Last year I worked at a high-end smartshop in Amsterdam and I had the opportunity to talk to many types of people who wanted to try psychedelics for the first time (or 1000th time).
I met people of all kinds.
Young people trying to have a deeply meaninful trip; elder people trying to rediscover the fun spirit; people trying to understand life and death; and many many many demographics.
Really, everybody is interested in having a psychedelic experience.
It seems like the substance is only there to add context and allow for very deep instrospection and wild external adventures.
Cool article.
