Age- When was your first trip?

[AcidBassist]

T'was the summer of '98. And some damn good 'cid as I recall.

[MrMycelium]

I was 15, One summer night a friend handed me a bag of mushys, and said eat up. Loved them ever sense.

[ShroomShaman]

I was 15 my first trip & i was dosed up unknowingly with liquid LSD on a chocolate sunday while i was in the bathroom @ the restaurant . talk about exciting!

[wildburr]

Was 1981 and I was 14, what a cool Mushie trip it was. Stayed up all night watching MTV when it first started and ran no commercials.

[ethnobotanica]

1991. It was an 8 ball blotter and I was 16. Discovered Black Sabbath and witnessed my "macho" "so called pal"(he was a bully and a thief) spill his deeply insecure subconcious all over the place, he was shit scared while I was loving it. Saw fractals and everything.
A truly enlightening experience

[WHITE RABBIT]

It was about 13 for me. We picked them fresh out of shit. My buddy lived next to a cow pasture. We drank wayyyy to much tea.

[Scroto Baggins]

Believe it or not, ten years old. Stayed home "sick" with my older brother (either 14 or 15 at the time) and did about 2.75g of mushrooms. Had a bad trip, but I came to my senses eventually and was fine. I did LSD later that same year and frankly it was a lot more "user-friendly" for a new tripper in my opinion. Yea, it was stupid and I don't recommend that kinda irresponsible shit being done by anyone but on the other hand I look at myself today and don't think I'm fucked up in anyway because of it. To each their own.

[Leary's Ghost]

[eyeslikedonuts]

My first mushroom experience was in the summer of 1998, I was 16. I bought an 1/8th and promptly stuffed them all down my throat. Probably not the smartest thing but what the hell, it was a great experience. peace, e

[ded]

I was 15, LSD was my first, weed, mush third

[lysergic]

Was 19 when i first ate mushrooms, 20 when i first ate acid.

[mydarling]

hmm. 19 i think for shrooms & 20 for lsd. lys, we match

[bluethumb]

19-20ishback in tha day. i ate 7+ grams dry (PF i believe) given to me by a good friend (u know who u r and thanx) i had lots of previous experience w/ cid so i think i handled it pretty well. it also helped that he babysat me through the whole thing. we spent most of the night in the lobby of the apartment building i lived in at the time since my roomie didn't like cigarette smoke. i remember that at a certain point we went to explore the basement ,and i wound up spreading out on the cold hard cement floor for some reason just takin in the waves...yeah it was fun

[hanuman]

1993 on LSD. Amazing!

[weeeeeee]

dosed for first time the summer before entering highschool i would later realize that that was some of the cleanest fluffiest most colorful i would ever get my hands on so that is 13-14.....and my mind would never be the same hahahaha
it was humbling experience to say the least

[TastyBeverage]

First shroom trip was (i think) the summer right after i turned 20. I say i think because i tried a lot of things for the first time that summer including X and nitrous and i can't quite remember the time lines.

I didn't try acid until at least the summer after that, because the idea of it kind of freaked me out for a while. Now i like it more though.

[DarkLestor]

I had just turned 16.

damn, what a fun year

[greenthumb111]

I was 18-19 in the Army and it was 1974-1975

[feralronin]

my first time was in 2000 freshman year of college. guess i was 18ish. got my hands on a few grams of shroom.

[Jane]

first time Acid 1996, I was 36. It was funny.
but the best was shrooms in (first time) 1999, now that was the business! I got to places I never knew existed. Lived in Amsterdam for 10yrs from 96, so once I DISCOVerED SHROOMS, it was real easy to get them from smart shops. so whenever I fancied a trip, they were always available and good choice as well. I get back to UK in 06 I'm told shrooms are banned from previous year, and I really do fancy a trip! am going to try the aminata later this year since I know where to get them. I'll also hunt the Famous liberty caps, if anyone knows where they are in Dorset or Hampshire (new forest) let me know........haha surely there must be enough to go around! pretty please........from someone who badly misses Amsterdam-ah those were the days!

[InsaneKenneth]

I was 16 when I first had mushrooms. I had just got my taxes, so I bought an ounce. anyways, I took the biggest cap, it was like a third of the bag, and i let all the others split whatever was left. This wasnt your everyday cap, the thing was HUGE, I compare it to a double whopper with cheese!!!!
we were sitting there quietly waiting for it to kick in, when the cops came knocking at the door! They wanted to talk to some neighbor kid who was hanging out with us. as soon as they knocked, the shrooms kicked in and I freaked out and ran into a bedroom and hid in the closet.
I stayed in that closet for hours, just paranoid as hell, and I swear the walls were breathing, and there was a plaid pattern bleeding down the walls. Freaky. then everyone else was having this fun time, playing outside with glowsticks, but I was scared to come out of that closet, and I remember telling them "dont go out there, it isnt safe!" I was tripping balls.
That was the wierdest night of my whole life. Ive tried a bunch of different psychedelics, but none of them have made me nearly as crazy as that gigantic mushroom.

