I couldn't really imagine what my trips would be like when i'm older and wiser.




And with a lot more responsibility, social conditioning, stress from social conditioning and just a lot more general bullshit baggage!

I'm 41 and only tripped twice when I was young (18-20) and both were beautiful, enlightening experiences.  I started again last year because I was tired of the way that I had begun to think and therefore act...like a 40 year old! :smirk: 

I needed a new outlook and knew from past experiences that this was a good place to head into.  BUT all the shit that has piled up in the last 20 years has to get dismantled and reassembled in some people and unfortunitely it appears that I'm one of them.

Guilt, self image, EGO and assorted other little niceities all come to the forefront and I only do small doses for the meantime after having a GREAT first 2 gram trip and figuring that since it was so nice I'd just go ahead and jump up to three...WRONG!  I was not ready for the intensity, had heard about this Ego thing, but didn't quite have a grasp on it.  I sure did after that trip!

I'm by no means saying that you shouldn't trip when you're older, but more like don't ever stop if you start out doing it at a younger age and give all the BS a chance to grow like I did.  See the light when you're old enough to start tripping and hang on to it! :cool:

Schapper,  i think what you've stated is really important.  Hardly anyone will cop to the stuff that you mentioned like EGO and the building up of bullshit that is supposed to be Okay as you get older.  In my humble opinion for what it's worth, it's not Okay and this is why people get unhappy I think.  For the first time in my life at 50 I work in corporate america and man you don't want to do it if you don't have to.  I'm just observing everything and you see so vividly why america looks the way it does today.  w00w :smile:

I am 51 and I can't really say because when I was younger it was mostly good LSD and now it's always shrooms. One big difference is that I don't drink now and when I was younger when I would trip I would usually drink a lot also. I took several years off completely because I thought I was perma-fried. My thinking was that when you go to court on a drug charge tripping things have gotten out of hand. Now I look at each trip as a special event, the way Huxley et. al. did. I think it's better like that.

in my 20s i was dosing more than a few times per month, some summers, heh...

now that i am in my 50s, a few trips in a year is a "busy" year, hehheh...

ymmv...

as to how the trips differ--well, i have more experience behind me (fwiw)...

I'm mid-40's. The only time I get to eat shrooms is at night. Some mexicana-a stones at about 8:30...the family goes to bed, and I go to another world. Wake up refreshed (even though don't usually get to sleep until about 3am). Can't do it very often, though. I still love it.
