The Big & Dandy 'Age and Psychedelics' thread

[DoorsofPerception]

I first smoked weed about a week after turning 15…was very psychedelic the first few times. I was always interested in psychedelics because I’d been a Hendrix/Grateful Dead/Doors fan since elementary school.

Started researching LSD and found morning glories which I tried a few months after my first weed smoking. Tried them a few times but never had a complete psychedelic experience but definitely knew there was something to be found in psychedelics.

During the summer I took a few medium dose DXM trips but didn’t really enjoy the feeling so never really pursued it, also tried salvia which I grew to dislike as well. A couple months after turning 16, I tried some weak psilocybin mushrooms and ate at least 5 grams but only had a light psychedelic experience.

My first mind expanding trip was a few months later on an 8th of proper cubensis and blew my world apart. My favorite trip however was my first experience with LSD at 17…pure love on a piece of paper. Also tried MDMA my first time at 17 and have done it a little too much.

Since then I’ve tripped probably hundreds of times with new substances…DMT, mescaline, 2C-x, and DOx.

First "real" psychedelic was when I was 20, tried MDMA for the first time with my gf. I now measure my life in 2 sections, Pre MDMA and Post MDMA. Don't know where my life would be now if I hadn't started down this fantastic journey/hobby. Im very sure I would not be as happy as I am now if I had not gotten into psych's. I feel excedingly lucky to have had the experiences I have had in the last year.

14 years old, 55 grams of fresh cubensis. "Effective" is an understatement. I went through a gamut of emotion that I had never thought possible before, from unadulterated faceless terror right through to brilliant, transcendent, universal love. I truly believe that I achieved union with whatever it is, beyond the physical world, that is infinite and eternal and unchanging and perfect-it was like dying and going to Platonic heaven. I would never recommend a 14 year old boy to take a dose like that now, but at the same time I wouldn't change it for the world.

3 grams dried cubensis when I was 16, changed everything

 

[Putingrad]

3.5 grams of dried shroomies @ 17 years old. A bit of a scary experience, it gradually got better, but on the whole waas not particularly profound. I was a much different person back then anyway.

A year later, when I was 18 and 19, I was a much different and healthier person and started really getting into psychedelics, having beautiful after beautiful experience. I've slowed down recently, but plan to remain on the bus for a long time

 

[fluxy]

15 on 1 heavy dose of LSD and some good bud. the trip before the bud was great but the bud showed me that there were other realities that were scary!!!! Tried many but favourites are DXM jus tright and ketamine and MDMA trippin, you cant find a better way to get into a better mood for it!!!

 

[matterofperception]

when i was 14 i ingested DOI as my first psych thinking it was acid......i would not consider that expereince effective tho. My first effective one was LSD also at 14.

im 17

last night smoked some weed dipped in pure THC. i know this sounds like a dealer rip off. but it was real. indescribably intricate patterns seemed to be organically growing out of everywhere i looked... for a while i couldnt distinguish between taste and smell. thats all i remember

 

[pseudononamouse]

16 on a mixture of San Pedro and achuma
Wonderful time

How do you know it was real? iirc PCP is passed off as pure THC. I sincerely doubt anyone would synthesise/extract pure THC and then dip weed in it.

 

[love_sex_desire]

Just started high school, in grade 9.

Age 14.

1 hit of LSD

Great visuals, the best single hit trips were from back in high school. I guess where I live they don't make individual hits as strong anymore.

I wouldn't recommend doing any psychedelics until age 18, but at the same time the experience was amazing. The next day I had lingering LSD effects on my perception which symbolized that LSD would change me forever. I thought I would never be the same, and it was true. LSD has changed my life ever since my first trip over 8 years ago. I can not describe how deeply LSD has influenced and guided my entire philosophy and my understanding of nature and the universe. I feel a connected identity and I'm forever thankful for the wisdom LSD has provided. Having done LSD at a young age, I have been able to integrate the experiences for close to a decade and I have developed a high affinity for understanding the abstract. Unfortunately there is no way to know whether doing LSD at a young age is a good idea. At age 14 I "knew" I was ready, and al though I actually was, I was still naive and got lucky. Others might not be so.

can i ask a question, how are u doin g in school now? or in life for that matter?

Well I'm another 14 year old acid casualty! If you want a positive story from someone who took LSD at a young age, you can rest assured that I think I am doing great. I took acid at a very young age. It was the first "hard" chemical I had done, and the first recreational drug besides weed and alcohol that I had experimented with. It opened my eyes a lot, al though some people would not be mature enough to integrate this in a positive manner. Along with the all of the spiritual and therapeutical benefits, LSD definitely may have contributed to my already brewing anti-authority complex! In any case, I graduated from high school on time, never failed a class. I lived on my own as soon as I turned 18 just for the experience. I had a couple issues with addiction, but these were in no way related to psychedelics. I was interested in all DRUGS when I was young, but after having completely gotten off of daily use of drugs with physical dependence I am now mainly interested in psychedelics. I can only advise you to do the same, stay away from addictive drugs, and be careful! Al though psychedelics are not physically addictive, I consider them to be the most powerful types of drugs. Currently I live with my girlfriend and I'm in university, actually had my first exam of the semester this morning. It was chemistry by the way.

