Age to Trip

gahh... that's pretty inconsiderate of him to be putting you in this situation. but obviously he's got something going on so it wouldn't do any good to get mad or anything.

try to talk to him. but keep in mind that at a certain point what he chooses to do isn't (and shouldn't be) your responsibility, you know? but it's hard when you're dealing with a friend and you want to help out and all.

 

A quarter is a fucking lot, even for experienced trippers. If you are his friend don't let him take that much first time out, could go wrong, very wrong.

Smoking too much so young isn't good. I know from experience. Focus on school and shit like that.

But seriously if the shrooms are good quality a quarter is way too much for a first time in my opinion.

 

Yeah,you just turned all green and have these nervous twitches now.

 

yea i get straight a's in school... im not worried about that, i mean healthwise.

And I told him what he's getting into... he doesn't care or realize what he's doing.

Does anybody have any idea what a quarter for a first timer would be like? How should I deal with him?

 

based on what you said about his attitude (never happy, doesn't care what happens), a first time quarter is going to be a disaster.

 

thats what i think, but im gonna just chill at his house and smoke and watch over him... should be interesting convo once its over

 

A first time quarter might be some serious medicine for your friend.
Or some serious confusion. It all depends on how his perspective can shift to accept what happens, IMO.

 

^^ditto^^

I've been doing psychedelics for 30 years and have gotten some decent but average cubes lately. The thought of doing a quarter of those quite frankly would scare the shit outta me. An eighth is about my limit for comfort zone. And I'm geussing I'm a lot better able to handle it then your friend.

Even Terrence McKenna said that about 5 grams was the most for a comfortable experience, and he munched a LOT of shrooms.

 

I'm interested in tripping but for the right reasons honestly I think he doesn't know what hes getting into, he thinks cause some of his drug addict (honestly) older friends do it/have done it that he can too. Now I really want to trip but I don't think Saturday is the night for me.

 

I doubt a 14 year old would possess the emotional maturity and coping skills to handle it well. I would actually rather see him do a few hits of acid instead. Mushrooms can be very unforgiving emotionally.

 

honestly, this is one of the most emotionally unstable kids I know.

 

you're in for an interesting night, turn on the pink floyd and tycho and then see what happens.

 

Speaking for myself I would have been way too young even at 18. I was barely able to "recover from" a psychedelic trip at 23.

your friend might have a very rough ride, with that attitude and that dosage. It could go either way, either he is a changed man after this trip or you have to call the ambulance during it because of his reaction to being confronted with what he is, or anything really. Hopefully the medicine prevails and your friend dies for a few hours, and comes back a bit healthier. do update this thread when you do it.

 

im not calling any ambulance. i'll talk to him if he has too. You think i would have to do so?

 

ambluances should only be called in the most extreme cases when a person is an obvious danger (physically) to themselves or the people around them.

if he's just having a bad trip, crying/confused/having a panic attack, just lay him down in a dimly lit room (maybe with a blanket? lol i dunno your styles) and some chill music. let him know that you're there if he needs to talk or for you to get him something. water helps too, no kidding.

if he's freaking out, be calm even if you're worried. just the simple thing of seeing a calm friend when a trip is getting hard can mean all the difference. if he sees you freaking out about him then he's going to get worse, and it'll feed the loop, you know?

like others have said this may change his whole perspective and may actually help him be happy.

but i think, going into a trip with known baggage, it's going to be painful. that's either a good or a bad thing.

 

at least hes getting to trip and im holding off...

 

my first time was when i was 16, which i still am, and i think it was a perfect time for mee :]

 

if you gotta ask---too young------but at your age i was looking hard for acid any psychedelic------but i did a hella lot of reading about it and couldnt score till 17----why do you wanna do em---peer pressure?

 

Yeah i first did em about 7 months ago (16 and still am) and i'm gonna be tripping tomorrow. got a 3 grams today and so did 2 of my best friends. my other friend's parents are gone tomorrow from noon to 11 at night so we'll just be chillin over there. Im so excited, ever since i first did them i had been anxious to do them again.


And idk what your guys's schools are like when it comes to drugs but there are alot of kids (my age, 16) doing shrooms now. some are starting to even grow em. like after a weekend, you'll hear that a couple kids had some shrooms over the weekend that you would never ever think would ever touch a psychadelic drug.

And what do you guys think of someone selling dime bags for $25? is that a complete rip off or what?

 

Dude.. Bad trips can change your life for the worst.. Not to freak you out or anything.. But if bad enough it can mentally scar you for life.. Something you seen.. The way you felt.. Something you heard... You really need to respect any psychadelic that you or your friends take.. Because if not, You will regret it.
