(Part 2) Top products from r/askdrugs

i guess i was more interested in the subjective traits to LSD that you enjoyed, because not all drugs are the same.

something like "i like the trippy shit i saw", or "i enjoyed the wacked out shit my brain would come up with", or "it felt like i was flying", or what-have-you...

skiming over that link, it seems like a change of perception is what got you interested, in which case, mescaline and 2c-e, would be my suggestions to be on top of the list to research. listen to /u/hedonistphilosopher's thoughts on 2c-e. also, read PiHKAL and TiHKAL. Shulgin literally wrote the book on this class of chemicals

A not commonly known tea called Yerba Mate has almost the same caffeine content of coffee, but it's much better for you, having almost twice the antioxidants of green tea. This is my favorite brand. I really recommend you check it out.

I enjoyed Drugged (http://www.amazon.com/Drugged-Science-Culture-Behind-Psychotropic/dp/0199957975) for a not-super-heavy book on these drugs. The author crafts everything into being very story like and it flows well.

You will need to spend at least a few hundred dollars to get a scale that can come close to measuring 6mg accurately.

Go buy the GPR-20 from Amazon (not the cheaper Gemini model, trust me) and use that to measure out 48mg. Then you can dissolve that into some manageable amount of solvent and take 1/8 of the solution for 6mg.

Baraka and Samsara are classic trip films:

If you haven't tried scalp massagers yet, they feel fantastic when tripping:

Also, nitrous oxide goes really well with MDMA and psychedelics.

You can get something like this to help you move the chems. Don't get plastics as they can get staticly charged.

Some scales come with small shallow containers with a spout that you can pour the powder from into a capsule. You can also place the stuff in a capsule that you have weighed beforehand. A little brush can help moving the powder out of a container that you have.

I really enjoyed Cooking with Cannabis. Lots of scientific and personal information from the author.

Read The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg. Do that before anything. Write out your goals in great details. Consider this book also, for getting things done. I would consider another shroom trip with the exact intention you have here. Sit in silence for a while, journal what you want to change, then trip. 18, however common, is a dangerous time to start depending on stims, and they won't give you wisdom. Especially if you don't have a plan. Sure, you'll probably feel great and may improve for a while, but its so damn easy for it to end up worse. There's countless stories of that. If you do go that route, I strongly believe in the advice that you plan out EXACTLY what you will do before you take stims. Also, hang out with people who are living the way you want to live.

>PiHKAL if anyone has heard of it.

lol, yes we have heard of it. I'm just teasing, anyways I enjoyed this. Also I've heard fear and loathing in Las vegas is good, but I haven't gotten around to reading it yet.

You just use the key as a kind of scoop from a bag so it is about how much would end up on the end.

If you are really intent on eyeballing your doses, you could get little spoons like this. Just measure how much is in the spoon when it's leveled off, then you will know how much (of that material) that spoon holds for future uses. One of the problems with eyeballing is that different materials (and different batches) will have different densities, so it really is safer to use a scale...

Study chess opening books, learnthe fridrich method and read this book from cover to cover.

Then, go around claiming to be a genius.

This book is pretty good. It doesn't cover every drug or all the effects, chemistry, pharmacology, etc. but is rather a compilation from tons of different books. There are a couple poems, there are some excerpts from Shulgin, there is a passage from Fear and Loathing, there is a lot of historical studies. It is the best drug related book I've come across.
Edit: there are pictures too

I like this book a lot: Illegal Drugs: A Complete Guide to their History, Chemistry, Use, and Abuse - Paul Gahlinger

I'm currently reading Moksha in which Aldous Huxley talks about his experiences with Mescaline and LSD among other things. It's pretty crazy. It's just making me want to experiment with my mind. As a writer, I feel as though I could greatly benefit from such experiences as he describes, and a lot of the experiences/descriptions on Erowid and Bluelight and Reddit seem pretty exciting and I want to experience that craziness for myself.


Edit: Read about hedonistphilosopher's 2C-E trip. Holy. fucking. shit. He also had a post about Heroin, which made it sound amazing. Is Heroin really as addicting as they say? I know everyone says stay away, but I'd like to think I have an insane amount of self-control and could handle it. My only qualm is the possibility of something going bad (losing a shitton of money, dropping out of college, sucking dick to get a fix, re-hab, re-lapse, re-hab, etc) would absolutely suck. The way he talks about it makes it seem almost normal, tho. Also, I wouldn't think about taking it intravenously, I'd probably snort it. Any enlightenment on that subject?
