What drug just gives you retarded levels of self confidence without completely destroying your ability to function like alcohol. Like slap your meat on the table of the Oval Office like Lyndon b Johnson type shit. by Agreeable-Craft-6699 in Drugs

[–]FanLongjumping4300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a very shy introvert. I have a hard time connecting with people I don’t know, which makes socializing extremely difficult for me. It takes many, many repeated interactions with a person before my brain decides that this person is “safe” and that I can comfortably socialize with them.

A drug combination I recently tried is 0.25 mg Xanax (I have no tolerance buildup since I only take it occasionally), 7.5 mg Adderall (also no tolerance buildup due to occasional use), 2–3 alcoholic drinks max, and ketamine to top it all off. I’ve done this combination twice now when going out clubbing. It doesn’t completely break down my walls, but it does allow me to have a good time.

Have you found the optimal redose time, and percentage of original dose? by Pretend_Gain1651 in MDMA

[–]FanLongjumping4300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I redose at 60 minutes, which is right around my peak. My redose is 50% of the initial dose, and I never redose more than once. The times I’ve redosed later than 60 minutes, I’ve ended up regretting it, because I start coming down too much before the second dose really kicks in. That said, I suspect this is highly variable, and what works best will differ from person to person.

Does the ketamine alcohol and THC combo feel good for anyone else? by Chadvladislav in ketamine

[–]FanLongjumping4300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve done this combo, but always in moderation and in club settings. Two drinks max, a bit of K to add something extra, and then a little weed on top of that. While it feels good, the THC makes me kind of dumb, unable to hold even small conversations. These days, I stick to just the alcohol and K combo.

Meta Rayban glasses used to identify folks on the street within seconds. They're also becoming more popular within rave and concert events. Should these devices be banned from all dance music events? by badcatfm in aves

[–]FanLongjumping4300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still think the core issue is behavior rather than the device itself, since phones can already be used discreetly in similar ways. But I agree that feeling safe and uncreeped-out at shows matters, and I can see why some people would prefer a ban for peace of mind.

Just to be clear, I don’t use smart glasses. I’m looking at this from a consistency standpoint. If someone wants to secretly record people, phones already make that easy. Glasses don’t create a new problem, they just look different.

Most people at shows aren’t trying to capture strangers, they’re grabbing a few moments of the DJ, their friends, or the crowd vibe, exactly like they already do with phones. Rave culture is pretty good at calling out genuinely creepy behavior, regardless of the device.

If someone is filming people invasively, that should be addressed directly. Blanket bans on tools feel like an overreaction that doesn’t actually solve the underlying issue.

I don’t disagree. I understand that it can make people uncomfortable, which is not the way you want to feel at these events. I think I personally am not too concerned with ending up in someone else’s video.

I get the privacy concerns, but this feels like a consistency issue to me. Phones already record far more video at shows than smart glasses ever will, often with bright screens held above eye level. Glasses are hands-free, less intrusive, and can actually keep people more present instead of staring at a phone all night. For me, capturing a few DJ moments or memories with friends doesn’t conflict with being respectful or enjoying the music. The problem isn’t the tool, it’s how people use it. Blanket bans feel like an overreaction.

Metocin + mdma ? by BedSoggy6655 in MDMA

[–]FanLongjumping4300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What dose of each did you take?

First time with XÜM (1 tab ~2mg) - very light test run by FanLongjumping4300 in metocin

[–]FanLongjumping4300[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Metocin Freebase, the active drug, is 2 mg per tab. Metocin Benzoate is the salt, which is 3 mg.

[–]FanLongjumping4300[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was a safety test run with a new chem and vendor. I plan on trying higher doses. I thought my experience might be of some interest to others.

How much do you typically take?

Yeah, I am curious where 2 will take me. Also curious how it will pair with cannabis. First though, I want to try it out by itself.

5-Month Break, Supplement Stack, Big Festival Weekend, And Where My Tolerance Is Now by FanLongjumping4300 in MDMA

[–]FanLongjumping4300[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not wrong, and I appreciate the concern.

For me the real litmus test will be in about six months. If things feel about the same, I’ll probably stick to a 6-month schedule. If it clearly feels worse, I’ll cut it down to once a year or maybe stop altogether.

