Took mushrooms when I was 16. :)

First acid when I was 17 - was the night before my 18th Birthday and my parents had arranged a birthday party... turned up a lil frazzled 8). It had been an epic troop trip... visited the temple of psychic youth =D
 
What age did you get involved in Psychedelics?

Just wondering what age you started at and with what substance?

What age would you recommend?

I was 16, did N20 with a couple of friends.

I took my first tab of LSD when I was 14 years old and it was awesome.

I think that generally that's a bit too young but I turned out fine. You may want to wait until your over 18 to ingest these substances so your brain is fully developed.
 
I was 17 when i first started reading up on psychedelics, however i obviously didnt read up enough because i decided 2c-e would be good first choice!

It was very intense but i came out alright and have enjoyed many beautiful trips since.
 
16 with Mushrooms, had tried cannabis and mdma before that.

Looking back I wouldn't have changed it and waited, I didn't abuse the hell out of it, but the trips didn't really mean much to me at the time, they were just a way to have fun.

LSD - 17/18

2C-B/C/D/I @ 22

late 13; cannabis. Smoked it regularly for the next few years. That one screwed me up socially now that I look back on it. Also did various pharms such as ritalin/pain killers. When first getting into drugs I find even non "psychedelic" drugs kind of feel psychedelic in a way.

My first real psychedelic use was 16; mushrooms. Shortly after my 17th birthday I did a full dose of MDMA and I was off to the races :)
 
I first tried cannabis at 12, began regular smoking at 13.

However, I had my first psychedellic 'trip' at 15 with a morning glory extraction. Being a naughty 15 year old, me and my friend soon managed to steal all the packets of heavenly blues from two shops. For shame, yes? I first had MDMA at 15 also but none of my trips were psychedelic so I wouldn't count them for me.

It was all just a bit of fun back then, I'd never thought about, or been confronted by any deeper aspects of the psychedelic experience until I first broke through on salvia when I was 16 and experienced my first loving entity. Her arms hugged me and I finally felt like I got what the psychedelic experience was all about. It was the most loving warmth I'd ever felt, and I felt the most intense acceptance I had ever felt :)
 
What happend?

Went over to my good friends apartment from college. He was trying to get me to trip for about a year, but I was really afraid. I went over and just took them, and it opened my eyes to what life was really about. I had anger issue before I took psychedelics and after that day I realized that life was so beautiful that I really don't have any reason to get angry over petty things. I turn 21 really soon and I love where my life is going even though it keeps taking random and weird twist and turns. But I am somehow still in college and have good grades and a job. HAHAHA life lol.
 
I got the shit scared out of me by shrooms when I was 14. I swore off psychedelics until I did LSD at 18 or 19; it was the most glorious experience of my life and it changed me for the better. :)
 
I became interested in psychedelics when I was 15, spent days/weeks/months reading about them and decided to wait until I was 18. Now I'm 20, tripped quite a few times since my 18th birthday and it was well worth the wait.
 
Hmmm, no one's mentioned mescaline...too strong for a beginner, or just not as accesible?
 
Cannabis Sativa at age 13.

Psilocybin Cubensis at age 20

Ketamine at age 22

Lysegic Acid Diethylamide at age 23

Dimethyltryptamine at age 25

Mescaline at age 25

Going to get into research chemicals soon.