I was 17 in 2007

[silverface]

I believe I was 15 years old when I took my first hit of acid. It was on blue blotter paper. I remember staring into a McDonalds bathroom mirror for quite some time as my face turned purple. I ended up going home and waving my hand infront of the TV. My fingers kept getting longer and longer. It was great!!! About a year later a buddy gave me a gallon freezer bag of fresh wild mushies. Me being young and stupid I ate way too many for a first time mushy experience. So I ate em up and out the door I went to go on a date with an older girl. I was to young to drive so she picked me up in a little Suzuki Sidekick with no top. About 2 hours later her face was melting off of her head and the wind in my face was kicking my ass. All I could think about was, I'm on a date with this person and I really can't even see her. Very uncomfortable. Lets just say I didnt get laid that night.

[Psilo-somatic]

I was 11 when I was given Acid withpout my knowledge in a pot brownie. When I intentionally started using mushies and LSD when I was 13, I realized what I was given those years ago. One of the most intense religious/ mystical experiences of my life. beautiful...

[nodnarb1978]

I grew up in Contra Costa county Ca I had plenty of Shulgin toys!

[Fun-Guy]

[Irishlion]

[georgeg]

Owsley acid 1967. I was 17 years old. Me and a couple members of the band dropped acid and I was in a bedroom upstairs when the linoleum started to flow. We drove around at night with our headlights off and then turned them on again to flash on everything.

[Sillycyber]

I was 17 and I ate 1 hit of some pretty good dose and ate a half 1/8, it was amazing, then scary, then amazing. Never looked at the carpet the same after that.

[cheech]

i did lsd for my first trip. that was way back in 1967. i ate 3/4 hit of real purple haze. nothing has been the same since.

[cym]

[captmaui]

[eatyualive]

used to go picking when i was 15. good times!

[Myc]

Alway wanted to try them but 'cid, Ex, and other things seemed to be more readily available.
Matter of fact, they're so scarce that the third time I did them......I cultivated them myself!

I would have to say that of all the drugs I've ever done....'Shrooms and good 'ol Vitamin A are the only ones which have had a lasting, positive effect on my life.

[roc]

Too old to remember but I think it was 1969 and I was still a teenie bopper that hung with the big boys fresh back from Nam.
Oh those were the days... first time I raided mom's medicine cabinet I got on the old sting ray bike and headed into town - never made it that day - got real dizzy and had to crash in the drainage ditch for a while. When I woke up I had no idea what day it was... boy did I get in trouble.
Setting in jr high one day and got called out of the room, it was the mom and step dad, first bust! Took me to the principals office and they wanted to know where all the pills were.

[MizKaos]

[leed25d]

[cuts]

[grok]

I just got finished reading 'recreational drugs' (by Prof. Buzz)
I was a bit of a geek (hell still am) and liked to research shit. LSD seriously peaked my interest. "Mind altering" sounded right up my alley, I -really- didn't like where my head was at back then [raised in a crazy back-asswards christian 'type' religion kinda warped me and I was desperately trying to shed all the crap that had been installed in my head like some dogdamned virus.]


Up until that point the closest I'd gotten was smoking some pot when I was wasted (drinking w/ my native bro. in law snowmobiling)


So I went downtown .. found a local punk kid (with a green mohawk if I remember right) and offered to buy him a hit if he'd get one for me. Sure enough he hooked me up.

Some plain white blotter. Looking back on it, it was good clean stuff.

After wandering around and hitting a bar I for a bit I was starting to trip right when the bars were closing and everybody headed off, so I wandered around alone and got lost down town (didn't really care)

The most memorable part of the trip when one of those sweeper trucks was going by and the noise of it turned into crazy metal-esque music..
Standing there listening to the music, I felt elevated and one with everything and thinking 'this is what jesus/budha/god is'

After that it was like a mental exploration.. faces of people who'd influenced me... 'programmed' me if you would would appear in my mind along with the b/s that they'd planted in there, allowing me to identify & therefor help remove their influence from my thoughts
..

Anywasy


I wonder how screwed up I'd still be without that experience, lost in that maze of shit.

[twoguysupnorth]

shit, i thought i answered already. guess not. 1989 on purple jelly tabs 11th grade was my first acid trip. i didnt get to try mushrooms untill 1992 on shakedown street in pontiac. good good times, just ask the smack-um sucker,lol.

[morbidangel]

i was 12 my first time

[sagiboy]

17. was an asshole before acid.
extazy few month before that... cried the whole trip. couldnt be better for my inner world... just to realize how sad i was and full of haterit towards myself and life generally...
(havent did extazy since 18yo (did E ~10 time) acid every 2-3 months since)

ive opened my eyes. all i want now in life is just to be a better man.
no money, no power, even not love (though it everything), just being a decent human being...

1 strong trip = better than life time at the shrink. (mum is shrink, dislike them since age 10 when they first took me to one...)

[seedlessstinky1]

1999, I was thirteen and ate an 1/8th of shrooms, fell in love with em.

[phineas]

1978
