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

I would not recommend or imply that 12 or 13 year olds should do acid. Most 12 and 13 year olds would not get anything out of the trip as you really need to be a little more mentally developed before you can integrate the experience.

If any 12 or 13 year olds are reading this, don't do acid! Get off a drug forum and go have fun. Don't waste your childhood! You'll have your entire life to experiment with whatever you choose, when you are old enough to make such decisions responsibly.

Nutmeg? Belladonna? LOL Did you at least have a good time?!?

If I enjoyed my datura/belladona/nutmeg combo??? not very much,but it was interesting 3 days of halucinations... I ended runing from my grandmother and uncle ( who attacked my becose he was going cold turkey from 3 years of doing coke,benzos ) I runned to next village ( close to Vienna ).... halucinations were hunting me everywhere... they were extremly realistic... it was just my parents,grandparents and uncle.I heard their voices in house near me,but they wasnt there.... I ran aggain and aggain.All day all night,they were everywhere and I had fear that my uncle will hurt me ( he weights 95kg,was 27 years old,body builder compared to me 65 kg )

Most interesting halucinations was when I saw police helicopter with body heat sensor searching for me.I burried myself in field near village with tube in my mouth so I can breath... spend there 2-3 hours and runned aggain... dirty,exhausted,without any food,water,money,or mobile.At third day I was still running,hided for 7 hours in WC near beach... heard their voices,I was thinking they see me trough some little hole.When I gave up and walked forward to my uncle,he disappeared like smoke,this was when it hit me "your crazy from all those things you eated in Vienna botanic garden!!!" all the time I didnt know that I am delirious from this shit.After about 3 hours cops drove my back... THE END

That was most crazy and weird thing
that ever happened to me.... things I done,hidding to the extreme in foreign country while heavy dosed on mutliple poisons... Its something so surreal and I had many high dose shrooms & lsd,dob,salvia trips.Datura is not toy,it fucks up your eyes,you cant read anything closer than 1m.( saucer pupils ) Interesting thing was all those people and items disappearing,image this monitor your looking at will just disappear,it would be really weird.

15 or 16. Had a complete ego death on LSA. I came out of it realizing I am nothing and everything.

15 I ate 1/4 mushrooms

awesome

 

[Pans-Advocate]

I first smoked weed at 17, in between high school and college.

Halfway through freshman year I tried a half-8th of mushrooms, tried acid a few weeks later.

At 18, a month before my second year of college, I had an experience on 2.4g of mushrooms that completely blew my shit open and made me realize that psychedelics were serious fucking business. I had a punishingly unpleasant breakthrough experience on salvia later that year.

At 19 I first encountered research chemicals and tried 2C-B and 2C-E for the first time. I also watched my friend go through a psychotic break on 2C-E that turned him into a much saner person after it was over and gave me an example for the "perfect bad trip." I'm really glad it happened to him and I'm really glad I was there to see it.

At 20, I tried MDMA for the first time, and then DMT several months later.

At 21 I drank tea made from 2.4g of Panaeolus tropicalis mushrooms and had a half-hour encounter with the DMTverse at the peak, followed by 4 hours of perfect understanding of the unity of all things and the fundamental reality of love that existence is founded on. It was the experience I'd been waiting and hoping for since before I first experimented with psychedelics.

It's been a year and a half since then and the fulfillment I find in taking psychedelics has not diminished.

LSD-Age and its effects on the experience.

I took my first dose of LSD at the ripe age of 15. The experience left me speechless, as did my next 4 or 5, all spaced out over a year. Most magical experience of my life.

Than LSD left my town for 6 months.

Later, I was almost 17 by this time, I did LSD again to find out it was different. A whole different experience. It felt like a very different drug. It no longer gave me euphoria, visuals much less "crisp", and no OBEs as I previously has.

Anywhoo, has anyone else started LSD use that young and noticed a change with age? I feel my level of intelligence and maturity changed the drug very drastically.

All the friends I used to do it with (It was the same bunch every time) also agreed it no longer had its magic. Even with exact same people and setting, was no longer the drug i remember.

I guess this is moot now as Im 18 and done with psychs, but Ive always wondered about it.

Anyway, enough ranting.