Or, more likely if it's being passed off as THC, a synthetic cannabinoid.

Merged this in with the previous thread on similar topic.

In answer to the question, first notable pychedelic experience was ~300ug of LSD when I was 16/17. Think I'd played around a bit with various herbal things (and plenty cannabis - including some hefty oral doses which would possibly count as psychedelic) previously but that first bit of Lucy Luvvin' was the real eye-opener

I notice a lot of people on this forum mentioning specific doses of LSD in micrograms and I'm wondering how they came to these conclusions? I have never known how much LSD I take, or how much is on each hit. I can roughly estimate that I've done up to probably around 600 ug based on researching reports on the net of others who claim to have known how much they were taking, but I have no idea how much was on my first blotter! Especially considering it was the first scheduled drug besides weed that I had experimented with.

Quite possibly, I hadn't thought of that. I just know that PCP has a history of being sold as THC.

 

[colorsinthevoid]

3.5g of the most prime cubensis I've seen since at age 16. Profoundly life-changing experience and still one of my most intense trips to date (out of many).

LSD at 17 I believe, but I didn't get my hands on good acid until a year or two later.

Although I would argue that my first dozen or so cannabis experiences were pretty much full-blown trips, and that was age 15.

I have high doubts about the validity of your dealer's claim. It would be a lot less expensive to grow good quality bud rather than synthesize THC to dip bud in. Why not make hash instead if you wanted a higher THC content?

What do you mean weed "dipped" in pure THC? Was it THC diluted in liquid? I've never heard anything remotely close to that before! Sounds HIGHLY unlikely!

Does anyone know if it is even possible to "dip" weed into pure THC? Could you hypothetically synthesize THC, dilute the THC in a liquid, and dip weed in it? I always thought of "dipping" as dipping into a liquid solution. I suppose you could "mix" bud with THC.

I don't think Marinol is that readily available to use pharmaceutical THC to hypothetically dip weed into. Maybe if you had a precription you could make a solution/mixture for your own personal use, but I don't think it's easy to access enough Marinol to mix with weed on any scale large enough to have THC dipped weed to sell in any sort of quantity. Regardless, even if someone was just making a solution for personal use, it doesn't sound practical whatsoever. You would probably have to synthesize THC independently, which doesn't seem to make sense to me. If I wanted to consume a lot of THC to trip out, I would either make hash or oil, or I would make weed butter and bake a nice dose into cookies or mix the butter with ice cream, etc.

Synthetic cannibinoids is a possibility, but I don't understand why a dealer would do this, unless they had a huge supply and their weed was bunk. Al though synthetic cannibinoids sounds a lot more logical than THC "dipped". PCP is a possibility, considering your intense visuals, but normally a dealer would tell you it's PCP dipped, not THC "dipped". When PCP is mixed with weed, the PCP is mixed in a liquid solution and then dipped into the weed. There is a good possibility if the dealer specifically said it was "dipped" in pure THC that it was actually dipped in a PCP solution. If they did sell you PCP as THC that is highly unethical!

This reminds me of ridiculous claims that people add "crack" or other highly addictive substances to weed, as if a dealer would add expensive drugs to weed. Not practical whatsoever.

If I could I would drop acid around 12-13 year of my life.

 

[Vader]

Pure THC is a thin, colourless oil iirc, you could dip as is or dilute with a solvent then evaporate it off after soaking the weed. I very much doubt that anyone would though. As for the "dealers don't add expensive drugs to weed", that's true in most cases, but in an instance like this where it's being sold as an exotic, potent product, presumably at a premium, it's quite likely.

How the hell did you do Datura at age 13?!? Did someone tell you to do it? However you came across it, thats awful!

I had a buddy who was sold a datura seed pod as peyote when he was young (around 15) and ill-informed. He was gullible enough to believe it was a cactus because the seed pod has "spikes" around it. Some 40 something dirtbag weed dealer sold it to him. He was told to choke it down whole (I'm assuming so he wouldn't bite into it, notice the seeds, and realize it's not a cactus?) and ended up in the hospital for about 2 days, not knowing he was high, thinking he was in the hospital for a broken arm.

He said some of the most intense parts of the ordeal that he can remember included thinking his hospital bed was a race car flying high speeds and there was a suitcase covering the brakes so he couldn't stop, and looking at the hospital window and seeing an ant farm of little gnomes shoveling tunnels with pitch forks.

When he got out of the hospital he told me that he took peyote. After hearing that it lasted a couple days I quickly showed him a picture of a datura seed pod and asked him if that's what he took. Sure enough, he obviously took a datura seed pod, and I got to laugh at him for being so stupid while being relieved that he was okay. He honestly almost died. He was pissing every couple minutes trying to flush it out, but refused to drink any water. He was so out of it that he refused water and was demanding beer, so they had to hook him up to a saline IV drip!

I think I'm gonna start a thread about whether anyone else has been offered "datura" as peyote, a it has happened to me before. Luckily I knew what it was as soon as I saw it!
