#and also... hallucinogenic drugs

[sprinklethetangerine]

Turns out my stupid psych exam is tomorrow and I was just straight up fuckin lied to.

#at least i have more time to study now #were taking like the mental state of adolescents and adults and elderly #and also... hallucinogenic drugs #one of these things is not like the others #i think thats my favorite one honestly #for two reasons 1. its easy 2. hallucinogenic drugs. #need i say more #were mostly talking about LSD #like the effect it has on the brain the effects of being addicted etc etc #its really interesting actually #the whole like mental state of adolescents adults and elderly is like #basically adolescents: who am I? adults: i should've taken a chance when i was younger (is still quite young) elderly: im old (thru tears) #not really but... its basically it #i mean we took a few disorders that are more common in adolescents than other ages #but other than that its all pretty much what you expect

I love your Durge and his relationship with the Gort. ;_; You have fed this hungry soul with your wonderful art and meta. I have to ask, because I didn't see it anywhere: what does Gortash make of Sceleritas? Sceleritas is Ballard's stressball, his buddy, his little guy, but what does Ballard's boyfriend think about the creepy little imp that follows him everywhere?

AHH I'M GLAD, they make me insane and sharing it is the only way to recover

I actually need to draw or write more of gortash and sceleritas interacting bc they are cooperatively nuts. the easy answer is that there is a mutual loathing between the two of them; this is also true! Gortash thinks Sceleritas is a freaky little weirdo who has too much influence on Ballard's internal mindscape. Scleritas thinks Gortash is a heretical lying little harlot who has too much influence on Ballard's internal mindscape. Ballard has the least patience for both of them when they're bitching about the other--Sceleritas trying to get him to ditch Gortash is the leading cause of imp murder in the last decade, but the first time Gortash does more than verbal violence in Sceleritas' direction (he sees Ballard stab the guy like twice a week SURELY it's fine) Ballard breaks his arm in two places.

The additional answer, that is extremely funny also, is that they have a begrudging alliance where they drink wine and bitch whenever Ballard and Orin get into knock down, drag out fights. They throw a wrench in Gortash and Ballard's plans, they wreak ABSOLUTE havoc on the Temple of Bhaal's schedule and liturgical calendar, and Sceleritas can and has drunk Gortash under the table on multiple occasions. Gortash, of course, handles this very badly, and keeps thinking that next time surely he will do better. He does not! Sceleritas Fel is tiny but he is a demonic alcoholic and he is not going down easy.

#asks #bg3 #ballard #character meta #durgetash #sceleritas fel #enver gortash #also I think Ballard dabbles in a variety of drugs and Sceleritas has introduced him to all of them and it keeps pissing Gortash off #he'll be like 'oh my dear try this hallucinogen you will love it' and Ballard will tell him about the time four years ago #that he and sceleritas lost three weeks on a drug boat and Ballard killed and ate the a pirate lord for funsies

i dont want to do that

#i do not think you should have to abuse drugs to work at a level acceptable to society #also like i fundamentally do not get how this could help #its a hallucinogen right..? #yap #i mean the article is behind a paywall so i cant see anything besides the headline so i might be completely missing the point

I was describing DFF to a friend from CQL fandom and she said New with Non sounded kind of like Huaisang with Mingjue, and it def clarified a lot for me about how I feel about both avenging brothers.

The ends don't justify the means, the cats and children and working class servants murdered along the way aren't erasable casualties in the name of a true justice, and these avengers are fundamentally unhinged, twisted, broken people, not righteous seekers of fairness in the world. But I love that both of them are driven by real desperation and are frantic and messy in how much they need to make their revenge happen at any cost; someone trying to burn the world down in their grief, and actually taking the good parts of the world and themselves down along with their target(s), adds so much texture and dimension to the narrative for me.

I love a justice story and an ethical revenge, but for example w/ The Glory, even though that's for me the best it's ever been done, we still have things like a woman being victim-blamed for her rape and drug addiction as narratively acceptable modes of vengeance. I find something freeing in a story that isn't about punishment and who deserves what, but just about the emotional depths people are driven to by loss and rage and the unfairness of a world with no accountability.

