Giving old people DMT?

[irenic]

Hello everyone,

I was just wondering whether it would be safe to give a person who is 65 or so some pharmahuasca or vaped dmt.


Many thanks and with much love,

Well, have they tried any other psychedelics? If they haven't, then I wouldn't give them DMT. Start them off slow, with low doses first, if anything.

you also might want to make sure they dont have any heart or blood pressure problems or conditions

Especially if they have a history of heart attacks.

If someone 65+ researched and extracted for themself, I wouldn't stop them. But I certainly would not try to talk them into it.

Proceed cautiously, expect heart rate elevation and be sure they aren't taking medications that would harmfully interact with the spice

Yeah, as most of the above have said, if there aren't any heart conditions or high blood pressure issues, and the elder has done his homework on the subject, I see no reason why it would be harmful.

I will say that it purely depends on their health condition and readiness - in no way would I surprise them with it.
The man that introduced me to DMT was 73 years old, been smoking it for quite some time.

Thanks everyone, I think I may introduce him to mushroom first and proceed from there. He's been asking me alot of questions about my experiences with psychedelics and I'm starting to get the idea that he wants to do a session with me.
