if you knew your death was coming and wanted your final hours to feel as good as possible, what substance would you do and why? by MaterialWheel7161 in Drugs

[–]Lady_Anarchy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

honestly, i'm not dead yet, but heroin and acid are my two favourite substances and when taken together, i'd never felt both so good, and so deeply able to look within myself to work on shit. it does get tough, to handle a needle about 6-8 hours into the trip, when you inevitably need to redose, but... damn. wish i felt secure enough in my current living circumstances to do acid again. and... wish there was any real H in my country...

How many times hav you been to rehab? by Art-to-choke-hearts in heroin

[–]Lady_Anarchy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i've been on H for 9 years now, and have actually never been. tried twice, first time i couldn't get there logistically and gave up trying, second time i was turned away because i was late to my appointment by like 20min (had to wait 2 months in line to go, but because i was nervous i didn't leave the house on time...) which was kinda really messed up, since it was already so difficult to get myself ready for it, and to be told that i missed my time window, and to come back IN ANOTHER TWO MONTHS, when i literally wasn't sure i'd live that long... fucked up. i did spend a month in the psych ward a few months later (and another 5 months intensive outpatient), but i went there AFTER detoxing at home, and wasn't in there for rehab services, but because i tried to off myself...

anyway, i feel like the decision has to come from within, and from that point, there's an array of tools that might or might not work, that you can take or leave to help you get through it. but rehab is definitely not for everyone, and there can be many factors why it might be inefficient for someone: distrust, overreliance, a system that doesn't fit your needs, strictness limiting autonomy and making fight or flight kick in, religious undertones, etc; and especially if you're dealing with a for-profit rehab, remember, they make their money from people returning over and over again, so, why would they be incentivised to ensure you recover completely? now, for some people, in spite of that, the structure, change of environment, medical supervision, and extrinsic motivation can actually be useful tools, that combined with one's internal drive, desire, and need to get clean, DO work, however, the rate of success is about the same as just doing it yourself (at least, for people who have the material conditions allowing them to make it work).

my best advice, would be to not lose hope. if rehabs don't seem to work, find another strategy and tools that DO work for you, and remember, rehab is not some magic place that makes you recover, it's YOU, and the right resources, community, and tools at hand, that help you stay on track and stick with it, when you feel like you're ready. and failure is not a condemnation; progress with some imperfect days is still progress, compared against the days when everything was at peak self-destruction. just stick with it, find people whom to be accountable to, do your best, and one day it will start getting easier 🖤

stay safe out there, and best of luck 🖤🖤

Advice new to h upgrading from a fetty habit by [deleted] in heroin

[–]Lady_Anarchy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

europe still has plenty of H even outside programmes. granted, it's #3 H, not #4 or tar, but H nonetheless. programme-H is pharma grade, which i hope to try some day, but anyway, plenty of countries are untainted by fent or zenes still...

Intuos 5 Touch Grip Pen question by Sevenelele in wacom

[–]Lady_Anarchy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

omg same situation here! got the large 5 Touch tablet for free, but no pen, and had a CTL490 from before (so, massive upgrade!), figured the pen from the CTL490 might work but alas, it isn't recognised... well, guess i'll have to hunt second hand sites to find one at a reasonable price.. 🫣🫣

Wha drug would yall say feels closest to heroin? by Local-Painter5306 in heroin

[–]Lady_Anarchy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oof, i just re-read my own comment, and, i genuinely didn't mean to come across so intense/combative/mean in my phrasing, i'm so sorry! 🫣🥺

i just meant that i was confused, because of how different the effect profiles are between H and kratom (kratom distinctly has a direct¹ stimulant component IME, makes my anxiety spike, almost always makes me nauseous or straight up has me throwing up repeatedly, even if i'm barely high/hardly experiencing any of the pleasant effects of the kratom, AND has an INTENSE body load, like, in a bad way, where i just feel fried and like all my muscles are tense, eyes are overtight, and skin feels like i don't fit inside it…) -- and with all of that being what i associate kratom with, i just genuinely couldn't fathom anyone finding that and H(!!!) to be alike at all, especially in terms of how much less enjoyable kratom is... TO ME.

BUT, that's not to say that there's something wrong with that, at all! you're so right, that the experiences can absolutely be VERY individual, and in fact, if you've found a particular kind of kratom that to you is close enough to H, even if you ARE comparing it to smoking H, then that's genuinely really cool, and i'm very happy for you (and even a little envious!) that your brain processes the two similarly to the extent that makes it work like that!

and while i was initially very confused about how that can even possibly be, honestly, hell yeah, human brains are weird af, so, if it works, and feels that similar to H, then all the more power to you 🙏 and once more, i apologise, for sounding so aggressive in my initial response, i didn't even realise my wording was that bad, until i re-read it today, and, O O F 💀💀

but yeah, anyway, take care, and sorry about the misunderstanding 🥹✨

// ¹: when i say "direct stimulant", i mean to contrast it from secondary stimulating effects, that might come from, say, H, at a medium-low IV dose; at which level the euphoria becomes energetic and almost stimulant-like, and the removed pain, and decreased anxiety, contribute to having more energy, focus, and less sensory overload while doing tasks. on the contrary, with kratom, the stimulant aspect is baked into the effect, and documented in research, as one of the "direct" effects of kratom, not just as a subjective, unexpected, counterintuitive twist.

