Are your trips over 50 radically different than when you were younger?

you know it is strange... I don't know if I know anybody at that age that is an active tripper. I do however know lots of people in that age range that did regularly trip sometime in thier life.

Swim is Turning 50 this summer:(. When your responsibilty level is higher(wife, kids, house, job)and you have seen a lot more of life, the tendency is to be more cautious with dosage. Swim would be very hesitant if not refuse to take high dosages, especially shrooms which can really dig into your conscious. He may be more risky with mescaline, but that remains to be seen. As far as LSD, SWIM never sees it. When you don't go to festivals and concerts anymore and have to hang with mostly semi-straight peeps, your access is limited. As far as the experience itself, He thinks setting becomes far more important. To really let go, got to be out in nature, camping, backpacking, with the buds who accept that it is still ok to check out of reality for awhile. No way would SWIM ever tell the wife that he delves into altered states, or try to trip around her. She would wonder about his mental state even more so than she already does, but that is what you get with a straight wife. Not that she didn't experiment with drugs when younger herself. The other interesting fact SWIM has noticed is that as times goes by, fewer and fewer women of his generation like to party(other than alcohol)and they seem to discourage exploration. SWIM misses being young and carefree, it definitely makes having fun and letting go less complicated.

I can see myself wanting to trip when I'm older. Just like how Hoffman got his wife to give him a dose of LSD while he died. It must have been an amazing way to leave, a dignified end. If you're older you wouldnt have to worry so much about the negative effects on your health much either - I mean who cares if you lose a point or two of IQ when you're 80. 
Getting hold of them when you're older would obviously be a problem as SWIM says. I spose mushies are good in that they can be stealth grown.
I think it would be really nice to sit atop a mountain at 80, looking back and thinking how great life's been, pop a few caps and meld with the universe. If fact - if you guys are still here I'll write up a trip report and tell you how it goes.

If you havent seen it - its awesome. "LSD - the beyond within" I think.

Real 80's, but its a very balanced/scientific documentary, with some funny footage - like soldiers marching while given acid.

Blindlemon, she may trip when you marry her, but what about 10-15 years down the road, after kids. Somehow/sometimes that woman you married decides that tripping is not cool anymore.

Well I havent made it to 50 yet, I,m now 48. I probably only average around 5 trips now a year. For me the 2 differences seem to be that the older I get, the easier it is on the mind. But at the time, it takes my body a couple of days to get back to normal

what do you think of this idea: I never wanted to leave this dimension with tubes up my nose,with doctors or heart monitors. I dont want to fade away in a nursing home. Why do that? No,when i feel my life is winding down,losing my capability to fend for myself,im going into fucking hyperspace man. Im buying the ticket,taking the last great magical cosmic ride deep inside. Astral Suicide is where its at for me.
ANyone know any good ideas bout how to kill yourself with a large amount of hallucinogens? or should i just go deep in the woods,lock myself to a tree,throw away the key,and just keep eating drugs until i die,definaetly good idea to get some heroin or something for this plan.
a god's death,as I see it no sniveling decomposing weasel on a hospital bed. What a shameful denial of natural processes. You were prolly supposed to die of the flu 40 years ago,haha. Do you know how much money is spent keeping near dead people,nearly alive? Thats a costly denial. get over it. Choose your death!You will die! preferably before you get alzheimers and cant even remember who you are.

actually going completely insane is also a cool idea. that way at least its like im an "Agent" from another dimension in this world,collecting my own "data",whatever that wierdness may be.
Dimensionality Agent
thats how I always saw the mentally challenged or vegetablized,they are just in a different conscious wavelength good and bad,healthy and unhealthy,are by-products of your definition structure everythign is just different.
for all you know,a 70 year old brain dead man might control the entire world

Yeah guilt does suck when your tripping Blindlemon. Thats why SWIM leaves it for weekend outings with the boys out in the middle of no where. The Mountains of West Virginia are great place to get away from humans. The wife and SWIM have a don't ask don't tell agreement about backpacking trips. She doesn't want to know how crazy it gets.