#i hope that makes sense i should not be on the computer rn #like it's not just that it's a tragedy and no one wins or something #i'm deeply sympathetic to huaisang and new - honestly they rip my HEART out #but it doesn't mean i think they're making all or even mostly righteous choices #it's similar to how i feel about ter from 3 will be free when he goes around murdering all my favorite side characters #sometimes the wrongness and cruelty of who they hurt for their revenge makes it more honest for me #than if they actually managed to stay within lines of presumable fairness #and also like i said i love the desperation and franticness #huaisang was not murdering cats because he decided the cats had it coming #he was trying to stay one step ahead of a brilliant+ruthless master strategist and making absolutely bugfuck choices in the name of that #i wonder how new was supporting himself and his DRUG LABORATORY after he stopped getting that allowance #did he at some point leave school like tee did and just work during the day and do revenge chemistry at night #i'll never stop thinking about how alone he was this entire time too #men will literally spend years refining a murder hallucinogen instead of go to therapy #dead friend forever #dff #new prathipsit #mdzs #nie huaisang #dear diary

Man those people on your ‘why are you straight edge’ poll are really showing their disdain for people who engage with any sort of drug… if I may add, I voted for having a medical restriction (my liver is failing thank youuuu immune system) AND I also take prescription opiate medication to help with pain. Every time I take my painkillers on days where I’m not working so that I can enjoy my hobbies I have complicated feelings about it because anti opiate rhetoric is just EVERYWHERE and it’s like… I just want to have a nice day. Getting over the ‘oh but it can be ADDICTIVE’ stigma is so important and it’s really not different just because I have a prescription. People who are so nasty about drug use for recreation are so stressful to me.

Ikr it's like people have such disdain for addicts, and drug users in general. I get upset about this because while I personally am a very casual user and I spend most of the time sober and am self assured so I can walk people being dicks about it off, but I know addicts and their lives are hard enough without all the stigma piled on top of it. I just wish everyone could be addiction neutral and pro harm reduction but they're so moralistic about it. I wasnt the politest I could have been about people not drinking and having sex because I was trying to keep it light and I know people take things like this really serious and it kinda backfired.

But like I totally know what you mean about the opioid thing. I really think that our society could benefit from being a little more addiction neutral, because yeah sometimes substance dependency does ruin your life, but I'm neurodivergent and I've met people where I think that doing life with drugs is better for them. Like you raise a great point about opioids. They're dangerous and addictive but if you're in pain because of a disability you need pain management. It's not really an option if you want to lead a normal life. There's a lot of heroin addicts who got that way because they needed pain management and their doctors refused them on the basis that they might become addicted, but taking a daily pill to improve your life, while it may be illegal depending on the substance, isn't bad. I bring up my own neurodivergence because I've heard of the same thing with ADHD and stimulants. Most people who have an ADHD diagnosis can get an Adderall prescription, but undiagnosed people and people falling through insurance cracks will sometimes turn to the street version. And it's like those people, both the ones with a script and the ones who are self medicating, should not be forced to live a substandard life because of someone else imagines there's some purity to a life without drugs. The goal should be to get those people the drugs they need in the safest way possible.

And I come down really easy, to the point where I forget to take prescription meds and don't experience any ill effects, but I have a friend who experiences a come down from their adhd meds thats not unlike the comedown ive seen from my other friend who's a meth user, and this friend with the ADHD meds can't function without them. But when the doctor and the pharmacist get them their meds on time they live a perfectly happy fulfilling life. That's what I mean when I say I'm addiction neutral. Most people who get addicted didn't just pick up heroin or whatever one day for shits and giggles. When I fuck around with "highly addictive" substances I make sure I'm in a good place and it's not a problem to drop them. People who develop problems are usually either they're escaping from something or self medicating. The goal for society can't be to never do drugs we've had drugs literally for longer than we've been humans.

I've heard second hand of a study which I haven't gone looking for, I might, because as you can tell this is a bit of a soap box for me, where they gave Heroin addicts a prescribed dose of heroin like you would pick up Percocet for chronic pain at a pharmacy, and because those addicts weren't shooting up mystery amounts and worrying where they were going to get their next hit from so they didn't start rattling and all the other things that make addicts lives hell, they were able to start doing things like holding down jobs. That study should have been a game changer. I want addicts to be able to live, and selfishly I want to be able to go to the drug store when I'm bored and say "one mdma high no fentanyl please" and leave with something to spice up the afternoon. That's like, not a moral failing on my part even though I'm not self medicating I'm just having fun.

The way the war on drugs has ruined drugs, which like, genuinely drugs are sort of magical when you think about it. Not just the fun ones either. Like when I was a baby I had a really bad bladder infection that absolutely would have killed me if I had had that same situation just like 100 years ago, but my mom was able to force a pill down my throat and it went away. Since then I've probably had at least a dozen little things like that that would have killed me dead if someone hadn't invented a chemical that could interact with my body and make it genuinely not a problem. and the fact that we have that for things like chronic pain and we're too afraid to use it because of stigma is so insane. Like god forbid people get high.

