Some friends of mine have been expressing interest in psychedelic drugs and have procured mushrooms. These kids are teenagers, 14-16... they've smoked the marijaweewa and all, but I'm not sure if people of this age with all their hormonal/psychic/emotional weirdness should be getting into the stuff. But what do I know? What age do you guys think is about right for a person who's interested in gobbling up some shrooms? Does it depend on the person? Please, for my own edification, would you experienced fungus-freaks please offer me your opinons? Mahalo.
Honostly, I think it is up to the person, I have been smoking weed since the age of 9 and have done acid a few times in between then and now, so I know my personal boundaries. I never tried shrooms until this year, when I was 15. It was a good experience and a good time, but you just need to have self control and patience because you could hurt yourself really easy w/o realizing nor feeling it while on shrooms.
they just have to be comfortable with their mental state, and all that jazz cuz if you give someone something as powerful as a psychedelic when they are questioning their sanity, it's just bad things waiting to happen from my experience get them informed, let them know what they're dealing with, and they'll have to make their own choice on the matter, if they are informed and know what's going on and they're not ready, they're concious should kick in and tell them that they shouldn't do it
Definitely depends on the person. If they seem mature and intelligent and are willing/not scared, sure. Just make them read trip reports from Shroomery.org and Erowid.org, as well as other information on it. Knowing what you are getting into is a good thing.
I tried shrooms when I was 18, did an eighth, and my douche bag friend convinced me I had shit my pants. That was 5-6 months ago, and I still sometimes think I shit my pants. I can smell it and feel it, but then I check and it's not there. So just be careful. Feel free to laugh, I don't care anymore.
It completely depends on the individual, I know some 15 year olds that are far more mature and level headed than some 25 year olds I know. Just go by the same rules as if they were all adults, if they are already fucked up in the head, then taking mushrooms is probably a bad idea. If they are as normal emotionaly and mentaly as most 14-16 year olds around then they will probably be fine.
there are plenty of kids younger than 16 that i know could handle shrooms & i know tons of kids my age that wouldn't even be able to handle weed(pathetic i know). it depends on the person, how much their prepared for the drug & their maturity. u cant just stick an age limit on everything. u cant stand there and say that ur under 21, ur not matrue enough to get drunk.(we've all drank under 21 im sure) it depends on the person!
i was 18 when i first had shrooms but i think i wold have been fine at 15 or 16 its all your suroundings not your age
I feel abit sad, that people are trying such an amazing and full of potential beneftis so early, before they are really grow alittle sronger in mental plan. And that sadly they muight be scared of, from expirience they have at such early age for the rest of theri lives.... without at least some knowing of what they could have if they would have done it at 18-20 . or later as needed.
im 15 and im not going to try them until im 17/18. its a personal decision. only because i find it too young right now wand im not doing it as a party drug like all the other 15/16 year olds around me. im doing it to open my mind and expand my outlook on life. isnt that the reason every1 else does? i just think 15 is an age that hasnt had enough life experienc yet and i dont want to scare myself.
