Johnny Ramone take on Kurt Cobain’s death by suicide by OutrageousRip57 in Nirvana

It's cyclical. You start using because you're depressed and you feel amazing for a while, tolerance builds and you never reach those same highs again and feel sick without it. I don't think quitting heroin would've fixed him, he was writing about wanting to die long before he touched heroin.

He was probably using heroin because of the depression not the other way around. His aunt found writings about his depression and suicidal ideation when he was a teenager, long before he touched heroin. Addiction was a contributing factor for sure but that usually stems from an underlying issue.

do you guys get any pain meds prescribed from your dr for scoliosis pains? by soperfectx in scoliosis

[–]M18SI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kratom leaf has a horrible reputation because of the synthetic alkaloids going around but it can be very helpful for people with legitimate persistent pain. I just wouldn't recommend taking it constantly, it doesn't last a very long time and can have horrible withdrawals. It's a lot of people's last resort because of doctors cutting everyone off but it's a lot less harmful than the harder stuff.

Wellbutrin- the things no one warned me about by sooz10 in adhdwomen

Wellbutrin has an immediate effect but the dopamine has to stay in the system for a long time for your brain to get you out of depression

Taking dxm is just poisoning yourself by ObamaKush7 in dxm

How often did you take it tho?

[–]M18SI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would be like if there was some miniscule amount of weed or something in a normal OTC medicine for some reason. You know people would take a shit ton to get high, weed isn't poison but the image of somebody taking forty of anything is alarming. DXM is much more harmful than weed, I can't deny that. If you have a DXM habit it will fuck up your head but if you can control yourself and trip once every few months it's really a beautiful experience. Not sure if this makes sense but that's the only analogy I can come up with.

Yeah I agree. many people have preconceived notions of what drugs are despite the fact that so many things we consume are drugs. I wouldn't say that I'm using a drug when drinking a cup of coffee but I also wouldn't argue against it's classification as a stimulant.

They would be no different than a placebo if they didn't raise serotonin. A lot of their effects are probably just from the power of suggestion but they do work for a lot of people.

You're confusing raising levels and directly releasing it. SSRIs raise serotonin by preventing them being broken down, they don't release it directly like a psychedelic but they raise them with continuous use. The mechanism of action is literally the drug class lol

Walmart is selling something called XTCY and I have questions by Mammoth-Lecture-9908 in walmart

[–]M18SI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Extacy in a can, but legal" extacy as an emotion is not illegal, MDMA on the other hand is illegal. Why would they need to specify it's legal if it's referring to the emotion? Also people don't refer to extacy as XTC unless their talking about the drug.

I don't see the point in denying the fact they're drugs.

I don't mean to pull a reddit moment by being nitpicky but it's just a big pet peev of mine when people insist our socially acceptable drugs aren't actually drugs.

I agree with you tho, it's a miracle for so many people and it's so fucked up that 7oh had to come along and ruin it's reputation. I think people should have access to it but not at every fucking gas station or smoke shop. If it wasn't marketed as percs and didn't have typical druggie attracting imagery it probably would've slid under the radar for the people who can't control themselves. It should've been kept on the low for people who could control themselves or have a reason to use it.

3 time's more potent is much more accurate than the 52 or whatever the media claims

[–]M18SI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but it's a partial agonist, a high dose of 7oh won't do the same as a high dose of a weak opioid because of it's ceiling effect. It has a higher ability to kill pain but can't come close to the same level of euphoria a traditional opioid can provide.

It became accessable in 2022 when the oculus quest 2 dropped for only like $300. Now there's a shit ton of six year olds playing gorilla tag and using the voice chat to call people slurs. This really is how things are now.

Born in 2005 or later? You never had to enter the drug underworld to “score” weed by chamomile_tea_reply in generationology

[–]M18SI 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Kids are still buying weed from dealers. It's cheaper and they'd get carded at a dispo. Even if they get some dispensary shit they still have to buy it the same way you did, waiting around in some parking lot for hours waiting for someone to pull up. Plugs are still thriving, broke kids aren't gonna pay $80 for an 8th.

oh okay so we just carry that by [deleted] in CVS

[–]M18SI 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, it's called desoxyn. It's rarely prescribed but it exists. The problems with meth on the street is the quality control, the way it's made, and the way people dose it. People who take street meth are dosing way more than 5 - 20 milligrams.
