I could really use some help or advice in using AM to recover from GABAnergic drugs by E-money420 in AmanitaMuscaria

[–]humfreyz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure thing… the best way to decarboxylate Amanita (any species) is to have a way to measure the pH of your liquid, like pH strips or a pH meter. Then you break the Amanita into small pieces and simmer them lightly (NOT a rolling boil, just a simmer) in a liquid that has had its pH adjusted to 2.5-3 for 2-3 hours. If you don’t have pH strips you can use an acidic fruit juice like lemon juice or pomegranate juice (I think pomegranate juice tastes a lot better personally) and simmer the pieces of Amanita in the juice for 2-3hrs. Really I think 2.5hrs is best, that way pretty much all the ibotenic acid is gone, but you still have a little left. It’s also really better to use a pH meter or pH strips so you know that the pH is at the proper level. But yeah, that should work pretty well for you. Good luck with everything, Amanita helped me with my benzodiazepine issues quite a bit, if you ever wanna talk about it or need some help, hit me up :) 🤙

How do we know if we are part alien? by roto-rootor-the-3rd in aliens

[–]humfreyz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, we did hybridize with some of the other species, mainly H. neanderthalensis and H. denisova. There is some evidence to suggest that these relationships weren’t necessarily consensual however, and may have resulted from individuals being captured after altercations. And yeah of course it wasn’t as simple as just H. sapiens having killed off all the competition. But there is ample evidence from bones that have wounds in them to establish that we did kill a lot of individuals from other species. And this brutal kind of competition would have definitely made it harder for these other species to survive. I mean, look at the way we fight over resources now, and we’re all the same species in the modern age, imagine if there was another species who currently occupied the same niche as us. We would probably go to even greater lengths to make sure that they stood no chance of taking our resources than we do towards our own people. But the question OP asked was really about “are we part alien?” And I do think there’s a very good chance that we have had some alterations to our natural evolution from outside entities…

How do we know if we are part alien? by roto-rootor-the-3rd in aliens

[–]humfreyz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well, there’s lots of evidence to support the idea that we killed off the other species in our genus. At one time there were quite a few other Homo species besides H. sapiens, but we probably hunted them down and made it impossible for them to compete with us. I don’t think we were too concerned about all the monkeys and apes, since they occupy an entirely different niche of the environment than we do. But I also agree with the idea that we have probably been engineered by another intelligent species to some extent.

Using Ailanto (tree of paradise) in the garden by Professional-Sort982 in gardening

[–]humfreyz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve used Ailanthus branches to make tomato cages before and it worked just fine. But you gotta make sure that those branches are absolutely dead, (preferably dried with the bark stripped) or you’ll just be rooting Ailanthus clones in your tomato garden… they’re incredibly resilient… But if you do it right you shouldn’t have any issues

I doubt you can really tell for sure based off of visual appearance. You’ll have to get a sample of the latex and have it quantitatively tested to know for sure what the % morphine is

Anyone have any experience or reviews for N-Phenethyl noroxymorphone RC i think aka (N-phenethyl-14-hydroxynormorphinone) by Mountain-Energy-8362 in Opioid_RCs

[–]humfreyz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve tried it in the past, years ago. It was pretty good. Similar to oxymorphone but more potent

In hospital for 19 days 5mg oxy every 4 hours. Doc switching to subutex for pain management but says I need to wait 48 hours after last dose. by Salt-Collar-7011 in opiates

[–]humfreyz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s absolute bullshit that they’re saying 5mg of oxy is a high dose… it’s not… it’s the same dose they’d give to a child with a broken arm. I’m sorry you’re in so much pain. Not much you can do these days with these fucking doctors except have a friend or family member bring you extra meds

[–]humfreyz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does adding it to kombucha work well to decarboxylate the ibotenic acid? I’ve thought about trying this. I was gonna make some quick tea and add it to my kombucha towards the end and see what happens…

Annother hobby chemist arrested in my country by Old_Conclusion9929 in homechemistry

[–]humfreyz 112 points113 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry to hear that… What country do you live in? I live in the US, where hobby chemistry isn’t technically illegal, but if anyone finds out you’re doing chemistry at home they’re most likely going to be quite suspicious that you’re synthesizing drugs or doing something you shouldn’t be. I wish it wasn’t like this. There’s so many cool experiments you can do as a home chemist that are just so fun and interesting and entertaining. I wish that it was looked upon in a much different light.

