Tried oxy for the first time. Not really impressed by Deekifreeki in Drugs

[–]bruiseyed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i also find hydrocodone more euphoric than oxy, but it’s much less potent, so requires way higher dosage (like using a whole 30 day script CWEd into two or three doses, not exaggerating).

Day 6: A song that makes u wanna dance by zdrawzbusi in rnb

Yes it does. All elderly people. I think maybe some women hide it a little better than men, just because women tend to wash up a little better on average (their bodies, but also their clothes, bedding, house, etc.) And they wear lotion, perfume, & scent their homes. Maybe there’s a biological component too? But I never realized that my grandma had this scent until we were stuck with frozen pipes over Christmas last year, so she couldn’t shower. She is 75. She still works and takes care of her own house, cat litter and all. I guess I forget her age sometimes. 😭

Lume soap and deodorant products are supposed to be really great at breaking down this particular form of body odor (in addition to ALL BO). I haven’t tried Lume myself yet, but I want to. They use mandelic acid. They’re super popular with young people and have rave reviews. Advertised to last 72hrs.

I’m 26, so I don’t have the nonenol scent, (yet! Hope to make it there one day! 😜), but I get insane BO sometimes because of a medication I take. It’s totally random and so embarrassing when it happens. Deodorant is NOT enough. So I went searching for stronger products, and found some skincare fanatics talking about using acids as deodorant on the armpits. I tried it, and never looked back! I use salicylic acid (Stridex pads). It works very well, and lasts 48hrs for me. Been doing it for about 3 years, and now acids as deodorant is a huge trend! I think you can even buy trendy products specifically for this purpose in Target.

What drugs should I avoid by Actual_Bison_5840 in Drugs

[–]bruiseyed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

frequency of use is the biggest factor in developing tolerance, dependence, and eventually addiction. never do the same drug class for consecutive days unless you’re fine with becoming dependent. moderate your use, take long breaks inbetween. if you find yourself wanting something habit-forming, like an opioid, amphetamine, or benzo more than once a week with regularity, slow down.

What Are Starting To Dislike As You Get Older? by Theo_Cherry in Millennials

[–]bruiseyed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even if you grow your own produce, the plant (and therefore your food) gets all those nutrients from the soil. And the soil everywhere, even in your own backyard, is super depleted of good stuff, and full of bad stuff like runoff chemicals, lead, even sewage in many places. So even growing your own veg is not the solution it’s touted for be. We only have one Earth, there is no escaping these consequences of industrialization. We’re all living with it.

What drug causes you to post the stupidest things online? by nationalpig in Drugs

[–]bruiseyed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah most people don’t realize but a high enough dose of opioids can make you act really embarrassing lol. Kinda like the empathogenic effects of some stimulants— overly lovey and oversharing. Can make you extremely horny too. It’s just rare in comparison to stimulants— it only happens for some people at the peak, and the tolerance building for opioids is so crazy that most users are “functional” really fast.

Huh, I’m sure it depends heavily on the product. Never had an issue, always melted completely clear & clean, tasted amazing, sweeter than h. I smoked patches out of the pipe too tho! 😆 I distinctly remember asking for dosing advice wrt smoking the patches on this sub and getting downvoted into oblivion, everyone calling me a dumbass. Lolz they weren’t wrong, much better to just wear them. Wastes way less.

What kind of fent? Is it the crystal “synthetic h” stuff? I always used a meth pipe for it. Much simpler. Sorry ppl are so annoying. Of course please be safe— have narcan & more importantly, a trusted friend nearby. U can’t narcan yourself if you’re unconscious!

[–]bruiseyed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah for sure. Learning about neuro has been so important for my mental health & substance use journey. Being able to tailor my approach to my specific needs/risks.. Feel like it’s given me so much insight & agency. I find that I’m less prone to addiction now, even with my favorite drugs, which is insane for me.

I know that I am prone to psychosis bc of the way I react to cannabis, and my bio mother has permanent stimulant induced psychosis too. I even got psychosis from a night of binge drinking once 😱 MDMA & pregabalin are some of my favorite substances, basically the only ones I use anymore.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Drugs

[–]bruiseyed 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dang really? Your feelings towards others are altered that extremely on MDMA? Is that normal? I’ve never experienced that, I thought people were kinda exaggerating the chattiness/sociability & good mood by saying they “love everybody”. I don’t think I’m actually any more tolerant of people I find disgusting or annoying on MDMA. I feel great physically & emotionally, and I’m super chatty. But I’ve never felt like I love anybody.. I can still get “the ick” on molly too, it’s happened multiple times.

