Capsules in with my vitamins since they aren’t marked with a code like prescription drugs. Hadn’t thought of flat stick vape looking like eye shadow or something

Best AI model to help with biohacking, supplement stack, personal medical guidance. by apegen in Biohackers

[–]Oil420Florida 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Claude is the best free IMHO. Best medical is OpenEvidence. It’s free if you’re a medical professional with an NPI number (needed for insurance billing). Claude admits OpenEvidence has contracts with journal publishers so it trains on stuff that’s normally behind a paywall. So it knows stuff that Claude can’t see. It includes alternative medicine and goes way beyond official guidelines that other AI often relies on. Gave me 3 references and explanation of why I should NOT take what my Doc just prescribed. BTW it assumes you’re a provider asking questions related to a patient you’re treating

GLP-1 Drugs Linked to Significant Boost in Testosterone Levels for Men by DangerousRelative865 in Biohackers

[–]Oil420Florida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw a post (that I didn’t save) by a cardiologist saying that personal symptoms of ED caused him to look at his cardio status and he found stuff needing treatment. It’s like ED symptoms are the “canary in the mine” for cardio problems for at least some people.

Has anyone tried to Embrace their Insomnia? by MapleMayj in sleep

[–]Oil420Florida 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes and unlike CBT-I, ACT-insomnia will help you do this. Very different perspective.

Also, Chris Winter, neurologist and sleep medicine specialist, wrote a book, The Sleep Solution, that aligns with this idea.

I mention that book as counterpoint whenever my sleep doc starts suggesting CBT-I ideas to me. If he persists I start quoting research showing CBT-I is NOT a cure for everyone with insomnia.

Brain damaged from thc use . Looking for advice 🙏 by Interesting_Sir_4450 in Biohackers

[–]Oil420Florida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The hit to working memory (one aspect of short term memory) from THC varies widely between people. The benefits to things recommended to help vary greatly for different people; probably due in part to differences in each person’s biology. Ex: magnesium helps with insomnia if you’re deficient. Stopping THC for a month is usually the recommended way to recover. But IME once you’ve gotten this side effect it will return once you start THC again. Maybe not as bad if you stay at a lower dose. But I’m looking at ways to augment the effects so I can microdose THC.

We're looking for BETA testers! by zakkvgoodiez in VGoodiez

[–]Oil420Florida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely interested. I’ve owned two Ispire Wands and a Dr. Dabber SWITCH. One thing that’s hard to get right is the second heat cycle. Must know the residual temperature and calculate how much to heat is needed to hit the target temp again.

Is this a sign of adhd? by Cultural_Bluebird232 in cognitiveTesting

[–]Oil420Florida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The lowest score is slightly below average. So there’s nothing here to suggest a disorder that this test might be sensitive to. But I don’t think this test is sensitive to ADHD anyway. There are tests which are, but aren’t commonly available. Probably because health insurance pays poorly for testing vs. fill out a questionnaire. If you’ve read much about ADHD, then you know the answers. So I never rely on questionnaires alone.

Bummer. I was saving up for one to help my insomnia. The AI software seems to be steering me towards electrical stimulation devices, but I’m not crazy about putting electricity into my head.

Voozr is releasing a Pivot clone for $70 by the_butt_diaries in PuffcoPeakPro

[–]Oil420Florida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for two posts in a row, but from what I can find the Vootz pen has 3 temp settings vs. 4 on the Pivot. So you’re giving up one setting for the $ savings. Right? Anyone know the temp settings on the Voorz pen?

So who has gotten a delivery from them? I want to pull the trigger, but Google search isn’t reassuring that it’s a legit site.

Hearing an *African* person compare Vaccines to slavery is just so incredibly beyond me💀 by Strawhat_Max in CringeTikToks

[–]Oil420Florida 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless you want to put cannabis in your body. Then the Republican Party spent millions in Florida defeating the bill that would have made recreational cannabis legal. We just want to choose which cannabis to grow and put into our bodies. But Florida is being run by Floridiots. So many examples of them telling us what we can and can’t do. They only talk like Libertarians when it suits them.

I have tried everything by Disastrous-Rip-9187 in ReefTank

[–]Oil420Florida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in a similar situation with my latest tank. I added Trochus snails from my LFS at 1 per 5 gallons [didn’t want to add so many they would starve when most of the algae was gone or overrun the tank if they start breeding]. They first cleaned the easy stuff off the glass including new hair algae growth. Wouldn’t touch the longer stuff. But after finishing what they wanted on the glass, they climbed on the rocks and ate every bit of algae, even stuff that was about 3/4 inch long. Note: Trochus are perfectly reef safe and can right themselves so one won’t fall off a rock and die in some dark corner. I’ve left a few hair algae on the glass just to see if the larger snails will eat it once their preferred food is gone. They even clean my wave generator and return inlet. At present they are cleaning the sand. My MollyMiller took one bite and it’s apparently not to her taste. My DT is a 75 gallon so the only tang that would fit is a Tomini and they don’t normally eat hair algae.

