Learn Psychedelic mushroom dose, safety tips, effects, and how they effect the brain. Psilocybin Mushrooms Mushroom Q&A What are psychedelic mushrooms? Psilocybin mushrooms known as magic mushrooms or shrooms are a psychedelic fungus that cause visual distortions and altered thinking and perception very similarly to LSD. Psychedelic mushrooms are a long lasting hallucinogenic drug that is grown, dried, then consumed by eating them straight or putting the mushrooms into tea, chocolate, or capsule pills. Shrooms are believed to be non-addictive in the same way as LSD and DMT. Doses & effects are mushrooms addictive? How illegal are mushrooms? Shrooms are believed to be non-addictive in the same way as LSD and DMT. There are two types of “addiction” which are psychological dependence and physical dependence. Magic mushrooms are a drug that CAN cause psychological dependence and CANNOT CAUSE physical dependence. Psychological addiction Psychological addiction happens when someone really enjoys the feeling of a drug. The enjoyable feelings causes them to continue using the drug to recreate the same feeling. Someone who enjoys tripping on mushrooms may continue to take mushrooms because they enjoy those feelings. Repetitive use of mushrooms can be considered psychological addiction if the drug use becomes excessive and negatively effects the person's health, work, school, or social life. Psychological addiction is also common in those suffering with depression, anxiety, and many other mental or emotional issues. Using a drug over and over to escape reality or run away from life issues can be considered psychological dependence. Physical addiction physical dependence Is when a drug is taken so often that the body sees the drug’s presence in the body as normal. The body believes the drug is needed all the time so you function normally. Once the drug use is stopped the body reacts as if something critical is missing. The negative withdrawal symptoms are the body's response to t he drug missing. Intense cravings, physical symptoms such as anxiety, sweating, restlessness, and other feelings similar to the flu are common. Someone who takes magic mushrooms very frequently will need to keep increasing the dose for the trip to be as strong as the first few times. When heavy mushroom use is stopped there may be some desire or low level cravings to use the drug again but mushrooms are not able to cause physical withdrawal like feelings of being sick including sweating, anxiety, restlessness, etc. Onset – occurs in an hour and continues for 2 hours after ingestion Peak (strongest effects) – 3 hours after ingestion Come down (effects slowly waring off) hour 4 to 5 “afterglow” (lingering positive mood) – can last for 2 to 3 hours after effects have worn off Microdosing (0.1 to 0.25 grams) no psychedelic effects (visual) and only minor mood lifting occurs. The microdose level only influences subconscious emotion, thinking, and perception. Many believe microdosing often increases both productivity and creativity and may have anti-depressent effects. The benefits are being researched but no definitive conclusions about risk and reward can be given without thorough research. Very low dose (0.5 to 1 grams) Minor effects (visual) may occur. Colors may seem brighter and mood heightens. This dose is low and it is possible that psychedelic effects are not noticed depending on the person. It is very recommended to start at this dose if you are new to mushrooms or psychedelics in general. Low to moderate dose (1 to 2 grams) above 1 gram the effects will become noticeable visual hallucinations like colors and patters will become apparent and increase in intensity as the dose increases after 1 gram. Wonder filled thoughts and feelings of stimulation begin to intensify at this dose. average dose (2.5 to 3.5 grams) 3.5 grams is believed to be the perfect dose for full effects while remaining controllable and not too intense for most people. At 3.5 grams, colors and patterns are very noticeable and occur when eyes are both open and closed. Objects can “breath” which means swaying and bending in a magical type way. Vibrancy of colors is heightened and colors of the rainbow create complex shapes when eyes are closed. Intense feelings of stimulation and alertness. Thoughts and perception are extremely altered compared to sober. Anxiety and feelings of being overwhelmed are definitely possible but this dose cannot cause any physical harm and will not last forever. Very heavy dose (4.5 grams and above) heavy dose often called “heroic dose” – 4.5 grams and over is very potent and marks the point where overly intense become more likely. The effects of 5 grams may be much too intense for any beginner or even lightly experienced tripper. At this dose the psychedelic visuals may distort and fill vision so intensely that it is difficult to see straight and identify things around you which is very dangerous. Thought loops are very common at this dose and negative loops including terror, paranoia, and detachment from reality may be overwhelming and cause outbursts or irrational actions. It is critical to have someone you trust who remains sober to keep you safe on a dose that large. Having an accurate gram scale and a trip sitter is very important for any mushroom trip especially a stronger one. How much shrooms to take It is crucial to test dose (take 0.1 to 0.5 grams) every batch of mushrooms to test their strength. It is possible that 1 species of mushroom can be 10 times stronger than a different species. While 3.5 grams is the average, it is highly recommended to treat every type of mushrooms as if they are extremely potent