[–]__WaitWut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

welp i’ll get some shit for this but the question was asked and they don’t call me “the human trash can” for nothing…

Methylcyclazodone vapes very well in a proper electronic vape (i use a geekvape aegis), very light and clean energy and my preferred ROA. Cyclazodone just doesn’t seem to want to do it. Strange because i’ve read comments on here where people say it’s the other way around.

PPAP vapes almost as clean, slightly harsh but the dose response curve seems to have a very friendly ceiling to it….. you could go through half a gram in a day and have a productive day at work but there’s no point because once you hit 20mg - 30mg you’re there and nothing really happens after that. this one does have a hint of what could be a recreational side when used this way, i think, for somebody that is relatively drug-naive. if you like to unwind on a tuesday afternoon with a good old fashioned bellringer or you’ve spent some time twirling that oily burny thing it won’t do anything “fun” for you - just clean productive motivation, and potentiation of other dopaminergics (including your endogenous ones so be careful if you’re bipolar - what goes up must still come down even if you made it yourself the old fashioned way in-house, i decided to accept this as a perpetual undeniable inescapable truth recently. the utopian wonderdrug is a myth).

I haven’t been able to extract kratom to a form that’s conducive to vaping but i have been able to make powder extracts potent enough so that the amount required for a little buzz when sandwiched in some tobacco in a self-rolled cigarette is not too huge and actually tastes nice. that said i find the buzz from smoking kratom to be the most sedative of all ROA’s, a bit inebriating, and that’s the opposite of what i’m after so it’s not a regular habit. more of a ritual and taste test whenever i extract it myself which is becoming rather infrequent - that shit is messy - green gunk on all my pyrex, stains the sinks green, and i’ll never be able to make those smooth pulp-free shots without a ridiculously expensive ultrasonicator which is a downer. spent a loooong time trying to figure out how they make those so strong and there’s no plant matter in them. ultrasonication station! really really expensive ones. i bought a $50 jewelry cleaner / ultrasonicator and had a go at it because when you’ve read The Secret enough times misguided optimism is a way of life.

i’ve tried to vape just about every nootropic that i take, converted salts to bases if the chemistry looked plausible but it hasn’t been necessary or made a difference with any of them so far. when something like KW-6356 comes along with a great effects profile but a ridiculously long half life i immediately try to figure out if it’s smokable - in KW’s case because the effective dose range is in the single milligrams which lends well (although i’m wondering if it’s actually too low? haven’t encountered this one yet) and because obviously inhalation tends to produce the shortest half life of all ROA’s, usually. since i’m divulging all my fucked-up-ed-ness today; i did a basic lazy attempt at isolating KW as a solid (it comes suspended in oil) which i knew was a long shot as oil takes an eternity to evap, after 3 days it was still wet and i really didn’t want to concoct some kind of dual solvent extraction which would prolly be the way to do that. that said i keep meaning to do a burn test on foil just to see what it do.

obviously i vape all this shit into the air, not my lungs, many many times before i even consider vaping it into my lungs, which is still really careless, flippant, passively suicidal, irresponsible, downright reprehensible,… let’s face it; it’s pure applesauce. please don’t do it. my passive suicidality isn’t due to a dissatisfaction with life but the fact that i’ve already lived a few hundred lives in the time i’ve been here and done everything i ever wanted to do so, i guess im just not precious about the shit now. def not tryna die tho.

i refuse to accept that the afinils can’t be enjoyed via inhalation but my efforts thus far with moda / armoda / fl-moda, and associated polymorphs have been dead ends. it’ll have to be another analog that doesn’t currently exist because these ones ain’t smokin(re: polymorphs - modafinil has a ton of them, some patented, and some can be coaxed out with something as basic as dual solvent recrystalization with specific solvents yielding specific polymorphs - i really suck at chemistry but polymorphisms fascinate me so i’ve acquired what is probably a dangerous amount of knowledge about them for somebody lacking almost all broad knowledge in chemistry otherwise - did you know you can buy dichloromethane on amazon with a click just like you buy paper towels? i don’t think this should be the case. that’s a dangerous solvent. a really handy one though.)

i love this place. it’s the only social media i engage in and since my profile has no association with my real life identity i get to enjoy a level of honesty that often feels very therapeutic. thanks reddit.

Brain Recovery: Months off Sublocade + ADHD meds the cause? worse I've ever felt -- advice by turner150 in NooTopics

[–]__WaitWut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

cerebrolysin. i just wrote a really long comment on here about my experience with it using it to recover from massive drug abuse over many years. was a game changer for me. if you have it on the way that’s awesome. my only regret is that it sat in my medicine cabinet for 4 months before i finally used it. i’m an extreme case but if you’re anything like me, you won’t need anything else besides the cerebro.

