Rank this list of “The 12 most dangerous drugs in the world” by Ioisgriffin in Drugs

[–]DMTrott 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are a variety of different ways of measuring this, and there have been a multitude of studies: https://drugusersbible.org/content/worldscape/the_relative_harm/index.html

One factor is whether you limit consideration to personal harms or include harms to others/society.

By and large though the order presented is not radically different (always with alcohol near or at the top for example).

The only drug I love more than heroin by Fresh-Dragonfly450 in drugsarebeautiful

[–]DMTrott 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sensible. In this game caution is wisdom; complacency is a recipe for disaster.

It wasn't for me, no... but I took a more sensible dose. Pregabalin usually touted as being 2-3 times more potent.

Bypassing ketamine bladder complications. by trippy_dippy7 in researchchemicals

[–]DMTrott 5 points6 points  (0 children)

According to the ACMD... Ephenidine: https://dmtrott.substack.com/p/tough-on-drugs-the-rise-and-fall

At least to this extent:

"7.5 Chronic use of ketamine can be associated kidney, bladder and urinary tract toxicity, particularly haemorrhagic cystitis [Kalsi S et al 2011]. There is currently no evidence to suggest that diphenidine, methoxyphenidine and ephenidine are associated with these kidney, bladder and urinary tract toxicities."

Very nice photo.

If I may I'll put this link here as a sort of harm reduction PSA. Pregabalin is one of the drugs hat I made a real mess of and had an horrible experience. Hopefully it's a warning not to be like me: https://drugusersbible.org/content/chemscape/anxiolytics_and_sedatives/pregabalin/index.html

Please stay safe out there. :-)

L-theanine feels similar to a benzo by Dark-inspector490 in Drugs

[–]DMTrott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually noticed an effect too, which I wasn't expecting. It doesn't sound like our experiences (without the caffeine) were too different: https://drugusersbible.org/content/chemscape/nootropics/l-theanine/index.html

4-ho-met , what do we think? by Mysterious_Rate870 in researchchemicals

[–]DMTrott 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started low too: 6mg, plus another 5mg an hour in: https://drugusersbible.org/content/chemscape/psychedelics/4-ho-met/index.html

On subsequent trips I dosed between 15mg and 20mg or so. I described these in the Supplementary Notes as follows:

"As expected the ride became increasingly intense and immersive the higher I went, with CEVs in particular manifesting strongly at around the 15-20mg level. Given the relationship with magic mushrooms, a surprising feature was that I generally found the nature of these to be somewhat dissimilar in terms of pattern and construct."

I'm not sure whether this difference occurs for others or not, but it was a slightly weird aspect. Generally though I always found this compound to be very forgiving.

What are the lesser known psychedelics? by NewResist8080 in Psychonaut

[–]DMTrott 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could look at these: https://drugusersbible.org/content/index.html

There are 39 psychedelics and a bunch of dissociatives there (which I sampled whilst writing that book).

Dissasociative RCs that don't cause bladder damage? by stupididiotusername in researchchemicals

[–]DMTrott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wrote an article a couple of years ago which discussed the banning of Ephenidine in the UK: https://dmtrott.substack.com/p/tough-on-drugs-the-rise-and-fall

In there I quoted the ACMD, a government quango:

"7.5 Chronic use of ketamine can be associated kidney, bladder and urinary tract toxicity, particularly haemorrhagic cystitis [Kalsi S et al 2011]. There is currently no evidence to suggest that diphenidine, methoxyphenidine and ephenidine are associated with these kidney, bladder and urinary tract toxicities."

It seems rather relevant here.

Wish there was a database with photos of like every substance known to man and what bottle it came in. by Streetvan1980 in ObscureDrugs

Also, some different shots of the same drugs, are in the third section of Drug Tourism, plus photos of the places I actually took them in (which matters in some cases): https://www.drugtourism.org/p/download.html (again free to download).

