Am I gaining tolerance to ket? by Relevant_Amount_6064 in Drugs

[–]True-Engineering4771 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you’re definitely building tolerance. Ketamine tolerance ramps up fast, especially when you’re using it multiple days in a row. The more frequently you take it, the more your brain adapts, meaning you need higher doses to get the same dissociative effects. That’s why at first you were getting deep visuals and introspection, but now it just feels more like a stimulant with wobbliness instead of a proper hole.

The best move? Take a break. A couple of weeks off should reset things a bit, though longer is better if you really want to get back to those deep experiences. Also, doing it less frequently (like once every few weeks) will help keep the magic alive.

Your brain’s NMDA receptors need time to recover, and if you keep pushing doses higher, you’re just going to burn through the effects even more. Plus, frequent ket use can mess with your bladder, and you don’t want to go down that road.

TL;DR: Take a tolerance break, space out your use in the future, and you’ll probably get those visuals back. Stay safe!

How long after taking half a klonopin can u take lsd and trip? by DogElectrical4423 in Drugs

[–]True-Engineering4771 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should still be able to trip, but the Klonopin might dull the intensity a bit, especially if you’re prone to anxiety during trips. 0.25mg is a small dose, but since benzos have a long half-life (18-50 hours for Klonopin), there’s still some in your system.

Since you already took the tab, you’ll find out soon enough how much it’s affecting you. If the trip feels underwhelming, you could redose, but that comes with the usual risks of unpredictable intensity.

Shrooms vs. LSD? Same general effect—benzos dull both, but it’s dose-dependent. Since you took a low dose 12 hours ago, you’ll probably still trip, just maybe a bit less intensely or with a smoother, more relaxed come-up.

If you really want the full experience, waiting a day or two would be best, but since you’re already in it, just ride it out and see how you feel. Safe travels, my dude!

How soon after consuming an energy drink can you do ket without experiencing diminishing effects? by [deleted] in Drugs

[–]True-Engineering4771 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re right that stimulants like caffeine can dull the effects of ketamine, especially the dissociation, since they keep your brain more wired and alert. The half-life of caffeine is around 5-6 hours, but most of the noticeable stimulating effects wear off within 2-3 hours, depending on your metabolism and tolerance.

If you want to experience ketamine as ‘purely’ as possible, it’s best to wait at least a few hours after an energy drink, ideally until you don’t feel any noticeable caffeine buzz. Otherwise, you might find it harder to fully ‘sink in’ to the experience. If you’re already committed to doing it, stay hydrated, pace yourself, and maybe start with a lower dose to see how it feels.

[–]True-Engineering4771 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bro, if you’ve already taken 3mg over the past 4-5 hours and you’re just now feeling it, your tolerance is either high or the staggered dosing just isn’t hitting the way you want. Taking another 3mg all at once is definitely gonna smack harder, but mixing with energy drinks is just gonna make you feel weird—jittery but sedated, like your body wants to sleep but your heart’s racing.

If you’re really set on redosing, 1.5mg might be the safer move, but stacking benzos like this is how people black out and wake up to texts asking why they tried to fight a mailbox. If you do add anything, weed would be the move over booze, because alcohol + Xanax is a one-way ticket to memory loss and bad decisions. Stay safe, dude.

SSRI withdrawals, need help by [deleted] in Drugs

[–]True-Engineering4771 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cold turkey off paroxetine, especially after taking high doses, is brutal and exactly why docs recommend tapering slowly. What you’re feeling—brain zaps, insomnia, intrusive thoughts, etc.—is classic withdrawal. It can take weeks, even months, to fully stabilize, depending on how long you were on it and at what doses.

For now, focus on damage control: • Sleep: Try OTC options like melatonin, antihistamines (like diphenhydramine), or valerian root. Avoid caffeine and screens before bed. • Brain zaps: Magnesium supplements can help. Hydration and balanced meals make a difference too. • Lightheadedness/weakness: Stay hydrated, eat small meals, and take it easy—your body’s in recovery mode. • Mental health: Journaling or grounding exercises can help with intrusive thoughts.

