I have intractable tinnitus that made sleep and functioning difficult and after years of seeing specialists and trying every nonpharmaceutical intervention under the sun, I resorted to taking 2mg Klonopin + 4-600mg gabapentin per day. I've been doing this since 2017, and, having withdrawn from benzos twice in the past, I consider myself severely dependent on both drugs and would expect a reasonable taper off to take 12-20 months, should some better tinnitus treatment emerge. I also use cannabis on a daily basis to the point that if I cease suddenly I will have profound rebound insomnia for 10-14 days, so, I would also say I am addicted to that one. I use alcohol maybe weekly these days, and tobacco like 1-2x a year. Coffee daily, and am addicted, but the withdrawal from that one is, like, not significant or concerning.

The Dregs posted:I gave up making edibles. It is far easier just to make/buy some tincture and squirt a few drops on whatever i cook (or directly into my mouth) and get just as high without all the trouble. Yup, even though sometimes it feels tempting to try to cheat and make brownies, I get extremely reliable results by taking the trouble to make normal shatter with ethanol, and then decarb that by itself and add some olive oil back in at the end at whatever dose (often/usually 66.6mg/ml hail satan). If a whole batch is going in tincture sometimes I cheat the process by skipping winterization, because having some amount of chlorophyl and plant fats crash out isn't the end of the world if it's being eaten anyway. Some people say chlorophyll irritates the GI tract but then I wonder if those people eat green vegetables at all, or what. RSO was the a gold standard for extremely strong medical tincture for a long time, and generally the techniques described will pull a lot of non-psychoactives (but still yield something that's stupidly potent). e: teen witch I PMed you ethanol advice you can ignore because if you're not in north america yea  bummer

CaptainSarcastic posted:Is that about an ounce? My ability to judge the weight of shrooms by sight is really, really rusty. after this post I went back to the picture and said "naw, that's definitely a quarter" Junk posted:quarter ounce I haven't bought mushrooms in years, either  JeffLeonard posted:Goddamn. I brought some of that stuff back from Vegas a couple years ago. My wife and I put a couple drops into a "mocktail". About 2 hours later, things got very very weird. The dose makes the poison as with all things, but, a normal dose for a non-tolerant person is often in the 2-20mg range, and even the high end of that is only 2% the contents of a 1000mg tube of RSO, so it would still be vastly the most cost efficient thing to do but also you'd want to do something like dilute it in MCT oil to make standarized dosing easier. Hence, the lower potency gummies, you are paying a convenience tax for not having to worry about accidentally going completely into space. I'm pretty confident I could just eat a gram of RSO and not be too bothered, I've definitely eaten a gram over the space of 3-4 days before.

they call DMT the buisnessman's trip but I am pretty sure if I ever ripped it on a lunch break I'd decide to take the afternoon off to go sit in the woods at stare at the sky kinda hard to give a poo poo about properly linted python code or w/e after having your whole normal day-to-day ontology exposed as the self-generating lie that it is, IME Colonel Cancer posted:Just take whatever made that goon blackout for 3 weeks whilst buying several pianos.

Dixville posted:I didn't see the posts in this thread, didn't they order the piano online and cancel it before it was sent? they did not have the funds, and the order was rejected I think stuff like etizolam and norflurezepam have more or less replaced phenazpam, even though its legal status has not changed AFAIK. It was as fine as any other long-acting benzo as a maintenance drug but it has basically zero real abuse potential without instantly being in the hosed-for-days category. At least with Xanax, it's probably wearing off not too long after you wrap a stolen car around a light pole.

The Butcher posted:Like I can't even really read if I'm high, and I love reading, so that's annoying. I guess I basically consider myself a "medical" user at this point. I remember being high as balls in 1998 or so and trying to read a copy of the NYT and giggling hysterically at how impossible it was; these days I routinely digest API documentation and other thick technical stuff when I'm on ~200mg of edibles or w/e and the most it does is force me to take slightly better notes (any) than I would otherwise. MrQwerty posted: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. you're doing all this insane, actual lab poo poo and my only corollary is growing tiny rear end DMT crystals in a freezer in ~2009. If the goon that smoked those with me is reading this thread,  since I am not calling you out by name since you married a 3-letter-agent

there's not a ton of research on this but from experience, the thing with weed is that extremely high dose use can be cut to relatively low dose use pretty quickly, usually without provoking much more than a desire to smoke more weed. For me, it's always giving up that last bit used a couple hours before bed, that seems to trigger the real insomnia and other mild bullshit pot detox entails. That's fairly different from addiction to most other things I know of; I couldn't simply reduce my benzo by 95% over the space of a week without much difficulty, nor could a serious opiate or alcohol user. The chemistry is probably pretty interesting; THC is a strong melatonin releaser through some secondary activity IIRC.

Vakal posted:How many mgs are in a good draw on a vape pen anyway? like a 510g cart? maybe 20-30. Dab rig? 100+ easy. E-pen deal like a terp pen? 20-200 depending on how you use it, prolly? Colonel Cancer posted:Any of those cartridges are super sus and will probably give you popcorn lung in a few years. Just vape flower my goon I don't use carts for myriad reasons but this is still a fairly extraordinary claim especially since sketchy as gently caress carts have existed for more than a few years and I'm aware of very few cases of problems in the grand scheme of things. It's not good for you, but, come on, people do cocaine for gently caress's sake. Cabbages and VHS fucked around with this message at 21:09 on Apr 11, 2023 |
