I really like the twist this thread has taken.

You wanna hear a funny one? You’re going to anyways!

When I was in my early 20’s I bottomed out from alcohol & coke, then swore them off for ever and ever.

Then my buddy asked me if I wanted some heroin one day. I was like ā€œSure. I never had a problem with that.ā€.

Then proceeded to develop a problem with that.

So I cleaned up again and swore off the dope. Never again!

Then one day another buddy asks me if I wanted a beer and I was like ā€œSure! At least its not that damn heroin!ā€.

Off to the races again! :horse:
:rofl:

ā€œMeth orgasmsā€

ā€œI really like the twist this thread has takenā€

Lol

Looking at how addictive alcohol is… it’s actually up there with opiates.

Alcohol kills far more than opiates do every year, though fentanyl/xyalazine addiction is more lethal unless you are drinking crudely made moonshine, methylated spirits or denatured ethanol.

But in terms of the ā€˜ability to drown sorrows’ and the ā€˜rush’ those predisposed get from alcohol… it’s classified as a hard drug (despite pushback from many because alcohol is culturally accepted) for a reason.

Thankfully we are starting to wake up, there is now a push to add a suregon generals warning to beer, wine, liquor, spirits because many seem to think drinking is harmless

Drinking fucks up your liver, kidneys, heart, brain (look up wernicke korsakoff syndrome), stomach lining and more… and you can so SIGNIFICANT damage with alcohol in a short period of time

Whereas aside from addiction/overdose and hypogonadism (issues associated with that)… opiates suprisingly aren’t that ā€˜toxic’ IF you don’t overdose and die/if you aren’t injecting.

Alcohol, meth etc cause a lot of permenant damage… damage you have no hope of ever recovering from…

What most don’t realise is… the VAST majority using opiates medicinally (or even if someone tries a percocet out of curiosity without being in pain) don’t get addicted.

How many teens into hip hop have tried ā€˜lean’… lean is codein (pro drug to morphine via cyp2d6) and promethazine (sedating antihistamine, potentiates codeine)… how many of those teens get addicted.

Purdue pharmaceuticals made the erronous claim 1% of patients get addicted… no… if you prescribe unlimited amounts and keep escalating the dose on patients who have chronic pain (and psychiatric comorbidities/risk factors for addiction)… many will get addicted

Esp considering purdue pushed the narrative that the drug wasn’t addictive and that you can pull someone off oxycodone without tapering so long as the dose was 60mg/day or below… HAH… pulling people off without tapering led to people who were dependant (not addicted) turning to HEROIN because the withdrawls were so bad with oxycodone.

Predators i.e cartels and dealers ā€˜smelled blood in the water’ (and still do) when opiate dependent patients get/got pulled off aggressively/suddenly.

But the truth is… if you carefully select your patient population, prescribe appropriately and use abuse deterrant formulations… the risk of addiction is low

Even with recreational use… most people try something like that once or twice on a whim, think 'woah, that felt interesting… I was itchy and then I fell asleep" and think nothing of it.

This idea that opiates (or even cigarettes) are so amazingly addictive that one pill or one drag leaves you hopelessly addicted isn’t true… you need to have a genetic or environmental predisposition and/or already have the neural pathways of an addict.

The video above is important for anyone to watch… provides understanding re what chronically ill patients go through nowadays.

It took me MONTHS (like 3+ months) of DAILY, round the clock use of opiates before I realised I felt sick if I missed doses. But I’ve found the threshold for becoming dependant again has decreased each time I go back on.

Used to take 3+ months of daily use, now 3 weeks of daily use will lead to withdrawls if I stop @SkyzykS

I’m unfortunately on pain medication indefinately now, albeit at a stable dose.

I’m very passionate about advocating for people who are suffering… because the pendulum has swung too far in the direction of ā€œit’s not acceptable to treat pain, and being in extreme pain means you are just weak and unable to tough it outā€. It’s fucking bizarre

I held a lit cigarette in my hands when I was young

I have smoked over one HUNDRED cigarettes since… never got addicted. In Europe I smoked daily for months when I was 18… then stopped cold turkey with zero withdrawl symptoms

Never got addicted to vaping either (don’t do this nowadays) not for lack of trying

Still smoke one cigarette every couple of months or so… and I smoke 2-3 cigars a year

I don’t know why… but I never became dependent on caffiene, nicotine etc whereas it seems so many fall for it immediately.