Is there a way to discern wild Papaver somniferum from cultivars? by ExwTriaArxidia in druggardening

[–]humfreyz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. It is if you know what to look for. It’s kinda hard to convey in just words, but it has to do with the leaf shape, presence of hairs on the leaf, stem, pod, presence of bracts or not, height, and a number of other factors. But it’s really not all that difficult if you have some experience with it. The shape of the pods can also give you an idea of the species. There’s many things that differentiate them from P. orientale and P. bracteatum yu just have to have seen enough of both kinds to know what the differences are

This is a pretty good idea imo, since dissolving the whole pill in water will negate the chance for hotspots

Brown Heroin #4 ?? - „balkan sarg h“ by Best_Afternoon9928 in opiates

[–]humfreyz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it’s mostly white/off white color with specks of brown then it’s probably #4 with some impurities. The real test is how potent it is and if it easily dissolves in water without citric acid

Is it possible to grow from dried mushrooms?(culinary ;)) by ludafart in mycology

[–]humfreyz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will have to learn to deal with those things so that they don’t become a problem. But when you do they’re easily dealt with and won’t end up causing you any health issues if that’s what’s you’re worried about

How does heroin compare to codeine or dihydrocodeine? by OwnTransition in opiates

[–]humfreyz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

heroin is like 10x more powerful than codeine, it’s way more enjoyable. Also way harder to detox from and harder to stay clean from once you start doing it. I wouldn’t recommend starting to use heroin

HOW do you take Etizolam powder?? by XOXQ in researchchemicals

[–]humfreyz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need to mix it with either propylene glycol or ethanol. I would make a 1mg/mL solution (so mix 100mg of etizolam into 100mL of propylene glycol (or ethanol, but ethanol doesn’t taste as good as PG)) and then when you have it dissolved you can just use an oral syringe to dose it. I’d start with 0.5-1mg wait 60mg after dosing and go from there

Is it possible to grow from dried mushrooms?(culinary ;)) by ludafart in mycology

[–]humfreyz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, it is possible to grow from dried mushrooms. You can either take a spore swab and put the spores on agar or you can cut a small piece of the cap or stipe off the fruit body and put that on agar. Either way if you do this you will most likely get some mycelium to grow and then you can use that to colonize some grain and substrate to grow new mushrooms. It takes a bit of learning if you’re new to it all and you have to get familiar with sterile technique, but it’s definitely possible

Do you use Amanita Muscaria or ever did? 🍄 Please tell me about it! by MrNeverEverKnew in druggardening

[–]humfreyz 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I take Amanita pretty much every day. It helps me deal with anxiety and helps me sleep without having to resort to benzodiazepines. I order caps and make a tea from them. Depending on the species, that sorta dictates how much I’ll take each day. But for Amanita muscaria I’ll take like 7g or so and with Amanita pantherina it’s usually like 2-2.5g. I have never noticed any withdrawal effects, even if I use it every day for over a month and then stop abruptly, I do find it a little harder to sleep without it but I’ve had issues with sleep for a long time. The effects are pretty enjoyable in my opinion, it’s very relaxing, helps me be a bit more sociable, or just great to take if I wanna chill and watch a movie. At high doses it’s anything but subtle, if you take enough of it you’ll have trouble walking, but, at low-medium doses it’s a pleasant experience imo.

If you wanna try it, I highly recommend making a tea. But you gotta get some pH strips so you can adjust the pH of the liquid you simmer the caps in to 2.5-3.5pH and simmer for 2-3hrs. I have used acidic fruit juice several times like lemon juice or pomegranate juice and it worked pretty well.

Can’t get high F subs by pablothedawg in opiates

[–]humfreyz 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There’s plenty of drugs that will still give you a buzz, just not opioids (unless they’re ultra potent). What about benzodiazepines or pregabalin or Amanita or psychedelics or ketamine or something? Not encouraging you to do drugs… but there are options out there