#drug posting. #my soap box #im sorry you activated my trap card anon #this isnt even getting into how hallucinogens can be a genuinely spiritual experience. #not everyone can do them obviously ive had some people on that poll who said their doc told them not to smoke weed due to a family history. #...of schizophrenia and that totally makes sense brains are weird and you wouldn't want to fuck up the chemical balance if its precarious #but also I can do them and i really really like them #i talked to Yuggsothoth and i want to do it again some day #i think thats beautiful #like people have used hallucinogens in Religious ceremonies for centuries and i understand why #what is the reason to take that away? other than bigotry?

What about catnip tea? I’ve seen it made for cats before and have thought about including it in my fanclans as a faux alcohol, though the effects are a bit different.

The big difference between catnip and alcohol is that for cats, catnip is a stimulant where alcohol is a depressant.

You could use catnip as a faux alcohol, but more likely is that catnip tea would be more like drinking coffee than having a beer.

Funny enough valerian root has very similar effects to catnip for cats, which is why I used valerian specifically for that Dried Minnows entry. Like having a straight shot of caffeine, it could really give a warrior a boost during a hard journey.

#CW drug use #Drug use #Drug mention #drug usage #Alcohol #tw alcohol #Clan Culture #When I get around to that entry on recreational drugs I'll make sure to have separate sections for Stimulants Depressants and Hallucinogens #IT's also interesting because from what I know both catnip and valerian are depressants in humans #One of those quirks of cat biology #We really are very different animals

Maybe i haven't been reading the right fics but I'm honestly surprised we haven't seen more like, pre-season 3 steddie aus where steve buys drugs from Eddie and eddie trip sits for him. Oh the possibilities

#steddie #steddie au #stranger things #drugs // #like ive read one where eddie trip sits him while he does special k #but like surprised we dont see shrooms or acid or anything come up idk #yeah yeah drugs r bad for u but also eddie is a canon drug dealer the possibilities man #and with steves trauma? so many excuses #like i said i dont mean weed weed comes up a lot but like when you do hallucinogens #its highly suggested you get trip sat that first time

[slocumjoe]

augustijn uses lots of Dutch terms as endearment for danse but his favorite one to use is spekkoek, which is a layered cake that originated from India, because "danse has layers but calling him ui (onion) would be weird," but doesn't think twice about calling his husband pork belly

#spekkoek literally means pork belly/bacon cake #gus also calls him snoepje #snoepje means candy/sweet in the noun form #but its also slang for ecstacy or any other pill-based drug. #im sure you can imagine why gus would use that in particular. comparing danse —someone he does a lot of dumb/questionable things for— #to a hallucinogenic. #yeah their relationship starts off really uuuhhhh codependent. but once theyre actually together theyve worked through their own shit #and are. actually stable people #ss; alter

drug recs for a first time drug doer? I've drunk alcohol obviously but never done anything harder.

Other than booze which I love, Rhino Horn is definitely my favorite. Helps me get shit done but is also fun. But it's not like that for everybody. Eddie basically only does it when he's in a mood and Mary doesn't fuck with it at all, she's more of a stoner than a tweaker. Weeds fun every once in a while. I don't really like opium because you just sit around and nod off. You feel really happy but you don't do much and I like to be doing shit. Can't have a coconut war on opium, and it's a bit of a waste of medical supplies anyway. I basically only do it if there's nothing else on the boat. Mushrooms are great for an afternoon, kinda like weed in that it's for a special occasion where you want to sit around and giggle at stupid shit. You know if you mix mushrooms with lemon juice it dissolves em a little bit and it doesn't last as long but it hits you way harder.

#drugs #that lemon thing is real its called lemon teching #ooc: anyway im about to drop the real shit on you anon #first of all dont do meth. especially if you have adhd. the high to side effects ratio is completely not worth it #coke can be fun but not worth the price tag. doing someone else's coke is great #now all drugs have personalities but uppers and downers are like regular people and hallucinogens are like mythical creatures #mushrooms are a satyr of some kind casting spells to seduce your brain #and lsd is a lovecraftian monstrosity (affectionate) #the big thing with hallucinogens is you have to not be afraid of them or the trip will go bad #self fulfilling prophecy type shit #ideally you should also go in pretty secure in your sense of self because they will fuck with you #that said its a life changing experience i love it so much #ghb is good but watch out if you go overboard you will fall asleep and the night will be a bust #also always test and Do Not Inject #you can back out if you smoke it snort it or eat it but injecting it youre done #I know youre not actually interested in drug recommendations and are just giving jack the chance to say insane shit #but i have opinions #misc asks

okay so in s3e16 reid says he’s been sober for ten months and assuming that episodes are set around the date they air (which they usually are) that means that he got sober in june 2007 so he very conveniently got sober in the break between s2 and s3 which is why we didn’t see it but that also means that despite him acting like none of it had happened from s2e19 onwards he was actually still using during the rest of the season he just got better at hiding it i guess

