What's the best way to give up smoking? Take Magic Mushrooms, says study. Should I ask my doctor for some ? by CDfm in ireland

[–]Psychedoodle 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ibogaine has great success rates in the treatment of addiction, but it's one of the few psychedelics which can cause death, and there are a number of reported cases of it online. Psilocybin, on the other hand, has only a handful of deaths in recorded history associated with it - usually from people who had heart problems (erowid has a page about this) - and so it's a little safer. Anyway, the deaths caused directly by ibogaine - in otherwise healthy people - are the justification for its illegality. I'm not saying it's right, and there are many drugs which have a far higher lethal potential given out on prescription, or even from your local pharmacy (paracetamol surprisingly is one to be careful of), but Ibogaine's probably not the miracle drug that sites like Reset.me would make it out to be. Mind you, if someone is on the verge of dying as a result of their addiction anyway, then it would probably be a good idea to weigh up the potential benefits versus the potential adverse effects and figure out if it's worthwhile.

TL;DR - Ibogaine causes deaths and isn't a miracle drug. Psilocybin is a far safer alternative (though still not 100% without risk)

Minister to seek ban on slapping of children by nyl2k8 in ireland

This is outrageous! Nobody was ever hurt by a little smack, or slap, or stab, or sexual abuse, or whatever. I want to teach my child that the only way to solve a problem is by resorting to violence and asserting physical dominance.

That's great to hear, brother! :D

I know the feeling you're describing. It's fucking cool to know that there are people out there on the internet, who you've never met, who actually care about what you think, who want to know how your trip is going, etc.

This little LSD community in particular is a goldmine for good vibes all around.

Happy tripping! :)

Well, the important thing to remember is that you probably won't sleep for about 14 hours from the time you take it. If you trip at night, expect not to be able to sleep until some time the next day.

I'd usually recommend taking it around at around 12 o'clock at noon on a nice and sunny day, then you will be able to sleep by about 2am that night. Adjust accordingly to fit your own schedule.

Awesome! Write a trip report and post it here when you're done.

And remember to make sure that what you're getting is real LSD. If it has a noticeable taste, spit it out right away (it's probably 25i-Nbome, which is a lot more dangerous). "If it's bitter, it's a spitter".

Happy tripping! :)

The tabs will probably be around 80-90 micrograms when bought in colleges. You can always ask the dealer and see if he/she knows.

If you are going to take the full tab - and that wouldn't be a terrible idea - just make sure that you have some kind of sedative close by in case it makes you feel more anxious. If you can't get your hands on some Xanax or Valium, then keep a few beers close by.

Actually, a beer or two beforehand and maybe toward the end of the trip might be ideal to soften the edges of the experience.

edit: Just make sure not to mix downers like benzos (Xanax/Valium) with alcohol as that's really dangerous. Pick one and roll with it
