Best age to start using psychadelics?

that's a good time.
i started smoking pot at 20 and thought that was a good age. by that time you're in college/university and you KNOW what you want in life. and you can never get side-tracked. also, your mind has more or less finished developing. or it is at least getting there.
i don't personally think 15 is a good age. i remember at 15, being very confused and weird. kind of nerdy. i don't recommend fucking with your mind at that age. please, think it over. i wouldn't even suggest smoking pot. although i know people who've done it that early.. but nothing good came of it.

please, consider becoming more stable in your endeavours before trying. i remember wanting to try it at 15 too, but at the same time i was scared.

 

i was 15 the first time i tried acid, i didn't stop since...
i was 16 when i first did mushrooms & lsa,
17 when i first tried salvia.
16 when i first tried e.
12 when i first started smoking pot.
i just did dmt for the first time a couple of months ago @ 18,


i do them all today, mostly just weed, lsd, and shrooms though.


it depends on your mind set though, not your age, i'd say.

 

some of us are in college and DON'T know quite what we want in life...

 

raz, what happened to getting sleep?

 

12 when you started smoking pot?

i was still high on lion king at that age.
i just don't get it. who were you hanging out with?

 

it's too fucking cold man hahah.



and yes, i was 12. i hung out with a bunch of cool 8th graders and we smoked all day everyday. when we weren't in school.

 

Stoners!

 

i know right? i didn't even know drugs existed until i was 16 when i tried pot for the first time. didn't really get too interested in anything else until I tried DXM for the first time when I was like 21, and I realized that substances other than pot or booze can be awesome. Since then it's been "take what you can get". Everything else I've done has been in the past 2 years, at age 23/24

 

I started drinking & smoking pot at 14, shrooms once at 15-16, i tried E at 16 when a friend of the family came home one night and gave me half a pill, i thought it was shit and did not touch anything other than booze or pot until new years when i was 20 and my idea of harder drugs was changed forever. After that i tried everything & anything i could get my hands on

As for the right age, i dont think there is one its all about when you feel ready i have a friend whos just turned 16 and ive shown him to the light of things like LSA & Mescaline, he wants to do some LSD with me so some day soon so after a few more trips on the other stuff ill get him some LSD

 

depends on how he uses it. my friend who was 15 last year fucked his shit up last summer by tripping way too much for someone so young with such a underdeveloped brain, however not everyone goes to far with it. its up to you, shit you might realize you don't like tripping yet, the only way to find out is to do it when you feel ready to

 

ahh yes... *streches out influence* the world? :drool5: lmao...

in my opinion psychedelics shouldn't really even be used by most people that use them. but that's not to say that sometimes it can't be beneficial anyway. i wasn't telling him that he should use drugs. i was just saying that he should dose if he wants to, if he thinks he is ready -- but only if he is ready. no one here is going to be a better judge of that than than himself. only he can answer certain questions.

 

I wish I had taken LSD when I was 14

not saying thats right for anyone else

but if I could go back in time to change something, the only thing I would do is give my 14 year old self a ten strip and learys translation of the tibetan book of the dead

some would perhaps frown on me saying this notion to a 15 year old asking... but I would be lying if I said otherwise

Also in relation to this subject. In certain native american tribes, I think all of them. But I know Commanches did it. At a certain age EVERY male had to go on a 'vision quest', seek a vision. I believe this age was right around 13-14 as well, when puberty starts. I'm native american by heritage and a part of me very deeply feels this to be correct, a very deep part me feels every person needs to undergo such a genuine spiritual experience, and it needs to be done before the adult ego begins to solidify. And it's right when puberty is kicking in that the adult ego begins to solidify. Because otherwise, your susceptible to brain washing, you haven't seen the real truth, so you'll believe anyones truth. Thus your susceptible to your adult ego growing under the control of mal-intentioned entities.

And the reason I wish I say I had taken LSD at 14, before high school is, I feel I lost alot of myself in high school that I had to recover afterwards. Took me years to recover afterwards. And I lost it to mal-intentioned entities in high school. Teachers, even my own parents, other students, the very structure of high school. And had I known the real truth before hand. That would of never happened.

 

I believe once you feel your spiritually ready. My first time on acid was at 14, after I read "The Elcertic Kool aid acid test". Then again, however, I was a pretty spiritual 14 year old...and I never was qiote the same.
Man, I love acid.

 

Generally if you question whether you are ready for anything, it means you aren't. When you are ready, you'll know. The same goes for finding drugs, you'll be much more likely to find them when you are ready than when you are not.

I remember a girl I knew in the 8th grade bragging about doing acid and how it "killed a dime sized portion of the brain" and that she had already lost about 85cents worth of brain..

So I'd say whenever you're old enough to not think stupid shit like that is a good time to start. I started at weed at 16, then moved on to shrooms at about 20 and LSD a short time after that.

 

" am i the only person that likes to take care of myself and my community?"
you aren't not taking care of yourself

I have to disagree with you. People are complex and you cant apply one idea to everyone

 

Ok im gonnah disagree with you codmouse even tho were homies, but yeah i used salvia hardcore when i was 15 years old, and i regret nothing it was the most amazing thing. And i started smoking weed when i was 11, i don't really regret that but it is better to start that when you are 15 or 16. But yeah it all comes down to how much you understand and how ready you are.

 

lol you all are funny Beautiful people. How am I going to argue against a 15 year old using drugs on a hippy forum? lol

The community I love <3

 

When you think you're mentally ready to handle dramatic changes in perspective in your life. I first tried at 17, I had left school and was ready in myself. Only you know if you are ready.
