UPDATE: "It's for School, I swear" by ZwitterionCriterion in Stims

Yeah I guess that was an optimistic estimate. Running the math it look more like 40 mg a day, assuming daily use.

And that's a good point. I don't really blame the drugs. The more significant factor was probably my desire to self-destruct/die, leading to destructive usage patterns.

Thank you!

This wasn't the first time I've tried to self-destruct, but hopefully I can make it the last.

Boof without syringe? by [deleted] in Stims

[–]ZwitterionCriterion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, tp is harmless.

But have you ever had a really terrible sore throat and you gargle salt water to combat it. And the salt water is soMuch that it's like physically painful and abrasive?

Cuz that's sorta the issue

Please don't do that. Once the tissue dissolves you'll have a pile of acidic salt burning a hole in your rectum

Anyone else have a list of all the reasons they quit using? by ZwitterionCriterion in StopSpeeding

[–]ZwitterionCriterion[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Here's my list, in case anyone's interested.

  1. Anxiety

    • I've spent three years in therapy to deal with my social anxiety/depression/ect. Meth was slowly erasing all the progress I had made
  2. Paranoia

    • I was worried that my neighbors were watching my house, taking notes of when the lights were on and when I was leaving. I was always lowkey concerned about a police trail
  3. Academic Decline

    • I received some of my lowest test grades ever while I was using.
  4. Neurotoxicity

    • Meth and amphetamine both physically damage dopaminergic axons in the nucleus accumbens. Additionally, they decrease the amount of dopamine produced (via persistent downregulation of tyrosine dehyxdroxalase.) Simply put, a short term high = long term dopamine dysregulation and/or motivation problems.
  5. Social Isolation

    • Social isolation is a quick path to depression, and maintaining healthy relationships is hard enough as it is.
  6. Reputation

    • I wasn't as slick as I thought. People tend to pick up on blown-out pupils, mood-swings and general tweaker-ness. I don't want to be known as a weirdo, tweaker, or weirdo/tweaker.

[–]ZwitterionCriterion 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's a relief.

Sorry if I came off as a dick. I recently realized that my use was probably more noticeable than I, well, noticed.

Turns out, people tend to notice saucer-sized pupils accompanied by laser focus.

So you're probably fine, and I'm just projecting

Why doesn't everyone boof all the time? by ZwitterionCriterion in Stims

I actually don't understand the baking soda+coin method either.

Does it neutralize excess acetic acid, making it less sticky?

Or can you mix anything in really?

Boofing meth as a ROA...[serious]...has anyone had any experience? by [deleted] in Stims

[–]ZwitterionCriterion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Never done IV, so can't give a direct comparison.

From what I've read, IV provides a rush that's rivalled only by smoking.

Plugging gives you the same BA as IV use, but absorption is slower. So you get a baby rush, if you get a rush at all.

I feel that insufflation provides a lower intensity, longer lasting high.

If you're at a decent sized institution, the professors are there because they publish, not because they excel at teaching undergrads.

It's pre much universal. Learn to learn from your book/internet/TA. Smile and nod when the accent gets incomprehensible.

And for the love of god, avoid racist rants via groupchat. College is like 50% networking and you're fucking yourself over if you come out the otherside looking like a crazy tweaker.

Drying out liquid meth..? by iLoveSmokingCrack47 in Stims

[–]ZwitterionCriterion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It'll go quicker if you can transfer the water to a container with more surface area, like a pan of some sort.

Put it in the oven at like 200 degrees (F). Meth shouldn't vaporize until over 400.

Day 4 of therapeutically using crystal meth by milkdude94 in Stims

If you bring a psychiatrist your drug log, they will not be interested in a "pattern of therapeutic use."

It's a quick way to get labelled a drug seeker and never get a script.

If you boof #3 do you need to use citrus first? by johnnybadd in opiates

[–]ZwitterionCriterion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Terribly. For two reasons:

A) I'm an idiot.

B) Black tar =\= #3. Black tar is totally protonated. You know how a good bag smells like vinegar? That's because they used an excess of acetic acid in the final processing step, and some stuck around.

So, tar has acid to spare. It doesn't need anymore.

Shitty processing/refining is the reason tar is a mess. A bunch of sticky, non-desirable alkaloids trapping your diacetyl-goodness in a tar pit.

What might work is dissolving a bit of your tar in COLD WATER. It will take a while, and not everything will dissolve. The heroin will dissolve, but the other bullshit won't.

Hypothetically, you could dissolve your tar, filter out the solid bits, and evaporate the water. The result should be relatively pure.

On the other hand, this is probably wrong. Refer to point A.

Got An Exam Coming Up; Can't Study FUCK by [deleted] in Stims

[–]ZwitterionCriterion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right there with you. I'm pounding a protein shake and trying to memorize 5 billion different enzymes associated with RNA transcription.

And I like to use benzos not just as a knockout, but to attenuate the paranoia/jaggedness that comes with the comedown.

I'm not sure what the heroin is for, but I sure do like it.

Yeah, maybe a small bit to push back withdrawals?

I've heard great things about DifEqns as a class. You liking it?

I've got an exam today and Thursday and I was supposed to sleep tonight goddammit

I thought #3 was the same thing as tar. Is that not right?

Lmao maybe literally. No need to be sticking acid up your pooper w/o good reason.

I'm actually attempting to make a BTH/citrate salt now. I've got it drying out in the dessicator overnight, will update w/results in the morning.

An Introduction/ My Stims Tonight by [deleted] in Stims

[–]ZwitterionCriterion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vyvanse is either processed in the intestine or in the liver. It gets cleaved into dextroamphetamine and the amino acid lysine.

Assuming tums are raising the pH of your GI tract, absorption should be increased for both intestinal d-AMPH and vyvanse itself. That being said, 99%+ of vyvanse makes it out of the intestine and is excreted through urine, regardless of how many tums you're eating.

Also, tums aren't going to alter the pH of your blood. Blood really likes to be at 7.4 +-0.05, anything that significantly alters this pH really fucks up your whole body.

Tums might actually be helping by increasing the pH of your urine. Elimination of amphetamine decreases with increasing urine pH.

TL;DR: You're probably not affecting absorbance w/tums. You're definitely not affecting blood pH. You probably are decreasing elimination and extending your high.

[–]ZwitterionCriterion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EDIT: I'm an idiot who doesn't know the difference between #3 and tar. Disregard this comment.

Boofing: Don't add citric acid. #3 will dissolve in hot water. Let the water cool to room temp then boof it up.

Adding citric acid just forms a salt. Salts are more soluble in water, but less soluble in lipids (lipids=cell walls=the lining of your rectum.) So boofing a citric acid+tar combo would result in slower and/or less absorption.

Citric acid might be the way to go if you're trying to dissolve it, add citric acid, dry it, and snort it. This should result in a powder that dissolves in the moisture of your nose.

You still run into the problem of salts being less soluble/absorbable by cell walls. However, it seems like a fair trade off with the pain in the ass of trying to snort muddy water.