And I had my first cigarette at 14… young and primed for addiction! Didn’t have another until I was 17

Sometimes people will express dissaproval and try to school me on how dangerous tobacco is… and in response I will go over oxidative stress induced by various individual carcinogens/toxins present in tobacco and I’ll go over twelve different cancers that can be caused by cigarettes (it’s actually more like a couple of dozen) alongside the massively increased risk of heart attack and stroke/why and how this happens

I know it’s dangerous… I have very painful genetic disease, am not too concerned about longevity as there is no cure and it only gets worse with time.

I have a crazy story about this

I once took a lot of shrooms (long story, got dose mixed up and took almost eight grams) and near the peak of the trip I felt this unbridled sexual pleasure… I was watching a movie and there was some risque content in the movie… and bam… started having a spontaneous orgasm… and then another… and then another… I’ve never felt sexual pleasure like that before. I’d scratch my nether region and bam… Have never experienced anything remotely like it since… I also saw someone’s face morph into my face on psychedelics.

Psychedelics are non-addictive (physically impossible to become dependent on). Racked my brain as to how it happened, as I’d pay big moneys to experience that again lol.

Psychedelics act on 5ht2a receptors, the manner by which they do this helps spawn new neural connections (pathways that wouldn’t normally be generated). One of the reasons psychedelics are said to help with addiction and mental illness (generation of new neural pathways). I wonder if this had something to do with what I experienced.

I wasn’t breaking the law by doing this, therefore you’ve got nothing on me! Shrooms aren’t illegal everywhere, and in many countries where they are illegal it’s the possession of them that is illegal and not necessarily the act of ingestion/having it in your system.

Psychedelics feel interesting, but I wouldn’t categories it as a ā€œeuphoric feelingā€. But when people who haven’t taken drugs think about drugs… the way one is affected under the influence of LSD/shrooms is probably what most envision when the word ā€˜drugs’ comes up.

Totally changes your state of consciousness… actually warps reality… It’s a lot of fun, and usually legitimately harmless if done very occasionally provided you are healthy. I still wouldn’t recommend it to anyone, but if someone tells me they take mushrooms or something similar from time to time I think very little of it.

If someone tells me they get drunk semi-regularly I’m way more sketched out by that as that individual is more likely to wind up getting in trouble/in a bad situation.

I don’t agree with anabolic steroids being more benign that pot though. I think AAS is up there with tobacco.

Well put it this way

Injecting a high dose of methamphetamine is apparently pleasurable enough to make some users immediately ejaculate in their pants…

You don’t hear about that with heroin… you don’t really hear about that with anything outside the realm of ā€˜rare side effects associated with certain medications’.

Fun fact
@NickViar

Methamphetamine was synthesised in 1893, but widespread use didn’t become an issue until WWII. Nazi germany marketed Methamphetamine as a pep/otc pill called pervitin

Addiction, abuse and psychosis became commonplace. Ironic considering Nazi Germany pushed back against some of the more hedonistic attitudes present within the weimar republic

So drugs are bad… except for methamphetamine… and the oxycodone, morphine and cocaine Hitler wound up addicted to.

Pervitindose

Japanese imperial army also got into meth.

Meth allowed the soldiers to fight for days on end withiut getting tired… but Methamphetamine abuse became RAMPANT throughout Nazi Germany and imperial Japan.

the USA I believe used dextroamphetamine (and still might if prolonged wakefullness is required.)

ā€œPervitin, an early form of methamphetamine, was widely used in Nazi Germany and was available without a prescriptionā€

Two pictures are…

1: injectable methamphetamine ampuoles from Nazi Germany
2: otc methamphetamine tablets from nazi germany…

People tend to overlook this when analysing why the german armed forces at the time were initially able to take ahold of so much land so quickly.

The calibre of their soldiers wasn’t above and beyond that of everybody else… no… practically every soldier and civillian was using methamphetamine

Methamphetamine (before it fucks you up over years) increases productivity, work capacity, endurance/stamina by 2-300%.

So now your soldiers can stay away for three days without breaking a sweat… and they don’t need to eat AND they have untapped, inhumane strength mediated by methamphetamine consumption.

It is categorised as a potent performance enhancing drug by athletic commisions.