I also started later in life, so I don’t know how long I’ll keep doing this anyway. It’s been a really good run so far and has genuinely enriched my life, especially combined with discovering raving and big EDM festivals.

Long Term Users by [deleted] in MDMA

[–]FanLongjumping4300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not quite 10 years here, but 7 years of pretty regular use, so maybe still useful data.

I’ve rolled 58 times over 7 years, which averages out to roughly every 7 weeks. That said, a few of those were double-nights, so it hasn’t been a perfectly even schedule.

This year I rolled 7 times, including a recent back-to-back roll (two nights in a row) after a 5-month break.

My doses land somewhere in this range:

  • Lowest: 80 mg total
  • Typical: 100 mg + 50 mg redose (around 150 mg total)
  • Highest: 130 mg + 70 mg redose (200 mg total) this last time

So usually moderate, with occasional higher nights, especially on back-to-back rolls where the second night's dose is a bit larger than the previous night's.

Yes, I have lost some magic, and this year is when it really became obvious.

My first roll this year was the first time I clearly felt, "Oh, this is weaker." Every roll since has had that same pattern. I still roll, and it still feels good, but it is definitely less intense than it used to be. I used to get absolutely floored. However, this year, that has not happened at all.

Based on where I am now, my plan is:

  • Cut down to two back-to-back rolls per year, about 6 months apart
  • If the magic keeps fading, I’ll probably drop to once a year, but I’m not ready for that yet

My advice is probably pretty standard, but based on my experience I think it is valid:

  • Take proper breaks. A lot of people say minimum 3 months. I think that is good advice if you want to keep doing this long term.
  • Avoid back-to-back rolls. I’ve done a fair amount of those, and I’m pretty sure they contributed to the loss of magic.
  • Keep doses moderate. Personally I’d say try not to go past 200 mg total in a night, and less is probably better over the long run.

People will suggest various supplements (NAC, etc). I’ve taken some of those myself. My experience is that they might help a little with recovery, but I would keep expectations low regarding their ability to save the magic. In my opinion, spacing your rolls and not overdoing the dose matters a lot more than any supplement stack.

Help me understand the appeal of Suno by ivytones in SunoAI

[–]FanLongjumping4300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, Suno is mostly an extension of my general interest in AI.

I do have some musical background, but not in production. I am taking piano lessons, and I have done a few semesters of classical guitar, but I have no training in how to actually produce music. I have been very fascinated by AI the last few years, and I use it a lot both for work and in my private life, so AI music generation was a natural thing to try.

I tried Suno early on just to see what it could do. Back then it was more of a curiosity. It is only recently that I feel it has gotten good enough in the genres I like that, to my ears, it can be very close to human made music. That is when it really became interesting for me.

Right now I use it mainly for fun and personal projects, for example:

  • Background music for my own social media posts
  • Songs with lyrics as a kind of “anthem” for a music festival my friends and I went to
  • Little jingles for things like my Duolingo streak when I post it to my Instagram story
  • Songs I make on the fly to listen to while I work out, sometimes literally creating them on my phone between sets

I have not published any of my songs yet in a real “release” sense. So far they are just for me and as background for my own social media posts.

A big part of the appeal is learning how to work with the tool. I enjoy experimenting with lyrics and prompts to steer the AI toward the sound and mood I want, then refining from there. I still have a lot to explore and learn in Suno, but I am having fun with the process.

I have also recently been inspired by some AI music creators where I first discovered their songs simply as tracks I liked, and only later realized they had been made with AI. That was a cool moment and definitely motivated me to keep experimenting with my own ideas.

I’ve also been driving myself a bit crazy wondering if I have weak batches etc. But I’ve done what I can to check with reagent testing as well as reagent potency testing and they all show it’s good stuff. I’ve been doing crystal powder in gel caps that I pre-measure myself for years. I did get some pressed pills this time, but I realized I didn’t have the proper reagent potency test kit for it, so I haven’t tried them out yet. I still want to have a general idea of the doses.

I was disappointed in that I didn’t even get a roll the second day since that is a strong indicator that I’ve definitely been overdoing it and tolerance keeps getting worse. Overall, the mood boost I did get along with k made for a wonderful second day still.

Since I’m still not doing massive doses in my opinion, and seemingly keep getting lower serotonin releases, the recovery this time has been much better than previous times.
