- How to safely dose meth and adderall | Drug Speak
Learn how to stay safe when using meth or adderall Drugs list Pharmacology how to use safely Amphetamine home page How to dose meth and adderall (amphetamines) Instant release Tablets made of pressed powder effects last 4 to 6 hours usually lower dosages (5mg to 15mg) but sometimes higher dosages (30mg) Extended release capsules capsule full of amphetamine beads effects typically last 8 to 12 hours, possibly longer Higher dosages (20mg to 30mg) Adderall dosing Pharmaceutical Adderall is either a pill made of compressed powder (often colored and stamped with a label like “30” to show dose in milligrams” or a capsule often of orange color with orange beads inside the capsule. The tablets made of powder are often single doses where the drugs full effects are felt within 1 hour. Meanwhile, capsules with beads are often extended release which means the drug is swallowed and slowly releases the amphetamine into the blood stream over 6 to 12 hours. Someone Is abusing Adderall if they ingest more than the prescribed amount and doing something different than swallowing the pill whole. Adderall is often abused because the bead capsules and pills can be crushed and snorted (sniffed) for the effects to hit all at once instead of 6 to 12 hours. Snorting Adderall causes a rush of euphoria and energy because snorting a drug is felt much faster than a swallowed pill. It is extremely dangerous and damaging to snort pills especially Adderall. Since Adderall pills contain 5 to 20 milligrams of amphetamine the pill is majority fillers and coloring agents not meant for going into the nose. Inhaling the filler powders can burn the inside of your nose and cause infection quite easily. These powders do not dissolve in your nose so they will block your nasal passages and can harm your respiratory system. Furthermore, snorting amphetamines make them much more addictive because the quick effects of snorting over swallowing make the feeling stronger and hit faster. Meth dosing Methamphetamine is often found in powder or crystalized form. Powder meth is often snorted, injected, swallowed in capsules. Whereas crystal methamphetamine is not snorted because it will cut and tear the inside of your nose. Crystal can be smoked, melted then injected, or swallowed. Due to meth being illegal and not professionally manufactured by a regulated company the ingredients in meth are unknown. It is recommended to swallow meth opposed to snorting, smoking, and definitely avoid injecting. Making meth includes using extremely toxic chemicals like strong acids, phosphorous and many dangerous chemicals that can damage your nose, lungs, and veins. It is extremely recommended to never do meth in any form but if you do meth it Is extremely recommended that swallowing an ACCURATELY WEIGHED small dose is the best way to avoid excess damage to internal organs. Administering meth in other ways than swallowing can lead to damage to nasal cavities, lungs, teeth, throat, and veins. The phrase “meth mouth” is a term because people who smoke meth for a long time have severe tooth, gum, overall mouth damage. The actual methamphetamine drug itself does not cause mouth damage. It is the toxic additives that are leftover from creating the drug. Next page
- How psychedelic mushrooms work in the brain | Drug Speak
Learn how psychedelic mushrooms work in the brain. Mushroom Pharmacology Mushroom Main page Mushrooms are a monoaminergic psychedelic that has a chemical structure very similar to the neurotransmitter (brain chemical) serotonin. This fungus is called “psilocybin” mushrooms because the chemical psilocybin is present in high concentrations. Mushrooms are not able to be injected, snorted, or dissolved in the mouth. The stems and caps of Mushrooms can only be eaten to be effective because of the metabolizing action necessary for the drug to work. Psilocybin present in mushrooms needs to be digested and metabolized into the chemical “psilocin” which is the actual molecule responsible for the psychedelic effects. Psilocybin is 4-phosphoryloxy-dimethyltryptamine. When ingested, the liver breaks off the phosphate group and the molecule Psilocin is created (4-hydroxy-dimethyltryptamine). Psilocin crosses the blood-brain barrier and binds to different serotonin receptors mainly the 5HT2A receptor. Psychedelic mushrooms function very similarly to LSD in the brain but mushrooms have a shorter duration compared to LSD because Psilocin molecules spend less time activating the serotonin receptors and are broken down faster than LSD. The most notable difference between LSD and Psilocybin mushrooms is the length of trip and subjective visual distortion differences. LSD visuals are often explained as geometric and rainbow whereas mushroom visuals are often described as more fluid and wavy. LSD is more straight lines and geometric shapes and mushrooms are more wavy lines and melting/flowing colors. But the mechanism of action in the brain between LSD and Mushrooms are very similar pharmacology wise. Chemical reaction in the liver Phosphate group is removed and psilocin is formed. Psilocin is the active ingredient that activate serotonin receptors in the brain

