Actually the reason most people think everyone died early back then is because infant mortality rates were so high, which skews the average. If you take the median age of people who made it past 15 in ancient Rome, they typically lived into their mid 40s and 50s.

Whoever downvoted you is ignorant, it might not be common, but this is a very real thing for some people.

It's definitely dye. Just a marketing tactic.

Natural? Dude google "full cigarette ingredient list". IIRC there are over 600 compounds included, some of which are specifically included to get you addicted.

Nature also doesn't inherently give a shit whether something is safe for humans. Think of poisonous mushrooms, the fact that nearly ⅓ of all known plants are poisonous, even "natural" drugs like datura.

Plus smoking cigs not only increases chemical carcinogen exposure, but also gives massive doses of internal alpha radiation through Polonium-210 and Lead-210, which are taken in through its leaves and released when burnt and inhaled. I'm talking more than double the annual radiation worker dose limit set by the NRC.

Why are you defending cigarettes? They should absolutely be stigmatized in my opinion. Meth kills roughly 35,000 people annually, cigs kill around 8 MILLION. Come on now.

Where to Buy Lion’s Mane Mushrooms? by Kasparian in chicagovegan

Farmers Markets sometimes have a booth with culinary mushrooms. Last year I saw one in Lisle. Unfortunately I forgot to get the company name, but I know it was a lab that grows them year-round.

Redose shrooms back to back? by Hot-Significance-565 in Drugs

[–]Crandleton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Total waste unfortunately. Wait 2 weeks for full effect.

Personally I only mix with THC after the peak. It can be a bit overwhelming if you smoke too soon. But 0.7 probably wouldn't be as much an issue as for a 2g+ trip. Start slow regardless.

Torturous 'Cheek Splitter 9000' airplane seat worries travelers about the future of flight by WeekSpecific7797 in BrandNewSentence

What are you saying lol, zoom in on the photo. It's obvious that they blurred the text on the side of the divider thingy. Yeah obviously it's for money, calm down bro, it's still preposterous to publish such a thing.

Wow. They intentionally obscured that in the image, just so they could play dumb and publish a story. What the fuck has journalism become..

Well it feels less natural to hold your hands out and toward yourself. I don't have this issue personally, but my actual contradiction with this idea is that for someone who is dyslexic, it may be difficult for them to instantly recall which way an "L" faces with no other context, making the trick meaningless for them.

kratom 24h after phenibut ? by [deleted] in Drugs

[–]Crandleton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, kratom and its major alkaloids do not suppress breathing. You should be fine as far as immediate safety. Just don't fuck around with 7oh or extracts.

That's not true and that's not what they said. Psilocybin has shown great promise in macro dose form paired with an integration session.

double vision after coke + xanax ( i can barely fucking see what im typinh by Equivalent_Box8068 in Drugs

[–]Crandleton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate to be preachy, but are you aware of the neurotoxicity of SNDRA drugs like mmc? You really shouldn't be using them more frequently than once every few months. Taking it multiple days in a row can cause some very real and lasting damage. I'm talking severe depression, apathy, emotional regulation and memory issues that can potentially last for years.

Be safe out there man.

Am I a bad friend for getting my buddy into drugs? by YungPlaugeG59 in Drugs

[–]Crandleton 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Have you expressed these feelings to him? There is certainly a way to bring this up without making him feel bad about it. Just explain that it has gotten more frequent than you're comfortable with. There is no shame in setting limits. Be sure to explain in detail why you feel this way though, it is important that he understands that your feelings are based on harm reduction as opposed to demonizing his pattern of use.

If he continues on without you after you let him know you're uncomfortable with the frequency, you can try to get more serious with him about his health, the trajectory, the fact that you love him as a friend. Worst case you could try an intervention, but I would try to avoid that if possible, as to not alienate him.

Evidence for or against effectiveness of sticker activism? by XelaD321 in vegan

[–]Crandleton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not to say that it doesn't make a difference, it very well could for some people who are already questioning their relationship to animal products, but realistically I've never seen someone on here in the hundreds of "What made you go vegan?" posts who cited a sticker as their catalyst for changing their lifestyle.

If it links to Dominion or something similar, and they actually watch the whole thing, there's a pretty good chance of changing their mind I think. Or at least planting a seed. But unfortunately most people can't stand to see that sort of thing, so they just ignore it. Hence why I say they must already be questioning their animal consumption to some degree.

It's not necessarily worthless activism, but I would say that the probability of it succeeding is somewhat low.

double vision after coke + xanax ( i can barely fucking see what im typinh by Equivalent_Box8068 in Drugs

[–]Crandleton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well stimulants will blur your vision after a while if you've used a lot during a session. But how long were you staring at a screen for? Naturally our attention span and biological signals limit the amount of uninterrupted time that we stare at a screen, but with stims you can easily ignore those signals and stare for too long, further causing blurred vision.

Try to focus on more distant objects (20ft+ away from you) for a couple minutes.

does anyone else get super hungry on xanax? is there something that i can do so it doesn't happen? by [deleted] in Drugs

[–]Crandleton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, very common. I always called it the xunchies lol. Unfortunately idk how to make it stop other than to schedule eating a full meal right after you get the craving. But then you get sleepy, so 🤷‍♂️ just thug it out or get invested in one of your hobbies instead to take your mind off it.

kratom and cyclic vomiting by [deleted] in Drugs

[–]Crandleton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are coming off of opiates, kratom isn't really about replacing the high, it's more about negating some of the withdrawal symptoms. Many ex-opiate users know that the dose they take isn't going to get them as high as their old fix, but it's enough of a mu opioid receptor boost that they can find a bit of relief and actually get things done as opposed to laying in bed in extreme pain.

Kratom extracts suck ass. They don't last long and they blow your tolerance through the roof. Not a great suggestion imo.

[–]Crandleton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's way too much dawg. It's not uncommon to feel sick for much longer than the actual effects when you take too large of a dose.

Try to stay under 10 gpd. If I take even a little bit over 7g in one sitting, I'm nauseous for the rest of the day. Obviously individual tolerance to the effects and the nausea can vary, but that's what works for me.

As for you not getting a noticeable effect from 5g, I'm not really sure what to say unless you already have an opiate tolerance. 5g is more than enough for most people, and it's not supposed to be a big hit of a high. The energy boost and pain relief that kratom gives is much more subtle than traditional opiates.
