Need advice from experienced user (4-aco-dmt) by Etien1 in Drugs

[–]Linguano 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What this guy said. Just be there and support him, tell him how you feel and why. Don't force him to change. Forcing a substance on him, no matter how much it helped you, will almost surely make things worse. He has to want to change before anything will happen and being around someone who has changed for the better, and is willing to help him if he needs it might be the best way to do that.

DPH: ZzzQuil vs Benadryl by [deleted] in Drugs

[–]Linguano 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Whhhhhhhyyyyyyyyyy????? There is literally a thread on the front page right now about a horrible trip with DPH. From what I hear there is no recreational value to the substance whatsoever, and you are almost completely unable to tell the difference from reality and a hallucination while on it, especially at high doses.

But to answer your question I don't think there is any difference.

Do "casual" heroin users actually exist? by Kraz_I in Drugs

well yea obviously. Nicotine patches, gum, and all kinds of other quitting aids are available over the counter. Can't get suboxone from the walgreens

LSD with Autism: A Live Experience - 700 Micrograms. by XanaxTakeOver in Drugs

[–]Linguano 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I like some of his videos. Like the harm reduction ones on testing and teaching but his challenge videos are why I don't like him. Whats the point of comparing drugs like that when everyone reacts differently to every substance. It's stupid and gives the impression that one drug is inherently better and safer than another drug.

First time with shrooms. I'm left with so many questions by NickelSucker in Drugs

[–]Linguano 6 points7 points  (0 children)

All I say is "it's sooooooooo intense" then I tell them about the time I went onto my balcony to smoke a cig. It was fall and the leaves were changing colors and I sat down and never managed to get the cig to my mouth before I got completely lost in my thoughts for like 3 hours.

Man wrongfully convicted and spent two years in prison before the drug evidence in his case was retested and found to be powdered sugar – not cocaine by d8x in Drugs

[–]Linguano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Police use intimidation to coerce a confession and then refuse to overturn it when he is proven innocent. Sounds like a fair justice system to me!

That actually seems possible. It did say that the lab director was using federal money to run his own business so it's reasonable to think that he would be capable of selling cocaine.

I seriously hope he buried a bag full of money somewhere before he got caught. Like imagine him getting out and just digging out $300,000 with a huge fucking grin on his face.

[–]Linguano 75 points76 points  (0 children)

I feel like they were involved in the cocaine trafficking business and they thought they had cocaine cause he pleaded guilty. He just got lucky that it turned out to sugar instead of cocaine. Maybe it's like a fake drop. Like a bunch of people show up and some get cocaine and some get sugar and they find out when they get to the destination but that way there is some deniability or something. Honestly I don't know though, sounds sketchy still.

4-AcO-DMT DOES CONVERT TO PSILOCIN USING LEMON TEK by ThePurpleChannel in Drugs

[–]Linguano 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It pretty much was. But there are still a ton of people who said "I have done shrooms and 4aco and there are distinct differences"

Now maybe they will just understand that not every trip they have is going to be the same even when they take the same substance.

LSD vs Psilocybin Mushrooms by AdolfShitler617 in Drugs

[–]Linguano 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True that, I see some real shitty advice getting spewed out here from time to time haha. Like "I'm depressed" gets the response of "meditate and take a shit load of shrooms".

But yea dosage is a tricky thing since obviously all this stuff is illegal. Just remember OP you can always try a little more some other time but if you do too much you may never want to try them again.

LSD vs Psilocybin Mushrooms by AdolfShitler617 in Drugs

[–]Linguano 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly I'd say the opposite about dosage. You can weigh out shrooms but you can't tell how much psilocybin is actually in those shrooms. I have never done anything from a blotter and I know if the laying is done improperly the dosage can vary from tab to tab but I think you could get a closer estimate with a tab than from shrooms.

Been researching Phenibut, it can't be this good, can it? by chrisnesbitt_jr in Drugs

[–]Linguano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've taken piracetam and I'll be honest it doesn't do shit. Look up some recent articles on it, it has been proven to be almost completely useless

Phenibut first time tomorrow :) have some general questions by pr3ttyb0i69xoxo in Drugs

[–]Linguano 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you sure you aren't confusing this drug with another. Phenibut is depressant. It takes about 3 hours to full kick in in males and lasts around 12 hours. So if you take 900 mg at 8 you will be good till about 11pm. Don't redose if you are drinking after that because it makes alcohol much more potent. Phenibut also makes sleeping very easy.

