Doing yokes at fifty

Dante7 · 07-09-2019 10:53PM #1

I'm getting on in years, but have decided that before I really put the the feet up I'd like to have another session. No interest in coke. Was talking to a few similarly aged friends of both sexes and they also seem eager. Something like an Underworld gig would be great.

Any other people in their late forties or early fifties who wouldn't mind another session?

I don't understand

Can I ride with you in your B.M.W?
You can sail with me in my yellow submarine

Lil Sally Anne Jnr. · 07-09-2019 10:56PM

Work away.

I remember hosting a party one night, I was mid twenties, and a few heads around 40 arrived. They were great craic, still friends with them all now. If I knew any 20 year olds, I'd be over there now, living the dream!

I thought I was following along until I got as far as "Underworld gig".

Edit: Holy **** they're still going https://www.songkick.com/artists/462490-underworld . Haven't heard from them since the 90s.

anewme · 07-09-2019 10:58PM

No I'm not doing anything...just going to have a nice weekend.

The OP would like to take yokes with a few friends at a rave and enjoy the experience to good electronic music.

She said "I don't believe ya"
I said "It's fcuking true"
I swapped him for a bag of yokes in 1992

Well, thanks for that OP. I've got an earworm for the night now.

Yes! Bottled when games mattered

Barry's hotel?

Never did yokes at 30 or 40, no interest at 50.

What is this about?

Will be hitting big 5 0 soon and would hate to think I'm missing out on something

I think you're supposed to drop a few yokes and eat the inside of your cheeks while underground.

Tammy! · 07-09-2019 11:07PM

Im like you op, only younger. I made a strict decision never to bother with any drugs when I was a teen but sometimes think maybe I should have.

I reckon the thought is better than the outcome. Think of it as looking forward to Christmas.. the looking forward is the best part...

EmmetSpiceland · 07-09-2019 11:10PM

I’d advise any “oldies” who are looking to start experimenting get your hearts checked first. Just to be sure.

Reppohc · 07-09-2019 11:10PM

Drugs, like youth, are wasted on the young.

Ironicname · 07-09-2019 11:10PM

Enjoy buddy

Whenever I go to the Netherlands for festivals or clubs or whatever the lads I'm with are mid-40s to early 50s, they seem grand with it. Stuff is strong these days, good yokes are made to be taken in halves now (a full good pill is a strong double-drop nowadays) so be careful and dose low.
If you have a heart condition or high blood pressure stay away.

OP this isn't scientific but I reckon you'd find pills are different now than how they were in your day.

The first time I tried them I remember being seriously underwhelmed, this would have been 12-14 years ago. And it's even worse now
So either the quality is falling, or pills from the 1990s were way overrated.

Personally I think the standard has fallen, because nominal prices have remained the same, there doesn't even seem to have been an adjustment for inflation. It's still a tenner a pill.

I don't know the biochemistry of it all, but even increasing the "dosage" doesn't result in a proportionately better high: you hit a brick wall after maybe 2 pills, it's like you stop absorbing the magic ingredient. I'm sure there's some pharmacokinetic explanation for this.

Tl:DR honestly don't even bother with regular pills if you're after some great last hurrah. They're fine on a casual basis but instead, go after some "pure" MDMA, however you take it.

Oh and whatever you do, don't go near the rickshaws. You might as well try fetching a bucket of steam.

Drugs are for scumbags. Go for it OP.
