If you mean "experienced" in the Jimi Hendrix sense, yeah. I was a teenager in the 70s, and I'm sure there are plenty of younger stackers with even more knowledge. I have both positive and negative memories. I do think that controlled dosing can make all the difference.

I'd already had that idea after the conversation about jimi, but now I'm sure. No one should die without trying it at least once.

I regret not having lived my teenage years in that time, it must have been quite enriching. Wasn't it Jimi who sold his soul to the devil?

I was sort of kidding. I tried a bunch of stuff back then. Some was scary, some beneficial. One thing is for sure, though. It taught me humility. I discovered quickly that I didn't have it all figured out even when I thought I did.
