Most 78 year old men who aren't dead don't really have the mental faculties to clearly lecture a university at 78.

A soda a day rots far more brains than an occasional trip.

Or even a lot of trips, judging by all the famous old psychonauts who were still lecturing in their 70s, 80s, 90s, and even 100s.
And the less-famous old psychonauts now training your EMS/fire staff, running software departments, working as school principals, etc. Don't forget about the rank and file!
100%. Here’s a book of interviews of elderly psychonauts.

Love how pretentious the term "psychonaut" sounds.

Edit: I'm not a smoker, I'm a toxicnaut.