and slowly increase the dose. The mushroom trip experience is very profound and intense even at normal dosages of 3.5 grams with average potency mushrooms. A normal dose takes between 15 minutes and an hour to start kicking in. The come up process occurs for about 2 hours since ingestion and the strongest effects occur from about hour 3 to hour 4 after ingestion. The peak of effects lasts about an hour and can cause strong time distortion, speeding up or slowing down perception of time. Fluid colors and object distortion can occur where objects seem to be swaying or “breathing.” Mushroom effects will start fading an hour after the peak occurs and will be mostly gone In about 6 hours. Psychedelic mushrooms are a illegal schedule 1 drug in the United States. Schedule 1 drugs are considered to have no medical benefits and high potential for abuse. The scheduling of a drug is determined by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) in America. Other schedule 1 drugs include heroin, marijuana, LSD, and ecstasy (MDMA). The scheduling of drugs in America is very controversial and the scheduling does not always align with the current scientific research regarding the danger and abuse potential of the substances. Mushroom Pharmacology How psychedelics effect the brain 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. Are mushrooms similar to LSD? 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 Dihydrogen Phosphate group is removed and psilocin is formed. Psilocin is the active ingredient that activate serotonin receptors in the brain

Learn all about the psychedelic drug ayahuasca containing DMT. How to use it, how to stay safe, and how it works in the brain and body. Ayahuasca DMT home page Ayahuasca is a brewed liquid traditionally from root bark and plants that contain DMT. Ayahuasca has a long history of use by South American religious groups as a sacred ritual where ayahuasca (DMT) drinks are consumed to cause psychedelic and spiritual experiences. The word ayahuasca is the name of a vine from the Amazon that contains DMT. While there are many plants used for ayahuasca a popular source of DMT is from the root bark of the plant Mimosa Hostilis. Mimosa Hostilis root bark is boiled which extracts the DMT from it. Drinking DMT root bark tea by itself will not give psychedelic effects. DMT is not an orally active molecule which is why the powder is often smoked. To make DMT tea orally active there must be a Monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) present. The liver enzyme Monoamine Oxidase breaks the DMT molecule down into a non-psychoactive derivative before it has a chance to cause psychedelic effects. Many metabolites are produced from DMT break down but mainly DMT-N-oxide (DMT-NO), and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) which are not hallucinogenic. To prevent DMT breakdown in the liver the monoamine oxidase (MAO) must be blocked by way of a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI). Many ayahuasca brews contain both a bark like Mimosa Hostilis and a plant containing MAOIs such as Banisteriopsis caapi (BC) and Peganum harmala (PH). Both MAOI plants contain an active monoamine oxidase inhibitor such as β-carbolines harmalol, harmine, and harmaline. By brewing a DMT-containing bark like Mimosa Hostilis and MAOI-containing plant such as Peganum harmala together the resulting brew will cause hallucinogenic DMT effects when consumed. DMT containing plants such as Mimosa hostilis root bark are usually legal to purchase and possess in the united states. Although pure DMT powder is a schedule 1 illegal drug there is a grey area in the law about the entire plant. Purchasing and possessing the plant or bark is legal while extracting and consuming DMT is illegal. Mimosa hostilis root bark (contains DMT) Banisteriopsis caapi vine (contains MAOI inhibitor) Finished product: ayahuasca brew (contains DMT and MOAI inhibitor)

Learn how amphetamines effect the brain from a simplified neuroscience perspective Meth and adderall pharmacology It might be suprising to some but meth and adderall work the EXACT SAME WAY in the brain everything written below applies to both meth and adderall equally main page American society often associates methamphetamine with addiction, death, overdose, and crazy people. Adderall is viewed as a medicine good for studying and productivity at work. Pharmacology research and chemical analysis shows that methamphetamine and Adderall are the EXACT SAME DRUG when it comes to addiction potential, psychoactive effects, as well as mental damage. All scientific literature you can find online will tell you the chemical structures are 99% similar and the 1% difference goes away one once the drug is ingested in any form. The images below displays the similarities. Amphetamine base chemical name is alpha-methylphenethylamine Crystal Methamphetamine is a hydrochloride salt Adderall is a mixture of levoamphetamine and dextroamphetamine Amphetamines bind to presynaptic membrane of dopaminergic neurons and release massive amounts of dopamine especially in the striatum. Then amphetamine molecules bind to dopamine reuptake transporters which prevents dopamine from leaving synaptic gap and reversing dopamine transporters which causes free dopamine to be transported out of the terminal. High doses of amphetamines even cause monoamine oxidase inhibition which prevents dopamine, epinephrine, norepinephrine, and serotonin breakdown. Inhibiting monoamine oxidase increases all monoamine prevalence and receptor interactions. Chemical comparison Amphetamine (Adderall) only has 1 more hydrogen and 1 less methyl group (CH3) than meth.