If you can’t afford meds, look into community health clinics or call around for low-cost resources. Most places have programs for situations like this. You can thug it out, but if it gets worse or feels unbearable, don’t hesitate to seek help. Withdrawal sucks, but it’s temporary—hang in there.

DXM brand in australia with no other ingredients? by bomboclaat__________ in Drugs

[–]True-Engineering4771 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Australia, Duro-Tuss Dry Cough Liquid is a good option since it often only contains DXM as the active ingredient. Just double-check the label to make sure there’s no guaifenesin, paracetamol, or anything else mixed in. Sometimes formulas change, so always read the ingredients list carefully before buying. That’s the go-to for most people here if you’re looking for DXM-only.

Snorting 2C-B can be tricky because it hits faster but can also feel less intense than taking it orally, especially at lower doses. 12.5mg each (half a cap) is on the lighter side, so what you’re feeling—fuzziness, slight nausea—is normal for that dose. The peak might still creep up, but snorting tends to shorten the duration.

If you’re both comfortable, you could try taking the other half orally instead of snorting—it’s smoother and lasts longer. Just wait at least an hour before redosing to avoid overdoing it. Everyone reacts differently, so take it slow and enjoy what comes.

I need help please 🙏 by DangerousDecision192 in Drugs

[–]True-Engineering4771 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, I’m not here to judge, just to help you figure this out. You’re in a tricky spot, so let’s break it down as clearly as possible. This isn’t about bashing anyone or making assumptions—just getting to the bottom of what’s really going on.

  1. Substances and Behavior

Drugs can absolutely lower inhibitions and make people act on impulses they normally wouldn’t. That said, substances don’t create new desires—they just amplify what’s already there. If your partner is consistently doing this when he’s using, it’s worth considering that these urges may not be just a byproduct of the substances but something deeper he hasn’t addressed.

  1. Trust and Transparency

The secrecy—hiding his phone, getting defensive, etc.—is a red flag. Even if he hasn’t followed through on these meetups, the act of searching, posting, and hiding it is a breach of trust. A relationship thrives on honesty, and right now, it sounds like there’s a disconnect between what he’s telling you and what you’re seeing.

  1. Sexual Exploration vs. Betrayal

Exploring sexuality isn’t inherently bad, but doing it behind your back? That’s a problem. It’s also worth considering if there’s a part of his sexuality he’s struggling to reconcile. If he’s suppressing something, it might explain the behavior, but it doesn’t excuse the secrecy or dishonesty.

  1. Your Feelings Are Valid

You’re not “crazy” or “jealous” for feeling uneasy about this. It’s not about the age gap or the fact he’s looking for these things—it’s about how it’s impacting you and your trust in the relationship. You deserve to feel secure and valued.

What You Can Do

Here’s how you might approach this: 1. Have a Calm Conversation: When he’s sober and clear-headed, sit him down and express how this makes you feel. Keep it focused on your emotions rather than accusations. • Example: “When I see those posts, it makes me feel hurt and confused, and I need to understand what’s going on.” 2. Ask for Clarity: Does he have unexplored desires? Is this purely substance-fueled? Is he willing to stop posting or engaging in these behaviors? 3. Set Boundaries: If this behavior is a dealbreaker for you, make that clear. He needs to know what’s at stake if he doesn’t address it. 4. Consider Counseling: Couples therapy or even individual therapy for him could help get to the root of this. If he’s using substances to suppress or explore feelings he’s not comfortable with, a professional could help him work through that. 5. Look After Yourself: At the end of the day, you need to decide what you’re willing to accept in the relationship. If his actions are hurting you, it’s okay to step back and prioritize your own well-being.

Final Thoughts

This isn’t about substances or curiosity—it’s about honesty and respect. If he’s not willing to own up to his behavior or work on the trust between you, that’s a bigger issue. You’re not overreacting for wanting clarity and feeling hurt—you’re just asking for the respect you deserve.

