Doing yokes at fifty

E, acid and the like are a young man's game. Everybody knows there are only 3 ways for an older man to relive his youth.

1 Go for mad sessions of drink and drugs
2 Leave your wife for a younwan
3 take up cycling and wear skintight lycra clothes to show off your big belly

Number 3 is also acceptable clothing to wear to an Underworld gig.

Go for it OP. Few of us went to Carl Cox last summer for 'a last Hurrah' and had a great time. Soon time to plan another one

, you're never too old.

No idea what drugs are.

Fifty thus year and never taken any drugs, never even smoked a joint.

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'm in.

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.

I took a beetle many moons ago, best yoke I've ever had, spent the first 20 minutes fairly sure I was going to die, the rest of the night was euphoric

You know what I find funny..when you're talking to someone a bit older like your mam or aunt or someone and they refer to hash as The Hash!

I've only smoked weed around a handful of times but I find it funny when people refer to it like The Thing or The Stuff like the films!

A bunch of us mid to late forties took yokes (lobs) on a saturday in Dingle a couple of months ago. We started at 11 am, visited a fair few pubs, all turned out well..... lol.

Illegal of course.

People can still get involved in bar brawls, piss on the public street, engage in all kinds of scurrilous and dangerous behaviours and be entirely anti-social whilst still being upstanding members of the community.

No I don't think so. Drugs have been comsumed in every civilisation since the dawn of man for all sorts of reasons.
I think you allow the nanny state to hold your hand.
Unfortunately too many scumbags are involved in the sale of drugs.
Oh and alcohol is a drug. Ten thousand people per year in the U.S. die from prescription drugs.

Tammy! I think you were actually watching the movies The Thing and The Stuff

You were too high on "The Hash" to realise they are not movies about drugs!

Get some real MDMA. It was actually initially conceived by scientists who were trying to tackle issues of depression in old aged people, I respect you are middle aged.

Get your pals over and throw on some tunes you like and enjoy yourself. There will be plenty of water in the tap and you can even enjoy a few drinks etc, although I would not go overboard.

If your hell bent on going to a gig like underworld etc I would suggest you check out their website and see where they are playing. Although mind you I can think of better acts to party to. Get you arse down to Ibiza for a few nights. Clubs like Revision do big nights with the likes of Richie Hawtin, Carl Cox, Sasha and John Digweed etc etc.

Stay in a nice hotel and get out of your barney with a few of your mates. You don't have to party for 9 hours to get a kick out of it, you can always leave early if you think it is crap.

So I've decided on the following:

An Extended trip to New Zealand or Australia

Hiking: South America Or Ethopia

Cruise: Antarctica or Galapagos

So, I've never done any YOKES so moneys no object.

ideas for 50th welcome!

No Guy, that's not it

I can't remember The Thing tbh but The Stuff did have a bit of a thing about addiction though I think it was more about consumerism.

I guess you had to be there and on drugs but that looks unbearably boring to me.

And then you die. Never having experienced doing yokes at an Underworld gig. I'll give it a whirl.

Oh ffs Guy. Stop ruining our buzzz

Go for it. I've done thousands of them but not for about 15 years. I'll revisit them one of these days, I just need a good excuse like you.

I dont know what doing yokes are or An Underworld gig, so,I'll settle for paying off my debts and having an option of touring the world.

Drugs are for losers, what you've never had, you'll never miss.

My apologies Tammy!
I'm a boring fart, I will go on a 2 day yoke bender and report back to let you know if I have lightened up a bit. I assume I will shít myself at least once during it so I will politely not mention that fact.

Pills are really cheap, man. Most people probably spend more on an average Saturday night than a regular-user of E would spend in a month.

Not only is it cheaper, it's statistically a far safer drug.

I'm not trying to proselytise, I'm just saying - pills, and definitely MDMA, are cheaper and safer than alcohol.

Soon, someone will start another thread about cocaïne and then you will definitely have a valid point.

They are agreed but they are an interesting experience until the next day that is when you can't eat or move until at least 8pm , well that was did 20 years ago probably induce cardiac arrest today .

I have never had a 3 way with Amy Adams & Emma Stone but I still miss it every day of my life.... sometimes I miss it 3 times a day

Okay!!....

I will also go on a 2 day yoke bender and hopefully I wont be as unfortunate as your predictions... but if I do I will also politely not mention that fact

Don't be like that.

I've done absolutely loads of lsd and yokes in my time and I've seen loads of the world too, they aren't mutually exclusive. You can have different experiences in life if you want. You've spent a lot of time in this thread telling us you don't know what we're taking about, why?

Try it and get back to me, or don't, live and let live.

Thanks ( I believe we are like minded) but I was asking the person who posted the comment.
