Do psychedelics take longer to recover from as you get older?

I used to be able to take high doses of psychedelics, and be 100% recovered by the 2nd day. 1 day of hangover, at the most. Now, it's been four days since my last trip, but I still feel out of it and spacey. I also feel better than I have in years, but there's still this spaceyness that has stayed with me for four days.
I've done psychedelics four times recently. This week, it was 4-aco-met. Last week 4-ho-mipt. A few weeks before that, 4-aco-dmt. A couple months before that, 2CE. This doesn't seem like a lot of tripping compared to the summer where I was using every week and sometimes twice a week. Yet, I feel much more hung over now than I ever did then. Again, it's not all bad. I feel better than I have in years, but still spacey and out of it. The effects are going down, I imagine in a week or so they'll be mostly gone, but that's a lot longer than it used to take.
Does the length of recovery time change as you get older? I'd especially like to hear from some of you 30+ year old members.

I'm 33 and I can attest to this. I don't think it's uncommon. Metabolism slows down as we get older, and when metabolism slows down all our biological processes slow down. It seems reasonable to suppose this would affect the return to homeostasis.

I've definitely heard that it takes longer. Some members would trip multiple times a week but now they can only do it a few times a year
