Has it ever been known for people to trip so much it looses its magic almost totally? like xtc...wether you take lsd, shrooms, 2ce or any other psychadelic...i mean the clouds and trees can only dance so much...

ugh I think you underestimate a high dose trip man. Seriously.

If that ever became ... dull ... well, pack my bags, cause I may as well put a bullet in my head. There's no mountain left to climb, as they say.

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



HEy. See my history and see where I have come from. I did a lot of acid in the 90's and mushrooms a few times, but didn't do anything for like 18 years or so until this site helped me to grow my own. I quit alcohol because of mushrooms. They have literally saved my life a couple times with their antidepressant properties, and I have found out so much about myself. I am 47 years old. I see myself tripping until I die.

:grin:  I saw the date and thought - this person is in his mid-late 50's now. Is he still tripping?

I turned 58 recently and almost never trip. But I think about it all the time. The thrill and mystery has always stayed with me. It's like I don't even need to trip. The experience is in my thoughts all the time.

Soon I will retire. The kids are both moving out and it will be just my wife and I. We plan to buy a place in a shore town and I look forward to growing again and spending time by the ocean. Things are hectic in my life right now. Once that's all gone I'll be able to enjoy some peaceful tripping like I did before adult life began.

I only started intentionally tripping recently and I'm 55. It's one of the best things to ever come into my life in that it has really helped me get my head in order. Not to mention that I love it in ways that I just can't describe, it's fantastic, cosmic and I feel so freaking connected during and after. After chasing higher and higher doses, I've moved over to low doses and found another side to mushrooms, same drug but it seems completely different.

I had triping phases in my early 20s, mid 20s, early 30s and now 5 years later.
I think you cannot be very enthusiastic about it all the time, that would be too taxing for me at least. That's why I have phases in which I am more entusiastic again and some pauses in between.
The trips in my early 20s were wasted in group settings where everybody talks about their experience how crazy it is and what they see etc. The solo trips were fearful because of an existencial crisis and other shit going on in my life (man do I not want to be 20 again, no thanks! :dislike:  )
At a later age and alone you may have deeper trips so that it can seem like a different drug to you.
So definitely worth it to try shrooms again at 40, 50 whatever.

Right, I don't think age is a barrier, as long as you generally healthy. I recall an interview with Albert Hoffman when he in 90's and he said he would take low amounts of LSD occasionally in his 80s. Actually as one ages they tend to get in a rut, and an occasional trip is a great reset.

My first trips were in the early 80's lsd then mushrooms, then E's .I'm into my 50's and never thought i would do trips again after quitting everything ,coke weed, then after one too many hangovers i quit the DRINK for good! Mushrooms are a treat and no dirty feelings afterwards..

Do what you want when you want,never say never, but moderation is the key...

As someone a good bit over 40 I like how this thread was dormant for 15 years and then was revived, possibly purposefully.

Like many others I trip a lot now and with greater purpose and impact than when I was young. No idea if that will continue for decades...

Hi, I revived the thread to show yes it is a life long interest for some. I was the Original Poster and logged back in for the first time in over 10 years and was happy my account was still active. I forgot I even made this post until I looked at my history. I thought others would find it inspiring.

Since you decided to revive this old thread, here is my contribution. I'm 58, first time I tripped was two years ago. I never did any illegal drug. Got drunk only a handful of times back in college but I rarely drink more than one beer. I don't smoke and gave up caffeine a few years ago (I know, how boring). I haven't even smoked weed (yet). I did the mushies because of depression but I had always been intrigued by psychedelics before. I  guess depression was a good excuse to try. Some trips have been good, others not so good but they always help my depression. Nonetheless, I always look forward to my next therapy (once every 1-3 months). I don't see an upper age limit on tripping, although now I see myself better able to deal with my depression even if I cannot trip (work and family life don't let me trip when I want/need to). Who knows, maybe a time will come when I don't need to trip anymore, but if I have to, I will welcome every chance to trip.

    So how has life gone during the past 15 years? Are you still journeying with psychedelics at all?

Hi, well I tried again, but my 10 year old stash seems pretty weak. I have been so busy that I didn't have the time. Then I got Covid and lost my smell/taste for 8 months or so (fully for a month then about 75% came back).  I've been reading that shrooms have been helping people recover their smell/taste back. So I want to go on some low dose and micro dose for a bit. Also I've hearing that a trip can help older folks out of a rut, so I want to do some higher dosage ones as well again

you are still pretty young
oh, and I did find 1p-lsd is available openly, and I do a kind of microdosing regularly which is really good (12ug every 3rd day or so and occasionally more)

I resemble that remark although my choice is cocaine.  :-)

(Mushrooms, acid will do if the first choice is unavailable.)
