The Addicts' Lounge IV - fast times at Ridgemont, high - General

I just smoked and I'm fucked. I also have a Dynavap M to look forward to in the mail.

hows the dynavap M (or any butane powered vape really) compared to a conduction style vape?

[QUOTE=PredGD;52761288]hows the dynavap M (or any butane powered vape really) compared to a conduction style vape?[/QUOTE] Having used my buddy's Pax before, the actual high is the same once you get the technique down (which doesn't take long) It's small, which makes it very portable and easy to conceal. The bowl isn't huge, though, you'll have to pack it 1-2 times for one person to get high, which makes it suboptimal for a social setting. The price point was the kicker for me ($50). So long as you're cool with those downsides, you're getting the exact same experience as an electronic vape, minus a few minor conveniences.

I can get high off half a bowl in my M but I've not been a weed consumer for long so my tolerance is probably pretty miniscule compared to the average stoner

Long post coming. I used to browse the Drugs Discussion board on FP a lot, and hopefully have a lot of pertinent advice due to my 8 years of roughly 45 different compounds ingested. I am not exactly proud of this, but pharmacology and neuroscience interest me greatly, and I am keen to be of help if anybody has any questions. :) [QUOTE=cis.joshb;52747213]if anyone had doubts about kratom cause it's a 'legal high' and such, well, take it from me. It works. It really works. I'm having better opioid experiences than I had from popping percocets and shit. For speedballing, it's great. I'm currently on a bunch of adderall but I feel calm and euphoric from the kratom on top of the amazing energy and entertained feeling from the addy. No anxiety, no negative side effects. It also works great for smoothing out comedowns. If you've ever needed a nice, lowkey, cheap downer that doesn't make you retarded and intoxicated like xanax and other benzos do, kratom is the answer.[/QUOTE] Kratom is really great, yeah. In fact, I am on it now, but I want to explain a couple of things regarding its use. Lower doses are stimulating and higher doses are sedating. It does raise the heart rate fairly significantly, so I would not use it to speedball mate. If taken habitually, it can be hepatoxic, causing jaundice and high ALT and AST enzymes. Taking more than four table spoons in a day can cause pretty severe shaking, something that can be attenuated through eating between doses, something that also helps with any nausea experienced. Still, it's good fun. I order it from the Netherlands. I would disagree about it being better than oxycodone, but it is more euphoric, especially when stimulating doses are taken. I have found that tolerance increases very quickly though. [editline]9th October 2017[/editline] [QUOTE=danielmm8888;52759567]Pregabalin (Lyrica) is amazing. It's like a benzo except it's a hundred times stronger and it doesn't have the addictive and deadly potential that benzos have. Your body will feel warm and fuzzy. You will be relaxed and you will have no anxiety whatsoever. Gabapentin is very similar to Pregabalin but pregabalin is way better. Combine Pregabalin with Tramadol and you'll be in for a very nice experience.[/QUOTE] Benzos are not deadly unless combined with strong respiratory depressants such as opioids or high levels of alcohol. I have had pregablin for neuropathic pain before, but I prefer lorazepam personally. [editline]9th October 2017[/editline] [QUOTE=Pat.Lithium;52731336]whats something i can take to help me sleep? i have no issue getting to sleep, i usually pass out watching something on netflix around 12-1 every night. my problem is staying asleep in the early hours of the morning. it's especially bad when i have to get up in the morning for work or something. i wake up every 5-20 minutes after around 4am and its hard to get back to sleep and stay asleep. it isn't an issue when i smoke up (which i usually do) but for times when i don't have access to weed, whats something i can just keep a stockpile of and take to sleep?[/QUOTE] Diphenhydramine and promethazine are effective, non abusable sleep aids that are surprisingly effective. As some body else suggested, melatonin can also be quite useful. If you are speaking of recreational drugs, then benzodiazepines such as diazepam, and opioids are effective, but I sincerely don't recommend their use for sleeping unless it is just an occasional bout of insomnia you are planning to use them for. [editline]9th October 2017[/editline] [QUOTE=/B/rother;52715831]dont you know the medicure for anything evil consists solely of amphetamines and weed thereafter to take the edge [editline]25th September 2017[/editline] add a few seroquel for those really fidgety evenings [editline]25th September 2017[/editline] no matter how far you're down, it WILL get better. i know it doesn't seem possible, but trust me, you'll be looking back on this chapter of your life and at some point it will seem completely irrelevant and be just a simple memory[/QUOTE] It is not advisable to combine amphetamines and dopamine antagonists such as seroquel as it can play havoc with blood pressure. You will almost certainly be fine, but it is just worth noting. Long-term amphetamine use is not all that cardiotoxic, but any drug that agonises 5-HT2B is quite dangerous for the heart valve with habitual use. MDMA is a drug that agonises that receptor, but once again, it is nothing to worry about if taken responsibly. Harm reduction is the best policy. [editline]9th October 2017[/editline] [QUOTE=Ninja Gnome;52706338]what is your guy's take on modafinil as a way to stay focused? i have a feeling i am going to need some chemical help to get through the next quarter[/QUOTE] I personally found that modafinil made me quite anxious, but it is broadly accepted as an effective, not-too-recreational stimulant that is useful. My experiences with modafinil are not the norm, so try it and see what works. :) [editline]9th October 2017[/editline] [QUOTE=PredGD;52688432]yeah you're right. stims got the best of me once, maybe not wise to risk it with an even more addictive substance. I did get some paralgin forte (30mg codeine phosphate hemihydrate / 400mg acetaminophen) for the pain but seems to do nada. I take 2 of them with 2 more pills of voltaren. are opioids supposed to eliminate pain or simply make the user feel good enough to not care? I suppose the pain is slightly dulled but its still excruciating.[/QUOTE] Stims have always been my DOC. I remember when mephedrone was legal. That shit was utterly fantastic, but my god was it addictive. You have the right idea here.