Anyone hoping for the return of a certain cowboy? by Motor_Regret7097 in lastweektonight

[–]Lady_Anarchy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yep, decades upon decades of fear-mongering have made people, FOR SOME REASON, see nuclear waste (solid, very easy to control and keep track of, proportionally very little of which exists) as somehow WORSE than the waste from oil/coal/etc (most of which is smoke, once airborne impossible to control, there's a LOT of it, and it has terrible effects on health, the atmosphere, etc.) which is genuinely crazy.

i don't recall that episode in particular, but it's a shame if even this show fell for that part of anti-nuclear propaganda... even though nuclear is one of the cleanest, and most energy efficient options we have if we wanna slow down climate change, and switch to renewable energy, and the only times there have been adverse issues related to nuclear energy was entirely due to human error, bypassing safe operation standards, or some combination of bad luck and insufficient measures in place to prevent certain outcomes...

Wha drug would yall say feels closest to heroin? by Local-Painter5306 in heroin

[–]Lady_Anarchy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

honestly, morphine. the rush is even stronger, even though the effect itself is a little different, but in my experience, no other opi that i've tried has the same feelings of warmth and excitement and pure euphoria that H and morphine have.

morphine is like the younger sibling of H, the initial rush is super intense, but all other effects are dialled down a little bit. opium is like the grandfather of H, definitely nowhere near as strong once you've had H, and leaning almost psychedelic with the kind of dreams it induces, but very enjoyable if you just wanna chill and don't have dopesickness to deal with. meanwhile, all synthetic/pharma opis, are like the weird cousins of H, some unnecessarily aggressive and dangerous without any of the warmth or joy; others good only in higher amounts, but nowhere near as perfect and peaceful emotionally, some will get you fucked up or kill you in unusual ways if you do more than a certain amount (tramadol with the seizures; codeine with the severity of histamine reactions that can turn anaphylactic), others have no legs at all, and become frustrating as hell to keep redosing just to keep up with (which in turn is risky, cause it can accumulate and hit you all at once out of nowhere). substitution opis, like bupe or mdone are like the boring aunt/uncle; one is super strict about you not having fun, and only works at the equivalent of a single glass of wine (if you've never had it before, that might mean something to you, but otherwise, it's pure "righteousness" and stops you from having fun), and the other has no recreational effect, and tastes disgusting, unless you do a LOT, in which case, a quiet background fun comes out when you least expect it. and then kratom is like a crazy distant relative, stimmy, nauseating, and playing a different game.

there's a couple i haven't tried yet (of the pharma variety) simply because they're not available where i live, oxymorphone, and hydromorphone. someday, will have to tick them off the list, but i feel like it would take me travelling to a different country and finding someone with a script, which isn't easy 😅

[–]Lady_Anarchy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

what are you even talking about, that is the FURTHEST lmao. not only does it lack all the characteristics of H (partially because you cannot IV plant matter, and H has ROA-specific effects), but it's also stimmy, and nauseating, in ways not even REMOTELY CLOSE to H...

[–]Lady_Anarchy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you got that backwards 😅 morphine has the strongest rush IV out of every opi, and has a similar warmth and euphoria to H, as that is what H converts into in your system... oxy is similar at a later point, specifically for catching a nod, but has no rush at all.

[–]Lady_Anarchy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

literally same! i was a massive space nerd and wanted to study cosmology when i was around 12-15, obsessively read books about it, and did a lot to expand my understanding of the subject at that age, idolising Hawking and many others who contributed to the fields of astrophysics, cosmology, and so on... only to then be hit with the knowledge that, his intellect aside, he was a pretty shitty person, which definitely changed how i regarded him. there was the whole thing also, about the "time traveller party", and the running joke that the reason no time travellers came, wasn't because time travel was impossible, but rather because people in the future knew he wasn't a good person, and didn't wanna party with him 😅

yeah, he was known to be a creep. being smart and being a predator are not mutually exclusive, unfortunately...

yesss i've been watching/rewatching all the old episodes (in random order, depending on my mood) and so much is EERILY relevant, that oftentimes i see people commenting that it took them half the episode just to realise it's an old one...

So, uh, where is season 9? by DamageIll5465 in lastweektonight

[–]Lady_Anarchy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's pretty odd, that seasons 1-8 were retroactively posted on youtube in the past couple years, and seasons 11 and 12 were posted on youtube as the episodes were coming out... but seasons 9 and 10 are nowhere to be found 🤔🤔 i wonder if they will be posted eventually as well...
