just wondering what everyone thinks the minimum age to have a trip should be. I tripped my first time two weeks ago and am 16.
I am not so sure if shrooms are bad to do early on but I will most likely wait till i am 17-18 for acid (if i even try it then)
If you can handle shrooms, you can handle acid. Age doesn't have that much to do with it, a friend had a bad trip on 2C-I recently, and she's 25. Has more to do with when and where you trip.
in a book by timothy leary i think politics of ecstasy, he guaruntees (sp?) that one day first graders will be given acid as a learning aid lol
it all depends on the person. just like not everyone is responsible enough to drink when they're 21, and some people are ready by the time they're 16...
Kinda like I said, some people are ready to trip at 16, some never will be. Don't worry, if you can't handle it even that teach you something. But I think you can.
i've done mushrooms...they were just really weird and psychotic. but i've always thought that lsd was way more powerful than mushrooms.
my friend gave my sister 1 mushroom cap last time we shroomed because she wanted to try it, and she was having a blast playin at the park and then she fell in dog shit and freaked out and went home and started cutting her wrists, she was fine but she could have killed herself.... that brought us all down big time, she is 16.
i dont think there is a certain "age" when people should be ready to trip, different people mature at different rates and you have to be mature enough to handle the drug.
jerry garcias daughters first trip was when she was 1 and a half, cuz jerry left some shrooms out on a table and she ate them lol
^ yeah dude I just heard that a few days ago. that would be so weird being tripping at that age.
Well I shroomed three times within my spring break (a lovely two week break). every time was great. I just was wondering about maybe it affecting brain developement. People always say shit like it makes ur brain bleed, or stuff like it makes your spine go into ur brain. Just creeped me out.
The last trip satisfied me for a while though so I hope not to shroom at least until a month, although keeping myself away may be harder than I wish due to friends wanting to shroom.
You could eat fugu while your tripping.
If prepared right it is a delicacy.
If prepared wrong, deadly like the nightshade.
Trippy really depends on your surrondings and your frame of mind...
if your 15 yrs old in your bedroom about to drop a hit of acid u might want to rethink. Most likely you'd take it... start tripping balls.. do something to wake up your parents, and end up in the psyc ward becuase u think your a gorilla
if your 15 yrs old and in the right place... I think a younger kid could handle a trip as long as hes happy before the trip. If your a depressed kid or have lots of problems in your life and are unhappy u never want to trip!!! If your happy you'll trip happy
Hallucinagens don't make your brain or spine or anything else bleed, they trigger the release of neurotransmitters. Tryptamines (including shrooms) closely resemble seretonin, PEAs (peyote,ect.) closely resemble dopamine. As do amphetamines.
i tripped on acid and shrooms,did e,yay and everything else besides heroin before i was even 15.I was always around drugs,and still am.I wasn't ready to trip then,because you can't comprehend what its gunna be like.Im 17 now,and i don't even do %10 of the drugs i did when i was 14.mostly weed and booze.I had an awesome trip on shrooms yesterday though.There is no age limits for tripping.I had bad experiences,but i wouldn't take em back.
yeha. My first trip was really uncomfortable. I felt way to foreign and at what point thought I really fucked up and pulled all my eyelashes out and was gonna be a freak.
every time I trip I am always drawn to walking off from the group and spending some time alone.
does anyone else feel any sort of unexplainable unhappiness around the beginning of the trip? I feel this sometimes but it usually turns into happiness.
overall I think shrooms are great but the body high and confusion makes for a rough night. smoke weed when on shrooms for best results ;0
Tripping isn't always easy or fun, but neither is life. It is amazing, and that's the point. A little time alone when your tripping isn't necessarilly a bad thing. You work through the negative shit, and you come out the other side. That's sorta the point, beyond just watching the light show (not that that isn't fun) Acid takes me deeper into the mental side than shrooms, but if you just want to have fun stick with beer, hallucinagens are much more than that.
I perfer to be alone when I'm tripping on acid. With a lot of people and energy around your mind tends to get chasing, but when relaxed in a quiet dark room by yourself you'll see anything u want :P
