What recreational drugs in your opinion should someone avoid taking at all costs?

Could refer to Captain Marvel, too.

Not to mention that “bhutaan” only returns google results for places, and “metphedrone” appears to be a misspelling of “mephedrone,” otherwise known as bath salts. Whoever put that list together has to have been pretty fuckin’ high.

Sorry if this has been asked and answered before, but how exactly do you pronounce that?

I like mushrooms too, half my family is from Catalonia, where mushroom-hunting (yes, we call it to hunt them, just like snails) is a great tradition. My favourites: Boletus edulis and Lactarius deliciosus. Thanks for your request, I appretiate it and gladly accept it!

And thank you for sharing your art. I enjoyed it!

/hijack (although can a thread on recreational drugs ever truly be hijacked?!)

Woostuhshirr.

:cool:

I had it wrong all these years. I was pronouncing it “Throat-Warbler Mangrove.” :wink:

Man, back then, I used to try amanitas muscaria, tried it four or five times I think, various dosages, following recipes and such. Felt nothing. I still don’t get it. (Found the mushroom tasty though! Once dried.)
Now I just enjoy their prettiness in the forest :slight_smile:

When I did cocaine, my reaction was, This is how I’m supposed to feel. Luckily I could not afford it on a regular basis.

Very pure, very good rock cocaine, that you have to chop and make very powder like… is instantly addictive … upon ingestion!!

Ask me how I know ??

I’ve been taking Hydrocodone since 91 and I never got high off it. My guess is that the abusers take high dosages to get high.

That kind of dosage scare me.

Well, basically if it’s a heavy trip (actual hallucination inducing) you’re aware it’s a hallucination. Think of it like a really good VR experience.
If you get uncomfortable with a particular hallucination a blink and headshake can take you from say ; a dartboard looking like it is a patterned tunnel into the wall or your room being an open veranda on the river nile in ancient Egypt with heiroglyphs dancing on the wall
To; " eh , I’m gonna walk up to the gas station, huh, those streetlights have a little extra glare"

The difference is very obvious.

You’re never stuck wishing you hadn’t drank this much but still dizzy and staggering around and feeling sick.

Not to say your judgement is perfect or your completely aware of exactly how affected you are but you can damn well tell whether lights are a bit bright or you’re off in imagination land and by and large you can control it.

Remember this is a psychoactive, and just like a great many anti- depressants , you can over power it.

There’s also no amount that is actually toxic to brain or body, so you can’t OD.

Short version, you have to allow the hallucinations , otherwise you just have less filtered senses.

“Hunting” is also the term used by morel, ahem, hunters.

I thought it was pronounced “fish.” :smiley:

Ghoti = could potentially be pronounced “fish”

I’ve always wondered how some of them avoid deep-frying their livers, due to the acetaminophen that accompanies it.

Huh, that sounds pretty interesting!

Thanks for the detail! I still don’t get it, but my drug use is limited to alcohol and occasional ibuprofen (at correct dosage!).

Exactly. Unless they figured how to extract the Hydrocodone out.

Which is a simple thing for anyone who understands basic chemistry.

Alcohol has the largest proportion of harm to others, while LSD has apparently nearly none, but it’s not clear if this chart reflects the inherent effects of using the drug, or just the effects which come about because of the actual volume of usage overall throughout society.