Methamphetamines addictive potential wasn’t recognised… but even after abuse became rampant and Germany realised they had a problem with methamphetamine, authorities didn’t care and continued distributing the drug because it had a positive impact on soldiers productivity and civillian labor output

Until you crash that is…

The thing with smack is it takes back to the womb. If your life is shit, it won’t be anymore after a hit.
It’s not for everyone. Some people won’t get it.

If you shoot coke…I think everyone’s gonna get it.

Dunno about meth.

Its the only drug I never liked. Not even a little bit.

Ran out of toot one time. ( :rofl: ) Dude that was hanging out says he has the hook up, yadda yadda yadda. Comes back with some crap that was clearly not da booger sugar. He says ā€œits ok, its just like cokeā€¦ā€ .

So we whiffed up an 8 ball of this crap that was like misery in a bag. Just crazy, stupid, nose burning shit that lasted waaaaaaayyyyyy too long.

Never touched it again after I came down, which took forever and I had to drink like 3 cases of beer to keep from going through the roof. And sunlight was like shards of glass gouging through my skull.

Andrew Tate is unlikely to be the first of his kind

Andrew Tate is symbolistic of deeper problems, yet many seem content with taking the approach of burying their heads in the sand

If we don’t want psychopaths like Tate prospering with fame, fortune and idolisation we need to step up our game… we need to actually be TALKING to young men…

How many young men grow up without any mentors or role models?

A loottttt … I love my parents, but I never really had anyone who I ā€˜looked up to’ as an adolescent. No role models… no one to talk to … can really screw with your sense of right and wrong… increases risk of engaging in antisocial behaviours…

Not opting for hellicopter parenting, constant supervision either as kids do need time to be kids/learn how to be independent. But a mandatory once a month check in with a therapist/counsellor at school would probably go a long way!

@BrickHead

Sorry for derail

What do you think about mandatory counselling… not as a punishment, but just to check in with young people regularly. This in itself would give young people someone to talk to and disclose any issues they may be dealing with.

You don’t have to be a basket case to benefit from therapy… I reckon most adults and adolescents could and would benefit from seeing a therapist

Many lack EQ/insight into themselves and become entrenched within unhealthy patterns and behaviours… Cycles of unhealthy behavioural patterns and maldaptive coping mechanisms can be broken when the individual becomes aware of the root cause/why they do what they do.

Societies lack of emotional intelligence may stem from people growing up without meaningful interactions and relationships. How can you express yourself or have any insight into yourself or others if you’ve spent the last twenty years bottling up every negative emotion you’ve ever come across, filling the void with chemicals and avoidance.

You can try to drown your sorrows, but sorrows float. Eventually the weight of the burden you bear will drown YOU as the repercussions attached to those attempts to repeatedly avoid or escape from your demons latch on and pull HARD. At which point you have to face your demons head on.

Without coping mechanisms, people to talk to or any sort of support one ends up drowning (potentially dying) or involved with the criminal justice system or worse (mass shooter/spree killer etc)… like Elliot Rodger

Though Elliot Rodger (incel shooter) had more going on. He harbouted many traits of overt narcissism… still… avoidable outcome (probably)

3.5 grams of methamphetamine would kill a normal person. Therapeutically, the dose
prescription methamphetamine has fallen out of favor, but is the only thing that works for the tiniest, most minute fraction of individuals with something like narcolepsy, SEVERE (and real) adhd etc. Dextroamphetamine is a stronger CNS stimulant anyway…

Vicks inhaler (OTC inhaler in USA) is levomethamphetamine… Levomethamphetamine is less potent than dextromethamphetamine, less addictive. Same goes for regular amphetamine, levoamphetamine and levomethamphetamine are far less friendly in terms of side effects, but the side effects of levomethamphetamine explain why it is OTC… not because it isn’t prone to abuse, because it is (less prone though). It’s still an isomer of methamphetamine albeit the the less sought after isomer

Levomethamphetamine is a very potent vasoconstricer. When applied intranasally it is VERY effective at reducing or eliminating nasal congestion. Take too much and the systemic vasoconstriction would be extremely unpleasant

None of us were very normal. In fact, Id venture the guess that normal people wouldn’t want to be anywhere near us.

Plus, it was split a few ways. And PROBABLY stepped on. This wasn’t like the Walter White blue stuff.

Now @punnyguy will probably be irked that I’m showing three preeminent historical/geopolitical experts in the world.

This is ā€œI’m 14 and I tried weed for the first timeā€ level of reasoning had at least one of them not been a sex trafficker/rapist.
