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

[QUOTE=mugofdoom;52990823]That's what happens when we let people who know nothing about a thing pass laws to govern that thing. You end up with disinformation spreading like wildfire and people believing it because they, for whatever reason, believe that lawmakers know what they're doing, have the people's best interest in mind and can do no harm. Luckily a new wave of research into psychedelics (and just drugs in general) is working to slowly disprove all these uninformed opinions and needless taboos. The immense therapeutic potential of psychedelics in particular is finally being studied again and the published results of these studies are spreading to more people than ever before thanks to the internet. A recent one that I read was particularly fascinated as it found that Psilocybe mushrooms cause neurogenesis (the growth of new brain cells), which seems to play a large roll in their therapeutic effects. While not all psychedelics do this (25i-NBOMe was also studied and was found to actually temporarily stunt neurogenesis), there's a very good chance that psilocin is not the only one that does this as classical psychedelics have very similar methods of action, we just need more similar studies done on other psychedelics. It's going to be very hard for people to continue to hold on to these taboos against psychedelics as we can now say, without a doubt, that they (the classics like LSD, mushrooms, mescaline, DMT, etc) are physically benign, immensely therapeutic, non-addictive, do not cause mental health deficits, can actually help to cure people of addiction, and on top of all that at least one of them actually fucking grows new brain cells. How do you justify continuing to criminalize something like that in the same league as drugs like heroin?[/QUOTE] exactly, you hit the nail on the head. ive been keeping my eye open on the new wave of research on them that happened within the last few years and i see no reason why people should be scared of psychedelics, everything they are researching about them is promising. Still, with all of the new research, I am not trying to minimize their potential risks. They have a chance to give lasting negative psychological effects such as PTSD if you have a bad trip and can bring out dormant mental illness in those with family history of it. you CAN potentially have a bad trip, they CAN tear your world apart if not treated with respect and care. there's no reason to be scared however if you know the risks well and treat them with respect

People need to inform themselves before they take the plunge and practice proper harm reduction, however none of the risks warrant the kind of negative response people give them. But I'm preaching to the choir here. Anyway speaking of removing needless taboos and educating people on proper harm reduction, does anyone here watch [url=https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCn8V3KNSgDr1Dai77_y8JrQ]PsychedSubstance on Youtube?[/url] His channel is fucking excellent, full of factual information on psychedelics and other drugs, as well as incredibly interesting and entertaining stories. Just about every video besides a few has some kind of really relatable story from this guy's past and he tells them all very well.

[QUOTE=sourcegamer101;52991059]the only danger of psychedelics is i get tracers every time i smoke weed now :v:[/QUOTE] I get tons of tracers and faint vibrating neon green and purple OEV's from weed ever since I've done psychedelics, its pretty cool. I had a horror trip about 18 months ago now and it has put me off psychedelics although it has dramatically changed my life for the better in most ways. I'm still recovering and integrating from it but it shook me to my core. It has left me with a profound fear of psychedelics as I know exactly how much havoc they are capable of unleashing on your consciousness. I think the only psych I'd revisit in my lifetime would be DMT as I had quite positive experiences with it.

anyone got a guide for using solvents to recover resin from a vape and kief buildup in a grinder? I bought some cleaning alcohol to clean my keyboard and mice, I heard you can use that to recover resin and stuff. dunno about the purity but the container says it only contains propan-2-ol so I'm assuming its in its purest form. also, any danger in using that to reclaim stuck kief in a grinder? someone on /r/trees said that there could be microscopic metal fragments in the leftover kief after a process like this and that it'd be unsafe to vape/smoke.

anyone got a good method for cleaning a bong?

It wasnt because i couldn't handle it or anything either, but because of one ex friend and his jackass parents. The 3 of us, tripping balls, walked into his apartment where his parents were in the other room. I lose a degree of self awareness of my actions to the outside world when tripping, so did all of us and in hindsight we were all pretty geeked, and probably talking very loud and acting weird. My ex friend has a stepdad that is a fucking asshole and it is very apparant from all of the times i met him in the past. Unbeknownst to all of us though, he was home much earlier than my friend expected. He stormed into the living room and yelled and cussed my friend out and told him that we need to leave. All i remember at the time was the vibe instantly turning dark and i started to panic. I was having a harder and harder time keeping composure by the second, and my racing thoughts at the time were to run as far away as i can from his place before the negative feelings consumed me. His stepdad then proceeds to get in my face and tells me to fuck off and get out. I looked like a deer in headlights, the only thing running through my brain was pure and primal fear. I could feel my heart rate quicken as it started to beat harder in my chest. I NEED to get the fuck out of there or i will lose my fucking mind, i thought as the thoughtloops entrapped me in a nearly timeless hell. Im not being entirely real with you though when i say just 'fear'. the only reason im describing the emotions as just 'fear' is, thats the biggest feeling i felt at the time. The truth is i felt a mix of complex emotions, all really horrible emotions that feel like the weight of the world has dropped on your shoulders. My heart is actually pounding as im writing this and remembering it again. The emotions i felt are ineffable if i am being truly honest. I felt so fucking lost and far away. My friend proceeds to break down and cry in front of us, and thats where i said fuck it and said "im leaving, bye." In hindsight i know that was insensitive of me, but it was my first time and i did not want to further subject myself to the mental torment i felt back there. I walked back home and had managed to shake the fear off for the most part and the rest of the trip turned out better despite still mentally shook up. It was from that point forward i knew the true capability of what psychedelics can do to you if you are in a bad setting and i learned my lesson. I just never want to feel like that ever again and its why i only trip alone for now on.

