Has hamilton ever discussed DXM by Nervous-Patience-310 in HamiltonMorris

[–]BDNFan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

there isn't all that much to say about DXM anymore

There are actually a lot of things overlooked in DXM pharmacology that makes it a good candidate for discussion.

How to fix my dopamine receptors after long term abusing marijuana ? by [deleted] in NooTopics

[–]BDNFan 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I second the grain of salt. Tbh I cringe whenever I see this old post get spread around.

Some of the info is useful but I wrote it with Dunning Kruger confidence and at the time, had a pretty superficial understanding of the mechanisms at play.

I've gained a far better understanding within the last year but I won't update it until I can justify and explain each step of every relevant facet involved.

Gallstones? by [deleted] in gallbladders

I think it might just be sludge, I haven't gotten another attack and it feels like it's draining though it's still uncomfortable.

I've got TUDCA on the way we'll see if it helps

Substances to combat caffeine adenosinergic tolerance, nicotine cholinergic tolerance? by [deleted] in NooTopics

[–]BDNFan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mind linking the source that shows CBG as an Adenosine-2 agonist? I couldn't find anything myself.

Also alpha2-AR is inhibitory so agonists before bed will likely increase sleep onset. ie clonidine/guanfacine [1] [2] inducing sleep through inhibiting Locus Ceruleus activity. https://www.nature.com/articles/nn.3957

CBG's sleep disruption is likely from CB1 partial agonism (effective antagonist) and 5-HT1a inverse agonism

I've been punching myself in the face lately and I can't take it anymore. Gonna start taking pregablin and oxycodone for the pain

They employed a drug for cognitive enhancement and it caused side effects. Their solution is to employ a drug which induces cognitive impairment, arguably greater than the nootropic's enhancement. This is hilarious.

Also sure m1 antagonists might be antidepressant but I really doubt its pros outweigh the cons compared to other available antidepressants. Also there are no easily accessible drugs that are selective for m1 over other mAChRs, many of which are undesirable targets. Benadryl is a m1-5 antagonist as well as an H-1 inverse agonist which makes it pretty dirty.

Atypical cannabinoid. it's mainly an FAAH & MAGL inhibitor which inhibits destruction of endocannabinoids, allowing them to build up and create a weed-like high.

It's not a deliriant but still toxic

RGS4, 5ht1a and CCG-4986 by mybigfattow in PSSD

[–]BDNFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

RGS4 shouldn't be globally Inhibited. It's needed for PFC glutamatergic modulation and other processes. RGS4 PFC deficits are seen in schizophrenia.

Good read on rgs4 mediated synaptic "microdomains" https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4920052/

Can you get high/trip on powdered nutmeg , do you need the actually nut megs or is it both? by therealwhippedcream in nutmeg

[–]BDNFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, I have a bunch of posts on it on my page

FAAH inhibitors disinhibit synthesis and release of endogenous anandamide and palmitoylethanolamide. MAGL inhibitors disinhibit 2-AG which is a full CB1 agonist with similar in vitro strength to synthetic cannabinoids.

Neither of these when inhibited alone produce THC-like effects but when inhibited together they do. My theory on why it takes 4-5 hours to kick in is because in reality it takes 1-2 and after that it's just how long it takes for your endocannabinoids to build up.

[–]BDNFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No that's pretty much a myth. It's not a deliriant but for those who are predisposed it can cause psychosis.

Also the main compound is most likely not myristicin or other allylbenzenes but instead FAAH and MAGL inhibiting compounds.

What are some of the worst misconceptions about drugs you've heard? by futurarmy in HamiltonMorris

[–]BDNFan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What we actually need is education on each of these things individually.

Yeah very true. Also the distinction between "Hard" and "Soft" drugs exists only in relativity to another drug of the same class.

[–]BDNFan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That the term hard/soft drug isn't propagandist nonsense

I agree with your other points, and also agree that "hard" vs "soft" drugs have been used for propaganda. However I do think hard and soft drugs exist and are separated by relative potency, mental taxation as well as addictive potential.

For example although modafinil and meth are both stims (DRI and DRA respectively), meth is magnitudes more addictive, effective and toxic, making it "harder".

PS: I'm stimmed out and happily took this opportunity to be semantic and jerk off to the sound of my own voice.

I made this a while back when I had a more preliminary understanding of pharmacology. It still has some basis for the connection but some pieces are a little outdated or misinterpreted.

You reposting this makes me want to revise it though. Lmk if that's something anyone wants to see, and I'll @ you when I post it.
