The Big & Dandy 'Age and Psychedelics' thread

[tobala]

16. And 30 years later I'm still running naked through the college campus while on LSD...

 

[drancer]

29, LSD. I am happy I waited. It's nice integrating psychedelia with life experiences.

17 mushroom
18 lsd (it was the perfect time for me)
(now 29)

 

[thugg]

Age 15, mushrooms.

Did them a handful of times (5-6 times I'd say) then tried LSD a few times (as well as DXM), afterwards I didn't really do anything besides smoke pot until I was 18-19ish.

 

[Recept]

IIRC, I was 23 when I finally decided to dive in. Had been swimming in the sea of weed for a few years prior.

I guess I'm odd like that, my drug career didn't start until I was 20 or 21

18 - LSD then psilocybe mushrooms (could count it as part of my 'higher' education as that was my first year at university! ). Since then, I've consumed a virtual dictionary of weird & wonderful psychedelics (I'm 44 now, but still feel in my 20's )

Yep, hoping that someone older than me had posted something - I know there are people in that category here on BL (even if it's just a handful!)

I have now. (46)

I did my first LSD when I was uhh... I forgot. 19-21 or so. The right drug at the right time for me.

[Morninggloryseed]

I was 15, and it was morning glory seed (hence the name). At 17, got into trying mushrooms and LSD. Tried the 'experimental psychedelics' around 24.

No one asked, but I am going to say it anyway....I certainly don't regret using psychedelics at such a young age, and I can't see that any harm came from it. However, I never really 'got much', nor was I mature enough to really understand those experiences until I was much older. I'd say around 21, 22 is when my psychedelic trips really started having a major impact as far as my outlook into spirituality and the world around.

 

[egor]

14 and it was psilocybin

my trips started to become more than just hedonistic at about age 18

 

[DOHP]

11 counting weed
15 with LSA (aka HBWS)

 

[Strange.Days]

14 and it was psilocybin

my trips started to become more than just hedonistic at about age 18

I'm glad that you put it that way. I am in fact soon to be taking 2C-B as my first (I am 18 ) and not from a hedonistic reasoning. Instead of taking any psychedelic looking for self gratification I am hoping for mental/spiritual expansion. I also feel like I will be given a bit of knowledge that is otherwise intangible without actually DOING the drug.

 

[Dondante]

My 1st experience was with mushrooms at age 20.

I feel like I've always treated psychedelics with respect, but I didn't get beyond the recreational aspects of the experience until I was 21 or 22.

 

[freespiritmind]

1st REAL one was at 17

mushrooms and/or high dose DXM (yuck! )

Started because I wanted to get 'fucked up' or high or something...figured out I stumbled across something HUGE and dove headfirst into spirituality/lucid dreaming/introspection...didn't really know about the recreational aspects of them for a couple of years after that.
