Holy crap you're old! ....just kidding...down side of 50's here. Age is very much a state of mind if you take care of yourself.

I actually find that life and people including myself tend to get better with age. I mean I hear lots of people in their 50s saying stuff like "age is just a mindset" but actually I think people are measurably better at 50 than they are at 20 or even 30. Just like people are measurably better at 30 than at 18.
But of course, I'm not there yet so I wouldn't really know, what do you think about it? You have more experience with it than I do

There are some people on this forum who are 60+ and still doing shrooms and LSD. Tripping is great at any age.

lol....I know assholes that are 18 and that are 70. IME, life gives you many chances to be either. Some wisdom does come with age and I, for one have definitely calmed down as I get older.
One thing is for sure...the older I get, the less I believe I actually know. This can be both liberating and frustrating.

Yepp, and i think it's the proper age to be really settled in life, know how things run and enjoy seeing things from a different side. And who knows... every expereince can be your last... jk

I tripped constantly from 16-22. Started again at 49, now I'm 52. So glad I returned. So glad that you can order spores and jars online without breaking laws.

Started an interest in altered states at 14, and starting tripping at 15. Been through a lot of shit and made it out fine. In hind sight though I say 21 is the right age to start tripping, but your never to old to start.

If I had to guess I would say 30 is young compared to the vast majority of the psychonauts.

60 years old this month. Started researching at 10 yrs old (yes 10 yrs old. I was a curious child and read everything i could find on drugs especially LSD. Yeah i was a weird kid). First trip at 16 (ahh the LSD of the 70's). Still trip at lest 4-5 times a year mostly shrooms. Lucy has been expensive and weak since the 90's and most RC's just don't have the sparkle of L or shrooms and most have unwanted side effects or toxicity issues (except for a few gems DOM, DOB, 2CB and the new LSD analogs). Thank God L is finally getting back to the dosages of the 70's (200-300ug and at reasonable prices).

You're never too old to trip. It's only too late when you're dead and buried. Get out there and trip

I think I would have enjoyed entheogenics in general better if I started at an older age, the young mind can be fairly susceptible to the negative side of psychedelics.

I wouldn't say negative, but the young mind can be far more naive or just easily confused. So the experience may seem more random and maybe frightening. There were times when I was young and tripping it would feel like i was going insane or something. Now when I trip and those same feelings that made me think that come on I don't interpret them as a feeling of psychosis and can almost understand more of what is happening to me. Its hard to explain but that could just be due to experience with psychedelic drugs and not a matter of age.

I like this! It's a good sign. It means your still learning which I believe is the key to staying young. When you stop learning you start getting old.
In terms of OP, I've got 8 years on you and don't have any plans to stop tripping any time soon
-------------------- I'd like to think I'm smart enough to realize how much knowledge I don't have.

....I'm 43.... and I trip harder than 90% of the people on here and I do it every two weeks and have been for almost 2 years!. My trips are so much better and meaningful than they were when I was younger and I've learned so much and it's just become a ritualistic thing in my life style
