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

[QUOTE=SataniX;51977223]Nope. [url]http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/meth/body/#2[/url][/QUOTE] The article mentions binging for a weeks, not eating right and poor general hygiene. No shit you run into health problems. The tightening of blood vessels happens on with dexamp too, thats a subscription medicine. I don't think they'd give that out if it fucks you up on the long run. [editline]18th March 2017[/editline] Not trying to say meth is perfectly safe but binging on anything will fuck you up.

guys is there any way to cut off an impending trip or generally diminish a high? I want to know what to avoid and not avoid, situationally.

Just be aware of the type of benzo you have / appropriate dosage. Oh, and how long it works. Nothing like taking Etizolam to knock yourself out of an LSD trip, then wake up again still tripping when it's done.

What if the air we breath is deluding our cognitive and psychological perspective of reality, and the drugs release us from its imprisoned mind of thought. Maybe DMT and LSD truly is the real perception. What if this means we're actually drowning the fish when we put it back in, when it was actually only trying to get air. Holy fucking shit it all seems so clear right now. I have to tell the world but I do not know how.

[QUOTE=sourcegamer101;51976052]when u have a joint but no lighter[/QUOTE] one time i used my stove to light a blunt

Feeling pretty sad, had to give up weed as panic attacks took over. Ever since I had a bad trip on acid where I was convinced I was dying I've had an enormous fear of dying early. There's lots of things in life I still want too see an accomplish so anxiety manifests around dying and missing out on life. When I smoke weed now 9/10 I have a panic attack and believe there is something wrong with me physically (I'm hypervigilant to changes in physical sensation and level of consciousness). Its a damn shame because before I had this fear I loved weed. Has anyone ever experienced this kind of thing before? I'm finding it very difficult to overcome.

I think it might just be that the kinda person that would binge meth isn't the most responsible in the first place. [editline]18th March 2017[/editline] Also worth noting that there is a prescription medicine in the US (Desoxyn) that's based on meth.

I'd recommend not taking any drugs until you start to feel actually better. If that doesn't work, then I guess you'll have to learn to overcome it. When I had a bad trip I was shaken up for about 2 weeks. Every day after it i smoked weed and every time i felt extremely paranoid. eventually the feelings just stopped. That's my advice, hope it can help you

Also deep controlled breathing while, before and after smoking.

Being scared of it happening again when you smoke just creates more fear therefore contributing to panic attacks happening. It's very hard to overcome your fear once you've had a traumatic experience on a drug tho, so you should take a break from whatever triggers it.

Its a damn shame because before I had this fear I loved weed. Has anyone ever experienced this kind of thing before? I'm finding it very difficult to overcome.[/QUOTE] i actually used to have anxiety or panic attacks every time i used to smoke, and that originally put me off weed. All those times ive tried weed before actually smoking everyday, would be spaces of weeks or months since ive last smoked, and that made my tolerance naturally stay low, so 4 hits from a pipe was like the equivalent of like 10 blunts for me. In that timespan where id smoke on and off, what I used to do to combat this is a technique that always worked for me no matter where i am. the technique is literally just to stop giving a fuck. Yep. If i knew then that i was blazed as fuck, but i had to worry about something that could give me a bit of anxiety, if i was high, that anxiety would naturally be 10x more intense. The thing is though, the feeling of being happy is also amplified 10x, as well as indifference or not caring, naturally. I'd say to myself "damn, im just lost in the moment. im having fun and i dont even give a fuck about negative shit or life right now. im just happy" similarly, if i was in social interactions, or places with lots of people, id be really paranoid as if everybody was watching me behind my back. I remembered that my feeling of indifference is also amplified 10x, so if i was in a place with a lot of people id just say to myself "i dont give a fuck if anyone thinks i am weird or watching me" and immediately a weight felt like it was lifted from my shoulders. in your case, just say something to reassure yourself that death or dying doesnt really matter right now and you wont die because of smoking weed

When you start to feel things and freak out about them (common ones for me are "is this feeling in my stomach my intestines detaching and exploding and me dying???"), do not run away from it; instead, focus on both the physical sensation and the mental sensation. See that they are just sensations. You are not freaking out; your mind, in the vigilant paranoid state, is simply trying to keep you updated on [i]potential[/i] dangers. It is simply working overtime and giving a superfluous pop-up on your HUD. If you just sit with that fear and show it that as time progresses your condition is not in fact deteriorating, that from extended observation it is a false alarm, it will burn itself out. Now this technique might not work first time right off the bat; it's more of an attitude change and a new diagnostic behavior. When you make this process of sitting with your fear a habit, and form a better relationship with your fear, seeing it as a friend and not an enemy, the panic attacks will fade and you'll feel a whole heck of a lot better smoking weed and in your life in general.

Hey everyone, just recently picked up a bunch of fire live resin. This glob goes out to y'all. :yarr:

[editline]18th March 2017[/editline] Well yeah, but saying that the effects aren't from the drug isn't really accurate.[/QUOTE] Yeah your right i chose the wrong words. What I meant to say if the stigma attached to meth is wrong if you don't abuse it/not any worse than any other stimulant. Same with any drug. [editline]19th March 2017[/editline] Meth for me was hyped up to be this life destroying so good you'll be hooked for life type drug. I was scared of it. Tried it once and found it was almost exactly the same as the prescription stimulants i was already abusing. Which made me super sceptical against all the scare mongering against it.

I've had two extra-strength 5-Hour Energys today, they give a slight rush when you drink them but now I don't even feel like I'm going fast, feels like I'm taking stim methadone or something On the bright side I haven't used a stim other than caffeine in a few weeks now, feelsgoodman. I am on a path to a more sober daily life yay My goal for my substance habits is to keep my caffeine and THC intakes to reasonable amounts (i.e. slowing or stopping once there's an effect going instead of diving in endlessly) in the morning and night, respectively, with psychedelic usage on the weekends

spring break goals to hole on 3-meo one day and drop 2 tabs of acid on another

I spent my spring break working for my dad completely sober and also my dog died

im seriously considering quitting caffeine. it just doesnt give me that boost that i used to get when id have my morning cup and i get these stupid fucking headaches throughout the day if i dont drink coffee or monster. im tired of waking up and literally feeling like absolute shit before i get my first cup in the morning, and it was never like that before. best way to describe the morning feeling is: 1. wake up with a mild headache 2. virtually no motivation to get out of bed unless i push myself 3. if i wake up later in the day like around 12 compared to when i usually get up (9-10am) the symptoms above become more intense + i get body chills I don't know if im gonna quit cold turkey or ween myself off slowly, but my plan most likely is to start drinking caffeine again once my tolerance is back at 0

How difficult is it to learn growing hemp seeds for own usage? Or is it all about doing it over and over again and get better at it