I've noticed many differences in my trips but they were mostly due to set, setting and strength/purity of the LSD. Age has had an influence on my set and setting but I don't know that I would say age per se was the cause of the difference in my trips. I have not noticed a correlating decline in the enjoyment of my trips as I get older. I first tripped when I was around 16 and I'm currently 26.

 

[SimplyOwnage]

What you said seems about right, you and your friends probably matured.

 

[Mjäll]

It's part of growing up I think. During my first trips at age 17 and 18 I was goofing around, being in the moment very much just having fun and then a stroke of darkness would hit me and I had no idea why.

Nowadays (at 20) I tend to get into more destructive and "real" thought patterns rather than get carried away by interesting but ultimately empty memes.

I think the solution is to really try to reach some state of pure acceptance of self and surrounding, rather than trust the "goofiness" and fun to bring the bliss. I have not yet managed to do this despite many trips - though I have been close, and I hope my next time will get there.

Yes! Described my thoughts exactly. I had tried the general acceptance of surroundings (cognitive thinking) while tripping, but to no avail, I do feel its the solution though.

for me my first lsd experiences were at the age of 18. They were very recreational and loaded with tons of visuals. i just recently got a hold on some acid a couple days ago and was excited to share the experience with my girlfriend. I am now 20 and sadly, the trip was not what i had expected. Visuals were neat to none and the mental trip was fairly dark and really clouded. Me and my girlfriend did bond a lot but it was not something i felt was fun, more or less i learned a lot on it than i had ever before.


I must also note that Acid is very hard to come by where i live. I found a connect now and if i had gone back a year or so ago i would probably blow a lot of my money on it but after this weekend i dont plan on taking any for a while, maybe mixed with MDMA at a rave but that is it. After taking various RC's to substitute for LSD( which i must say i felt did not substitute and was always let down and desired lsd), i feel that LSD has let me down and the RCs are what i am looking for now. 2c-e is my main prize, and to think it was my most feared psych right below salvia.


I dont think age has much to do with the changing in the experience but more so with maturity and knowledge. I have grown so much since than and i have finally become what I would call a "adult", athough society would say I have been an adult for two years now...



If you have yet to try any of the 2c's i highly recommend it. For me they are deeper and you can gain a lot from them, most notably 2c-e but the others have their potential.

Felix: it sounds like you got weaker tabs this time. Just eat more of them.

You're 18, what you should do is stop taking psychedelics till you're like 21 or so.

Maybe your LSd is weak, or maybe you got a DOx that is active in MGand not UG but you need to take lots more(of the same hits) to get a decent trip outta it.

uhhh yeah if youre getting DOx you dont want to take multiple hits of it. bad idea.

most of these sound like you people just got better acid when you were younger. and OP obviously yes age changes your trip. 15y.o. you and 25 y.o. you are completely different people.

 

[Sykoknot]

My acid, which lets just say I had ample amount of, was extremely strong. I had taken a 10 strip, with the thought it might be weaker. Had a EXTREMELY strong trip, but not like it used to be.

I dont plan taking LSD again, ever. Im to predisposed for schizophrenia. 25% of everyone in my family developed it.

 

[rollingrainbow]

I have never taking it and im 18 when r you too old to try it?
I know your "never too old"
but you hear all the people who leave behind acid after their 20's. .
i don't want to wait to long. . .

Oh, yes Sykoknot, that is a good idea. If you're predisposed, then stay away from them drugs, my dear (all of them, I reckon). Very prudent of you to decide against taking acid (though, the earlier the better).

And i would say your right.

LSD allows you to probe 'your' inner psyche, the experience is completely dependent on your own personality, and also brings into play life experience and knowledge which also will determine how you view your surroundings and yourself.

I first tried LSD at 18, the first few experience's were euphoric while accompanied with the slight essence of curiosity and wonder. As i tried it more and understood more about myself the experience's shifted more in the direction of real world situations, my interactions with people, the meaning of reality in a physical sense.. breaking down every aspect of the human mind to its core.

This spanned over a few years, easy access to a good supply of LSD and a curiosity for knowledge will do this I'm now 20.. i don't really indulge in LSD anymore, the experience becomes far to analytical and I've been through enough of that. I don't mind Mushrooms or DMT on occasion.. but in general.. once you go far enough, your happy to give up the psycho-naught days