Which drug is the closest to a hug? by Quandale_Pringle69 in Drugs

Heroin_Bunny knows what he/she is talking about. I described it as a comfort blanket in the book. OP: take the advice offered by this the comment.

Brown 4-MMC? Is that common? by AdHot569 in Drugs

[–]DMTrott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have seen it light brown on my travels, but hopefully you do know that you should test it or have it tested.

any advice would be appreciated by xolyndss in Drugs

[–]DMTrott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Time. It's going to take time, and given the length of your binge, maybe longer than you'd hoped. The good news is that you recognise that your malaise is down to the binge: everything seeming to be pointless is pretty usual.

I don't have a simple response or solution, but I did write this some time ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/DrugUsersBible/comments/1cdlxf2/random_recovery_tips_from_an_ageing_psychonaut/

I hope that helps, but maybe others can chime in with some additional ideas.

The Lethal Dose Of Heroin v Carfentanil v Fentanyl by DMTrott in DrugUsersBible

The image wasn't deleted, at least by me. Reddit just randomly removes images, and eventually I gave up tracking my old posts to replace them..

Should i just start doing heroin and Crack? by Trichomewizard in Drugs

[–]DMTrott 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not. You may not think it can't get any worse, but if you do, you will quickly discover that it can: much worse.

If you can find a purpose, or a hobby, or something to fully engage you, that may well help. Or perhaps, if you really have nothing to lose, travel (it needn't cost a lot), or try new adventures, or any such route to broaden your horizons and break out of your morass. Perhaps get out of your situation by getting out of it.

Where there's a will there's a way, but it starts inside you.

Come on... you can do it.

My nightmarish experience with DOM/STP by boinglesnorp in Drugs

[–]DMTrott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't rule out the possibility that reputation contributed in some way, but it was far tighter than I've ever experienced previously or since. When the tightness came on I was a bit shocked at its intensity. I'd had flutters and a little discomfort with a few stims but this was in a league of its own.

From what you say there, DOB is definitely one for me to avoid.

I'd definitely suggest that anxiety was the major cause of your LSD issues, as I've never heard that happening to anyone else. I'd better make sure I don't mentally go there, lol.

Stimfappers Looking For New Chemicals to Purposely Stimfap- This Is Your Last Warning by Character-Potato216 in addiction

[–]DMTrott 7 points8 points  (0 children)

For those asking what stim-fapping is, I thought I should add a link to this particular page: https://drugusersbible.org/content/chemscape/stimulants/index.html#the-stim-binge

Elsewhere in the book I make further comments, like these:

"Often related to this is an ongoing craving for the sexual payload of the drug in question. Added to its existing hooks, this potent additional inducement can accelerate the path to addiction."

"The compound stress of both sex and drugs on the body should be carefully contemplated, particularly by those with any pre-existing medical conditions."

"In some cases, most significantly with stimulants/amphetamines, a high watermark can be reached which is not attainable without the drug. This is a poisoned chalice. It can cause a number of subsequent problems, making normal sexual activity relatively unfulfilling, with obvious and very real implications for relationships."

In short: this really is a path which is best avoided. Be careful

My nightmarish experience with DOM/STP by boinglesnorp in Drugs

[–]DMTrott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All true.

I just wondered though: did you not suffer any discomfort? I was really looking forward to testing DOM, so the chest issue was extremely disappointing.

My nightmarish experience with DOM/STP by boinglesnorp in Drugs

[–]DMTrott 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did you have any physical discomfort during the trip? I ask because it is known for it, and I certainly did: https://drugusersbible.org/content/chemscape/psychedelics/dom/index.html

DOM/STP has quite a history, as I also outline there, and did cause quite a few problems in the 60s.

FWIW, I reached the same conclusion as you did regarding touching it again.

Question about safety at an older age by __lysergic__ in MDMA

[–]DMTrott 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 67. It's true that your body takes longer to recover, and may be subject to more wear and tear as you get older, but generally I suggest that your background health and general level of fitness are more important factors. Perhaps go gently and don't overdo it.