Learn about dosing, purity, and effects of cocaine. General Cocaine info Cocaine also known as coke, blow, and snow, is a stimulant powder that is inhaled through the nose (aka snorting). Cocaine has 2 common forms: powder that is snorted, and the crystal rock version called crack that is smoked. Both cocaine and crack contain the same psychoactive chemical. Snorted cocaine increases heart rate, blood pressure, and boosts general energy. Within a couple minutes of ingestion, the user feels a rush of euphoria and energy kick that feels very sharp and pleasurable. Many users often feel like they are stronger than they are, more confident, and more energetic. Users often speak quicker and move their body more via fidgeting or dancing if in a party or bar setting. Cocaine has a similar feeling to Adderall but much less duration and cocaine’s effects are felt much quicker than an Adderall pill. Cocaine Q&A pharmacology Cocaine is extracted from these leaves called Coca leaves It is critical to reagent test MDMA. Please visit Dance Safe linked below and get drug testing kits.

Americans often view cocaine as a “high class” drug because of its high cost and history related to celebrities and wealthy people who use it. Many people believe that cocaine is a rich people’s party drug but crack is a drug that brings images of homelessness, addiction, hopelessness. This societal view is very dangerous as it downplays the dangers of cocaine use. It must be understood that powder cocaine and crack provide the exact same high and carry the same general dangers. The only difference between the two is that crack is smoked therefore the high feels more like a “rush” and effects are felt very quickly within 20 seconds. Cocaine Is snorted so the effects take a couple minutes to be felt which decreases the sense of quick euphoria. It is true that the rushing euphoria of crack is more psychologically addictive but both cocaine and crack have the exact same overall high. After all, crack is just powdered cocaine cooked together with baking soda to turn it into a crystal. American society has an inaccurate perception that cocaine is more socially acceptable than crack. Cocaine is an illegal Schedule 2 drug in the United States. Schedule 2 drugs are considered to have high potential for abuse with use potentially leading to severe psychological or physical dependence. The scheduling of a drug is determined by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) in America. Other Schedule 2 drugs include Adderall, methamphetamine, and oxycodone, and fentanyl. The scheduling of drugs in America is very controversial and the ranking does not always align with the current scientific research regarding the danger and abuse potential of the substances. A dose of cocaine is often described one of two ways: bumps and lines. A “bump” is a smaller dose than a line where someone uses a tool like a key to pick up a little pile of powder and snorts it. The other way is a line where a larger dose of cocaine is placed on a surface like a table and snorted along the length of the line. The weight of a bump or line cannot be recommended because the purity of different people’s cocaine will be different. A 10 milligram bump of 100% pure cocaine is 4 times as strong as 25% pure coke so there really is no average size dose of cocaine. As a rough guide, always assume your cocaine is really strong so you do not underestimate it and take too much. Both powder cocaine and crack cocaine are very hard to dose correctly. Many factors such as purity, other adulterants (laced) or inaccuracies in weighing all make a recommendation for dosing extremely difficult. Since Cocaine is just a generic looking white powder it is nearly impossible to understand what the powder is made of by taste or smell alone. It is always urgently recommended to reagent drug test your substances before use. In America, Cocaine is heavily adulterated and cut with chemicals to thin it out or laced with other drugs to enhance the effects. Inactive ingredients like baking soda, baby powder, creatine, or lidocaine/ procaine, or a number of others are almost always added before a customer receives it. While active ingredients are less frequent it is adds risk and harm potential, cocaine is sometimes cut with caffeine, meth, and even opioids like heroin or fentanyl. Since all the inactive and active ingredients listed above could be generic white powders you can never be sure what is in cocaine. Pure cocaine and lethal dose fentanyl laced powder look the exact same. Furthermore, when adulterants are mixed with cocaine, most cutting agents are odorless so both look and smell are not able to be noticed. Fentanyl, caffeine, meth, are odorless when mixed with cocaine so a white powder called cocaine can really be made of anything. Cocaine is produced majorly in south America then trafficked to everywhere else in the world. Countries like Colombia, Bolivia, and Peru all have a monopoly on the cocaine production market. Cartels within those countries account for nearly 100% of the cocaine produced and distributed around the world. Although, cocaine in those countries is produced pure without adulterants, once that pure powder gets trafficked to another country the drug is cut and altered each time it changes hands. While America and Europe are both different distances from South America, the cutting agents used are largely the same. These substances include acetaminophen, phenacetine, caffeine, lidocaine and in almost 70% of the samples levamisole (363 out of 524 samples) 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 drinking can make someone feel as if they can drink more without getting sick or “blacking out.” This makes 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. Cocaethylene 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 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) It is critical to reagent test Cocaine. Please visit Dance Safe linked below and get drug testing kits.

