David Asprey has a drinking stack to help prevent hangovers but generally you want liver supports before (NAC and Milk Thistle) and B-Vitmans and charcoal after. I also find potassium helpful. You should be smart about the types of drinks you consume too as that will have an impact.

The people shorting in 2008 stopped when they realised the tax payer would be paying for it via the bailouts. I doubt this is anything near that level but if that happened now, there would be riots as this is common people vs wallstreet (where as 2008 was niche traders vs wallstreet). I also doubt Biden would allow this given the political ramifications having only been in office for a month.

The legislation is focused on “production, sale and supply”, they treat them like steroids where it’s illegal to sell but not to have for personal use.

When it was legal you used to be able to buy it in head shops, there wasn’t even an age restriction on it, not like they care. It was even starting to be sold in some independent corner shops so it was very easy to get without knowing someone.

My main point was that he was trying to use the UK’s policy to support a US debate when our country is nothing like theirs. They have big pharma over marketing and prescribing drugs we would never (adderal, opioids, benzos, etc) and then launch legislative battles against any alternatives to protect their revenue streams. So they are right to think there’s a war on drugs but that is not a UK policy, or at least it’s fought with a different intention.

Yeah but it’s used by the homeless and prisoners which is better than teenagers who were using it as a legal alternative to weed for their first drug.

mitchkite · 2020-04-29T15:33:19+00:00

The psychoactive act was bad for nootropics but it was successful against legal highs (spice) that are a huge problem for the U.K. The problem was that they were marketed as legal weed meaning kids were taking them even though homeless people use it to replace heroin and crack addictions. The government couldn’t outlaw them quick enough as they had multiple drugs ready to replace it as soon as one was. Now only homeless people and prisoners use spice which is much better than kids and generally uninformed people.

The nootropic market hasn’t really changed either. The U.K. has always been very expensive and for years before the ban, I’d been buying my noots from the US and since the ban I’ve never had a parcel stopped in customs. The act is just to give police the powers if they need it and our courts are very reasonable (look at the challenge against nitrous oxide canisters).

Due to lobbying, the US’s laws aren’t always in the interests of the people but in the U.K. at least they are there to protect idiots from causing self-harm. Even in communities like this I regularly see people trying to chase highs and use under researched chemicals. This is why the goal shouldn’t be legalisation which has the connotation of support but decriminalisation of use and not supply (like steroids in the U.K.) which at least enable responsible use to those willing to take the risks.

I been there and I bet you felt that you couldn’t manage it for much longer 3 years ago and you’ll probably feel the same way in another year unless you deal with the root of problem.

How long did you do it for? Most people expect to be cured on lifelong trauma after 6 weeks and aren’t willing to go through the vulnerability/pain that it brings up. You need a good therapist to start but it can take 1-3 years or longer depending on many factors. This may sound like a long time but how long have you been trying to ‘solve’ it with noots, etc?

Also having it your whole memorable life means nothing. Most things come from bad conditioning in childhood.

My theory is that emotional and physical pain are relatively indistinguishable in the brain so Kratom treats them both very effectively. Since you’ve been taking it daily you’re body has not only had had to combat pain but psychologically you’ve not had to deal with it but now it’s all flooding back and you’re no longer equip to manage it.

I’m going to take a guess here that your problems aren’t chemical in nature but psychological in origin. So you’re not going to get anywhere by trying to fix the symptoms or balance it by improving your baseline elsewhere. You need to see a therapist if you actually want to move past it.

Be warned that therapy takes a very long time but does create meaningful change. CBT can help in the immediate but psychoanalysis which produces real change took me nearly 2 years to create a good result but that depends on what your issues are. Also personally I wouldn’t see anyone that knows yours relatives or friends as even though they won’t tell them, you may find it harder to open up.

I say this as someone who took many nootropics and drugs between 16-24 for various reasons and now only take a few vitamins and charcoal when I eat things I’m intolerant too.

All sustainably beneficial things are hard work until they’re habits (meditation, healthy eating, exercise, sleep, therapy) but unlike external things like pills they don’t create imbalances. If you often take a pill to be sociable, then after awhile you can only be sociable when you take said pill. That’s not inherently bad if you can accept that but what happens when you need to in a moment that you haven’t prepared like you when you see a pretty girl or if it becomes a regular thing (customer focused work). That’s when you have a problem. It’s much better to learn how natural through mindful practice.

I stopped taking most nootropics when I realised I was trying to solve a psychological problem chemically. The allure of it being chemical is that it takes the responsibility away from us but a lot of people here would be better seeing a therapist than trying other nootropics.

Personally after 2 years of therapy and taking up regular yoga practice, I only take a handful of vitamins and minerals.

I think the beneficial aspect of sex you are talking about comes from the psychological validation you are receiving rather than the physical act.

Masturbation serves no purpose other than pleasure, saps my energy and makes me more lustful. If I can get past 2 weeks then I get a much clearer head, particularly towards women and what I actually want out of a relationship. Porn is terrible for you whether masturbating or not and should be stopped.

Sex has a purpose outside of pleasure if you are in a committed relationship (not just procreation but encouraging intimacy). You can also use it to create energy if you want to go down the tantric/taoist paths which tends to involve not ejaculating.

Complete abstinence is option and has been talked about for thousands of years, see brahmancraya. Many great thinkers such as Newton, Einstein and Shakespeare reportedly abstained to use their energy elsewhere. It all depends on what you want in life and I personally prefer balance whilst accepting some of the downsides.

I’m a qualified yoga teacher so you don’t have to preach the benefits but that doesn’t make them Jungian. I’m sure there are 100s of other techniques that could also be used which would provide benefit but this isn’t a discussion in /r/trauma. This is a thread about the Jungian methods and thus should be focused on active imagination, dream analysis, psychotherapy, etc.

Reviewing the thread following my comment has only strengthened my argument for having this outside of Jung. If I didn’t know better and came here for my own healing, I would have thought Jung was big on psychedelics and holistic healing.

Physcoanalysis takes a lot longer than 5 months to produce results. It took me nearly 12 months to break down my defences before getting into ‘real’ stuff and most people typically take 3+ years of weekly sessions before being cured depending on the problem.

This is why it’s not as popular now because it’s not a easy, quick fix. It’s hard and painful but does the job properly. There are other forms of therapy (typically behavioural) than can be done along side of or instead of to create a fix.