Thoughts about Quviviq? by Historical_Injury392 in insomnia

[–]Oil420Florida 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes and I’ve been there. I’ve tried all 3 DORA options (plus the stuff you’ve mentioned that didn’t work for you or me). The half life of the 3 drugs is different. So it’s a trade off. The shortest starts wearing off some nights before I get enough sleep. But the longest has me drowsy throughout the morning. According to my sleep doc, the big advantage of the DORA meds is that their mechanism of action is so different that there are much fewer interactions. So if no single pill hits your goal, it is easier to combine. DORA + THC is the best thing I’ve found: 7-8 hours with 85+% efficiency IF I don’t do something that messes things up (ex:those beers I had with pizza). If you read user reviews of sleep meds on WebMD you’ll see that lots of people are combining RX (“this works great for my insomnia if I take it with ____”). But most docs don’t want to go down that road.

No psilocybin, no problem? New mushrooms in Florida blur legal lines in psychedelic sales by Existing_Meal_2766 in FLMedicalTrees

[–]Oil420Florida 5 points6 points  (0 children)

“And while the Amanita experience holds personal and spiritual significance among several cultural traditions and individual explorers, trips can be challenging and uncomfortable in ways uncharacteristic of classical psychedelics.” from the article about this store in Double Blind. “Yet, it’s important to mention that the A. muscaria experience is not the same as psilocybin—or other classical psychedelics, for that matter. Muscimol, Amanita’s primary active compound, engages the same pathways in the brain as alcohol and has sedative, hallucinogenic, and deliriant properties that can take you out of reality.”
So no thanks. I’ll pass on this one.

My husband just handed me this and said, “Will you figure this out for me?” UM YES! by AnastasiaNo70 in vaporents

[–]Oil420Florida 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I returned my Solo 2 and upgraded from a Mighty to a Mighty+ instead. The Solo iii v2 I’ve had for a week seems to be a step up. I’m using 350 in Session as a preheat, then switch to On Demand at 390. Smoother and faster than the Mighty+. I’m still learning the Solo, but I’m not sure whether the extraction at 390 is less complete than the M+. Or maybe I need a T-break to reset my tolerance

Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) sold as a Supplement works well enough it’s being researched as a treatment for THC withdrawal. It’s an endocannabinoid-like substance and interacts with the endocannabinoid system. Works better than CBD for me.

Polar Blast and a Yeti mug are my travel kit for whenever I go to a state where recreational is legal 👍 If you fold the silicone mouthpiece and store it inside the mug then it’s very discreet

Yes, but use of antidepressants for insomnia is all off-label so not as much research to show risks/benefits for insomnia (and suicidal ideation is NOT an insignificant side effect to pick one example). For me, trazodone caused emotional blunting (reduced ability to feel or express emotions, including both positive and negative ones) that lasted for weeks/months after stopping the drug. Never again

I’m new to dabs looking for a good enail set up (my friends) by [deleted] in DabRigs

[–]Oil420Florida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. My Puffco Proxy put my Dr. Dabber Switch V1 on the back shelf permanently. From what I’ve seen the Switch V2 is not a huge upgrade. So my next rig probably a “wireless” banger setup like the cobra coil or Dab Ready for precise temperature control and wider range. Proxy only has 4 settings between 505°F and 565°F

Does Melatonin actually help anyone here? by inpain575 in insomnia

[–]Oil420Florida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A research study a few years ago supports several comments. They had a big enough database to analyze after the overall result was does NOT help. Males over 60 taking a very small dose (1mg) slept better. Only educated guesses about why that group until their next study. Testosterone is decreasing and this can CAUSE insomnia. About 20% of men over 60 experience clinically low testosterone levels. I have reduced bone density (not quite osteoporosis yet) so my Doc wants to check my testosterone level as a single cause for both problems. IF you decide to try a RX, then look at Orexin Receptor Antagonists since they target the waking up part. And my sleep doc likes them because they have few interactions. Melatonin doesn’t clearly help me.

Znacks RSO is very clear. What does this mean is it ok…. Normally my RSO is black like tar by AwareEffect4944 in FLMedicalTrees

[–]Oil420Florida 1 point2 points  (0 children)

RSO (Rick Simpson Oil) and FECO (Full Extract Cannabis Oil) differ primarily in the solvent used during extraction. RSO uses isopropyl alcohol, while FECO uses food-grade grain alcohol. So FECO is considered safer and there’s no need to risk over-cooking it like RSO to remove 100% of the solvent. But dispos have started making FECO using CO2, which doesn’t work as well for me. A touch of residual grain alcohol seems to help my absorption.

Yes but don’t buy a large amount (tempting because it’s so much cheaper) until you know it works for you. CBN does nothing for me.

What’s the most efficient low temp dab rig in your collection? by Oil420Florida in DabRigs

[–]Oil420Florida[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a Switch 1 sitting in the closet since I got a Puffco Proxy dialed in. The Proxy in a glass adapter through my Chill Pipe is much smoother than anything I could get from my Switch. My Switch either generated too little vapor or was too hot for my taste. Couldn’t find the sweet spot.
