At the ripe old age of 58? Any of you whippersnappers more ancient?

There was a VICE interview, which made reference to a Vendor who was 66.

You can work a computer?!

Ha! Joking of course! Glad to have you here. I'm half your age (maybe a bit less!) but I feel pretty old too.

he he cheers to that Thedanfan
I myself have past 40 and even that feels old sometimes - especially in the forums.

Actually sometimes I feel like a split personality - I have two daughters in their early teens and am trying to
be the responsible father and teach them to be careful (I have skipped "avoid" that would taste too bad in my mouth)
and not end up in some drug problem.
Hilariously enough I am ordering C on SR pretty often and I must say after finding SR and rediscover good quality C like I used to get in the streets
in the late 80's - I do enjoy my high and my anonymity.
Even more I enjoy when the mailman arrives :-) my new best friend.

Funny story - some months ago I was getting back from a meeting and the police had stopped a car up the hill where I live - 6 officers tearing a Porsche Cayenne apart obviously
looking for drugs and my mailman passed in the same moment and delivered 20 minutes later a nice delivery with C - muhahahaha

SR really cracks me up sometimes.

I'm less than half your age! But I hope I'll be that awesome 70 year old in the nursing home that still gets mail from SR and smokes weed before/after dinner! ;D

I have a 67-year-old friend who uses the site. But I don't know his handle on here, and neither does he know mine. And he probably doesn't come to the forums other than to check the rumor mill. Me, I'm 42.

You got the drop on me by 7 years, thedanfan, so I feel quite sprightly now! I got involved with SR because my new girl who is quite a bit younger than me wanted to try acid. I don't know ANYONE who sells ANYTHING these days. But some careful research and a steep learning curve and SR had what I wanted it and it blew her mind.

Saw a great T shirt the other day, the print was a photo from an American festival, late 60's/early 70's, some folks at a festival with a hand-made sign advertising acid at $1 a tab! Wonder if you remember anything similar from your youth? (don't know where you live of course!)

Keep rocking the Road, I know I will!

Take care.

When I was younger and in college pot was so plentiful you could find it everywhere.  Now I'm in my late 40's and its a different story.  All the people I meet are very "square".  They're ok people, but scoring is near impossible.

I remember when acid was roughly $7 a tab.  It would sometimes be $10 but no one would pay that unless they were sure it was really really good.  $5 was common too.  If you were at a Dead show it was practically free.

For discgolfking,

To quote the late great Vivian Stanshall, as Sir Henry at Rawlinson End (obscure, check it out) -

"If I had all the money I'd spent on drink, I'd spend it on drink."

Take care.

Me im 43, SR is great, my last dealer in "the real world" was 20 and you know when you are getting old when the cops and your dealer start looking young!  Here I have no idea if I am buying from some 18yr old geek or the grandma up the road with an attic full of weed...love it!

What is good about SR is that is does not discriminate who can use it or not. Anyone from anywhere in the world, no matter what age a person is or lifestyle decisions that person made. This place is one of the few safe havens this world has. You can get coke that takes you back to the 80's or just discover coke like this for the first time. What a magical place. Good luck to you!

Heh, so, me too, I'm now nearer 50 than 40 years old... I supposed there were more people around this age here but didnt think we'd be so many :)

I agree with many things some of you said, for me it's also great the idea of being able to get my hands on any kind of stuff, but with a time delay, to help with possible abuse... Also the waiting for the mail makes me feel like  a kid again waiting for some toy I had ordered, it's all very emotional, clear, and oh so convenient!

i would think SR would attract older people because as you get older it gets harder to deal with getting screwed around.

i'm getting too old to deal with all the shit that goes on.....i'm willing to pay a bit more on SR just so i don't have to catch cabs all over town chasing stuff up.

If you were at a Dead show it was practically free.

Summer of '90, a sweet dreadlocked hippie girl at shakedown sold me an entire sheet of 100 blue unicorns, still dripping, so strong I got high just handling it - $60 for the sheet.  Literally the best money I ever spent.  That sheet kept me and my friends tripping for the next year.

there are  also people ( like me) that are here to get stuff that one can't find in one's country.

Oh and now I remember these past days I've read a few messages from a guy who's trying to score some lsd, told how he was able to get here and get some btc, and he says  he's about to become 80! So I think he has to be the record here, or very close!

i don't feel comfortable hanging with space cadets whilst waiting for my "man" in the street or at peoples homes anymore.

i've been to prison & served a decent time in max security which has made me sensitive to the way some users act by bringing attention to me.

some dealers stand out & i don't like having to take the risk they're being watched.

i'm also just lazier as i get older, i just cbf playing the game, i'd sooner pay a bit more to do it the SR way

I am within a couple years of 50, I have been surprised by the number of "older" folks replying to this thread. I think the overall demographic of SR is the younger gen. I remember going in on sheets of Orange Sunshine LSD for about $150-175 in the early eighties. They were around 125-150 uG per blotter. The 2000's has been such a dry period for me, I have had to grow my own shrooms and Poppies and extract my own DMT crystals. Now I just have to get BTCs!!! And I have it all, so fucking wonderful!

Thanks to DPR and all of the other SR folks!

I would guess that highly paid urban professionals are fairly well-represented on SR.  Wall Street types, lawyers, and other professionals who are willing to pay a premium for high quality and low hassle.

I'm just over 50 but feel like 35.

But am relatively new.

Weirdest thing, I was and am a rebel, but when in my late teens/early 20's I never ever took any type of drug or med; all my mates were doing coke, speed, acid, weed, and I was cool with that but felt that even taking an aspirin for headache would fuck my body up.

Only just 8 years ago after a long shitty time with depression (various non-effective AD's), a massive relationship break-up, etc, I decided, fuck it, I'm having some benzios and space cakes, and had mdma...loved it

But I had my first opioids and shrooms only last month...so I guess the question is, am I 'old' for a newcomer to these?

Yes :)

Disclaimer: I may or may not know any 40-something professionals and the above is simply a random opinion. Or maybe I do.

I'm 53 but still a newb!! That is if you take this 50+ posts bullshit seriously which I do not. Apart from that bullshit very happy with the road. Came here because I was over meeting with dealers in my local town that were shonks, assholes, degenerates and selling crap weed. The anonymity appeals to me also.
