BACOPA MONNIERI is lovely, lovely stuff. I feel superchilled on it and so does my fiancee.
I had 250mg with breakfast and cruised through the day, but in no way feeling ‘dopey’ or lethargic. Then I went and did some food shopping at the local supermarket.
I couldn’t beieve it! I just strooooled around the aisles, humming a little drum’n’bass B’line to myself, smiling and taking everything in.
Normally I grit my teeth and whiz around in the quickest time possible.
Anyway, I am very much liking this stuff, and it should be very complementary to a moda/Spike/oxi stack, to take the ‘edge’ off.
Another bonus is that my next door neighbour who has MS should benefir, as should a girl on my course who has stress alopecia.
Also, having witnessed my seemingly effortless ‘mastery’ (relatively speaking, lol) of this years academic sylabus, about 10 of my fellow students are now on vinpocetine.

So I’m considering grabbing some bacopa. I’ve heard it helps one “not sweat the small stuff”-which is something I could really use as I’m hot tempered and god forbid someone has to suffer through a car ride with me during rush hour.
It’s cheap too!
Will you be taking it everyday or just on certain days?

Hahahaaaa....Fantastic! I'll have to get a bit. Hmmmm, that would make an oxi/vinpo/Spike a really nice combo for those w/out the moda too.
Of late the 900mg dose I take hasn't had me on edge too bad, unless mixed with something "stimmy".
"Super Chilled"....love it, lol..
This is the best damn thread around of it's kind.

Right, that does it. I usually want to kill people in Sainsbury’s, so I’m getting some BM.

I still need vinpo, only reason I haven’t ordered any yet is because of needing a scale to measure it out and that’s an extra 20 bucks. argh
I saw that too. I thought it said extract of Bacoa though...same shit without the last word?

No it’s bacopa monnieri. It’s 20% Bacopasides which is the standard in most BM supplements. Most capped versions have something like 150mg per cap@20%. So you can’t beat BN’s bulk!

Hmm, I might go to BN instead. Over here it works out to around $20 per 75g, plus my usual “powder site” doesn’t have any.
Am I right in thinking that orders under $50 are exempt from customs charges? (I’m in the UK)
How about handling fees etc?
I guess I’ll find out soon anyway because I ordered $40ish worth of oxi and ani from BN recently.
I think I’m going to go ahead and just order some capped vinpo so I don’t have to worry about ordering a scale with the bulk powder. If I like it enough I’ll shell out the money for a scale and then stock up on some powder.
I’m also going to order some bacopa from BN, Bushido’s endorsement sounds too good.
I’m also going to get some phenibut powder.
Then I have to stop. Seriously. I’ve purchased something like 400 dollars worth of supplements the past 4 weeks.

Bushy,
That’s really strange. I thought customs were far more lax in the UK. Most nootropics (especially centro) usually make it even to Oz without any troubles.
Did that tidbit of Modafinil solubility information and link help at all with your development of an ingestible liquid form?
I might have to try some bacopa now. So it’s good as an anxiolytic?

12mg nicotine isn’t that much is it? That’s what an average strength cigarette contains. Full strength ones contain 16mg, then 12mg, 8mg, 4mg, 2mg, and so forth.
I know a teaspoon full can kill a man - it is basically a poison so it’s best not to dose too high.
You’re thinking of tar. Cigarettes have between 4-15mg of tar, and between .1-1.5mg nicotine.[/quote]
Ah I see. I quit smoking many years ago, and since then the government has removed all information labels on cigarette packets about the tar and nicotine content. Instead they have massive warnings plastered all over them in black and white, and graphic pictures of diseased organs to deter people from smoking. Is it like that in the US or anywhere else too?
I tried Deprenyl for a couple of months. Didn’t really notice that much subjective effect on mood or focus except for some dopamine-related increase of sexual arousal. But then again, I was taking the minimum dose. Everyone reacts in their own way to a substance, really, so you might have a different experience for your purposes.

Hi JB,
We have the black and white warnings, but the graphic pics are supposedly in the pipeline. We already have pretty graphic anti-smoking ads on tv so I’m not sure how much difference it’ll make…

Cheers for the info Bushy. Fingers crossed this one makes it through. Either way though, they can’t be charging me much for a measly $40 worth.
Speaking of anxiolytics, I took some Kava about an hour before a practical exam I had today. Everyone else was getting pretty flustered, but I was nice and relaxed. A bit like being drunk, but I actually knew what I was doing, lol.
Needless to say I whizzed through the IM they had us do, haha.

[/quote] Hahaaa! Splendid Dave! I’ll have to try kava too. I’m going to try and get some bacopa soon here when I get some flow going a bit.
Great to hear. By next semester I'll have some hell of a cocktail strategy developed for school.
Love the comraderie we have going here. JB, Schwarz, Dave, and all the other guys who have jumped on to this great subject.
peace boys,

Hey TB how’s it going? I’ve just been and read your final cycle plan - you must be eager to get going now. Good luck!
Oh and about the kava - I have to agree with Bushy it is pretty rough. Also it’s not advised to use it too often because there’s a lot of fuss about kava-induced hepatitis. Not sure how true this is, but I’d rather not risk it until I do a bit more research.
In other words, it’s good now and again, but I doubt I’ll be ordering any more when my batch runs out. It’s supposed to be similar to diazepam, but that’s utter bollocks. If diazepam is a 10, kava is a 2.
