At what age would you reccomend starting Psychedelics?

Best age for eating mushrooms probably 16-18. Though, your brain is still growing so, I'm not sure. I ate my first mushroom when I was 17.

Ego death is when the being that is built by experience and perception ceases to exist and all that remains is who you truely are.

Addictive? Anything is addictive, the key is moderation.

Fun? Psychedelics aren't "fun". They are keys that open your mind to the boundless untold dimension of light and sound. (Haha, of course its fun, but these plants can not be abbused. If they are, then you will be at risk)

 

whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa I had to catch this . . . dude me and about 90% of this freaking forum would beg to differ.

they are hella fun don't deify them! that is one of the traps

 

I tripped the fist time earlier this year around feb. and to my experience, I think that just the feeling of trippin' is addictive not the actual drugs

 

yeah don't fall in the trap of accidentally taking them seriously and using them for healing or gaining direction in life. we wouldn't want you to mistakenly grow into a more aware human being and actualize your hidden spiritual potential.

 

I'd say acid is more of a mind opening high for me...

 

I started psychedelics when I was 16.

I think I may have had a little taste of ego death .. would this be considered ego death..

.. First it all began when I was listening and watching a conversation of my two friends (one was tripping and the other was high). I then began to think they were making fun of me and eventually forgot about me. I was imagining myself as a ghost and watching my two friends living happily without me. I then moved myself into a room by myself where i forgot who i was and i thought my friends were taking me to the hospital (which was never the case), then i forgot who my friends were, where we were, and i had no idea i took acid or what acid was. Then i could not understand what anyone was saying, no one was making sense to me... ????

 

Nice troll but I didn't say anything like that. I just said don't take the view that psychedelics are never fun. MOST people start taking psychedelics as a way to get fucked up, or for fun. It is only -after- they have dosed that they realize the immense use these substances have. There's nothing wrong with using a hammer as a toy before you realize you can build things with it.

Don't deify the hammer, and don't ridicule the hammer.

 

that's somewhat like what i was gonna say but i thought it was going to start a troll in itself :cheers2:

 

I started when I was 14..
Haven't felt anything negative come out of it yet. I think it all depends on the person, and the purpose for doing the drug. If your just doing psychedelics to egt fucked up, it might not be the best of ideas.

 

I would say start if you feal you are ready; keep in mind that it could change your perception of everything. It could change everything you believe to be true about yourself. It can be alot of fun, and can also be extremly enlightening. It's good to have a balance. Go into it happy, looking forward to learning, with a open mind and you will have a good chance that it ends up being a really good experience.

I started at 15. I was happy with that. I still am.

 

your ready when you think your ready if your asking this question your not ready

 

^^truth is if someone has never tripped, they have absolutly no idea if their ready or not.


who knows really, id say your ready when you find them and take them.

 

Lord of the Rings was AWESOME, and it took up just about the whole trip

But i would say you are ready as soon as you realize that you are your own self and have learned to think for yourself. So around 18 or so, Sr. in highschool or starting college. But if you just want to trip and get fucked up (get ready for a bad one eventually) then that can happen whenever.

 

i dont get it, who says they cant be both?

 

I'd say 18, and the VERY least.

 

I don't think physical age is relevant. Mental maturity, stability and open-mindedness are.