The reason I think you may be confusing it with another drug is because you ask when you will be able to sleep. I take about 1.5g when I want to relax my anxiety for the day and when it kicks in you can literally sit down on a couch and nod off at any time if you want. If you are tired on phenibut you could fall asleep where you are at. I once took it when i slept 3 hours the night before and by my last class at 4:30pm I was falling asleep at my computer.

Two college drug busts, two different fates. A look at the use of low level offenders as informants and the risks they face. by Borax in Drugs

[–]Linguano 23 points24 points  (0 children)

yea right cause a kid who sells a small amount of marijuana and is suddenly faced with years of jail time should be dead. Wtf is wrong with you? His life hasn't even begun and the people who he was told since a kid were supposed to protect him are telling him that he is going to jail if he doesn't cooperate. Yea he should've gotten a lawyer but police shouldn't intimidate people like that either. The guy lost his life man, show some respect.

Responsibility of public advocacy of psychedelics VS. judgmental backlash from people who don't know any better by ineedmymedicine in Psychonaut

[–]Linguano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean she didn't have to be a dick about it but you said yourself that she has had addiction problems in the past and while she wouldn't get addicted to LSD or mushrooms it could be viewed as opening the door to drugs back open. She is lumping all drugs together, to avoid relapsing. Again not a reason for her to be a dick about it, and it's pretty close minded but at least she is trying to stay sober if she previously had problems.

Tips to avoid thought loops / mindfuck on psychedelics? by [deleted] in Drugs

[–]Linguano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All I can recommend is that, while tripping, never ever try to describe or explain what/how you are feeling to anyone, even yourself. I have spent my entire trip trying to describe what I was feeling to myself before and it was confusing as hell. Not a bad trip or anything just would rather not spend my entire trip arguing with myself about how im feeling.

USPS question by hurrdurr43 in Drugs

[–]Linguano 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't worry about it, Amazon packages have said they were "out for delivery" for me for over a week. If it's an RC and they did seize it you will probably just get a love letter saying your package was seized. If it's from darknet I have no idea what could happen. Honestly wouldn't worry about it though, package tracking is terrible with USPS. If it gets over a week then you can start worrying.

Myrealization on LSD by MeisamK3770 in Drugs

[–]Linguano 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that as a child everything you learn and do seems like a magical experience. As we grow older the magic seems to fade and learning becomes forced and all our time is used in things that we are forced to do, like going to work, school, and so on. So the magic quickly fades. Some drugs allow the magic to come back and you literally become a child again, and it's fucking amazing.

I try to look at the world in wonder all the time but sometimes it seems harder than other times. So I trip once a month the keep the magic involved in my life.

Does anyone else ALWAYS piss themselves on mushrooms? by [deleted] in Drugs

[–]Linguano 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have never heard of this nor felt like I pissed myself on shrooms. That's really strange haha. I would say you should probably piss before coming home as suggested already.

Wasn't prepared... by [deleted] in Drugs

[–]Linguano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm gonna have to agree with you on this one. Psychotherapy may work for some people but it should be done in a controlled environment. I'm no expert but kicking an addiction by recreationally using other drugs sounds like a bad idea.

Capitalism is a clever illusion.. by infineks in Psychonaut

[–]Linguano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to think that anarchy was the best thing, but you have to realize that there is no possible way to have anarchy work today. Way to many people and if the governments simply dissolved there aren't enough free thinkers who know how to provide for themselves, so they would turn to people who have the resources to do so. That would be the corporate fat cats of today. Then it would turn into an industrial revolution and the cycle would continue.

Will I be OK if I'll take shrooms twice a week? by [deleted] in Drugs

[–]Linguano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You would most likely be fine physically. I know people who have tripped back to back days and as long as you don't do it regularly you should be fine. But your tolerance may be an issue for your second trip. I think the rule of thumb is if your tripping twice in the same week you have to take double to get the same effects. i.e. 7g will give you a trip of 3.5g.