ooo a drug thread? I love me some drugs. I've done just about everything besides heroin -- tons of research chemicals as well. I'm currently withdrawing from a stimulant binge that went on a bit too long. Gotta love hexen. EDIT: Best drug experience? Probably my first trip on LSD with my first girlfriend. Lovely sex -- but a bit fractally. 1.5 tabs. Worst drug experience? When I tried to kill myself by taking 4 grams of caffeine powder and 4 tabs of acid all at once. Mmm, that was quite fun. I did manage to do one of my (at home, intro class) finals and get an 85%, though!

welcome to the cool kids club [editline]20th December 2017[/editline] where the fuck do you get dmt and lsd from? local dealers only have weed, ice and mdma, occasionally coke. i'll have to make a road trip down to sydney one of these days. only managed to get lsd from a friend who had access to the dark net but he's moved away.

i gotta say my favourite drug experience was when i was given a massive head of weed with massive tender nugs that just fell off of it. me and a couple of friends smoked it all in a month at a point where we had 0 tolerance. the atmosphere of laying on my bed watching shit on the tv in the dark while eating snacks, fucked of our faces from only a couple joints. i'm not strong enough to take a tolerance break, but i really want to have that feeling again.

Man, I was particularly sensitive to weed. Strongest feeling of disassociation I've ever felt, was my first (EDIT: why did I put 'hard' here? )drug. Had a dissassociative crisis due to the 'lag' of the body high that never went away. But nowadays I enjoy weed quite a lot -- Never taken it regularly. Always get really neat(light) acid visuals, massive body high. It's a really neat plant/drug.

still out of weed, doink boi won't answer text uh oh

any advice on how to vape hash? the stuff you can buy around here is usually pretty hard and brittle but this stuff is sticky icky and gets everywhere. breaking it apart to sandwich it will just get it all over my hands

People on 'ludes should not drive.

I do, however, know that in order to keep certain alcohols over 95% pure they add a small amount of a compound (can't remember the name) that stops the alcohol from absorbing water from the atmosphere. This compound is really dangerous to ingest. I wouldn't use any kind of cleaning alcohol that claims to be completely pure for that reason. Just get some 91% Isopropyl rubbing alcohol, it's like $2 at any pharmacy for more than you'll need and the extra 9% is just water. Just take the alcohol, pour it into the bong or pipe, shake it around and knock chunks of resin out of the pipe. Most of it will dissolve in the alcohol. Then just put it in a pyrex dish of some kind and either set it in front of a fan or apply low heat to it until it evaporates completely. And there you go, have fun with your nasty glob of black tar marijuana. You can make somewhat crude (but still dank as fuck) hash this way as well using stems. Just break up the stems, pour Iso over it and let it sit for a few hours, stirring and pressing the stems. The alcohol will turn really green, and once its done you just filter it and evaporate.

1 gram cartridge gotten: basically set for the next few weeks

i took a xanàx and everythin is so gentle

I tripped on 15mg (insufflated, so ~30-40mg oral) of 2C-B for the first time yesterday. What a fantastic psychedelic. When people described it as "Halfway between LSD and MDMA" I didn't know what i was expecting, but it's honestly a really good descriptor. The crazy and vibrant neon visuals, although the hallucinations themselves were closer to shroom style than LSD, and the clearheadedness, vibrant and energetic body high from the MDMA. I'm also not particularly sure what the big fuss is with snorting 2C-B, it wasn't pleasant, but it isn't like "snorting a lightning bolt". I spent the night mixing my 2C-B with Ket and some Nangs, which were fucken great. The lack of a comedown is a big plus for me too, I feel fine today, and last night i just stopped being high at some point and got a little tired. Seems like a fantastic festival or rave drug.

I heard that the HCl variant of 2C-B hurts a lot more than HBr which has a more cakey powder consistency due to water solubility great drug tho other than the pain when snorting [editline]21st December 2017[/editline] don't think I let my hash last night dry enough. I went out to vape it and it had this chemical taste to it. didn't get any symptoms of ingesting the alcohol so I'm assuming the amount in the hash was only enough to affect the taste. potent stuff though. I was on my ass within minutes and I usually vape until the device turns off on its own. seems like I've begun to get anxiety when I smoke which isn't that fun. I spent pretty much my entire high last night to calm myself down and almost hit a state of panic twice. I don't understand why either, its been getting gradually worse each time I've smoked lately. could it be strain specific? since I think it started happening last time I bought 10g of weed from which I made hash from vape reclaim.

HBr is still painful-ish but not much more than any crystally powder like MDMA etc. HCl is like snorting literal acid, it feels like it's melting your sinus and front of your face away. Plus I found the drip made my throat literally swell up, that wasn't fun. Only thing worse I've snorted is RTI-111 which.... I have no words for.
