I get mushrooms on the regular but one batch just had zero effects so I just kinda put that bag to the side. An acquaintance said she wanted to try microdosing so I gave her those mushrooms and now she's always talking about how much better her life is and how microdosing fixed all her problems. I don't think those were psychedelic mushrooms haha but i guess if she's feeling better whatever man

Hey there is for sure great power in placebo stuff, I "drug dealed" my boomer mom some CBD gummies (had to keep on the DL from narc dad) that I didn't want because they seemed to do nothing, told her they would help her sleep and with the joint pain, and she raved about how helpful it is (quietly). So I gotta keep up the supply when she requests. I don't care about paying for it, they paid enough for me, I've lived this long. And though I'm 90% sure they really do nothing, fuckin' whatever if it works for her, either actually for body or just in brain.

Isnt it amazing how a huge family destroying divorce will cause you to want to medicate just to be able to wakeup and go to work and put one foot in front of the other?

The drug cop was helpful with identifying which drugs were which and in what different ways they were fun. He managed to not shoot himself while playing with his cool gun. The railway cop was even more helpful with the scary stories and the video about getting train murked horribly, and they hey, it's actually really scary for the driver if you throw rocks at the cab, and if you do get murked despite him pulling the emergency brake, that might gently caress them up in the brain turning a kid into multiple pieces, and that's a lovely thing to do to another person. And it's gonna hurt the whole time you are dying. So uh, thanks drug cop and train cop for your various forms of education. Any time is train time. And this is what good weed looks like. If you need to jab it into your arm, don't do that. The Butcher fucked around with this message at 10:13 on Apr 10, 2023 |

If you've never seen dexrazoxane crystallize (it's a cardioprotectant for doxorubicin made from doxorubicin, which looks like loving red kool-aid but it's actually that color and not dyed gently caress that poo poo I filled that too) you should see it sometime. Yellowish liquid on the floor and by the time it dries the outer edge of what is wet is deep purple and the crystals are pink. Absolutely the best part of someone blowing out a reservoir of it, getting showered in it while you collected loving plates in the room because "WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THE STUFF IN THE LYO IS GOOD," and then having the company you work for bump it down a notch on the hazard scale while acknowledging that it was supposed to get an automatic reservoir shutoff like 8 years prior but the owner of the job quit so nobody gave a gently caress until it happened. It looks really loving cool when it dries. I know, I've seen about 50kg of it dry in a 3000 square foot room. I came back from "lunch" (at 8PM on a Sunday), gowned and strolled into the cleanroom knowing that the setup for this poo poo was bad, but I thought I trusted the guy running the machine to control the reservoir fill despite not trusting the crew (it was another shift, we were being forced to work OT) to do it. I never trusted that setup in the first place, but hey, you know. As soon as he turns over the filler to me, POP and I'm like "Hey dude, why the gently caress are the RABS covered in drugs?" The reservoir overfilled and popped the line to the pump manifold, so the reservoir had a gravity-fed reservoir from a compounding room upstairs dumping dexrazoxane on the floor through a 1 1/2" silastic hose at gravity feed pressure. He stammers and stutters, and then I look at the floor and see a loving giant puddle of dexrazoxane creeping at me FAST. I tell the dude on fill checks that I'm training to get the gently caress out, and I start screaming through the passthrough to the glass room that there is a giant loving drug spill that is only getting worse, then start trying to triage it, getting covered in drug in the process. My buddy who was banned from going into the core because of recoveries was working in glass at the time, he heard me screaming that poo poo and called the supes. Well, he was also their loving comedy n-word, which they referred to him as. So they didn't take it seriously until 5 minutes later when they looked at the cameras and saw what was actually happening in the room, and immediately called us to tell us to bracket all the drug in the lyo and make sure we didn't leave without plating, breaking all the loving rules of emergency situations. Finish taking all the air monitoring plates, get all the data you can for the lot since we need to save it even though there's not enough to even lyo. MrQwerty freaking out over a major drug spill is a legendary story at that plant to this day, I'm told.  I had a lot of very interesting conversations with my managers and supes that night, most of them extremely aggressive. "Even though it's categorized as a Cat 4 it should probably be a Cat 3," and, "the guy who owned the ARSOS change request with the customer and FDA quit and nobody realized it needed to be taken over," was the response to various iterations of, "why the gently caress was this allowed to happen?" Along with "Never talk about it." They actually asked me if I thought the manifold hose touched the floor or not, would it be possible to maybe say this was an aseptic incident and reattach the hose and continue filling? *fingers crossed* I legit had people in charge of me ask me if I thought they could make me reattach the hose and be aseptic. On a chemo drug. In a room that looked like a disaster happened. I told them, "Under no circumstances do you even think of considering this fill as aseptic after what just happened you loving idiots." Some of the most intense interviews I've ever had at work, tbqh. Took a lot to not jump over the desk at managers that showed up to work drunk at midnight after going to a baseball game on company tickets to bitch and whine and try to make me continue a fill that went bad. "What just happened here!?!?!?!??!!?" "Well, put on some scrubs and suit up into a bunny and I can show you what happened." "Well, there's no reason to do that, I don't want to do that." Don't be in industrial accidents, especially ones with no fatalities that involve serious drug exposure. I'd already been showered in dexrazoxane cutting off the tank, idk why they'd be so scared of walking into a room where it was on the floor if it was a Cat 3 instead of a Cat 4 since it wasn't a big deal for anyone.

