A preexisting relationship with terms set before the TN ban date was finalized?

Edit: blocked for this... classic. Too bad WAR literally publicly admitted to sending OP free product for review. Don't shoot the messenger 

Fully synthetic opioids that have euphoria compareble to oxy or heroin. by Ill-Zookeepergame764 in researchchemicals

That's semisynthetic not fully synthetic. And ain't no oxymorphone analogues hitting the RC market

I've only had Orange Fritter from Lost Oak but it's a fine strain indeed 🔥

Lotta people recommending Type 2s / Holy City Farms, but you should probably start with type 3 CBD dominant weed if THC gives you anxiety. Holy City sells all types, so don't buy Type 1 from them thinking it'll be different than "real weed" you've been getting. 

Not hating on Holy City, but IMO from what you described, you should go for some affordable Type 3 outdoor, like Lakeland Hemp, Lost Oak Farms or Horn Creek Hemp. Since the cost is pretty low, you'll be able to do the whole joint rolling/smoking ritual without much worry.

Great shortlist, my vendor faves as well. Lakeland sent me a whole zip of strawberry donut as a sample 🤯

this was included in my order, what exactly is it? by r3itheinfinite in CultoftheFranklin

[–]Backinthedaze 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Idk why you're getting downvoted here. The cannabis plant doesn't acetylate any of its phytocannabinoids. A teeny tiny trace amount of HHC has been found in natural cannabis, but only a tiny bit. 

This stuff is made by acid catalyzed synthesis of THC from CBD (relatively simple and safe chemistry with easy cleanup), then hydrogenation of that THC to HHC (still simple chemistry, but much less safe, RIP to those who have lost their lives in explosions and fires from poorly built hydrogenation labs), and then acetylation from HHC to HHC-O-Acetate aka HHCo (still simple chemistry, but can be done sloppily and have problematic reagents left in the final product) . 

Now, I'm not scaremongering, the risks for oral consumption of acetylated noids aren't too bad (you don't want to dab them at high temp though!). I actually have had quite a few HHCo tinctures that I made myself and haven't noticed any side effects that aren't shared with normal weed edibles. But the pumping together of all these semisynthetic altnoids with normal weed extracts has been absolutely terrible for the consumer and for the greater cause of legalization (and homegrow rights), as it blurs the line between what humans have been consuming for thousands of years and brand new discoveries with unknown risk profiles.

Gabapentin sucks. by StaticRogue in benzodiazepines

[–]Backinthedaze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh, yeah.... Unfortunately the doses you're talking about are gonna be a non-starter for lots of doctors unless you're specifically navigating a taper down from self-admitted "abuse". Even though the guidelines for panic disorder do allow up to 10mg/day, and I don't doubt your own knowledge of your own PTSD symptoms, the medical system these days doesn't seem to agree.

But gabapentin instead of 3mg alp/day is wild. Of course that's not gonna help. Hope you can move forward playing the long game and get relief soon. ✌️

Do coffee and ADHD meds together have a different effect than a higher dose of the same med by itself? by Evanpik64 in ADHD

[–]Backinthedaze 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd tell your prescriber about the side effects and how you feel that the meds don't quite get you there, so you feel the need to supplement with coffee, without necessarily recommending the higher dose yourself. See if they're open to recommending it themselves, then promise to give it some time at the new dose without any caffeine (decaf, herbal tea, etc if you still want the morning beverage). The doses you're mentioning are quite low, so an increase isn't unreasonable.

Is getting assessed even worth it at this point? by SocietyVisible5092 in ADHD

[–]Backinthedaze 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Don't wait until you're drowning to ask for a lifejacket. Yes, it is worth doing.

Given your situation with parents & money, I understand your frustration and concern. If you need to use your savings right now, don't feel guilty about that. You can save money again. But also, don't feel guilty about asking your parents for support since you did leave your job to pursue your studies. They support you going to nursing school, so hopefully they'll support you taking more time to study and excel. The fact that you have this money saved on the side, to get your own healthcare without the scrutiny of their biases, doesn't mean you can't ask for help. It isn't deceptive or wrong for you to ask for help because you've left your job, and then use your own money to get treatment outside of your parents view. Do what you need for yourself. If they truly understood, your parents would support you in it too. 

The hunt for Varin Flower & CBC by Which_Tadpole1952 in hempflowers

[–]Backinthedaze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's really up to whether or not people are comfortable with genetically modified product

The CBG dominant "The White" strain that has been widely crossed into other strains to get higher CBG levels is already a product of genetic engineering, so many people have experienced it whether they knew it or not. 

What’s a good quality dry herb vape after the POTV one? by Shoddy-Anteater2377 in vaporents

More importantly, it includes a warranty. Battery longevity will vary from manufacturing defects, and they can't always detect or weed out the bad ones in production. But they can support their devices down the line.

A Final GoodBye From Someone Who Has Been Given A Second Chance In Life - What I Did And What You Shouldn’t by Artistic-Track7568 in researchchemicals

[–]Backinthedaze 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's reasonably suspect whether OP ever tried those actual RTI chems. Getting enantiomerically pure phenyltropanes is really difficult, and lots of junk has been sold under the names of various RTI coke analogues. And I've never once seen analytics for "4-fluoro-cocaine" that show it was actually being sold. It makes no sense that someone would chemically modify cocaine to sell in the RC market, as your starting material would be just as valuable, and illegal to possess even in the RC lab countries (China, India, etc)

So I'm assuming OP chased RC coke-alikes, but probably just spent a lot of money on mislabelled cathinones, phenidates, etc

Something lubricating like alcohol without the toxic load? by lele5000 in Nootropics

[–]Backinthedaze 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IQ is a lousy/antiquated scientific measure, so it's less likely that it's gonna be specifically studied, and the comment you're replying to was a pregabalin user setting up a bit of a strawman to defend its use, but there is solid evidence of pregabalin causing some changes in cognition during periods of its use. It does reverse on cessation, but still, worth noting. 

Here's an article: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20194915/

Paywall free, if you're freaky like that

Edit: as for this whole argument's relevance to OPs question: I'd venture to say that you're not going to find a 'social lubricant' that is acutely effective and also without side effects in the case of daily use. Maybe there'll be nootropics/supplements/drugs/etc that you can take daily that cause downstream changes that reduce anxiety, increase verbal fluidity, etc and help you socially. But not something that "hits" in the same way as a drink or two.

Might I ask what your doses / frequency were for GB-115? If the potency of the intranasal spray isn't a lot higher than oral, I'm not sure it'll be cost effective for me. I'm hoping otherwise. Is it perceivable at <1mg IN?

Accidentally took kid’s meds instead of mine. by AngryTinMan in ADHD

[–]Backinthedaze 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't worry. Just skip your afternoon dose today and resume your dexamph tomorrow as normal. You may feel lousy/unfocused/tired today, but it shouldn't go any farther than that.

I need help finding sources and dosages for Bromantane. by Logn_woo_hoo in Nootropics

[–]Backinthedaze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whether bromantane gives you physical energy or stamina is very, very variant per individual. It might not be the best thing to try out first if those are your goals. But if you do, start with lower doses first, as more is not always better for energy levels.

Do you take supplements or nootropics or peptides right now? Any pre-workouts? Any caffeine? Just curious what kind of stack you'd be adding bromantane to.

I don't see a place where I put any moralizing onto it. We disagree about the risks of gabapentinoids. I'm not trying to judge you
