FWIW - I never experimented with any drugs when I was younger (high
school and college). Never wanted to, had too many responsibilities,
etc etc.
I am 37 now and am thoroughly enjoying E (MDMA). I don't think I'm
"too old", even though some other people do, I'm sure. I've never
tried a psychadelic, but I don't think you should worry about your
age. If you want to do it - what's the problem?
