if you think those tcc stories are the :psyduck: ones then you haven't stumbled on the concept of performing a robe-and-chalice ceremony with dmt tea in order to hallucinate that you're speaking with divine beings and the devil to get a greater understanding of the world

there's some dudes who eat shrooms and listen to music, and some dudes who drink dmt from a goblet to talk with god

Ok but in a world where people take drugs by wadding them up in a little kleenex and swallowing the kleenex, or sticking it up their pooper, or the thing where you blow green clouds of poo poo-flavored powder out your nose, swigging DMT from a goblet is pretty rad by comparison

If you're not drinking from a chalice you may as well be drinking from a toilet.

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.

The kratom thread blows my mind because people in there would brag about spending hundreds or thousands of dollars on a plant to get that weak high.

I stopped reading TCC because a lot of it was people saying how drugs didn't really affect their lives at all in a bad way and they had a shitload of experience doing all the drugs and living successfully and if you have negative experiences with drugs you're basically just sub-human I mean look at ME and then a few lines/posts in it comes out that they're still 21 or something. (This was years ago so IDK what it's like now.)

It is pretty awful to go through the early pages of the heroin thread and see multiple users chatting with each other years ago, but now all of them are permabanned for being dead. Or clicking the ? on a random user and tracking their slow descent.

reality: a mentally ill man resembling a melted candle, the pied piper of ham joints, told people that eating nothing but eggs and bacon and lard in paint buckets (they were literally buying and eating buckets full of lard in the name of good health) would not only make them lose weight, but was so healthy it would cure heart disease and cancer. an enormous fat powerlifter who cant run for 20 seconds probated and banned anyone who challenged this wisdom until it lead to a man barely in his 20s being prescribed statins.

proposal: a thread about animal husbandry in the pet forum

reality: a moderator unrepentantly killed animals with ac/dc hadoukens and probated people who asked questions

Small clarification: Opiates paralyze some of the breathing muscles. This is why they can be effective cough suppressants. This may just be a layperson/scientist distinction though.

I was purposefully trying to keep it simple. I'm a layperson that has read a lot, which I'm pretty sure is something scientists aren't always a fan of. When the layperson thinks reading some books and a lot of online stuff makes them a scientist too, anyway.

I do tell people who are actually combining anything that can slow heart rate and breathing reflex that they run a chance of getting so drat relaxed that they either stop breathing or their heart stops beating (or first one, then the other). But that's part of Granny MPGS' Lecture on Mixing poo poo, For Addicts Who Probably Don't Care (but get the lecture anyway just in case). Didn't seem to apply here.

Ugh it's worse than I remember. If anything had ever looked like "Constipation Potion #9," it's that. I never messed with Kratom, so I don't know if there's a better way to ingest it, but.. Christ. Chuck it in a banana-strawberry smoothie with actual fruit and yogurt and whatnot, then dealing with any off-taste seems better to me.

that's referring to Pile of Kittens, I think? She was a PI mod for a while. Twisty was asking questions about chickens in the chicken thread, but because he posts regularly in FYAD that was suspicious for some reason and he was probated by her. That drew the attention of his friends, who uncovered a post from Pile of Kittens where she admits she put her sick parrot too close to a space heater for too long and roasted it to death. She resigned as mod after that.