#i also just noticed that in s7e2 he mentions to jj he almost went back on dilaudid and he specifically said dilaudid #which means at some point he told the team or at the very least jj that he was an addict and it was dilaudid he was addicted to #either that or the writers just forgot that reid never actually told anyone which tbh is a very big possibility #god i wish we saw him get sober how did he do it did he try and detox by himself (not really possible) did he go to rehab #what made him decide to do it was there something that pushed him to did he run out of drugs did he ever try to get more #he used for four months and only had three small bottles he must have been terrified of running out #bc its not like he could just go get some more since what he was actually addicted to was dilaudid cut with a hallucinogen #with tobias dead he has no way of finding out what the. is recipe the right word? he cant make more is what im saying #cm writers i am hunting you down and killing you over this. starting such an interesting plot and then just abandoning it #micah.txt #cmposting

anyone’s who’s ever been on sleeping medications will be like yeah it gave me horrible nightmares and if i took it at the incorrect time it would make me positively incoherent and also gave me this really weird high that had a really bad vibe and made me see spectral beings and other dimensions. and you’ll be like so do you recommend them and they’ll be like yeah sure

#(it’s me. i’m they) #this one time i mixed sleeping meds alcohol and md #i have so many vivid memories of that day #i still don’t know if it happened. like i was alone so I can’t ask anyone all i know is i did not die. i think #anyway kids don’t be like me #sorry the asshole yesterday made me recall how like. Into alcohol i was. which made me think of Drugs #I don’t talk about this much here. but yeah sleeping meds rock as a hallucinogenic. as sleeping meds they kinda suck tbh #the post is a joke btw i do not recommend u take them #edit: for clarity google tells me the english name of md is molly #can’t confirm or deny but there you go #also #drugs tw #i guess???

Someone please explain to me why my mother is dying-on-this-hill against me being on a tiny (read: chlidren’s) dose of a prescribed mood booster, but is not only considering but actively encouraging me to take part in a newly experimental drug study involving PSYCHEDELICS.

#no to actually studied and doctor-approved meds but yes to HALLUCINOGENIC DRUGS????? #maybe it's helpful but I'm not gonna find out #ocd already gives you these things called 'quasi-hallucinations' which are like...mirages kind of but for sensations? #(and sometimes for things you can see too) #I DON'T NEED MORE OF THAT??????!!? #WHY DO YOU THINK I'VE NEVER DONE DRUGS. INCLUDING LEGAL WEED. WHY DO YOU THINK I'VE ONLY GOTTEN DRUNK ONCE #IT'S BECAUSE ME + LOSS OF CONTROL IS A /VERY BAD TIME/ AND ALSO MY /WORST/ FEAR #if this study can help people I genuinely wish it the best but I do not have enough words in all languages combined to explain why this #would be a bad idea for me personally I DO NOT UNDERSTAND #my mother: but you've tried everything and you're not Cured™ :( #also my mother: *tries to strong-arm me into things that have proven to actively make my mental illness worse and cuts off my financial #access to different medications I haven't tried yet because 'iT's dAnGErOuS'* #like. gee lady I wonder why an illness that has a near-universal lack of complete permanent remission is still a problem in this environment #oh but the Physical Illness™ she's willing to try ANYTHING and EVERYTHING my well-vetted doctors suggest and to be on any meds they #prescribe because. you know. of course she is. of course she has to be a hypocrite in this way just like she always is *rme* #tw: ableism

I want to trip but everyone talks about the revelations they have and it's just like. My standard? Like, yeah man we're all the same thing and connected and reality is bigger than our general scope.

It just makes me wonder what kind of shit I'm going to find out or if it's just going to be a more intense version of the same.

Super curious about machine elves and shit tho, like maybe I won't realize anything but I can fuck with some extra dimensional creatures

#its like that meme that men need to take shrooms to realize shit ive known since i was 12 #i think machine elves also usually happen with DMT or more intense psychedelics/hallucinogens #which i absolutely shouldnt do because my brain is already all fucked up #... i still might if i was in the right situation though because im a curious little george #and I love drugs
