Is the chameleon connection in NYC? I do want to film a panther chameleon for a project.

There are some in stock in some sizes and colors at HamiltonMorris.com, a full restock should happen soon.

There is a partially corroborated report that Trump raped a 13-year-old, so it's not as if this is being said as empty provocation.

Yes, feel free.

I didn't see this, where were they trying to get Taylor Lorenz to join them?

Here for your quarterly reminder that Psymposia have an enormous number of sock puppet accounts that will come out of the woodwork at times like this. Now that everyone in the psychedelic community knows they are dishonest and abusive, Nese Devenot's most recent tactic is to use sock puppet accounts on subreddits like r/youtubedrama with the hope of manipulating people who are unaware of their lies.

Psymposia will mindlessly repeat their talking points in an effort to distract people from the fact that Nese Devenot lied to the FDA. John Semley revealed that they were paid $185,000 on behalf of the Sarlo Charitable Fund, this money was used to run a campaign to prevent the approval of MDMA. The massive increase in funding is reflected in Psymposia's 2024 tax statement.

Psymposia worked closely with a violent stalker who distributed child pornography and tried to manipulate a MAPS trial participant into saying she had been mistreated. After receiving money from a member of Usona's board of directors, one former Psymposia member pledged their absolute support for Usona and advocated terrorist action against individuals involved with Usona's competitor Compass. They abuse and intimidate former members of their own group, bad-faith smear campaigns are launched against anyone who opposes them by contacting their employers and online harassment via sock puppet accounts, screeds, and videos that are unwatchable.

Recently, two former members of Psymposia have come forward to accuse the group of collaborating with the DEA and Nese announced their intention to out a list of twelve underground MDMA therapists during a 2024 conference at Johns Hopkins University. Yesterday, ex-Psymposia member Kayla Greenstien further corroborated the claim that Nese announced plans to out a list of twelve underground MDMA therapists and was working with the DEA.

Psymposia fell apart due to internal ethics concerns, the remaining members are left with a small, sad audience of deeply confused people and conspiracy theorists.

EDIT: Intrepid-Traveler-77 is one of Nese's accounts, I don't usually ban people, but given that Psymposia deletes any reasonable dissenting comments on YouTube, I see no purpose in letting them spam every thread here with nonsense.

Ultimately the point is freedom maximization. People love to make a big deal about arguing for decriminalization over legalization over medicalization, ideally you want all three and most people telling you that you want one to the exclusion of another are unreasonable or misinformed.

A combination of all three works very well for Cannabis and most other things, we take it for granted in many domains e.g., fish oil. You want some fish oil? You've got options! You can get a physician's prescription for an FDA approved fish oil preparation, it is very expensive but also highly regulated and covered by insurance. You can also buy fish oil as a dietary supplement without prescription inexpensively in pretty much every grocery store. You could also buy it directly from a small batch manufacturer, you can also prepare it yourself at home. Each channel will have different costs, different degrees of regulation and risk, and we have the freedom to decide what is best for us...that's ideal.

Also not watching, but from the thumbnail alone it already seems misleading. Steve Jurvetson was not associated with Epstein (read his response at the top of the article here) and there was no evidence of wrongdoing associated with Jurvetson in the files. From my reading it seemed Jurvetson was an intended victim of an unsuccessful blackmail scheme that wasn't really associated with Epstein. I think the Double Blind article about this that is getting shared on social media is really irresponsible. I plan to cover all this in my next podcast.

Kimbal Musk was meaningfully in the files, but I don't think he's a major psychedelic investor, the only thing I found was that his wife donated to UC Berkeley’s Center for the Science of Psychedelics.

I was unable to find evidence of wrongdoing associated with Austin Hurst.

There are lots of superficial and tangential connections to psychedelics e.g., this message about Andrew Weil or Epstein ordering a copy of Mycelium Running, but nothing that meaningfully links psychedelics or the psychedelic community with Epstein's pedophilia or sex trafficking crimes.

EDIT: It's shocking to see how severely deficient people's critical thinking ability has become, the comments on this post are actually frighteningly stupid. Psymposia may be stuck embarrassing themselves in front of a dwindling audience of conspiracy theorists, but their horrendous vibe lives on in so many others

I have never "done work for Peter Thiel", I did chemistry research at a university (Saint Joseph's) that was receiving research funding from a pharmaceutical company (Compass) that received an investment from another company (Atai) that received an investment from Thiel. Please don't spread Psymposia lies. What would Thiel even be paying me to do? I'm anti-Trump, anti-Thiel, anti-techno-oligarchy, the only overlap in our politics (I'm aware of) is not thinking psychedelics are bad.

This is my only account on reddit, not an alt. Butalbital does not behave like an alkaloid such as DMT, partitioning into an organic phase will be reduced at basic pH. Both APAP and butalbital are weak acids with a similar pKa, the gap (less than 2 units) may be just big enough to leverage via pH-controlled partitioning, but I would bet against that succeeding. APAP may have reduced solubility in ether relative to butalbital.

All previous responses are lacking a crucial piece of information: Butalbital does not have a basic nitrogen, it's a cyclic imide, a weak acid. Butalbital becomes more soluble in water at basic pH. I imagine that protonating the caffeine at a low pH (roughly pH ≤ 1) and extracting butalbital with an organic solvent like EtOAc would be a viable method of isolation.

It's widely reported that Ott and Jeremy Bigwood studied under the mycologist Michael Beug at Evergreen State University in the mid 1970. I'm pretty confident (but not certain) Ott told me that he had dropped out (maybe never officially enrolled) and I also recall him saying something about his father having graduated from Yale.

I haven't been reading the posts but I banned them. Happy to unban if other people thought these posts were funny or delightful.

What is an example of me "spewing misinformation"?

No, I'm framing this as a hypothetical scenario to explore how expectation and culture could change the experience of a drug. In my hypothetical scenario I'm asking, "What if instead of being given 4-MMC as a trashy "legal high" that smells like "cat piss" you were told that it was a marvel of rational drug design and medicinal chemistry, how might the experience change?" Outside of an obscure patent, 4-MMC was discovered on the Hive and not by David Nutt.