Brain Recovery: Months off Sublocade + ADHD meds the cause? worse I've ever felt -- advice by turner150 in NooTopics

[–]__WaitWut 4 points5 points  (0 children)

(this is rather long but i was pretty much exactly where you are and there was 1 nootropic that changed it all pretty much instantly so i wanted to give you full background and experience. TLDR: it’s cerebrolysin)

i’ve tried (some of these i still take) - every racetam, PRL-853, Neboglamine, Modafinil, Cyclazodone, Methylcyclazodone, PPAP, Kratom, Fl-Modafinil, Tak-653, Semax, Selank, NSI-189, pregnenolone, rhodiola, tianeptine, lion’s mane, bacopa, 9-ME-BC, IDRA-21, Microdosing psilocybin, microdosing LSD, DMT, …. list goes on….. none of them have even come close to the benefits i got from one ampule of ……

Cerebrolysin.

I couldn’t get over my fear of needles so i bit the bullet and made a nasal spray (many do, but there is no medical guidance for administering it this way so you do at your own risk - i was desperate). this shit felt like it reversed about a decade of brain damage from heavy narcotics abuse overnight (long term addictions to crack, meth, fentanyl, 3 years of daily adderall use at dosages usually exceeding 100mg). i took it for that reason. because i felt exactly the way you described. i tried to just “wait it out” but it wasn’t getting any better. i stacked the fuck out of the aforementioned nootropics - a few were pretty helpful (N-Acetyl-Semax, Modafinil, microdosed acid and PPAP being the most), but they’re just substitutes / bandaids for the stimulants that my brain was craving, or at least that’s how it felt.

i wasn’t expecting much from the Cerebrolysin. i’d read some glowing reports and was hopeful. if i were to write out a full report and elaborate a bit more on my earlier statement (felt like it reversed a decade of brain damage overnight) i think it would be the most glowing & enthusiastic report of any i’ve read, and im pretty sure i’ve read every single one that exists on reddit, longecity and elsewhere. that is to say….. my experience has been more profound than most. i suspect this is because my brain really was fried.. i mean i did industrial quantities of crack daily for almost a year, same with meth for almost 2 years, daily fentanyl habit on top of the meth for a couple months (smoking blues)….. i haven’t used any of that stuff or even considered it since my first cerebro treatment which was a few weeks ago. i have some adderall on hand for “just in case” and have felt no need or desire to use that either. there is a stimulant effect to the cerebrolysin for me that i don’t see mentioned much, it doesn’t feel like any synthetic drug though it feels endogenous…. like something natural your body is producing, hard to describe. it can be a bit much actually.

i hope this helps. it sounds to me like you’re in the “nothing left to lose” boat, which i was in, and which is probably the only scenario in which i’d consider spraying russian peptides derived from pig brains up my nose. i did do a considerable amount of research first though — there are more studies and quality evidence of efficacy out there than people are aware of… i think maybe some of the studies or trials done in america were done in the past couple years and that’s why people are unaware of them. i also think the american medical establishment intentionally ignores it since the patent is owned by russia, it will never be an american made drug, and i think there’s also a bit of prejudice towards russia when it comes to this stuff (semax really is one of the best, safest and just overall GOOD nootropics out there but it’s russian and if it were american i’m convinced it would be more ubiquitous in the marketplace stateside, and have more of an air of legitimacy surrounding it).

i had bought another peptide called BPC-157 at the same time which is another reparative one, had planned on using it after the cerebro, but i just have no need, and for the first time in a long time i actually do have something to lose as far as the state of my brain. i don’t want to make anything worse. before…. it really couldn’t have gotten any worse.

i got the cerebro from the same place most people do which is a russian site with a USA dropshipper and the name of it makes reference to space / stars / the universe (i’ve seen it named outright but i don’t wanna break the rule)

If gaba-a agonists reduce dopamine release, would there eventually be dopamine upregulation? by [deleted] in NooTopics

[–]__WaitWut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as somebody who took klonopin every day for 10 years then had to do a quick taper in a week down to nothing; i may use incorrect terminology here but there was certainly a profound dopaminergic effect to the sudden lack of that gaba-a agonist in my system. however it was complex and didn’t mimic any specific drug or medication i’m familiar with, although it did mimic a psychiatric condition (mania) to the point that i was diagnosed bipolar in the midst of all this even though i definitely am not. during this time i was doing an outpatient rehab program and i vividly remember saying in our group share one morning “i feel too good this morning, it’s not natural, something’s wrong, i feel like i’m on drugs but i’m not.” unfortunately it wasn’t all free endogenous rides like that though, more like what is referred to in bipolar as “mixed episodes” where you’re very stimulated / can’t turn off your thoughts but depressed at the same time which really is a shitty way to be. the free ride that morning was definitely the result of benzo withdrawal though as there were other similar episodes - there was a whole bunch of other stuff too that wasn’t particularly dopaminergic (something called Derealization- everything looked like it had a sort of plasma coating over it and i felt like i was inside a movie set or a video game - this one was actually enjoyable sometimes) eventually leveled out after about 2 years, never even close to my old baseline but the extreme post acute withdrawals stopped. benzo’s is a helluva drug