Finally got some acid in after months of searching, going to be nice to recalibrate my brain before 3rd year uni, wish me luck boiz

[QUOTE=vladnag;52763387]Finally got some acid in after months of searching, going to be nice to recalibrate my brain before 3rd year uni, wish me luck boiz[/QUOTE] LSA is pretty good as well, and can be bought from eBay in the UK in Hawaiian Baby Woodrose Seed form. It is not covered by the Psychoactive Substances Act it seems, at least not in practice, even if it is in theory. Good luck. Be sure to post your experience here!

[QUOTE=vladnag;52763387]Finally got some acid in after months of searching, going to be nice to recalibrate my brain before 3rd year uni, wish me luck boiz[/QUOTE] ay good luck man i finally found a good acid plug that has the real legit thing, and his tabs are dosed at 300mcg. i may have to cut the tab in half before i trip cause i want to work my way up slowly and not blast out of my bed for 12 hours

I'm nice and baked

After 3 years off the proverbial wagon, I'm back to smoking weed. Smoked with someone recently and now I need moar to smoke again.

I have let the weed be apart of my life. Its a nice change.

I'm still waiting on my dude to show up with my 10g

[QUOTE=JustExtreme;52758880]I just got high off half a vapcap dynavap M bowl, sweet![/QUOTE] i like to consider myself a seasoned stoner but i've never even heard of this thing having found a youtube video of the product i'm still not sure what i'm looking at

[QUOTE=PredGD;52755453]anyone here who've grown to dislike MDMA? decided to take 130mg since its been a while, my SO is out and hey it's saturday. the come up was horrible, with 30 mins of nothing happening at first then 1 hour of being hit by a real slow truck. anxiety, nausea and a feeling of impending doom was all I got for an hour before it started getting a little pleasant. even then all I could really feel was that I was somewhat more tense than usual and my skin felt a little better than usual. other than that, I felt close to sober. not gonna write off MDMA completely just because of this one event but man was it unexpected to feel like shit while on MDMA.[/QUOTE] Firstly, ecstasy is often not MDMA, or is mixed with something else. Molly is the name of the crystalline form, and I tend to have great luck with that stuff. Secondly, are you taking SSRI antidepressants? They result in MDMA only agonising dopamine and noradrenaline rather than serotonin.

I've had plenty of fun with this batch earlier so I find it odd that it worked so badly this time. nah, not on any medication either.