I've never heard anyone addicted to weed but here I am smoking more than anyone I've ever heard of, and I can't seem to stop. I don't even get high, or even stoned really; I just no longer feel the urge to smoke. I am sure it's hosed up my memory, my brain. I can't stop, and will probably be the first to die from some THC overdose.

Infinite Jest kinda nailed the feeling of pot addiction which is definitely a real thing. One of my best friends swore by MA (marijuana anonymous) and she was still not smoking when she died of an asthma attack in her sleep at age 35.  Don't ever make the mistake of thinking you can't get addicted to x. The human brain can get addicted to literally anything.

I don't even get high, or even stoned really; I just no longer feel the urge to smoke. I am sure it's hosed up my memory, my brain. I can't stop, and will probably be the first to die from some THC overdose. There's been a whole lot of studies showing addictive properties of weed ever since the average potency and availability shot through the roof. It's hard to get addicted when you're smoking hippie-grade reggie 24/7 but when you're chuffing 10x extracts every 15 minutes or whatever it's much more clear. This paper is 5 years old now but it's a good look at how all this super insane potency extract stuff isn't very good for us overall https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6312155/ quote:The marijuana of old used to be classified as a hallucinogen and was thought to not cause addiction because there was no identified withdrawal syndrome. This has changed and with the increased potency of THC there is a definite recognized withdrawal syndrome which includes increased anger, irritability, depression, restlessness, headache, loss of appetite, insomnia and severe cravings for marijuana.9 It has been reported that 9% of those who experiment with marijuana will become addicted; 17% of those who start using marijuana as teenagers will become addicted; and 25–50% of those who use daily will become addicted.10 A 2015 study carried out in the UK found that high-potency cannabis use is associated with increased severity of dependence, especially in young people.11 The average THC content of weed in the 60s and 70s (when most studies on weed addiction were done) was 2%, and these days we're smoking poo poo that's anywhere from 20% (flower) to 60%+ (extracts like RSO), and that's not even taking increased availability into account. e: I have also always struggled to stop smoking weed and had severe anxiety and nausea issues whenever I quit. I don't think I've been able to go longer than one day without getting high for the last ~15 years, during which time I have mostly been high 24/7. I recently threw away my pipe and switched to a different lovely piece that can only do very very tiny bowls and wastes a ton of weed in the process and it sucks poo poo and I can't really get high but it has forced me to cut way the gently caress back. It gets me juuuust high enough to get rid of the nausea without ever making me feel "high" deep dish peat moss fucked around with this message at 00:30 on Apr 11, 2023 |

there has to be a thread on shrooms, somewhere here, right? I've had a mostly good time from them in the past, and cannot smoke weed at the moment. Plus, it'd be a cool little project. I know you can get starter kits or whatever, but don't you need to get the spores from somewhere specific, or something? i'm an old bastard and have no sort of hookups I could use for inoculation or spore prints or what have you. it's been years since I've looked into it. my drug of forced-choice is alcohol, and man. poo poo gets old.

In terms of direct chemical dependence, weed/alcohol doesn't have the same magnitude of euphoric effect as say coke/crack as the latter keeps the dopamine floating between the synapses for longer by blocking its 'drainage channels'. Though the line between habitual and chemical dependency is blurred and often involves both working in tandem.