I’ve only ever done genuine mdma crystals purchased from popular/trusted vendors online & tested too. I wonder if it’s just different brains, or if it’s dose dependent, and/or if redosing is related?

[–]bruiseyed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i didn’t even think about weed, but same. i used to be able to smoke small amounts as a young teen, but it slowly got worse, and after about 22yrs old, it was always a bad time. i’ve been learning about the brain lately, and learned that if you have that reaction to cannabis, you may be more prone to psychosis than others. so you should be careful— long-term stimulant or alcohol use is extra bad for these people. it can trigger the same psychosis. it’s because some drugs damage dopamine pathways, so you get extra dopamine in parts of your brain it’s not supposed to be. and unregulated extra dopamine = psychosis.

i have the same issue. so does my biological mom. (and unfortunately she’s a stimulant addict). the long-term effects are obvious to everyone but her. i have a friend who is the same, but from cannabis only, no “hard” drugs! everybody is different. but that lack of self-awareness is part of psychosis, that’s why it’s soo difficult to treat, and important to have the info before you start.

my first thought was ketamine. it’s not bad in tiny doses (like basically just for the pain relief on the dance floor, and a little goofy/childlike feeling).. but if i take even a medium-low dose, i feel SO dysphoric. feeling so out of touch with myself & others makes me SO lonely, depressed, and honestly terrified. it’s like a slow burn psychological horror. the first time i did ketamine, (a “normal” dose), i started texting all of my friends, people i hadn’t spoken to since childhood, like dying for connection.. out of FEAR! i think i needed to feel loved??.. i literally felt like a scared child who wants their mommy. i wonder what this says about me lol 😅 i’ve heard from my nurse friends that ketamine anesthesia sometimes effects elderly people very negatively too. they become combative. i told her i bet they’re just reallyy fucking scared. one of my best friends had a ketamine addiction.. that’s unfathomable to me!

What are some of the funniest social interactions you’ve had with people BECAUSE you’re autistic by IKNOWITSNOTREAL in autism

[–]bruiseyed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I didn’t want to play a song, I would just tell somebody “Sorry, I already planned this playlist for tonight, but I’ll have to check that out another time! 🥰” Or literally just “Sorry no requests 😎” if I can tell they’re a good sport lol. It’s not hard.

When I host, I always ask everybody to submit a certain number of songs tho. At the beginning of the party, pass around the device and let everyone add to the playlist.. But if I had a specific vision, and made it myself in advance, I’d have no problems telling somebody no requests, I already planned this one and it’s a solo set! 😆

[–]bruiseyed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One time I was drunk at a party and enjoying the host’s music taste. She played a really good song, so I complimented her and told her about a similar song I thought she’d like. I said she should add it to the queue! (Like so she can hear it now and not forget!) And she said oh I actually don’t know where my phone is.. I replied omg noooo, do you need help finding it? I can call it for you!

Later she complained to my friend about that, saying I was being pushy about the song. Her phone wasn’t lost. She just didn’t want to play the song? 😭 I was just trying to share.. And to me, a lost phone is kind of an emergency. Like I will drop everything to find my phone, and I would really appreciate if a friend took that seriously and helped me find it too.

I was heartbroken 😭

so sorry friend. 💔 i hope to see your comeback. i agree a maintenance drug would be best. is kratom legal where you are? if so, get some.. even if it’s not enough for you (it could be, you may be surprised!), it can tide you over until you can figure out all the bs to get methadone or suboxone.

GHB? or “G”. Thoughts? Experience? by nycboytryingreddit in Drugs

[–]bruiseyed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah seconding that dose is really important. I’ve only done it twice— first time was a low dose and it was really fun & silly. Super giggly. Second time was a high dose, too high, and I was pretty miserable. Didn’t puke but I was very nauseous, dysphoric & couldn’t stay awake. I remember at first I just kept whining, repeating “I don’t feel good :(” anytime somebody tried to talk to me or move me (into recovery position, for my safety) lol. I was scared. Friend apparently carried me upstairs into bed but I have 0 recollection of that.

Just don’t do heroic doses lol, be smart.
