Why I think young teens shouldn't trip

i could have handled waiting awhile. but then again, now i'm kinda being pressured to "grow up," so maybe i didn't start tripping young enough
i first tripped on mushrooms when...shit i'm not sure. probably 18 or 19. that's a good age i guess.
unless you count salvia, which i tried on Jan 25 2003. i know the date b/c i got arrested shortly thereafter for possession of marijuana - and i'm looking at the ticket i was 17 then.
i definitely could have waited til later than 14 to start smoking weed though. but at least i'm switching to mostly my vaporizer now.

 

I don't know why everyone thinks our society is fucked. Yeah, there are some serious negatives about it, but I'd like to see a better system. There will always be negatives, cause if there weren't then we'd have nothing to relate to as positive.

 

I think it differs for everyone, honestly. My first trip was with my brother and his friend, I was 15 and started smoking weed by 13. My brother and I made tea out of an eighth of these awesome shrooms he had gotten, we split the doses while his friend took the same amount in his own brew. I had the most mind blowing experience..I would never take it back.

 

I've been giving this a lot of consideration today and have come to the following.
Sure, why not. It's going to be the safest drug you will ever put into your body physiologically speaking. It won't eat holes into your brain or shit like that, so put any of those fears or doubts aside.

I wouldn't have any reservations about any of the big three; LSD, Psylocibin(mushrooms), or Mescaline (cacti).
I would stay away from any RC chemicals and mdma at that age. My reasoning is that the big three have the longest record of use in humans of all the psychedelics. LSD is the most extensively studied psychedelic, followed by mescaline and psylocibin.
I have absolutely no fears or reservations about consuming one of those three in regards to any physical harm. LSD is safer than refined sugar of caffiene for gosh sakes!

The RC's, while they may prove to be harmless as well, just simply do not have the track record of longevity of use or large sample base of users to review like LSD.

So, now that we have settled the issue of physical harm which is non-existant with the big 3, let's consider emotional and psychological factors.
The best advice is to research the effects, which you are doing in a manner in these forums. Know what to expect as far as the somatic (physical) effects are so you don't think your heart is beating to fast or some shit like that. Lots of folks don't take that into consideration and freak at some of the bodily sensations that can occur.

Taking psychedelics at a young age only presents me with one concern, at that age a person hasn't developed a wide ranging repitore of emotional responses or coping mechanisms to be able to interpret and integrate the things that could be manifested.
On the flip side, if you've haven't suffered a horrible abusive childhood, then chances are you don't have enough emotional crap stored up to come to the surface anyway.

Hey I first took it when I was 14, 1 hit split 3 ways, mild but noticable. At 16 I really tripped on 550+ mics in the form of purple microdot.

 

when I was 13, some clown was spreading rumors that this dude kicked off a electric transformer while tripping on lsd, I couldnt wait to get some that shit.. .. Later found out he was drunk and the acid was shitty, had to take 4 just to get goony bird effect.. (remember goony birds?) ate 6 total in all, it was then my parents said Oh hes on something, cause i was staring into the sky..

 

at first i thought you were talking about a man dressed as a clown.

 

dissagree---14 and older is fine for low level trips---mushrooms preferable---ever seenkids on shoooms--their runing-jumping-slipping-= s;iding laughing screming then there hising---our they is they inna a tizzy somthing cooking is they busy--roling around revolving doors-in the local dinosaurs-=its so amusing--yet so confusiung what are they doing now-------natch

 

Even though I've been tripping since I was 14, I kind of understand what you're getting at. It took a couple of years, but now I know I shouldn't have been altering my brain so much at that age. I dont know if it's just me, but I don't remember being as stupid as the kids who are that age nowadays. It's rediculous how many kids just want to do shrooms, smoke salvia and drop acid without a real reason to. They just want to get "fucked" and not expand their minds, and it's getting to me.

 

My world view gets ripped from me every time I turn my head, fuck!

 

There is one mind shared by many perspectives. If you feel your world view is being ripped off, it is because you had abandoned it in favor of greed. The only thing that can be absent is what you have not given, your thought on world view. Which is obviously absent from your post.

 

I meant, every time I turn my head, my view literally changes.

 

So a salutary Fuck!! then.

 

We had a saying back in my acidic teenage days...
"Silly adult, trips are for kids"

 

I respect this.

 

+1

There is another responsible drug user on this forum?!?!? I thought they went extinct!

 

ahahaha

 

had i known that acid would be so scarce when I got older, I would of stocked up on it when I was a teen..

 

After having seen a friend of mine gradually lose his minds because of psyche's I have to agree. I think sometimes there's just too much novelty put on tripping, and these day's my fellow young people are not looking at it as a spiritual experience at all. They just wanna get high. I like to get more out of my hallucinogens than just getting high.

 

Teens are the times you should trip. Your mind is still free and random.

 

Seriously, I'm 15 and Ihave zero interst. There's all these kids at my school wwho're zonked out and I'm like, "Whatever, dude, you're such a loser, you're missing out on your life here." And then I turn to my friiend: "That is why I don't date."
