How many times do you think you'll trip?

Hey folks, I just got out of the hospital today detoxing off methadone, and yes I missed BL. I'm not sure if this is ment in this forum, but what the hell, I'll give it a go.

How many times do you think you'll trip in your life? Realistically. Or to put it another way, how old do you think you'll be when you no longer trip at all?....even once every few years or something, like when you're married and have kids. So what's the deal?

For me, personally I have no idea. There are times I never want to trip again. (if any of you remember that thread), and there are times when I think, just don't do what you did last time Dex, make sure you dont OD on a psychedelic.,


So?>
 
Hey man, welcome back :)

I think about that sometimes. Currently I don't see a time in the future that I won't trip at least occasionally. However, if I ever start to feel like I don't it anymore, or that it's really making me unhealthy, I'll stop.
 
Good to see you back again, Dexter. I'll be tripping until the day I die, I'm sure.
 
Couldn't count how many times so far, and I have no intention of stopping. it's not like a compulsive drug habit where you use all the time. One never knows what opportunities life holds or when a psychedelic experience will become necessary or desirable. You could end up in prison for the rest of your life or be so tied down by a 7day/week job that the time never does present itself again. Also, for me, low points in life for me will often cause a long hiatus (ie-death of a family member, work stress, legal stress, etc) because a trip would only amplify these problems. There have been times when I've tripped daily for weeks on end, then reverted back to business as usual with no regrets or aftermath.
For the regulars on this subforum, 'a lot' is probably the best answer you'll get.
 
Welcome back! I hope treatment went not too unkindly for you.

I honestly don't think I can look that far in the future. I don't plan to stop in the next few years unless something really pivotal happens. If I get married and have kids some day, I'm sure it'll slow down by a huge factor. But will I stop? It'll probably wind up being the case that I just can't get my hands on any. But should some come along... who knows. :)
 
probably only 100-200 times in my lifetime. anything more would make it meaningless to me
 
I really can't see myself stopping at this point in my life. Psychedelics are too positive of a force in my life right now, and I can't see any reason to stop taking them. Assuming things continue as they are, I will take them for the rest of my life. If I were to find that they were harming me more than they were helping me, however, I would stop.
 
My attitude towards tripping has changed from a "lets just get fucked up and have fun", to something that means much more to me. It's almost like it's something that I need to do once every few months to sort the cobwebs out from my head.

I don't see me quitting tripping any time soon. I could see me getting to a point where I only tripped once every year - but never outright quit.
 
I'm sure that certain drugs will no longer appeal to me when I'm older (grindingly hard trips), but I'm pretty sure others will be much better. One of the great things about tripping is the swirl of perspectives you get on everything, and I think that will will only get better with time. Sure it's nice with 2 decades of existence under your belt, but imagine it with 5 or 6!

Drugs also can make the old and familiar fresh again, and that will only become more exhilarating.
 
It is down to just a couple time a year now, but I don't ever plan on stopping. Even if it is just once a decade when I am older, I can't ever see me not going back. It is a part of who I am. I can't imagine camping without one of those nights talking with the stars. Will probably just use low dosages around the kids. (Not that I am planning any yet.)

Damn right I do! An I.V. injection while on my deathbed... that would be the perfect peak experience ever! :D
 
I tripped monthly from late 1987 thru 1994. Then I stopped for 10 years. Why did I start up again in 2004? I still don’t know. It was just ‘time’.

As far as the future, I have no idea. My brain will just have to let me know when it’s time again.

I do like the idea of tripping at least once a year when I’m old. My trips have only gotten better with age and it’d be a shame to stop and ‘let the young whippersnappers have all the fun’ with all that accumulated life experience to tap into.
