Age and DMT

[Polonium]

Hi all, I am new to the forum and have finally created an account. I have been researching over the past few days on the chemistry of DMT extraction, DMT itself, alkaloids, acacias, etc and have been fascinated. I have some questions regarding ages and DMT.

1. At what age did you first try DMT?

2. At what age do you think DMT is okay to try?

Would love to hear your thoughts and responses!

Thanks.

I first tried DMT recently, not long after turning 65. When it comes to tripping, I think that the main limitation (for me, at least) is physical rather than mental. I do have extensive experience with psychedelics over the last 50 years, so it was likely easier for me to handle my first experience with the spice than someone my age that has never tripped before.

When you age to the point where you’re taking meds for ongoing physical issues, you need to be much more mindful of when and how often you trip; your body doesn’t recover as easily as it did when you were still young and “bulletproof.”

I recently saw a video where Nick Sand (my personal hero) was asked if he still tripped. It was just a year or two before he passed away in his sleep. He said no, because of health reasons. He’d had a heart attack and had some other medical issues that prevented him from tripping anymore. I suppose we will all get to that point eventually.