- How to safely use cocaine | Drug Speak
learn about cocaine purity, effects, and safety tips. dangers of Mixing cocaine and alcohol Cocaine is often a party drug used at clubs, festivals, and parties. Partiers that drink alcohol often use cocaine at the same time to diminish the sedative effects of alcohol and make them more alert. Mixing cocaine with alcohol is dangerous for many reasons. Firstly, alcohol is a depressant and cocaine is a stimulant so mixing them can make the user feel more sober than they actually are. Cocaine use while drunk can make someone feel as if they can drink more without getting sick or “blacking out.” Cocaine use while drunk can lead someone to drinking much more alcohol than they realize making alcohol poisoning and injury from falling much more likely. Secondly, mixing cocaine and alcohol creates a very unique chemical reaction in the body. Mixing these drugs creates the psychoactive chemical cocaethylene in the body. Cocaehtylene causes the euphoric effects of cocaine to increase and create severe toxicity in the cardiovascular system. Since alcohol is a depressant it causes the cardiovascular system to relax and dilates blood vessels including the vessels in the nose. Dilated nose blood vessels means that more of the cocaine snorted will reach the blood stream and heighten the drug effects even more. Cocaethylene is extremely toxic and more damaging than either cocaine or alcohol by themselves. The damage caused by alcohol plus cocaine plus cocaethylene makes this drug combination one of the most dangerous and toxic there is. cocaine main page Next page toxicity and overdose potential of cocaine Cocaine overdose is quite common for a multitude of reasons. Coke is a strong nervous system stimulant which ramps up heart rate, metabolism, temperature, and blood pressure. If too much cocaine is consumed the spike in bodily functions may cause overexertion of organs causing heart attack, overheating (heat stroke), lung problems like pneumonia, and sleep deprivation in chronic users. Seizures are also possible due to cocaines stimulating effects in the brain. Cocaine outside of production countries such as Bolivia and Colombia is often cut with various things to mimic the effects of cocaine or thin the drug out. Everything from baby powder to lidocaine to fentanyl can be mixed into cocaine powder because all those substances are white powders visually identical to the pure drug. As with every other drug, it is heavily recommended to reagent test the substance to identify the chemicals and drugs it is made of. Reagent testing kits are fairly inexpensive yet they can save your life and spare your from ingesting a drug laced with something deadly like fentanyl. The Marquis and Liebermann reagent tests are recommended for cocaine testing. The marquis reagent can identify cocaine mixed with amphetamines Morris, Marquis, and Liebermann reagents. These kits that are capable of detecting specific cuts (levamisole and lidocaine)

How to use LSD safely and health consciously. Understand dosing and what it feels like How to reagent test LSD. Main LSD page It is critical to reagent test LSD. Please visit Dance Safe linked below and get drug testing kits. It may save your life. Click here to get reagents on Dance Safe Reagent testing LSD step 1 Ehrlich reagent Real LSD causes a purple color when it comes in contact with the Ehrlich reagent Any other color besides purple indicates the tab does not contain LSD and may be laced with a different drug It is critical to reagent test your LSD to confirm you have the correct drug. Reagent testing LSD is extremely recommended because it can save your life. The “Ehrlich” reagent test is the preferred test for LSD. The Ehrlich reagent kit will reliably test blotter tabs of LSD. The Ehrlich reagent works by placing one drop of the reagent on about 1/20th of a blotter tab. The reagent