Learn how MDMA / ecstasy effect the brain from a simplified neuroscience perspective. MDMA Pharmacology MDMA Home page MDMA standing for Methylene-dioxy-methyl-amphetamine acts both as a psychedelic and stimulant in the catecholaminergic psychedelic class also known as phenylethylamine psychedelics and amphetamine stimulants. MDMA works by increasing synaptic concentration of serotonin, norepinephrine, and to a lesser extent, dopamine. When the MDMA molecule crosses the blood brain barrier the chemical is shaped similar enough to serotonin to enter a serotonin transporter. Then the MDMA molecules inhibit the vesicular monoamine transporters (VMAT) which causes serotonin to be rapidly released from the vesicles housing it and accumulates in the cytosol. Finally, MDMA changes the direction of serotonin transporters to release excessive amounts of serotonin out of the neuron which floods into the synaptic cleft. Serotonin reuptake is inhibited and leaves massive amounts of serotonin in the synaptic cleft to stimulate serotonin receptors continuously causing them to fire. MDMA mechanism in the brain

Learn LSD pharmacology from a simplified neuroscience perspective. Pharmacology of LSD Learn how LSD works in the brain from a molecular perspective Main LSD page Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) is a monoaminergic psychedelic with a chemical structure very similar to the neurotransmitter serotonin. Upon consumption, the LSD molecule crosses the blood-brain barrier and binds to 8 different serotonin receptors mainly the 5HT2A receptor. LSD binding agonizes (binds to) this receptor and causes an increase in 5HT2A serotonin firing. The proposed reason for LSD's lengthy duration is due to the formation of a "lid" on the serotonin receptor. It is believed that the LSD molecule creates a type of lid that hinders the reuptake of the molecule, making it more difficult for it to be broken down and removed from the serotonin receptor. This prolonged interaction with the receptor contributes to the extended effects of LSD compared to endogenous (naturally occurring) serotonin. Next page LSD analogues (drugs similar to LSD) LSD is illegal and completely unregulated since it is produced and distributed illegally the purity, dose, and substance is unknown when dealing with LSD. When people say LSD they mean the chemical Lysergic acid diethylamide. There are many analogues of LSD that are known and being researched. A drug analogue is a chemical that looks and behaves very similarly to another chemical while having very slight differences . For example, Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) has a very similar chemical called 1p-LSD. The 1p-lsd molecule looks nearly identical to someone without a background in chemistry but there is a slight difference between LSD and 1p-LSD. Both chemicals are psychoactive and cause psychedelic effects but LSD is schedule 1 illegal and 1p-LSD is considered a research chemical and not directly illegal. The Federal analogue act of 1986 in the United States stated that a chemical that is substantially similar to an illegal drug should be considered illegal as well but only if the chemical is intended for human consumption. Some research companies in Canada legally distribute analogues of LSD such as 1p-LSD, 1b-LSD, 1v-LSD. All these chemicals are very similar to LSD but not exactly the same. There are definitely differences between them but they are all psychedelic and are measured in microgram doses similar to Lysergic Acid diethylamide (regular LSD). (both tabs contain 1p-LSD) Sometimes analogues are on labeled blotter paper. Most analogues are meant to trick buyers into thinking it is real LSD. 1-propanoyl-lyserigic acid diethylamine Fun fact LSD was made on accident by Swiss scientist Albert Hoffman in 1943. He dosed himself by mistake and experienced the first LSD trip ever! ALBERT HOFFMAN: THE CREATOR OF LSD

