How young is too young to trip?
    #18791116 - 09/02/13 05:57 PM (10 years, 4 months ago)

I tripped my first time at the age of 15-16, it was my first mushroom grow.

Now I'm curious what age you guys had your first trip, what substance it was,

And which age you think is proper age to trip, or which  is too young.

Please, && thank you ahead of time for your thoughts.

There is no such thing.
All newborns should have psilocybin extracts ingested immediately.
I however tripped for the first time when I was either 15 or 16.
It was on mushrooms at a big nature preservation that I had numerous childhood field trips to.

I'd say anyone under 16 tripping is too young.

I was thirteen when I had my first trip, but I was also drunk and stoned so I wouldn't really call it my official first trip. First actual experience I'd label as a meaningful trip I was 23. So like a year ago.

Grade 9 someone gave me my first tab of LSD. Turned out to be entirely unprepared. I don't think I could ever recommend psychedelics to people that young. I feared them for years to come after that first horrible trip. Me and psychedelics have since made up :cool:

I think it's too subjective to put a black and white number to it.. It's more about your mentality/maturity.

All I can say for sure is I don't think there are many people under 16 who should be doing it, but that goes both ways.. There are some 'adults' who shouldn't, either.

we all been dreaming all our life.  remember experiences that come close to par when younger that compare with use of substance when on none.  OBE's, sunshine daydreams.

fifteen years old was the first fungi dose.  don't recall any negative effects that would have me say any younger be wrong.  the opening of the mind with such very beneficial to life at that time.  a mind differs from another's, so, couldn't give an age that be o.k.  i think that many have had wonderful positive experience at young ages where one could not say was wrong.  set and setting key.

i tripped the first time when i was 15. i think 18-21 is a more appropriate age. i think if i hadn't had drugs to distract me through high school i most likely would've stayed out of trouble and had gone to college earlier. there are just more important things for kids to be doing and drugs will always be there.

I think kids have absolutely no need for psychedelics. Early adulthood sounds like the best time for a first trip, but maybe I'm just saying that because that's how I did it.

I think under 20 is too young. You need time for your brain to develop.

I think that for all drugs.

I first tripped when I was 17. Looking back it's a bit young IMO, and if I tripped for the first time today, at 20, being immensely more mature than at 17 it would be better. But, then again, I'll probably say I was an immature idiot at 20 when I'm 25

There's also the fact psychedelics helped me a lot to improve, to think about myself, to be honest with myself, to change things I don't like about my life, to work hard towards my goals, to do what I love, and basically getting to know myself. It's been a bumpy road but a beneficial one. So, who knows where I'd be if I hadnt tripped at 17

I don't think there is such a thing as too young to trip. As soon as a human being is able to decide "I want to alter my consciousness" then they are ready. Be it 6 years old or 60.

Did you want to take 'hallucinogens' when you were 6?

I'm pretty sure if somebody told me I could take something that would make me see cool colors and think about life and feel really good I would probably want to try it. especially if somebody I looked up too told me I should


6 year olds are highly impressionable undeveloped people with little life experience to give them a solid perspective on things. you can convince any 6 year old you want that taking acid would be fun,

I doubt most 6 year olds can even grasp the concept of "wanting to change their consciousness"

That's exactly my point. Once that degree of sentience emerges the individual is "ready."

I seriously have to ask because "young people" is a relative term that could apply to almost any age bracket.

"teenagers have horrible judgement and no foresight. "

"People in their twenties have horrible judgement and no foresight. "

"middle age people have horrible judgement and no foresight. "

"elderly people have horrible judgement and no foresight. "

i think context has everything to do with everything. they give ayahuasca to children in south america, but they also have a culture that enables that experience to be easily integrated. there is no such culture in the rest of the world, at least in any mainstream sense of the term. the vast majority of parents will tell you that they're not in any way, shape or form okay with their kids using drugs or alcohol (to a lesser extent). so ideally, without the cultural framework that is necessitated by widespread psychedelic use, especially among minors, the best we can do is to encourage kids to wait until they are older and "on task" with their lives and are stable, productive adults capable of making mature decisions about their substance intake.

Summer before 8th grade (so age 13 for me) I got an older guy who bought me cigs to get me some salvia too. Can't say I was that "changed" by the experience- I smoked too much to where I had amnesia, for anyone familiar with it. A half hour or so later I realized I needed to put away my older brother's bong, and when I went to look for it, I found out I'd broken it. :facepalm:
When explaining what happened, my brother got pissed saying I was too young to be messing around with that, and said he wouldn't get me weed anymore, :mad2: the bastard :lol:


I was still really curious after, but I had put the whole gram into the bowl (wonder why I blacked out, huh?? :rolleyes::facepalm:) and before long I had mostly forgotten about wanting to try it again.


I smoked it a couple years after that and got a deju-vu feeling of having just relived the whole experience. Sometimes now I'll get the same sensation, but usually its towards a more recent trip.


8th grade year though, a friend and I were looking for his brother's weed and found few ounces of shrooms :crazy: we each ate maybe a couple grams worth and I had the most confusing, entertaining, and weirdest night I could ever imagine having :lol:

The majority of which was spent in a small school-bus yellow room in a chair that became increasingly too big for me.


That certainly struck home a lot more than the amnesiac salvia experience did :tongue2:


Found/ate acid the next year (freshman in HS) and dropped a few times that year. More in the first two years of high school than I ever have since. Mushrooms a few times but they started scaring the shit out of me that year.


I think people are just ready when they want to try them-
I don't think it will fuck-up anyones life that wasn't already going to be fucked.
:shrug: just my opinion though.

The people that waited until after high school always seem more affected (and sometimes even get obsessed with which almost never ends well) by the experience than my friends who tripped with me during high school.
Again, just my 2 cents.

I remember having a laugh while reading an old diary entry of mine written when I was 8 years old. I found it amusing because it was more structured and better written than most of what I read these days by full grown, supposedly educated adults.  (even me :lol:)

When I was 8 years old I had no desire to trip, no need for it and I'm absolutely certain if I tried it at that age I wouldn't enjoy it very much. But that doesn't mean there aren't people out there that would benefit from it.

Furthermore eventually I did feel the call of psychedelics so I sought them out. This had nothing to do with my age and everything to do with my own degree of personal development, both intellectually and spiritually.

To suggest that all people below a certain age shouldn't do something just because you feel that you weren't ready at that age is ridiculously close minded.

As far as most of society is concerned nobody, regardless of age should take psychedelics because they make you go crazy, stare at the sun and jump out of windows.

I posted this in your other thread, but it fits here;

He's still just a kid. Maturity aside, his brain is still in the process of development, and will be for several more years. It's better to wait. I first started smoking weed at 15, and my first trip was at 17. Cocaine & opiates also entered my world at 17. It seemed fine at the time, but in retrospect I wish that I would've waited until I was older. I wasn't really ready, and I went off the deep-end. If I could go back & do it all again I'd do it differently.

I've noticed this trend too. As though people that start young are better at integrating and moving on with other things in their life whereas older folks get out of hand and start thinking only about drugs :strokebeard:
