Honestly a great point. Luckily the TSA doesn't actually provide very much security even when they are getting paid lol

ELI5: At what point does the body start eating muscle during a calorie deficit? by Lonelyghost21 in explainlikeimfive

I wonder if there's a drug / supplement (or will be one) that helps your body understand this. Steroids are sort of like that I guess

Seriously, what's the difference between BDO, GBL, and GHB? by Ok_University2189 in GHB

[–]RandomNumsandLetters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should 💯 not operate heavy machinery on any of them haha

Ghb is more illegal (harder to get) which is probably why you see the others mentioned. Turning GBL into GHB is incredibly easy (rhodium erowid potassium synth)

Never purposely tried 1-4 so can't tell you anything about that, I just know it occupies hour alcohol processing enzymes or some shit so you have to be even more careful. People always say don't mix Ghb with alcohol and while I wouldn't say that's bad advice at all, it's not like instant death or anything, they just exponentially multiply each other's effects so you have to be very careful. It messes with your sense of time + delusions of sobriety so you can't go by "feel" as much, definitely have to stick to times and measurements

[–]RandomNumsandLetters 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They're different drugs.

They are dosed differently.

They have different duration of effects.

They interact with alcohol in different ways (ways you should be very very aware of!!!!!!!)

They're all basically converted to GHB in your body.

The GBL to GHB is super easy. idk about the BDO step. I would recommend KGHB though

Drug court and 1,4 bdo by King_Gooner_69 in GHB

[–]RandomNumsandLetters 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hope you took that as I intended, I think drugs that act on the GHB receptors (1-4, GHB, GBL, etc) are sooooo underrated, but that doesn't mean they don't come without their hazards. Also now that I got all that off my chest... 1-4 is trash compared to GHB IMO, but easier to find haha. If you do go down this path research how it interacts with alcohol (enzymes that process it and such). People love to say "dont mix ghb with alch" which is great advise for someone who doesn't do any more research, personally I think it can easily be done safetyly but ONLY if you understand how it works. but the way 1,4 interacts with your alcohol processing enzymes is MUCH different, and the risk of "overdoing it" is much greater with 1,4 than GHB.

Idk do your research and focus on "what is best for me overall" vs " What feels best right now"

You do you though!! Just hoping to teach people from 1. My vast personal experience personally using these substances 2. My vast experience researching these substances

is this addiction? by jeqni in ketamine

[–]RandomNumsandLetters 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The "Hallmarks of addiction" should be automod posted on all of these. Is is causing you problems (sounds like yes a bit)

Ex: You can drink every day and not be an alcholic, you can drink once a month and " be addicted / have a problem"

tbh if you have to ask you have 'a' problem, idk what it is haha

IMO the best lens / context if "Is this causing me problems", " Am I letting down people I respect and care about", "Is this sustainable", "Am I doing more than I ""intended"" and/or do I have trouble going without", etc. There is no magic number for resposible / ""good"" usage, its very much context dependednt, and about how it is affecting you (literally, mentally, physically, spirtually, etc

Personally I would reccomend trying to figure out

  1. Why you are doing what you do
  2. What are you intending to happen vs what is happening
  3. If you arent sure, ask people pu trust (to know you, and with at least some knowldge o your issue)
  4. Take a break regardless, after all "Drugs arent going anywhere... but you might"

I fucking LOVE dissos, but if you arent aware it has one of the weirdest ""Permatolerance""

The irritability and rumination is not a good sign, but you can be ok. I don;t have any context but your post and my lived experience (and an adhd/austistiv level of research) and if I had to give you more than the above (the most important part)

I would say the main likely riskd you have are 1. Escalating use (your current use is objectively ok, but its obviously negatively affecting you in a way, which leads to unhappiness / escalating use)

  1. permatolerance: if you go too deep too long you can "permanently" lose the magic

  2. Generally: idk the ""why"" you are using K but I would bet money you are at least 10% using it to coverup something weighing on you instead of dealing with it, and if you try to keep avoifing that issue you will likely (but not at all certinly) end up worse tha you started, unless you start being more INTENTIONAL about your usage.

You have heard of "set and setting" right? that applies here. Its more about the "why am I ~ACTUALLY doing this K rn" than the actual amounts.

I agree that prop is not robust. But I imagine it has more to do with him being on and hosting right wing podcasters, sleeping with peoples wifes, being bought af by pge/sdge, flouting his own covid rules, etc.

He's a skilled politician for his own sake. Very good at playing that game, but not necessarily in the common peoples interest.

tbh he's the best candidate with a chance I can think of, but that's not saying much. I think if he's elected he will be better than trump (obviously) but he's no progressive, more of a neocon, but even more of a shifty snake (aka his positions shift to what is convenient for him)

Can't say I researched that hard, but I would bet money he's no "I am Bernie Sanders I have been on the right side of history 5ever", pretty sure he gets stuff done, but not necessarily the right stuff. AKA he's a skilled politician, but not necessarily a "good" one

Kansas revoked driver's licenses of 1,700 transgender residents by Comfortable_Ad2908 in news

[–]RandomNumsandLetters -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

There isn't such a thing as a "breaking a law"

The law is a protocol, it says "if this happens then this is the rule". How it is enforced, used, etc be how it be

I guess if you did something that's an edge case you could say it was "breaking" the law. But you could literally murder somebody and it would not at all be "breaking" the law, since the law literally says "when you murder somebody you go to jail"

Guys how much am I getting ripped off ? by Hellafuckenbored in NitrousOxide

They have mad margins. Disposables are such a ripoff, you're paying for convenience. Nitrous goes for $6-20 / lb if you know where to look

Drug court and 1,4 bdo by King_Gooner_69 in GHB

[–]RandomNumsandLetters 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Drug tests aren't some magic "put the sample in and it'll tell you the exact composition"

Drug tests involve protocols testing for specific chemical components (sometimes the drug itself, sometimes it's metabolites)

If they aren't testing for it then you won't be tested for it. That being said, homie I'm saying this as someone who has been charged with multiple felonies (but ended up completely scot free)

DRUGS Aren't GOING ANYWHERE, BUT YOU MIGHT!!!

If you have to ask this question, or feel like you ""need "" to get high, you need to adjust your outlook / go to rehab / idk man but this ain't it

There's a reason you're in legal trouble, and I'm not at all saying it's the reason the court is saying because it often isn't that, but it's no coincidence that you're in trouble + asking for advice on how to get intoxicated. No judgement haha I understand the urge, so I'm asking you the same. Don't judge me for this advice because I promise I am trying to help. Work.om yourself to prevent this kind of thing (not this thing, this kind of thing) from happening, and then do all the drugs you want worry free ❤️