Learn how cocaine effects the brain from a simplified neuroscience perspective. How cocaine works in the brain cocaine main page cocaine molecule Cocaine hydrochloride (powder) is a catecholamine-like monoaminergic stimulant that blocks the reuptake of dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin. Cocaine’s molecular structure is chemically similar to endogenous dopamine. Similar structure causes the chemical to bind to dopamine transporters of dopaminergic terminals to blocks reuptake of DA, NE, and 5-Ht. The dopamine spike results in euphoria, hyperactivity, and increased focus. This quick dopamine hit gives cocaine its addiction potential as insufflation (snorting), injection, and smoking all deliver a fast rush of euphoria and energy which can cause psychological dependency. Norepinephrine (noradrenaline) also increases sharply from cocaine ingestion which results in potentially dangerous heart rate increase, vasoconstriction, and tremors. The sharp Noradrenaline spike also contributes to the intensity of the initial “rush” quickly after ingestion. Next page Cocaine as an anesthetic Cocaine is also an anesthetic similar to lidocaine which can numb anything the powder comes in contact with like nose, skin, mouth, and lung. Cocaine acts as an anesthetic because it blocks voltage gated sodium ion channels in nerve cells which increases the action potential threshold and slows the rate of depolarization. These shifts in action potential function makes physical sensation signals much less prevalent in the nerve cells cocaine touches.

Learn about Amphetamines, the dose, purity, effects, and how they work in the brain How to safely use meth and adderall (amphetamines) Meth & adderall Q&A Drugs list Amphetamine pharmacology Amphetamines are a group of stimulant drugs including Meth and Adderall. There are thousands of drugs in the amphetamine class but these 2 are the most prevalent in society. Methamphetamine and amphetamine salt (Adderall) yield extremely similar effects and carry similar risks when consumed in recreational doses. Note that any information written about ADDERALL refers to those who abuse and get high on it. Prescribed amounts for those who need the drug are not included in this article. People with ADHD taking prescribed 5mg to 20mg of Adderall are not the same as an average person snorting (sniffing) many crushed up pills to get high. Methamphetamine is also known as meth, crank, ice, crystal. Adderall is sometimes called a smart drug or study drug. Methamphetamine is illegal in all circumstances whereas Adderall can be legally prescribed for the treatment of disorders like attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Both drugs are central nervous stimulants or “uppers” that induce euphoria, explosive amount of energy, increase enthusiasm, ramp up heart rate, and constrict pupils / circulation. High doses of these drugs lessen the desire for eating or sleeping which has many mental and bodily consequences. The Amphetamine class of drugs used recreationally cause the user to feel stronger, more confident, smarter, and more aware then they really are. how illegal is meth / adderall meth & adderall myths The general population views meth as a hard drug that is highly addictive and ruins the life of everyone who uses it. Someone imagining a meth addict visualizes a bone skinny, raggedy, toothless, dirty homeless person. Meanwhile, when someone visualizes an Adderall user they often visualize a businessman taking drugs to manage their busy work or busy family schedule. Put simply, meth is viewed as a dangerous drug that ruins lives and Adderall as a drug used for studying and productivity for normal people. The truth, according to pharmacology, is that pure meth and Adderall are just as addictive and relatively the same danger level to consume when taken at the same dose. Both meth and Adderall equally cause sleep deprivation, weight loss, dopamine deficiency, and brain alterations. Both chemicals function the same way in the brain and carry extremely similar overdose potential. Society is mislead because meth is illegal and Adderall is a “medicine” so it is reasonable to believe that a medicine is good for you and illegal drugs are dangerous. Sadly, this is not the case. Adderall (dextro and levoamphetamine) is not a better or worse choice to make legal than using medical grade methamphetamine. The one and only reason Adderall may be considered a better option to use recreationally is because pills from a pharmacy are not likely to be laced, have impurities, and have accurate dosing. Theoretically, if you have 2 pills, one contains meth and the other contains Adderall amphetamines. Assume both are medical grade and contain no harmful additives. It would be impossible to tell which pill contains what based solely off of the effects of the drug. The only way to tell is if you test the pill with a reagent testing kit. Overall, it is highly recommended to learn about drugs on your own and not believe that legal medicines are always good and illegal drugs will always kill you. Adderall and meth are effectively the same drug with totally different public perceptions. Methamphetamine and Adderall are both Schedule 2 drugs in the United States. Schedule 2 drugs are