reacts with the chemical on the tab and changes colors based on the chemical reaction. If the LSD is real then the Ehrlich reagent will yield a purple color within 5 seconds to 5 minutes. If there is no color or anything different than purple you cannot be certain your tab contains LSD and you should throw the tabs away. Reagent testing LSD step 2 Hoffman reagent Real LSD causes a blue color when it comes in contact with the Hoffman reagent NBOMe drugs are an LSD imposter substance that can kill you. Make sure the color is not yellow or amber colored. Those colors indicate a drug different than LSD and may be NBOMe drugs. (See 25D and 25B NBOMe in the image to the right). You must use the Hoffman reagent as well to test tabs. Hoffman reagent can detect the difference between real LSD and different variants of NBOME. The Hoffman reagent yields a blue color when it touches real LSD and different types of yellow or pink for other substances like 25i-nbome, 2c-I, and 25B-NBOME. There are similarities and very important differences between LSD and NBOME. LSD dose ranges from 40 micrograms (low) to 250 (high) with the average being 100 to 150 micrograms. Whereas NBOME doses are mild at 250 to 450 micrograms high doses are around 450 to 800 micrograms. The dosages between LSD and NBOME seem different in numbers but the difference of 200 micrograms to 600 is extremely small to the naked eye. Since it is nearly impossible to visually distinguish how much of a drug is on blotter paper or in a vial or gelatin tabs it is best to test the substance with an Ehrlich reagent kit. LSD by itself can not kill you by overdose but NBOME can kill you very easily. The worst that can happen in a high LSD dose is terror, anxiety, and confusion. But you will live and not experience noticeable brain damage even in extremely high doses. On the other hand, NBOME compounds can directly kill you LSD in any form like blotter paper, gelatin tabs, or liquid in a vial is tasteless and odorless. An LSD dose cannot be visually measured because 100 micrograms is microscopic. It is essential to be aware that street dealers may sell dangerous counterfeit substances presented as LSD. For instance, the psychedelic compound 25I-NBOMe is sometimes passed off as acid. However, NBOMe compounds are much more harmful than LSD, only a few grains of salt worth of NBOME compounds can lead to severe health complications, including heart failure, seizures, and death. LSD doses typically range from 40 micrograms (low) to 250 micrograms (high), with the average dose falling between 100 to 150 micrograms. In contrast, NBOMe doses are considered mild at 250 to 450 micrograms, with high doses reaching around 450 to 800 micrograms. While the microgram gap may seem large, in reality, a difference of 300 micrograms is extremely hard to visually notice while being much more powerful. Given that visually determining the quantity of a substance on blotter paper, in a vial, or gelatin tabs is virtually impossible, it is highly recommended to test the substance using an Ehrlich reagent kit. NBOMe compounds have the potential to cause lethal consequences. The lethal dose of NBOMe can be as little as 2 milligrams (2000 micrograms), which is a minuscule amount. LSD Tolerance LSD often carries misconceptions and negative stigma in the public eye. While all psychoactive substances carry risks, the level and nature of the risk vary between different drugs. LSD is widely recognized as having a very low potential for addiction. The low addiction risk is due to the unique tolerance built for LSD when used consistently. When is LSD used more than once a week tolerance builds up quickly, requiring higher doses to achieve the same effects. For example, if someone takes a 100 microgram tab of LSD every day for a week, by the seventh day, that same 100 microgram tab would have significantly diminished psychedelic effects, perhaps feeling like only 1.5 micrograms which has zero psychedelic effects. The drastic drop in effect makes LSD nearly impossible to become addicted to because you have to increase the dose to absurd levels. After a week of everyday use, someone would have to consume 128 tabs to feel average psychedelic effects. The number of LSD needed to be consumed is doubled each consecutive day it is used which makes the likelihood of someone becoming addicted to LSD extremely low. Similarly, there have been zero reliably recorded cases of LSD overdose caused solely by LSD in those without prior medical conditions or mixing other substances with LSD. Next page