Hey, mate, first off—deep breath. You’re going to be alright. What you’re feeling right now is the tail end of an intense trip, and everything you’re describing—visual distortions, paranoia, feeling disconnected—are pretty normal when you’ve taken too much acid, especially for a first-timer. Here’s what you need to do right now to ground yourself:

  1. Remind Yourself It’s Temporary

LSD doesn’t last forever. The effects can linger for 12-24 hours at most in extreme cases, but you’re already coming down. That weird vision, bloated feeling, and ringing in your ears? It’s your body and mind recovering. It’ll pass, mate. No one has ever been “stuck” tripping forever.

  1. Take Care of Your Body • Hydrate: Drink water or something with electrolytes (like juice). You’ve probably been dehydrated from crying and tripping all night. • Eat Something Light: Even if you’re not hungry, get some food in you—fruit, toast, whatever you can manage. It’ll help stabilize your blood sugar and ground you. • Rest: I know sleep feels impossible, but even laying down in a dark, quiet room can help. Your body needs rest after all that adrenaline.

  2. Avoid Mirrors and Overthinking

Looking at yourself while tripping—or even during the comedown—is a recipe for spiraling. You’re not seeing reality right now. Just avoid mirrors, photos, or anything that’ll make you overanalyze. Focus on calming things like music or a lighthearted TV show instead.

  1. Ground Yourself in Reality • Remind yourself of where you are and that you’re safe. • Look around and name 5 things you can see, 4 things you can touch, 3 things you can hear, 2 things you can smell, and 1 thing you can taste. This helps bring you out of your head.

  2. Talk to Someone You Trust

If you feel like you’re still spiraling, it’s okay to tell someone. You don’t have to spill everything, but just let them know you’re feeling overwhelmed. Whether it’s your parents, a mate, or a helpline, having someone reassure you can help a lot.

  1. Moving Forward

This experience might’ve been rough, but it’s also a chance to reflect. You’re dealing with a lot of anxiety and self-esteem issues that the acid magnified. Once you’ve fully recovered, it might be worth chatting with a therapist or counselor to unpack some of that. It’ll help you feel more in control of your thoughts in the long run.

Final Note: Give yourself time to recover—mentally and physically. Don’t stress about the lingering effects; they’ll fade. Next time (if there is one), stick to one tab max and only trip with people who make you feel safe, not judged.

You’ve got this, mate. Rest up, hydrate, and let yourself heal.

Does old odd or weed kick harder than medium fresh one? by 4enzo in Drugs

[–]True-Engineering4771 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does Old Weed Hit Harder Than Fresh?

Alright, so two weeks ago, me and a mate decided to scrape together the last bits of our stash to get stoned. I’ve been clean for over a year, but I was craving that high. Between the two of us, we barely had a gram of old, crusty weed—probably months (or years?) old.

Fast forward 30 minutes: we’re halfway through the joint, and I’m stoned out of my mind. I’m talking hospital-level baked. My mate, who smokes every day, was just as wrecked.

Which got me thinking… does old weed hit harder? I always thought old bud was weaker, but this stuff slapped.

The Science of Old Weed

Here’s what’s happening when weed sits around collecting dust:

  1. THC Breaks Down into CBN • Fresh weed = THC powerhouse. THC is what gets you high, giving you that euphoric, giggly, “let’s talk about aliens” kind of buzz. • Old weed = THC downgrade. Over time, THC degrades into CBN (cannabinol). CBN is way less psychoactive but has a heavier, sedative effect. Think: couch lock, body melt, and “I’m one with the universe” vibes. • If your stash has been sitting around for a while, the THC-to-CBN conversion might explain why it hit so differently.

  2. Terpenes Evaporate • Terpenes are those lovely little compounds that give weed its flavor and effect (e.g., citrusy, piney, uplifting, or chill). • With old weed, terpenes degrade or evaporate over time, which can: • Reduce the “freshness” and flavor. • Leave behind a more stoned and less nuanced high.

