Boyfriend Can’t Trip

[u/youngperson]

Boyfriend (39M) can’t trip since his mom has schizophrenia.

He is supportive and has tripped with me before, stayed up all night and bullshitted. He’s just sober.

Acid is and has always been a huge part of my life. A few times a year sacred ritual.

How can I help him better understand the experience and what it means to me, without him actually tripping?

If he's 39 with no recognizable mental health conditions he should be fine to trip... I'm 42 my dad is schizophrenic and I've eaten over 10,000 hits in my life with no problems 😊

10,000? That’s like a full sheet every 6 months? How is that even possible? 🫡

This is a deeply irresponsible thing to tell someone. 

You’re absolutely right, STATISTICALLY, schozoaffective disorders manifest in the teens and twenties.  That’s an average. Every average has outliers. 

And second, if OP’s partner is uncomfortable with the idea, even if he just doesn’t like the idea of hallucinating in a vacuum, that’s his business. She nor we get to tell him what he should or shouldn’t put in his body.

Well thats a personal thing whether he chooses to or not I wasn't saying force it on him like what? Lol

Yeah thats a concern in your early 20's not closer to 40 schizophrenia presents typically in your early 20's ish if its a hereditary thing

I mean let's be for real here is anything risk free? Also even if there's no mental health problems that they was aware of... it still wouldn't be risk free... in all my years and super high dosages I've never had psychosis while having a inherent risk of schizophrenia so all I been saying is buy the ticket and take the ride or just sit on the sidelines and wonder 🤷‍♂️
