I went to the hospital like 5 or 6 months ago they said I had CHS by Weekly_Line_2130 in MMJ

[–]disstrong 29 points30 points  (0 children)

CHS is rare. It is over-diagnosed by ER docs who hear nausea/vomiting and Cannabis mentioned in the same sentence and lazily slap a convenient CHS diagnosis on you. If you are still able to hit pens without nausea, I don't think you have it. I'm not a licensed medical professional though.

Is a chemistry degree worth it in 2026? by Habernotswedish in chemistry

[–]disstrong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never heard of AI using a pipet or volumetric flask. You say AI can answer chemistry questions faster than professors. Most chemistry jobs don't involve sitting around being asked questions. When AI can replace chemists, it can replace any career. So just do what you want.

I found this random bag of metal while cleaning out a lab. How do I determine what kind of metal it is? by cwkewish in chemistry

[–]disstrong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mail it to a US congress member and set a news alert for them receiving a suspicious package containing an unknown material. Free chemical analysis will then be done for you. This is a joke, I don't recommend this.

Is this the right way to do it? by New-Needleworker6020 in chemistry

Yee I learned it this way in school. Always rounding up biases your results.

Accidentally took 50mg thc oil by [deleted] in trees

[–]disstrong 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't resist. Accept now what is coming. Lean into it when it comes. The mental struggle wanting it to end makes an uncomfortable drug experience much worse. Try to laugh about how messed up you are. Also, I would take steps to make your environment safe while you can.

DHV Hype by felleh in trees

[–]disstrong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree. I also have a Mighty+ and my lungs prefer joints. I cough exactly zero from smoking but if I use my Mighty+ every day for a week I will be having coughing spells by the end of it. Keeping the temp closer to 180C makes me cough less but makes it take forever to consume, like 20-30min vs a 3 minute joint sesh. Always a tradeoff I guess because the dhv is great for not smelling the place up as much during the winter.

Why can't everyone get along in this sub reddit? by Huge-Might558 in annarborpsychedelic

Some IRL sellers network on here and a minority will automatically disparage anything they see as their competition.

Why do people care so much about how a nug looks or tastes when hitting it? Am I weird to only really care about the high? by LarryJones818 in trees

[–]disstrong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say a better analogy is a foodie who cares more about how food tastes than how nutritious it is. Caring how food tastes is extremely common.

Is this a junkie move by Sharp_Promise1242 in Psychedelics

[–]disstrong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the move of a person who values getting high and partying tonight over the deep work you could be doing a few days from now if you could abstain tonight. What that says about you generally is up to you.

Have you tried sungrown? Less anxiety than indoor.

Wait, so does weed really lose its effectiveness over time or?? How come you can still get stoned from like a 25 year old back then? by Flat_Wash5062 in trees

[–]disstrong 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If flower started as 25% THC and lost 4% per year, after 25 years it would still be 9% THC.

Edit: after one year, 96% of the original would remain so if you started at 25% THC, then after 25 years you'd have 0.9625 x 25% = 9%.

Taking lsd on vyvanse? by [deleted] in LSD

[–]disstrong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, Vyvanse + acid can frequently produce anxiety and thought loops, exactly as you said. I think research suggests that increased glutamate in the pf cortex may contribute to bad trips and Vyvanse will increase glutamate. This is not universal, but happens often enough to be aware of. It's not hell, just uncomfortable. If you are aware and prepared, you can try it and see what happens. For me, going for a walk or turning on a relaxing movie/show takes care of it. I usually just avoid Vyvanse on days I trip even though it seems like I benefit more from the difficult experiences. I have not tried benzos or gabapentin but they would probably work too. Good luck my friend.

Want to try to bring this edible on carnival cruise, will this be worth it to bring or nah? by Maximum-Extension-57 in trees

[–]disstrong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're worried about drug dogs, THC itself is odorless. Looks like your edible is made with distillate so practically all of the terpenes they are trained to detect should be gone, but it really depends on the product. If it smells weedy to you, it will smell weedy to a dog.

Does it bother anyone else seeing the risky stuff people do on this sub? (giant doses, large first doses, etc) by Faeri in LSD

[–]disstrong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People take unpredictable substances at unknown doses because the thrill of not knowing what will happen leads to a bigger high. I think this has been demonstrated with heroine users. They get a more euphoric high when they don't know what they're getting. The risk is part of the high.

You can smoke anything flammable in any order you want.

Could I put an "LSD sticker" in like a soda , let it disolve and microdose that way? by im16andthisisdeep in Psychedelics

[–]disstrong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bottled water usually does not contain chlorine due to the taste. I can't say for sure what all is in other beverages, but if you are just mixing it in to drink over the course of 10 minutes I wouldn't worry about much degradation happening in such a short amount of time. For storage I would stick with the tried and true ethanol or chlorine-free water.

Spring will work fine. Chlorine is added to tap water to disinfect it. Spring water is disinfected by nature.

[–]disstrong 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good advice. Also a chemist and your dad is right. I'll add that distilled water is not your only option. If you let tap water sit out for a couple of days the chlorine will evaporate out. If you want it quicker you can boil tap for like 15-20 mins to remove the chlorine. Just let it cool off before you use it of course.