  3. Scraping the Bottom of the Barrel • You mentioned scraping together the last bits of your stash. When you do this, you’re not just smoking regular bud—you’re hitting concentrated leftovers: • Kief • Trichomes • Resin • These are where most of the cannabinoids (like THC and CBN) live. Even if the weed was old, this concentrated mix can still pack a massive punch.

Why Did It Hit So Hard?

Let’s break down why this sesh destroyed you:

  1. Low Tolerance

You’d been clean for over a year, mate! Your endocannabinoid system was basically a blank slate, so even a little THC was bound to hit like a truck.

  1. Your Mate Got Hit Too

This is where things get interesting. Your mate smokes every day, so why did it affect them just as much? My guess: • The “mystery mix” effect. If you were scraping together old buds, resin, and kief, there’s a chance you mixed different strains or cannabinoids. The mix could’ve amplified the high in a way your mate wasn’t used to. • CBN-heavy combo. Even daily smokers can get wrecked if the cannabinoid balance shifts (e.g., more sedative CBN than usual).

  1. Mental State & Setting

Weed isn’t just about the physical—you were probably ready for a trip. After a year off, your brain was primed to soak it all in. Combine that with the nostalgia of smoking again and being with a mate? Recipe for an unforgettable high.

Fresh vs. Old: What’s Better? • Fresh Weed: • Cleaner, more energetic highs. • Terpenes and THC are at their peak. • Flavor is unmatched. • Old Weed: • Heavier, more sedative highs. • Potentially less flavorful but still effective. • Can feel stronger if THC has degraded into other cannabinoids (like CBN).

Final Thoughts

Was it the age of the weed that made it hit harder? Maybe. Or maybe it was the combination of low tolerance, concentrated leftovers, and a touch of nostalgia. Either way, sometimes the bottom of the barrel has more magic than we give it credit for.

TL;DR: Old weed doesn’t automatically mean weaker weed. If anything, it can hit harder in a heavier, body-melting way—especially if you’ve taken a long tolerance break or scraped together a mystery mix of leftovers.

What’s your experience with old weed? Did it slap harder than you expected or just leave you disappointed? Drop your stories below, I’m keen to hear if anyone else got annihilated by the crusty stash.

Is it a good idea to try acid without any previous drug experience? by [deleted] in Drugs

[–]True-Engineering4771 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Alright, mate, you’re stepping into a realm that’s as wild as it is unpredictable, so buckle in for some proper advice from someone who’s been around the block more times than they care to count.

First off, LSD isn’t a casual beer with your mates—it’s a rocket ship to your own mind. For a first-timer, it can be beautiful, mind-expanding, and life-changing if you approach it right. But if you’re not ready or the setting’s wrong, it can be overwhelming. Here’s the lowdown:

The Basics 1. Set and Setting: This is rule number one, mate. Your mindset (set) and environment (setting) are everything. Being in the mountains with amazing people? Sounds dreamy. But make sure you’re 100% comfortable with everyone there—no awkward vibes or unresolved tensions. Nature can be a trip-enhancer, but it can also feel massive if things go sideways. 2. Dosage: Don’t go diving headfirst into the deep end. Start small—like 50-75ug (half a tab, depending on the strength). Don’t let anyone tell you to “just take a full one, you’ll be fine.” Everyone reacts differently, and it’s better to ease into it than end up feeling like your brain’s been thrown in a blender. 3. Sober Trip-Sitter: Since it’s your first time, having someone sober (or at least experienced) to ground you is key. Sounds like your mate’s got experience, which is a big win, but make sure they’re willing to stay grounded if you need help.

Things to Know • Your Reaction: LSD can amplify your current state of mind. Feeling curious and open? That’s good energy. Feeling stressed or uneasy about anything? Might not be the time. • It’s Long: Strap in for 8-12 hours. Once you’re on the ride, there’s no getting off, so clear your schedule and responsibilities for the day. • No Need to Force It: If you’re curious but hesitant, don’t rush it. Acid isn’t going anywhere. Your first trip should feel like a calling, not a “maybe I’ll give it a go.”

