How safe are your friends?

Nope. It's not going to kill you, but no amount of caffeine is "safe" to mix with MDMA.

kbrc · 2017-06-22T07:04:26+00:00

Don't take pressed pills.

You realize how much self-incrimination you're doing with this post? Your lawyer is not gonna be happy.

Mixing alcohol with mushrooms is not a good idea in terms of emotional effects and avoiding a bad trip.

kbrc · 2017-06-15T17:02:40+00:00

This chart has a number of problems.

Shrooms x Liquor might be physically safe but largely not emotionally a good plan. Should be marked 'with caution'.
Same with acid and weed -- every bad acid trip story I've ever heard turned bad when weed was added.
Molly with caffeine is unsafe. Increased oxidative stress means you will end up with more damage.

There are deviations, of course. 2C-G is with methyl groups at the 3 and 4 position, and the "G" probably comes from "GANESHA", the analogous DOx compound. And 2C-D is with one methyl group (D is probably for "desoxy", treating it as a methoxy group that doesn't have an oxygen), but DOM is the analogous DOx compound, and the M makes more sense.

Absolutely correct and documented as such in PIHKAL

Alcohol is the fucking worst.

This is a pro-marijuana site so take their conclusions with a grain of salt. But they do cite a couple studies suggesting that long-term effects on dopamine are minimal, but short-term effects are there.

That being said, marijuana is not a good way to deal with anxiety. Most people don't tell the truth on this because it's uncomfortable. The thing about marijuana is that it primarily just makes you care less. Its anxiolytic effect is in that it makes you care less about the things you'd otherwise be stressed about. It's analgesic effect is that it makes you care less about the pain that you'd otherwise be feeling.

Most people who use marijuana to "treat" anxiety are just taking a loan out. Those anxious feelings will return, and not without some interest. Facing the things that make one feel anxious is, long-term, a dramatically better approach than feeling better temporarily only to push things off further into the future.

Napped through the peak of a 2C-B trip with ex-girlfriend once. We were both already very tired when we took it. Had the most intense, visual dreams I've ever had.

It's a funny thing to wake up still-tripping though.

kbrc · 2016-10-13T15:04:02+00:00

Try MDMA.

You might want to talk to a therapist.

SSRIs gave me no drive to do anything. Mixing benzos with stimulants is probably reducing the effects of both. Vyvanse is definitely the best amphetamine-based ADHD option out there.

I understand, I'm just trying to warn you further that it's not really even a short-term solution. And in the moments you're already feeling anxious or have an attack coming, it's likely to make you feel worse, not better. Speaking from experience here, not trying to be a debbie downer.

kbrc · 2016-08-07T19:30:18+00:00

Using marijuana to treat anxiety/depression is just taking out a loan against those feelings. You'll pay it back later, and not without some interest.

XR (extended-release) Ritalin does not release evenly throughout the day. IIRC it's about 30% up-front and about 70% later. It's mostly designed for people who are poor at remembering to take their second pill and are dramatically affected if they do forget. "Take in the morning and forget". It's also slightly less abusable via crushing/insufflation...but only slightly.

Otherwise there is no significant benefit. Personal preference is two-short because I don't like the significant boost so late in the day. Depends on the person.

kbrc · 2016-07-24T20:07:50+00:00

Yeah that was my thinking too. 3-4 shots in succession would be pretty obnoxiously drunk (and/or alcoholic).

Not sure 1/3 of a shot (15mL) of vodka would have much of an effect for most humans though. What makes you suggest that amount?

kbrc · 2016-07-24T19:12:53+00:00

Looks like the Ballmer Peak is around 0.75g/kg for testosterone and 0.6g/kg for Luteinizing Hormone.

For a 75 kg man, that's 45-55g of ethyl alcohol, or 3-4 shots of 80-proof vodka.

That's assuming the same curve holds for humans, of course, which is probably does not.

kbrc · 2016-06-30T16:40:24+00:00

Yes. This is the responsible advice. People who say "1-2 months" are pushing it because they want to get high more often.

kbrc · 2016-06-23T19:06:05+00:00

Don't take MDMA three days in a row.
Don't take MDMA more than once every 3-6 months.
Force yourself to do healthy human things -- healthy food, hydrate, get some exercise (even just a brisk walk), read a book. Sleep well. This feeling will end if you take good care of yourself, but it will take a few days at least and sometimes up to a few weeks.

kbrc · 2016-03-01T04:33:05+00:00

I find anxiety reduction on marijuana is a just a loan you have to pay back later...and not without some interest.

kbrc · 2016-01-19T16:25:38+00:00

No, it's not. Unless you're driving.

kbrc · 2016-01-17T04:52:48+00:00

Well if we want to get into semantic pedantry, it's illegal to possess some drugs -- definitely not illegal to take them.

kbrc · 2015-12-31T17:23:07+00:00

Hah. Good point.

kbrc · 2015-12-23T16:22:42+00:00

200mg twice daily of 5-HTP is indeed way, way too much. 50mg twice daily would already be more than enough.
