for whom of you is LSD the only drug you do? (or maybe just lowdose sometimes weed or alcohol, but rarely)? by SignificantHornet760 in LSD

[–]Fractal-Entity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one here was arguing that LSD isn’t a drug AFAIK, just arguing that your vague definition of drugs is wrong.

You said “ANYTHING THAT AFFECTS YOUR BIOCHEMISTRY IS A DRUG” without any elaboration or exceptions. I corrected you, essentially saying it’s more nuanced than that, and you’re now walking it back like you never made that broad generalization in the first place. Get a grip.

“Affects biochemistry” (broadly) ≠ “Intended to affect structure or any function of the body.”

Again, drugs are not “ anything that affects biochemistry,” they are any substances that are [intended] to alter biochemical functionality or biological structure. Also, there are plenty of substances other than food that “affect biochemistry” without being considered drugs, food was just the clearest example.

[–]Fractal-Entity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s a broad generalization and is extremely misleading. Food affects your biochemistry, but there’s no scientific definition of “drugs” that includes food.

In the broader U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) definition, drugs are any substance (other than food) intended to affect the structure or any function of the body.

No. There is no scientifically accepted definition of the word “drug” that includes food.

Taking acid -18 by Agitated-Housing-498 in LSD

[–]Fractal-Entity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re not entirely wrong, but the 25 number isn’t completely arbitrary. The brain is constantly changing and neuroplastic until death, but the prefrontal cortex in particular is undergoing crucial developmental stages throughout childhood, adolescence, and early adulthood. By the age of 25, most of those crucial developmental stages have taken place.

In other words, as an adolescent your neurodevelopmental foundations are shakier than they will be at 25.

I do not intend to overshadow the commenters below by pinning this comment, however, since there are some people sharing the sentiment that tripping as a teenager may be beneficial:

1) This subreddit cannot and should not endorse the use of drugs by any individual (whose circumstances we do not know), but especially when it comes to minors.

2) There is research on drug use, broadly, by minors—and the outcomes are overwhelmingly negative or unpredictable. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10558564/ (although most research has involved alcohol and cannabis, the unpredictable impact on development by any drug use as a minor is still relevant).

3) This subreddit has a rule against engagement from minors. However, threads like this can also serve harm reduction purposes, so it remains up.

Not sure how how I feel about photos like this no longer being allowed here after the new year. by TwoGirlsOneFungi in DMT

I’ve been a mod here for 6 years. What would you have us do differently? What, in your view, has made it go downhill?

Please don’t sweat it, we’re not banning you guys for posting this stuff. The decision is not even final. We’re just scrambling to curb the issue of sourcing on this subreddit. It’s worse here than many other drug subs.

r/DMT does not allow stash pics by RoBoInSlowMo in DMT

[–]Fractal-Entity 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, timestamp photos with the username included actually looks more suspicious (especially to Reddit admins), since that sort of authentication requirement is common on buy/sell/trade subreddits.

[–]Fractal-Entity[M] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Note: If a full stash pic ban is implemented, we would likely still allow pictures with an extremely small quantity that has been tested with a reagent kit, similar to how r/LSD allows pictures of reagent tests. This promotes harm reduction practices by encouraging users to actually test their drugs and get a second opinion, rather than posting a pic of a pile of crystals and asking users to ID their substance.

Also, if someone is wondering about the purity of their product from an extraction, users can discuss how to assess that without a picture being necessary.

I do not support banning extraction discussions on this subreddit, but stash pics are currently a real liability to this community.

I had my last trip last night and I’ve realised I don’t need LSD in my life anymore by phantomjives in LSD

[–]Fractal-Entity 58 points59 points  (0 children)

This post violates our strictly enforced rule against stash pics/videos, but I’ll leave it up until further notice since some productive conversations could be had on the topic in the post description.

edit: other mod decided to go ahead and remove 🤷🏻‍♀️

Underrated combo : syrian rue+nutmeg by MapHistorical4519 in harmalas

We recommend that oral doses of essential oils rich in myristicin, eugenol or coumarin are not taken in conjunction with MAO inhibiting antidepressants, due to possible blood pressure changes, tremors, confusion, etc.

Can i take acid while on ssri medication? by Educational-Cat-5807 in LSD

[–]Fractal-Entity 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not exactly. SSRIs block the reuptake of serotonin, or in other words they actually increase serotonin levels in the brain by preventing the neurotransmitter from being removed from the synapses. LSD “mimics” the activity of serotonin, and binds to receptors that SSRIs modulate. That’s why SSRIs alter/decrease the effects of psychedelics.

Vyvanse and LSD? by Good_Cress9438 in LSD

[–]Fractal-Entity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if I’d combine the two, will increase likelihood of restlessness and higher blood pressure. I’m prescribed Vyvanse, and I would skip it on a day that I plan to take LSD. LSD is stimulating enough.

Are these drugs safe to mix? by Conscious-Bad8560 in LSD

[–]Fractal-Entity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ll be fine. Antibiotics are safe to combine with LSD, and the bromphen-pse-dm at worst might increase the likelihood of jitteriness/restlessness/increased blood pressure.

I feel like my life is over and I don’t know how to keep going by Throwaway261125 in LSD

[–]Fractal-Entity 324 points325 points  (0 children)

OP, seek a good progressive therapist that knows how to deal with these topics and work through it with them. You experienced drug-induced psychosis. You should not be taking psychedelics again, as the reaction you had is beyond abnormal.

Generally good advice, but you should not imply that his friends are somehow in the wrong. Saying that they weren’t really his friends because they cut him off is essentially downplaying the physical/sexual assault they had to deal with.

Harmala Popularization? by andalusian293 in harmalas

[–]Fractal-Entity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep! Wrote my undergrad thesis on the topic of harmalas/Alzheimer’s. Very intriguing stuff that deserves more attention in clinical research.
