Psychedelics and Older people: Can people that are past 70 use?

[ZonSun]

Hey everyone,

Me and my father are like best friends, he is very liberal and openminded, he knows about my trips and doesn't interfere with my life, not only that but he shows interest in the experiences and is a very good trip sitter. He has stated many times that he would like to try Dmt.

He quit using many years ago, he did not use much tried weed, but he quit nicotine and alcohol. He has heart and lung problems, so I feel concerned if he couldn't handle it.

What is your opinion on this matter?

Should I allow him to smoke some enhanced leaf or not?

If you or him are too concerned, it would be advised no. Even if nothing physically happens, the underlying fear can manifest negatively in the trip. ie the whole trip could be a loop of fear that his body can’t take it.

I would equate the most physical symptoms I’ve gotten from smoalking to running up a hill. Heart got pumping, sweating, my breathes got a little faster.

I agree, given the naturr of DMT to amplify anything that is thought or felt, if there is an underlying worry strong enough there may be an outcome to the effect tnat Metamorpheus described.

I'm not a health expert. However, it might be a good idea to start him off at a really low dosage like 10mg. Small enough to produce an effect, but not too much intensity. He may not have too much going on with CEVs or OEVs, but it call still be a beautiful experience. Provided how that goes, SLOWLY scale up from there. Perhapa by 2mg to 5mg.

One love.

i would like it to be ok and safe, in my experience its too hard even for a 20 year old heart,

Yeah I won't even bother, he has experienced a lot and I don't think he would handle it well.

He is advised against strenuous activity because of heart problems.

Powerful statement.
