being in a crowd of like 60,000 people for my first come up on shrooms. We stayed for about half of the show, and even mushrooms weren't making Dave good, besides the lights. We started walking back in a huge pack of people and we all hit this patch of mud at the same time, and it felt unreal. Everyone started laughing hysterically when we all hit the mud. Great first trip.

18, 4g dried mush. I had tried LSA & salvia prior but didn't get the desired effects. I took the boomers in my basement one night when I had a sprained ankle and wanted something to do. The decision to do 4g came after I tried a half eighth and nothing really happened... I wound up buying a slice, but I only had 2 20s and the price was 35 so the dude threw in extra weight. Tripping at home with my parents around was a classic mistake, however the trip was certainly immersing. In retrospect it was a pretty bad trip mentally, even though I really enjoyed seeing crazy visuals for the first time. That first trip definitely taught me a lot.

 

[Ximot]

very strong blotter (LSD), age 21.

 

[anondragonfly]

Age 17, a hefty dose of morning glory seeds. At first they just gave me a great body high, and after three hours that went away so I thought they were done, and went out to dinner with my parents, oops.

I began to hallucinate wildly on the car ride there, and spent the peak of the experience pretending to be feeling sick at the restaurant, and unfortunately not really enjoying the visual candy encompassing me due to circumstances. Finally after getting home I could retreat to solitude, and as I lay on my bed I discovered what tripping was all about. I also got some fantastic synaesthesia, an effect I've only had once since.

30 or so trips later, this is still in the top five in terms of strength. I have no idea how I kept my cool.

14, horrific mushroom trip by a canal, 30g of wet Columbian cubensis.. only bad trip I have ever had

 

[lazydullard]

"effective"? 21 years old. First trip that benefited me, really... Was DMT. Helped my anxiety.. Although, the overall score for my drug/tripping use is still in the negative in terms of overall benefit to my life.

First psychedelic experience at all? 20 years old. I'm a slow starter, heh.

 

[Burn it up]

My first experience with any psychedelic ever was at the age of 18 with some shrooms I cultivated myself.

I planned the experience very meticulously and prepared myself mentally for some days before the trip. I wanted to learn. The experience was very deep and enriching, and made me mature a lot mentally and spiritually.

 

[B9]

LSD aged 17 years.


Wonderful stuff I thought then & I still do.

 

[electric spirit]

Mushrooms at 16, it was beautiful...

Those first few experiences weren't all that easy to fully integrate though, and I remember being pretty confused on the comedown more than once. Was it too early and would it have been easier had I waited longer? Who knows... Not that it matters much, it all turned out fine in the end %)

 

[elroy44]

I did shrooms and acid at 15, both were fun, but nothing has really given me an enlightening experience as much as ecstasy

 

[Bare_head]

17 mushrooms, gave me the most life changing trip in my life. :D

 

[FractalDancer]

I was 15.. had a few unsuccessful tries of HBWR but then had a mindblowing trip on truffles I then tried out a few different types of mushies, it was great when they were legal!

Seems most people on here were pretty young when they tried things. When I started uni i felt quite jaded and left out as I'd 'been there done that.'
