Over 40 and tripping

Hey, after not tripping in about 8 years, and now over 40 I'm thinking about picking it up again. Is tripping over 40 just as fun?
In my early 20's the LSD and Shrooms were done for just for fun. But with maturity, my later voyages were very spirtual. I just feel I could learn some new things but mostly from high dose trips (4 - 5 g.)
Thanks

I say go for it. I'm young but I don't see any reason why you can't have a positive experience now.

I agree with DrGeek, go for it.

I don't think there is any age constriction on tripping. If you feel up for it, go for it. What's the reason that you stopped for 8 years? If the last trip you had was a big catalyst to make you stop...it might be triggered in your next trip. If so, just be ready to deal with some excess mental baggage.

Tripping in my thirties is just fine & I look forward to tripping in my 40s, 50s, 60s etc
Go for it, everyone's mind needs a spring clean every now and then.

Over 40 and still tripping OK. Guess, if I live till 70 I still will be. Last Saturday a friend has fisited me, he's 51 and tripped on shrooms first time in his life. He says he enjoyed it immensely. IMO age doesn't matter much. Only in body load respect maybe. I'm sure you'll have great time!

I think it's quite naive, at a very young age, to say you know for a fact you will still be tripping in 30 years. You won't really know until you get there.
I was a "oh I'll for sure be tripping at 70" kinda guy...but now I'm not so sure anymore.

I agree...it's kinda more fun/exciting now than back then. Ducks-in-a-row= easier to let go when you know everything is taken care of,ie: Safe place, familliar surroundings that you created, only select people you let into your circle, etc. More controlled environment. People over 40!

I quit because I got married, had kids etc.
I also had some hard financial times - but things are just fine now.
I never did trip much in the first place. Less then 20 times between ages 19 and 35.
But I miss it and feel I learn more about myself.
I only did one high dose trip, and it was amazing - I felt one with the universe - I would like to feel that way again.

I'm 45. Married, mortgage, kids, all that jazz. Mr. Responsible. I've always been a lightweight, but amanita muscaria, salvia divinorum, and carmel colored wavy caps every once in a while are quite rewarding. I think age has nothing to do with tripping. I suspect there are many, many old fogeys like myself out here who still enjoy it.
Long may you run.

Fucken A.
Hehehe it's good seeing all these guys who are married and have kids who still do the deed. Excellent stuff.
The way I approach it, as a hobby that I don't allow to intefere with my "professional, public" life, will hopefully allow me to keep doing it until I'm at least 55.