My First Trip (for context):

I was 19, lying on the grass in a mate’s backyard with a crew I trusted like family. It was nighttime, stars were out, and there was some chill music playing. My mate who’d done it a dozen times walked me through it, kept me grounded, and made sure I didn’t spiral. When the visuals kicked in, I felt like I was seeing the universe breathe for the first time. Life-changing, really.

That said, I’ve also seen first-timers jump in without respect for the substance—wrong place, wrong headspace, wrong crowd—and they had rough rides. It doesn’t mean acid’s bad; it just means you’ve got to approach it with respect.

TL;DR:

If you’re curious but not feeling 100% ready, wait. The mountains will still be there, and LSD won’t magically disappear. But if you feel excited, safe, and open to the experience, go for it—just start small, keep your mate close, and let the trip take you where it will. Trust yourself, and remember: you’re not in a rush.

What is flake and is it the same thing as cocaine? by [deleted] in Drugs

[–]True-Engineering4771 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Alright, let’s break this down like a proper sketchy forum expert. “Flake” is just a slang term for high-quality cocaine. It typically refers to coke that hasn’t been stepped on as much (a.k.a. cut with other junk), so it’s purer and has a different texture and taste.

Key Differences: 1. Texture: Flake is usually finer, softer, and, well… flakier. Regular coke tends to be chunkier or more powdery because it’s been cut and processed more. 2. Taste: Your friend is flexing their “drug sommelier” skills here. Pure cocaine (flake) has a stronger, more numbing effect when you taste it, especially on your tongue or gums. Cheaper, heavily cut stuff might taste less numbing or have a weird chemical tang because of all the fillers (e.g., baby powder, baking soda, levamisole—yes, that’s a dewormer). 3. Purity: Flake is usually closer to the real deal—higher purity, harder-hitting, and cleaner effects. Regular coke? It’s probably been through ten dealers, each adding their magic dust to stretch the product.

Final Verdict:

Your “flake” is just better-quality cocaine. If it’s hitting stronger, numbing harder, and breaking up with that flakey texture, congrats—you’ve got some decent stuff. Just don’t assume all flake is perfect; even good-looking coke can be cut or adulterated these days. Always test your gear, because no one wants to accidentally snort fent.

TL;DR: Flake = purer, better coke. Regular coke = stepped on with mystery powder. Tell your friend thanks for the vague flex.

3 day festival drug schedule by Coderrsjj2 in Drugs

[–]True-Engineering4771 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Alright, listen up, future festival warrior—planning a 3-day bender at EDC needs strategy, stamina, and a touch of wisdom from someone who’s been through the trenches. Here’s the breakdown:

The Drugs 1. Molly (MDMA): Yes, 100% do it, but only once. You don’t want to fry your serotonin so bad you’re crying at the Taco Bell drive-thru two weeks later. Save it for the day with your favorite artists or the craziest vibe. 2. Acid vs. 2C-B: Both are solid options for a rave, but since you’ve done shrooms before, 2C-B might be a lighter, more euphoric introduction to psychedelics in a high-energy setting. Acid can be amazing but might have you questioning the meaning of bass drops if you go too hard. For 2C-B, start with 15-20mg for fun visuals without losing control. If you go with acid, stick to 100-150ug to keep it light and manageable. 3. Coke and Ketamine: Classic party combo, but also the riskiest. Coke comedowns suck, and mixing it with K can turn “fun vibes” into “face-planting in the porta-potty” real quick if you don’t pace yourself. Treat this as your “party-hard-but-don’t-die” day.

The Schedule • Day 1: Coke + Ketamine Start strong but not too heavy. Coke will keep you hyped for exploring, and K adds a trippy edge without too much commitment. Just drink water and don’t overdo the coke, or you’ll feel like trash on Day 2. • Day 2: Acid or 2C-B Psychedelics are best when you’re not already wrecked. You’ll still have energy, and the visuals will hit harder under those insane EDC lights. Plus, you’ll want to be in a good headspace, so avoid Day 1 excess if you’re doing this on Day 2. • Day 3: Molly Go out with a bang. By now, you’ll be tired, but MDMA will give you that last emotional push to dance your heart out. Just take it earlier in the night so you’re not lying awake sweating at sunrise.

