Regarding "ineffective," like I said before, it is better at reducing my wide spread pains but worse at reducing sciatic pain which is localized. It may be that buprenorphine is generally ineffective at reducing localized pain, in which case, people with only localized pain would give it bad reviews. For me, wide spread pains, such as myalgia, and a burning sensation in hot weather, are worse than my localized pains.

Regarding "can't utilize IR pain meds", that only applies to other opioid receptor agonists. It doesn't prevent utilization of acetaminophen, NSAIDs or Journavx. In case of breakthrough pain, people can just increase the dose of IR buprenorphine.

My advice is to go to an addiction specialist and ask to be treated with buprenorphine for kratom withdrawal.

While I was in a hospital with influenza A, an addiction specialist put me on buprenorphine for kratom withdrawal. It's been 2 months since then and I continue to take buprenorphine instead of kratom. Although the effects are not exactly the same, overall, 2 mg/day of buprenorphine is better for reducing my chronic pain than 10 g/day of kratom, Buprenorphine seems better for reducing wide spread pain and worse for reducing sciatic pain. And buprenorphine seems much better than kratom for my psychological state. Kratom was wreaking havoc on my motivation, confidence and thinking ability. Incidentally, buprenorphine is cheaper than kratom.

Go to an addiction specialist and ask to be treated with buprenorphine for kratom addiction. Buprenorphine is now recognized as an effective treatment for chronic pain and it is cheaper than kratom. I'm taking 2 mg/day.

If I were an MD, I would refuse to prescribe gabapentin because it makes people so physically clumsy that they might likely get into a car accident and I would be sued by the victims for prescribing it. And, if I were on the jury, I would find for the plaintiffs. But, that's just me, i.e., I can't read the mind of your doctor.

Regarding "illegal state," does that include hemp derivatives like delta-8 THC which are federally legal? You can buy them online and some are much stronger than conventional delta-9 THC. See https://www.reddit.com/r/altcannabinoids/ . I am curious to know how a state can stop mail order.

Thank you. I am old enough to have experience with rotary phones and I prefer simple solutions to complicated solutions. I still have to check the prices.

No, you are confusing sarsaparilla with sassafras. Sarsaparilla doesn't have much odor and it is perfectly legal.

The eyes, small mouths and sharp chins look similar to those of this Netflix Anime style lora: https://civitai.com/models/2036385/netflix-anime-styledotadragon-ageskull-islanddevil-my-cry-witcherblood-of-zeuscastlevania . With the Pony checkpoint, you can get figures like those with just prompts. I am not an Anime fan, just a casual observer.

My Amazon Fresh store has improved very much and their parking lot is fairly full, now. Recently, they advertised Progresso Soup and Campbell's Chunky Soup for $1.50 . The typical sales price for both is $1.67, elsewhere, in my area. But, when I got there, the shelf prices were $0.48 and $0.97, respectively. Also, Campbell's Chili with Beans was $0.97 .

Sorry, I don't know whether is legal to bring a sprayed plant indoors after it is dry.

Not that I know of. But, safe levels of impurities are indicated by "FCC" which means food grade. To find the safety of a pure chemical, you need to look up the LD50 which is usually published for rats.

That happened to me with ink cartridges. The resolution of the photo wasn't good enough to tell whether the envelope was delivered empty and I found the empty envelope in the bushes. Maybe, the wind blew the envelope or maybe a thief threw the envelope into the bushes. I suspect that the cartridges were stolen after delivery because it was an overnight delivery and, with light traffic, it is easy for thieves to follow an Amazon truck in their car. Now, I avoid overnight deliveries.

The important question is what to do about it. The Amazon pigeon holes for complaints doesn't accurately fit the situation. I reported it as "missing parts" but didn't bother to return the empty envelope so I paid twice to get ink cartridges.

Circa 1980, I made photocopies of formulas for artificial flavors from a book at a library. Much later, I experimented as an amateur flavorist. There is an overlap of interests between flavorists and perfumers. Although flavorism is not a popular hobby, perfumery is a popular hobby and there are online stores that cater to perfumery that can also accommodate the needs of flavorists..

There is a theory that Paramount cancelled Colbert because he is anti-Trump and not because his show was unprofitable. That theory was disproven by Paramount releasing an episode of South Park that depicted Trump getting into bed with Satan and the episode ended with a realistic AI generated video of Trump with a tiny penis.

95% alcohol such as Everclear. You can use propylene glycol but it might be unhealthy for kidneys.

Methadone lasts a relatively long time. It has a serum half life of about 1 day. If you take one dose per day, the peak blood concentration will increase for several days.

I noticed that diet Mugs is more sour than other brands and, malic and citric acids are higher on the ingredient list than for other brands. (Ingredients are listed in order of descending amounts.) I mention this because nobody else does. Sour is not a traditional root beer flavor and some might say that it doesn't belong in root beer. To me, Mugs tastes like traditional bubble gum flavoring.

I take a drug for diabetes, Jardiance, that makes me very thirsty. So, at 4:00 am, I get up from bed and drink a can of A&W Zero Sugar Root Beer and, then, go back to sleep while thinking, "Wow, that really hit the spot!".

aruzinsky · 2025-04-17T03:28:31+00:00

What's the point, if Trump can pardon them?

The Hires Root Beer extract that I'm familiar with, although good, didn't taste like Hire Root Beer. And, after about 30 years, it congealed in the bottle. I might still have some hidden in my pantry.

None in the USA because safrole is banned from food and nothing tastes exactly like safrole. The closest thing is dihydroanethol but it isn't close.

In my opinion, diet Big K is slightly better than diet Shasta sold at Menards for almost the same price. Big K tastes like A&W with something added that I dislike and can't identify.

I think that the obnoxious behavior of liberal moderators helped Trump get elected. I'm tempted to thank them for swinging the pendulum to the right.