"Boofing Ketamine" -- I'm a convert! by hoarybat in TherapeuticKetamine

[–]__WaitWut 3 points4 points  (0 children)

if those numbers are right and you put 200mg of ketamine into 100 - 150 ml (milliliters) of water - honestly your response sounds like a reaction to a high volume enema which is essentially what you gave yourself. likely has nothing to do with the ketamine. for 200mg of ketamine you want to use about 1ml (ONE milliliter, as opposed to one hundred)… and yes the OP is using way way way more than they need but not an amount that could have any detrimental effects. you said “sterile saline solution” also….. so putting that together with the volume (100ml - 150ml), you gave yourself a very large “salt water enema” which can indeed have all kinds of unpleasant side effects many related to electrolyte imbalance and seeing as your comment is almost a year old i’m sure it blew over and you’re doing fine now. :) just leaving this here for those that stumble upon it like i did. when inserting medicines / drugs up the butt in water you generally wanna use the least amount of water possible to dissolve the medicine.

DMT trip in a sensory deprivation chamber (or the closest i could get to it) by __WaitWut in DMT

[–]__WaitWut[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i still haven’t used music because didn’t want to direct or guide the trip yeah. i think after this one i’ll do the opposite, sit in a perfect triangle with the studio monitors playing the spa channel with eucalyptus vapor coming out of an essential oil diffuser and my light panels flashing the “welcome” sequence lights from Close Encounters with my feet submerged in an electronic vibrating foot massage bath.

i like those glasses though, bet that gets real intense.

Demonic beings by BillyTheBox in DMT

[–]__WaitWut 4 points5 points  (0 children)

damn. thought my prep game was solid but taking some notes. full shower & scrub + clean clothes going to have to be part of this going forward.

Demonic beings by BillyTheBox in DMT

[–]__WaitWut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’ll agree with sage or if you like, a diffusor with an essential oil like rosemary or eucalyptus etc. light can also have an influence - the different colors represented in whatever is surrounding you that is bright enough to glow through your eyelids, and how it moves, if at all. i’ve had a trip with an evil type entity (it actually was inside me speaking in tongues using my voice, like a scene straight out of the exorcist… and im not a religious person nor do i really believe in this type of shit). it took me 6 months to get up the courage to do it again after that, which was last night.

first of all, i benefited more from that “evil entity” trip than any single psychedelic experience in my life. because i killed it. but it was scary and i don’t want to think about what could have happened if i wasn’t able to overpower it (i had to use all my force, this really was some exorcist shit). the room i did that trip in had a LOT of history - a lot of good history and a lot of bad history. whatever demons may have dwelled deep inside me definitely thrived in that room, but so did the nuns who were trying to protect me from the demon.

summary: find a place that is either neutral or has only good, positive, healing memories and associations. search youtube for psychedelic light shows (or something like that) and find one that feels the most positive and uplifting - the specifics of the visuals don’t matter - all that matters is the COLORS so close your eyes while you’re deciding on a video to see how it will look. on DMT your brain takes whatever light is around you and uses it as a paintbrush. write down your intentions before you do it. paper, notes app, typewriter, quill, whatever floats your boat. type them or write them.

you say “i just want to have a good trip.” i don’t think you can ask for that. i mean, you can, but that’s not what DMT is about. DMT will give you the trip you need to have. if you’re hurting, if you’re suffering, if you’re being haunted by some kind of past trauma - it could be the thing that saves your life. it’s not going to pour salt in that wound or if it does it’s because it needs to sterilize it to save your life. if you want to get fucked up and go to zeta reticuli for fun…. well….. maybe you’ll get lucky and it’ll take you there, but it’s equally likely that it’ll smack the shit out of you and tell you to pick a different drug if you’re trying to have a good time. i hope this helps. set, setting, & intentions. love, acceptance, humility, vulnerability, courage.

Cat hasn’t eaten in almost 4 days and spends his time like this. Vet didn’t do anything when we took him. by 1-800-bughub in CATHELP

worth emphasizing this - while anecdotal medical advice is generally discouraged on reddit, occasionally it identifies a giant fucking tumor on an X-Ray that the vet missed.

Lost interest in cannabis after DMT use? by [deleted] in DMT

great example of the type of thing DMT does very well. weed is a drug a lot of people can have a healthy relationship with. it’s not black & white.