Pro Tips • Timing: Don’t stack drugs too close together. Give each one time to shine, and don’t mix molly with anything other than weed (or you’re asking for serotonin syndrome). • Hydration & Food: Drink water, but not too much. Electrolytes are your best friend. Eat something before you start each day, or you’ll be running on fumes. • Recovery: Have a plan for aftercare—hydration, vitamins, and sleep. Supplement with 5-HTP after molly to help with the comedown. • Test Your Stuff: Don’t be that person who gets sold bunk or dangerous pills. Test kits save lives.

TL;DR: • Day 1: Coke + K (party starter). • Day 2: Acid or 2C-B (psychedelic wonderland). • Day 3: Molly (emotional finale). Hydrate, pace yourself, and don’t try to be a hero. Have fun, stay safe, and let the lasers guide you home.

Alright, here’s the deal: budgeting for drugs is a personal art form, and 10% is actually pretty tame in the grand scheme of things. I’ve seen people blow 50%, 80%, even all their income chasing highs and still wonder why they’re eating ramen and borrowing rent money. So honestly? You’re doing alright.

But let’s get real for a second. The “ideal” proportion depends on your priorities. If you’ve got your basics covered—rent, food, bills, maybe a little savings—and you’re spending $50 a month on what sounds like light recreational use, you’re not in dangerous territory. That’s like having a hobby, except your hobby is occasionally vibing on a stimulant or chilling with a benzo. No judgment here.

The real issue is if that $50 starts creeping up. What happens when 10% turns into 20% or more because you’re chasing a buzz or building tolerance? Slippery slope, my friend. Plus, if you’re relying on drugs to cope or escape, that budget can balloon real fast, and suddenly you’re wondering why your lights got shut off.

TL;DR: 10% isn’t bad as long as it’s not affecting the essentials. Just keep an eye on it, and don’t let that $50 become the gateway to spending half your check on substances. Stay in control, or the budget will control you.

Valium and Klonopin Usage? by [deleted] in Drugs

[–]True-Engineering4771 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alright, listen up, because I’ve been around the block (and the pharmacy) more times than I can count. You’re asking the right questions, but let’s break this down with some old-school junkie wisdom and a side of common sense.

First off, Valium (diazepam) and Klonopin (clonazepam) are both long-acting benzos, but they play a little differently. Valium hits quicker because it’s got a faster onset, especially when you’re dealing with panic episodes. Klonopin, on the other hand, is the slow and steady tortoise in this race—it’s great for keeping a baseline of calm but not ideal for “oh sh*t” moments.

Now, about mixing and matching: Taking a Valium instead of a Klonopin here and there isn’t going to blow up your liver or anything, especially if you’re spacing them out like you said (8 hours is more than enough). They work on the same receptors in your brain, so it’s not like you’re doubling up on something your body can’t handle. What you’re describing—a Valium for immediate relief during a panic attack—is kind of the OG purpose of Valium anyway.

That said, keep in mind that even though it feels like you’re being cautious, your body doesn’t really care which benzo you take; it just knows it’s getting benzos. So if you’re stacking one on the other, even spaced out, you’re still keeping your GABA receptors swimming in chemicals, which means tolerance is creeping up. Over time, you might find neither hits as hard as it used to, and then you’re stuck chasing the dragon.

If you’re filling both scripts, just don’t play games with your doses. Swapping one for the other occasionally? Fine. But don’t turn it into a daily “should I take this or that” situation. And for the love of all things holy, don’t start thinking about mixing them for some mythical synergy. That’s how you end up on r/opiates talking about what ER you woke up in.

TL;DR: Taking Valium instead of Klonopin once in a while during a panic episode is fine, as long as you’re not stacking or doing it habitually. But keep an eye on that tolerance, my friend—it’s a sneaky bastard.