considered to have high potential for abuse potentially leading to severe psychological or physical dependence. The scheduling of a drug is determined by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) in America. Other Schedule 2 drugs include cocaine, Ritalin, oxycodone, and fentanyl. The scheduling of drugs in America is very controversial and the ranking does not always align with the current scientific research regarding the danger and abuse potential of the substances. Adderall dosing 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 is available as either colored, stamped pills or orange capsules with beads. Pills provide immediate effects within an hour, while capsules offer extended release over 6urs. Some abuse Adderall by crushing snorting it, seeking a quicker rush of euphoria, which is dangerous. Snorting can harm the nose and respiratory system, as the fillers are not meant for inhalation, and it increases the drug's addictive potential due to the rapid onset of effects. Meth dosing Methamphetamine is often found in powder or crystalized form. Powder meth is often snorted, injected, swallowed in capsules. Whereas crystal meth is not snorted because it severely cuts and tears the inside of the nose. Crystal can be smoked, melted then injected, or swallowed. Due to meth being illegal and not created 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” exists because people who smoke meth for a long time have severe tooth and gum damage. The actual methamphetamine drug itself does not cause mouth damage. It is the toxic additives that are leftover from creating the drug. How to remain safe using street Adderall Street Adderall are very commonly counterfeited, laced with meth or other drugs, and can contain the wrong dose. These risks apply to Adderall pills not from a pharmacy / prescription. The rule of thumb is if you did not personally pick them up from the pharmacy with your prescription then you MUST assume they are counterfeit. Never believe a dealer that say they got them from a pharmacy even if they show you a prescription. Always assume a dealers drugs will be laced . Dealers and producers can buy amphetamine powder and a pill press machine from amazon to make pills that looks identical to a real pharmaceutical grade pill. Do not try to visually distinguish real from fake pills. Additionally, if you test your Adderall and it tests positive for the correct drug, you can never know how much of the drug is in the pill. Never blindly believe the pills label If its stamped “30” or “15” indicating the amount of milligrams. Counterfeit dealers often press an incorrect amount of the amphetamine powder into the pill. There is not a test to determine how strong the pill is so after reagent testing the pill , it is recommended to swallow 10% of the pill to gauge how strong it is. Counterfeit Adderall often contain no Adderall at all. Many pills are made with powdered methamphetamine mixed with colored pill binder and pressed into the shape and color of real pills. Dealers can make more money selling meth and calling it Adderall. If you get Adderall pills from anywhere besides a pharmacy with your prescription you MUST reagent test the drug to make sure your pills are not methamphetamine. Many websites sell the test kits can decipher Adderall from meth It is critical to reagent test meth / Adderall. Please visit Dance Safe linked below and get drug testing kits. It may save your life. Click here to get reagents on Dance Safe How to test if your Adderall is real Step 1 Buy the marquis OR Liebermann reagent. Either of these tests will turn orange when EITHER meth or Adderall is detected. The marquis / Liebermann test will tell you if you have a type of amphetamine and not a completely different drug like heroin or MDMA. Only Meth and Adderall turn orange when using this test. Step 2 Buy the Simon’s reagent to see if you have meth OR Adderall. When placing a drop of the simons reagent on a small portion of the pill, the reagent will turn blue if the pill is made of meth and have no reaction if the pill is Adderall. step 3 You must use a fentanyl contamination test. As little as 2 grains of sand worth of fentanyl can be deadly. This step is as important as the previous 2 steps. Information to note YOU MUST UNDERSTAND that both marquis OR lieberman in addition to simons need to be used. Using only 1 reagent and not the other will not give you enough information to confidently say the pill is meth or Adderall. After both steps of reagent testing it is likely that the results from the reagents determined the correct drug.