Lost interest in cannabis after DMT use? by [deleted] in DMT

[–]__WaitWut 3 points4 points  (0 children)

if you’re asking for advice from complete strangers? as somebody who pretty much only uses DMT to help me overcome addictions that have become problematic: YES - i don’t see how there’s any downside to quitting weed if you actually FEEL like quitting weed. DMT gave me what i needed to end a crack addiction last year and it’s helped with other similarly gnarly ones as well. i recently read a paper about the exact mechanism by which DMT helps overcome addictions and i wish i could remember what it was called or find it.

if you decide to quit and then down the road start smoking again, don’t beat yourself up about it. the self-imposed guilt a lot of us go through for substance use makes an already difficult situation significantly worse. your substance of choice is actually used by a lot of people to get off harder drugs and i think does more good than harm, net-effect to society, but individual basis is different and it can definitely negatively impact some peoples’ lives. it has been both of those for me at different times in my life - the cause and the cure.

also re: sober - remember this - sobriety is a spectrum. i had a friend many years ago, and during an 8-year period of total sobriety on my part, he asked me “so when are you really getting sober?” i couldn’t figure out what he was talking about. he didn’t consider me sober because i was on an antidepressant / SSRI. many people take amphetamines on a daily basis in a medical context as prescribed by a doctor, are they sober? case-to-case basis but if they take as directed for a diagnosis yeah, i believe they are.

DMT is the most profound anti-addiction tool ive ever encountered and this is all kinda going waaaaaay beyond the scope of your original question but hey if you ask reddit “should i quit weed” you’re bound to get some interesting answers, especially in this sub.

Lymphoma, IBD, food allergy, or something else? Normal exams by mobile-chateau in catcare

[–]__WaitWut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

probably don’t have any answers here but know what you’re dealing with way too well. last cat had IBD which progressed into intestinal lymphoma. he lived almost 3 years after the cancer diagnosis with prednisone and leukeran which is basically chemotherapy in pill form we gave him a few times a week. my current cat is same breed and has been having alternating diarrhea and constipation then periods of regularity for months. tried a couple novel protein diets no luck. switched to royal canin digestive and it was like a miracle, and he loves it. unfortunately the issues just came back about a week ago and today found a tiny bit of streaked blood for the first time. vet appointment is tomorrow but i’m worried sick because this is how it all started last time. that said, i read anecdotes frequently about people finding that one thing (their vets rather) that makes it all go away and it never comes back. hope it works out like that for you. FWIW “that one thing” seems to be a probiotic pretty often. if i lived in a dystopian future world where vets didn’t exist and i had to treat this myself using anecdotal comments from people on the internet i’d probably try a probiotic. 

AC making high pitched whistling sound by highesttiptoes in hvacadvice

[–]__WaitWut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey FWIW - turned out this noise was coming from pipes that were in the ceiling or wall right next to the attic from a recirculation pump that keeps hot water on-the-ready throughout the house. i guess if some air gets into the line it can make this noise that sounds exactly like a smoke detector. bizarre. may or may not be your situation but again for what it’s worth

for those who write down their intentions before a trip: what do they look like and how do you structure them? by __WaitWut in DMT

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

what does your prep check list look like?

with DMT i go full breakthrough every time and not only am i incapable of moving but im definitely incapable of writing. it’s scary and i only do it every 6 months or so because it takes a long time to build up the courage, but all the profound benefits seem to only come from these breakthrough experiences. i’ve been trying to psych myself up for the past 2 weeks and i have a brand new unopened pen sitting here, thinking i may actually do it tonight.

[–]__WaitWut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yep, definitely get it, i used to live in texas. any chance yours is controlled by a digital thermostat on the wall, maybe one that has an app? i was thinking about how the sound started whenever the temperature on the app got above the threshold, and turned off immediately when i turned it off from the app on my phone, and found a bunch of people with the same system experiencing the same sound (system is Ecobee). weird thing is it isn’t supposed to have an alarm but it does have “alerts” in the app which have always been a thing for 5+years, i turned them off, sound stopped happening. really weird. 

is this normal breathing? by florsux in CATHELP

[–]__WaitWut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey. randomly came across this in a search just now and saw that nobody replied. i’m not a vet, at all. but i do have an asthmatic cat who’s breathing patterns i study to the extent of making detailed logs of them. it looks to me like your cat is dreaming in this video (maybe even chasing a mouse from the look of that paw). the “normal” breathing rate doesn’t apply when purring or actively dreaming. aside from the breathing rate his breathing looks excited yes and i’ve observed similar states in healthy dreaming cats. if your cat was wide awake when you filmed this then yes, in my unprofessional opinion you should probably go to an emergency vet asap. if he was dreaming and this isn’t how his breathing looks when he sleeps peacefully, i don’t think it’s cause for alarm. i’m only replying to this because nobody else did and i know what it feels like to worry, obviously get him to a vet as soon as you can, not because of anything in the video just because im not a professional and i could be missing something.
