DXM at 13
2ct2, 2ci, 2ce, 5meodmt, and some other chemicals at 14 (including 5meomipt, and ketamine,
plenty more at 15 (including lsd, mushrooms, lsa, dmt, 2cd, 2cc, 2ct7, 2cb,)
 
15 - Cannabis, Shrooms and LSD.

16 - A lot more acid, 2C-I/E/B, MDMA etc. I have a big interest RC's now. Trying to find K/DMT/Mescaline.
 
Weed - 11
Acid 12
Then aged 13 i had my first bad lsd trip, put me off psycs for a few years
 
16: Weed

17: DXM, Salvia, LSD, Mushrooms, MDMA


I find that my first psychedelic experiences were with LSD, i started with 1 hit and worked my way up to 4 hits, increasing a hit every time I took it.

I tried mushrooms twice and didn't like the weird vibes I got from them compared to LSD. Took 4 very strong blotters and changed my outlook on psychedelics for the better. Taken better mushrooms towards the end of 17 and starting of 18. Now Mushrooms are my favorite after taking higher dosages and disconnecting into the void.

I would say I just researched psychedelics after I started smoking weed and became interested in LSD and mushrooms. DXM and Salvia really weren't my thing...but LSD and mushrooms hits home as my favorite substances.

Hopefully when the time comes, I will try one of the 2c Family, also Ketamine seems like a fun experience lately.
 
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.

holy crap, charlie!!! 14?? If I did acid then, I'd have turned into a glass of orange juice ;)

I was 14 when tried weed.. then didn't do psychedelics until age 23. Unless ketamine counts (but, not sure what class that's in... dissociatives, maybe?? :\ ) and then that was 16... god, i'd love some special right now! :)

(i like smilies.. sue me)
 
15 - cannabis (once, in a foreign country)
16 - cannabis regularly
17 - MDMA, shrooms (psilocybe subaeruginosa)

and thats where I am now :)
 
Tried weed around 17 from friends who were regular stoners. Moved onto MDMA at 18 once i was of legal age to goto clubs and such, and met people within the scene which introduced me to it.

Also had my first hit of LSD at 18 after been introduced to the doof scene via some hippie people i became friends with... which opened up a whole new world of opportunity for different psychedelics such as N20,Mushrooms, certain RC's and DMT. And that was it, i had found my pass-time.. psychedelic trance, friendly people and wonderful substances. :)
 
14- weed, LSA's, small dose of 2c-i
15 - (soon to try some mushrooms and hopefully get my hands on a few pieces of blotter this summer :))

Although im at a young age im not stupid, I educate myself which I believe is how psychoactives should be used. With proper knowledge of the substance. Read your Erowid guys :)
 
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.

I know where your at man! I had 500 morning glory and it was my first trip. My dad came home and I had sluffed school to do them. I was literally tripping so bad I couldn't even talk to him, people say that morning glory isn't strong but I say bullshit haha.
 
My first was with an eight of mushrooms when I was eighteen, at the time living in Toronto. Three friends and I were dubbing up the vapor lounge, a dude over-heard our conversation about mushrooms and how we had never tried them, and sold them to us on the spot. Maybe if we all weren't SO stoned we wouldn't have bought into it, but it turned out being a great idea.

They snuck me into my former residence (which I was not legally allowed inside of since my eviction), to eat em on big macs, then spent the rest of the night smoking joints in front of City Hall. None of us had ever experienced anything like that, and thus could not understand a word of what we were saying to one another. It was a great night.

I think within the month after I tried coke and E a few times, and tripped again, then put everything down for about a year.
 
Cannabis - 13 waaaaaaay too fucking young...

I had my first psychedelic experience at the age of 16, when my friends made a batch of hash brownies, and I puposefully ate a whole one after they had "prescribed" a half brownie hehe...within 45 mins I was starting to feel blessed, and then I went back home, lay on my bed with the curtains shut after eating a big pile of food, and listened to Roots Manuva - Witness (One Hope) real loud on my stereo with my eyes closed. This was the first time I remember I experienced synaesthesia (?) with music & heavy CEV's on cannabis - from then on, my "frequency waves and mosaics" I see behind my closed eyelids are black & white. My first experience with CEV's.
*17: I once bought some mexican shrooms from a guy at a festival fresh that he'd grown in massive tub incubators in a nice dark tent - I ended up throwing them away coz I was too scared hahaha.
*Tried pills at 18, and then "pure" MDMA at 19...never really had a psychedelic experience with this drug yet.
*Tried Liberty Caps at 19, then didn't do them again til I was 21.
*LSD I tried first when I was 19, did it 3 times, and then didn't try it again til I was 21 again, and now I do it once a month or so. The first few times were just light doses off some degraded tabs I'd been given and kept in my wallet.
*LSA when I was 21 (HWBaby Woodrose seeds - took 8) - that was real fun after the purging.
*Tried 2C-B, 2C-E, and 2C-x(? not sure what it was, it was like 2C-B, but greyer, and the visuals were faster for me than 2C-B) at 22 all this year!
*Tried 4-Bromo Dragonfly for the first time just over a month ago (still 22), which was OK - 3 drops, fun but nothing special in my opinion.

Next thing to try is DMT WOOOOOOOOOO!!! 50mg first try I think :P

17-Full blown... what's the term? Breakthough, right? Salvia trip. I smoked some pot before that, but I don't consider it psychedelic in comparison to my tripping. It was the most ridiculous thing ever, that salvia trip...

By 3 months later I had done (in order) shrooms, acid, and 2ce. Haha, oh, the memories...

Your story was great, and it evokes a certain feeling of kinship in me... in essence, it's like I feel the awesomeness of your time from here. :D
 
17 2ce me and a couple friends went to dallas got a hotel room and triped till the next morning(we took it at 3 30 in the morning) then went to go get salvia the next day
 
smoking over a quarter in one night of Cannabis, age 15 >>> Remember it being a psychedelic trip in its entirety, exactly how I imagined

4 g Psilocybin Cubensis + a lot of Cannabis, age 18 >>> ++++ on Shuglin, completely altered my look on life and made me a much better person to this day

2 1/2 White Number One's (MDMA), age 19 >>> made me understand what love was truly all about, amongst other women and even friends

I was 20 when I had my first mushroom trip. I'd used salvia and cannabis before that (18 and 19, respectively), if you want to count those. Salvia is interesting, but it's an entirely different type of experience from classical psychedelics. I'd call cannabis psychedelic, but only sometimes is it more than mildly so.
 
although i smoked weed when i was 14 my first psychedelic 'trip' was when i was 16, off of an eighth of mushrooms.

As someone above said, it completely changed my outlook on life and i definatly believe it to have made me a better person to this day. basically wow'ed the fuck right outta me, amazing.