Learn about DMT. How to use it, how to stay safe, and how it effects the brain Pharmacology DMT Q&A DMT is often called “the spirit molecule” It is thought to be the most potent psychedelic drug known to science. DMT induces full out of body experiences known as ego death where the ability to realize you are alive or have lived is lost. DMT safety and dosing DMT stands for Dimethyltryptamine and 5-MeO-DMT is 5-methoxy-dimethyltryptamine. DMT is much stronger and lasts much less time than other psychedelics like LSD or mushrooms. The dosing guidelines provided below are for smoking DMT. Disclaimer: the dosage guidelines provided are extremely rough estimates and are not concrete. Variables such as purity, person's weight, and brain chemistry differences can all affect how DMT affects you at a certain dose. Use the dosages provided as a general idea and ALWAYS START SMALL and work your way up. There are defined levels and terminology for DMT trips. The difference between 30 and 40 mg of DMT powder causes a much stronger experience and is not noticeable to the naked eye. You must use a high quality milligram scale to safely dose this drug. DMT is often sold as a crystal or powder and is often smoked. Many people choose to put DMT onto marijuana and smoke it but that is not recommended as mixing marijuana with psychedelics raises the chances of having an overwhelming trip. DMT crystals are can be completely white but impurities in powders can cause an off-white, yellow, or light brownish color which is normal. Smoked DMT powder is often described as smelling and tasting like rubber or mothballs which is very distinct from any other smell. ayahuasca Dosing Pure DMT How illegal is DMT Ayahuasca is a brewed liquid traditionally from root bark and plants that contain DMT. Ayahuasca has a long history of use by South American religious groups as a sacred ritual where ayahuasca (DMT) drinks are consumed to cause psychedelic and spiritual experiences. The word ayahuasca is the name of a vine from the Amazon that contains DMT. While there are many plants used for ayahuasca a popular source of DMT is from the root bark of the plant Mimosa Hostilis. Mimosa Hostilis root bark is boiled which extracts the DMT from it. Drinking DMT root bark tea by itself will not give psychedelic effects. DMT is not an orally active molecule which is why the powder is often smoked. To make DMT tea orally active there must be a Monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) present. The liver enzyme Monoamine Oxidase breaks the DMT molecule down into a non-psychoactive derivative before it has a chance to cause psychedelic effects. Many metabolites are produced from DMT break down but mainly DMT-N-oxide (DMT-NO), and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) which are not hallucinogenic. To prevent DMT breakdown in the liver the monoamine oxidase (MAO) must be blocked by way of a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI). Many ayahuasca brews contain both a bark like Mimosa Hostilis and a plant containing MAOIs such as Banisteriopsis caapi (BC) and Peganum harmala (PH). Both MAOI plants contain an active monoamine oxidase inhibitor such as β-carbolines harmalol, harmine, and harmaline. By brewing a DMT-containing bark like Mimosa Hostilis and MAOI-containing plant such as Peganum harmala together the resulting brew will cause hallucinogenic DMT effects when consumed. DMT containing plants such as Mimosa hostilis root bark are usually legal to purchase and possess in the united states. Although pure DMT powder is a schedule 1 illegal drug there is a grey area in the law about the entire plant. Purchasing and possessing the plant or bark is legal while extracting and consuming DMT is illegal. DMT is an illegal Schedule 1 drug in the United States. Schedule 1 drugs are considered to have no medical benefits and high potential for abuse. The scheduling of a drug is determined by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) in America. Other Schedule 1 drugs include heroin, marijuana, and ecstasy (MDMA). The scheduling of drugs in America is very controversial and the scheduling does not always align with the current scientific research regarding the danger and abuse potential of the substances. DMT containing plants such as Mimosa hostilis root bark are usually legal to purchase and possess in the united states. Although pure DMT powder is a schedule 1 illegal drug there is a grey area in the law about the entire plant. Purchasing and possessing the plant or bark is legal while extracting and consuming DMT is illegal. An effective dose of DMT is very small and extremely potent so accurate measuring is crucial. You must use a scale that measures milligrams accurately and reliably. The average dose of smoked crystal (freebase) DMT is anywhere from 20 to 40 milligrams or 0.02 to 0.04 grams. Anything above 40 milligrams has a high chance of overwhelming the average person. DMT doses are so small that you must weigh them with a precision scale to remain safe and in control of your dose. For perspective, 50 milligrams is about how much a grain of rice weighs which is very small. Warning DMT carts are easily laced with deadly drugs like fentanyl. carts are the most dangerous way to ingest DMT How Ayahuasca is made Mimosa hostilis root bark DMT containing root bark is shredded and boiled to extract the psychedelic component Banisteriopsis caapi vine A monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) containing vine or bark is boiled with the DMT containing source to make the DMT orally active so psychedelic effects to occur when the brew is consumed Final product: ayahuasca The final brew contains orally active DMT which causes intense psychedelic effects when drank.
