No, it was some benzodiazepene analog they were getting through gray-market sources as "research chemicals." Believe it was called phenazepam, as referenced earlier in the thread.

Today, a more elegant solution is at hand thanks to the Library’s Web Archiving Program, and together we’re piloting a project to archive websites that document Internet cultures.

The best way to get a grip on what collections documenting internet culture and folklore would look like is to take a quick look at the initial list of sites we are collecting, or hoping to collect. By no means is this intended to be exhaustive, it’s really just a first step at collecting a slice of some of the records of digital culture.

The Imodium overdose (desperate opiate addicts can use Imodium to get high at near-deadly doses to be effective for them) was in a theatre. His husband was the one who posted the story in e/n.

Yeah, she did ask what they were and strongly inferred she'd use them herself if they were anything 'good'. At least that's the way I read her post, and I was sober at the time.

The guy who pulled a gun on his wife, got real paranoid, and was mad she reported his phenazepam usage to his pain pill doc died in a hot car, but probably not from the heat. He'd picked up his script for some strong rear end opiate, and had taken one from the new bottle. Plus definitely had phenazepam in his system, plus who knows what else. Enough joose & one strong opiate pill may have been enough. Mixing opiated and benzos is extremely dangerous, you can mix the same doses ten times, be fine nine times, and die from being so relaxed you stop breathing the tenth time.

His wife definitely implied she'd eat the pills if they were "good," but I honestly can't judge her too much because her husband had just died. That's me.


Immodium guy was more recent, and an E/N post if anyone is looking. Immodium is technically an opiate, but it's a tiny dose and normally doesn't cross the brain-blood barrier, so the brain feels no effects. There's some other OTC medicine people apparently take along with boxes of Immodium that causes it to cross the BBB, and give some kind of high. Doing this also tends to make people's hearts stop, I can't remember why. IIRC, that's how Immodium Husband died.

Does anyone else remember that quasi-legal opiod powder? Not krokidill, not Fentanyl. It was something you bought at head shops, wasn't very strong. Pretty sure it's been banned now.

Goons were taking it in large quantities. Apparently it was pretty nasty. I remember a photo of it mixed with peanut butter. It was grainy, green peanut butter due to the mix. I just remember going "why peanut butter of all loving things? It's an opiate, it causes constipation."

That would be our good friend Kratom, a leafy powder substance that can be useful for manic depression and BPD in small doses, and otherwise abused by people for hope that it will give them a high

The Kratom thread brought us great moments like a dude doing a common way of ingesting the nasty-tasting powder at his workplace, the toss and wash, where you toss the powder in your mouth while you have a mouthful of water. He did it, a coworker started a conversation with him, then midway through his coworker talking he exhaled through his nose and green powder blew out. :discourse:

That same thread also had these SUPER high concentrate juices you could buy from sites that apparently hosed you up good, and after some goons got a hold of it, sent it to a lab to get tested. Ended up having zero Kratom, and it was mostly based off a different Chinese research chemical.

breakfast machine music starts as goon stares at quasi-legal substance / potentially lethal chinese death powder used to kill stray dogs, in their hand. they stroke their chin quizzically, glancing across their kitchen. camera slowly pans across piles of empty pill bottles, bloody tissues, then, alone, on the shelves, a can of peanut butter stands innocently. camera cuts back to goon, slowly zooms in as a grin slowly grows across their face

Kratom shitpaste!

And the "extract" (which was probably just a research chemical opiate in an alcohol solution - one of the Vice dudes got a sample tested and found it contained o-dsmt, a Tramadol relative, but thread regulars insisted the extract can't be o-dsmt because it doesn't ~~feel the same~~)... anyway, that stuff was the very definition of "legal internet heroin"

Fututor Magnus posted:

A few months back, my roommate and I decided to dose on some 25I-NBOMe we had recently purchased. We took the doses around 8pm on a Friday night. We were glad the week as over and we were excited to trip. He took 1 blotter and I took 2. Each blotter was advertised to be about 500 ug.

I consider myself an experienced tripper having taken (Mushroom 5 times, LSD 15+ times, 2CE 1 time). I have taken over 1000ug of LSD before without ill effects. I usually have great mental control over my trips.

The onset was very rapid, within 30 minutes I was having some nice tracers and visual distortions. At this point, I felt a burning energy coming from deep inside me - as I have before on other hallucinogens. We ate ginger and smoked cannabis to help with any nausea. By 1 hour, I was having full blown crisp visuals: tessellation and patterns, movement, color changes in the environment. Needless to say, I was very happy with the visual part of the trip.

However, the energy inside me was getting stronger. I felt somewhat uneasy and crazy, as if the energy was trying to take me over. I had a desire to go on a run, and I though that if I started running I would likely never stop. To calm myself down, I went outside on my porch. The trees surrounding me we relaxing, and I felt at peace. Yet something was still off. I felt like I couldn't trust myself. It was as if I could feel the rational part of me slipping away as the trip got stronger.

The first sign that something was wrong was when I started to climb over the balcony (our porch is about 15 feet high). 'I think it would be cool to jump' I told my roommate. Part of me assured me I would be able to jump without any problem, but deep inside me I could feel what was left of my inhibitions begging me not to. 'Yea but then you'll have to walk back up,' said my clever roommate. Reluctantly I followed him inside.

I knew I was loosing control, but I was trying to hold on to reality as long as I could. After a few minutes of sitting on the couch, I could not take it anymore. I stood up and went over to the wall pressing my chest up against it. I banged my arms against the wall yelling stupidly. I felt an amazing satisfaction to let go, to stop resisting the energy within me, to express myself loudly.

And thats the last thing I remember.

The police report goes on to describe how I flipped the glass living room table. I started playing with pieces of broken glass, throwing them like nun-chucks into the walls. I turned and threw a piece at my other roommate. I missed, barely slicing his throat. He locked himself in his room. My tripping roommate tried to grab me and stop me. I beat him to the ground, giving him a concussion. Then I took of my clothes completely, and ran around my street. I destroyed a car by elbow slamming it and then kicking the door in. I chased after neighbors and banged on their doors.

Eventually the Fire Department came. I tried to push the first truck backwards and then I climbed to the top of it. After a while, I ran off to a more busy intersection. Finally, the police came. I approached the officer with a balled fist and he pepper sprayed me. I was tackled and handcuffed. As the stood me back up I kicked one of the officers in the face. I was tranquilized and brought to the hospital.

I woke up in a freezing Jail wearing nothing but a hospital gown, with no idea what had happened. The next morning I saw that I had 2 felonies and 4 misdemeanors an my bond was set to $22,000.

I have had flashbacks since the event. I remember an odd mixture of delusions:

1. the world was over and we could party forever without consequence (it was my duty to share this fact with everyone else on my street and get them to start partying with me)
2. I was hulk fighting a fire truck in an action movie
3. We are all balls connected to other humans by springs. The harder we move and express ourselves, the larger our ripple effect becomes, the more unstoppable our movement becomes.
4. By being the loudest, strongest, and most vibrant person, I would bring myself and my children fame, money, and glory

My roommates still have people come up to them at parties asking 'Y'all are the roommates of the crazy guy, right? Man, he was scary! He looked like a blood-covered ripped demon. Has he always been so insane?'

'No, he's a pretty normal guy. Never did anything weird before that.' they assume them.

I have not been back to the neighborhood due to bail restrictions.