You probably know this, but MDMA requires about 5 days between dosages to be a significant experience, as serotonin takes a while to build back up. A tip for the future is to buy 5-HTP for refilling your serotonin stocks after the experience.

I quit. I have a volcano vaporizer here in the SF northbay area I'd sell for $250. I'm willing to ship it for an extra $25.

[QUOTE=inebriaticxp;52764966]i like to consider myself a seasoned stoner but i've never even heard of this thing having found a youtube video of the product i'm still not sure what i'm looking at[/QUOTE] It's a butane lighter heated vape made of medical grade stainless steel with a cap that clicks when you reach vaping temperature. It's quite small and discrete and avoids the need for having batteries on hand which is what tends to be inconvenient about the cheaper battery powered vapes. It has a very small bowl and is very economical on herb.

Your problem is quite odd indeed.

high again baby

[QUOTE=Crooky14;52766783]Ecstasy should always just be MDMA in pill form, otherwise, they're shit pills[/QUOTE] It SHOULD be, in an ideal world, but that is not accurate. That's why marquis reagent and pillreports.com exist. People have died as a result of PMA, BZP or one of the many other dangerous substitutes for MDMA being used instead of getting the real thing, as, unlike MDMA, they and many other compounds do not have a great safety profile.

I always test mine with a marquis reagent test kit too be sure. People cut all kinds of shit into MDMA even as crystals.

currently on adderall, caffeine, l-theanine, kratom, gabapentin, nicotine, and some nice sativa bud. (and 20mg DXM to potentiate/reduce tolerance buildup of the adderall and kratom). It's a pretty nice combo, I feel light and energized but also could just zone out and stare for a long time. It feels almost like ketamine, weirdly. I'm having minor visuals, the slight bumpiness of my wall is disappearing and appearing smooth in random, constantly changing patches. It's like visual noise but instead of perceiving it as a weak overlay over my vision, it actually appears like the noise is on the surface itself, and it's shifting around in a TV static-like pattern.

I had 15mg adderall at 10AM, 30mg adderall and 4g of 'Gold' Kratom at 2PM and 15mg adderall and 3g kratom at 3:30. Got up to go to class at 6PM and felt shaky and weak and had an elevated heart rate. I felt terrible because I hadn't eaten all day. I told this to the tweakerbro in my class and he handed me an 800mg gabapentin and told me it would help with all the adderall side effects. I popped it in class. Hit my other homie's wax pen a bunch of times on the break, and got two bottled coffees. Felt so much better. Also ate a bit. Drank a coffee. Took an exam. Got out and proceeded to consume 4g of kratom, 300mg l-theanine, 15mg adderall, 20mg DXM and the second coffee at 9PM. Then begin to hit bowls of sativa cannabis out of my bong, and intake nicotine using my juul (pod vape). Honest I didn't need anything, I was just kind of adding shit to the mix because with a couple lowkey downers in my system I know I'm not gonna freak out. My heartrate was only noticeable when I was a bit anxious about how upset my stomach was, right before I had the gabapentin. It calmed, or I stopped noticing it, afterwards. My pulse does actually seem to be pounding slightly fast now that I check it. [editline]11th October 2017[/editline] [QUOTE=Ninja Gnome;52768795]that sounds like you may have taken a little bit more than 20mg of dxm [editline]11th October 2017[/editline] god i wish dxm powder was easy to come by[/QUOTE] I'm absolutely sure of the dose. It was cold medicine pills (along with a couple other things and come to think of it probably phenylephrine, which isn't very good to mix with stimulants). The dose is 2 of the little pills with 10mg each. It wasn't syrup that I sloppily poured down my throat. Things that I think may have contributed to the visuals: DXM (dissociative, also probably affects serotonin. note it was a very low dose mainly for potentiation) Adderall (minor visuals such as visual noise sometimes reported) Gabapentin (has somewhat dissociative properties and CEVs and visual disconnection are possible effects) Kratom (contains some dissociative alkaloids and is said to also act on serotonin, also described as more visual than standard opioids) Weed (tends to boost psychedelic or dissociative visuals and experiences in general) Nicotine (gives me shimmering visual noise when I get really domed) Sleep deprivation
