Does it have an expiry date?. I found it in a random box in the storage area. He swares its anti opiod stuff ... im so mad confused scared right now

Thanks
Me and my mates are experienced with weed, lsd and shrooms but we haven’t done anything beyond that yet. I was wanting to try ecstasy but my friends are hesitant. To help convince them, I want to know if it even is that addictive. Like could someone just do it weekly for a month and be done, or is it more complicated than that? (For reference we are all quite young, all friends are 17/18, I am 19)
To start I have 3 5/500 mg hydrocodnes, 2 50 mg tramadol and 10 350mg somas. I just want to lay in bed and relax without feeling too nauseous. Last time I took soma I started violently shaking so I kinda want to try something else. I might try the tramadol but I am not sure. Any suggestions on what to take and how much? Thanks
Me and my girlfriend smoked a joint the night before last and after about 15 minutes started hallucinating. Our hearts started pounding and we couldn’t move. We both experienced the feeling of being completely out of body. There were profound grey-scale LSD-like visuals when our eyes were closed. With eyes open, colors and lights looked like the would while wearing 3D glasses. Our mouths became so dry that we could barely speak. Everything became tingly and numb. After about 2 hours we’d started coming down. It’s been a day and a half and it comes back occasionally in small waves, each less intense than the previous. The waves come with extreme bouts of a panicking feeling and everything will get vibrant and my body will feel tingly. My friend said it sounds like PCP? We’re just not really sure what to do at this point
So I just want to say Ik I was being stupid and broke rule #1 don’t take anything from strangers ik ik. Pls don’t b mean if you reply I’ve alr given myself enough shit.
Anyways, I was at EDC Orlando and some guy had been smoking a joint and just vibing.
Key part of this, I SAW him smoking it.
He ended up offering it to me and I had one super small hit and gave it right back. After like 5 minutes I started thinking like “oh shit wtf kinda weed is that I’m alr fried”. I found this kinda weird bc I’m an experienced weed smoker and one hit won’t normally do anything.
But then I started getting super hot and nauseous and had to tell my friend I was gonna throw up. Thank god I finally told him bc once we started walking thru the crowd to get out my vision went completely black and I was dead weight. I couldn’t keep my balance and barely had the strength to talk. My friend had to literally hold me upright and said that he thought I was gonna die.
It went away like nothing even happened after I took a vitamin to chew on. I just seriously don’t know what was in that “joint” and google isn’t helping. Anyone got any ideas?
i was gonna get 2 tabs for me and my buddy because we are going to a cabin, but some unexpected stuff came up and i dont have the money, if i explain the situation and offer ten interest is it weird? js an idea atm..
My brain is melting and I think my head is exploding and falling apart. I think I’m dying. The. Inter h says I can’t but I don’t one
I was just wondering if there was a way to use ambien recreationally with just the hypnotic and sedative effects but without the deliriant/psychedelic effects.

I'm puking and my head hurts and I feel nauseous I took it like at 2am and it's 7am now I want to stop puking I only took one pill of not that much. Please any tips on how to stop it , or do I got to ride it out
Ok so I bought mdma from the dark web a while ago, and when I got it there was a note inside that said to contact them on telegram. I did and he wanted me to sell mdma for him in the US kept asking how much I could pay him for each gram and long story short he sent me 100 grams of mdma for free, even paid for tracked shipping. This was months ago and I haven't heard a word from him. And its good stuff so thats what has me confused.... did I get free drugs from a stranger or am I getting scammed in some way? Honestly dumbfounded at the whole situation.
Ive taken mdma before, not pure but just basic ecstasy pills. Obviously not safe but you know.. Usually when I’ve taken xtc ive taken them with my friend. Every single time mine never hit as hard as hers, I am on SSRI medication, which ive heard can lessen the effects of it. But comparing to my other friends whom taken the same exact amount, my friend quite literally goes crazy. She has diagnosed ADHD and honestly some of us are suspecting Schizophrenia. She took take same amount as me and my other friend yesterday (About 250mg) the rest of us were chilling vibing to the music, but once the pill hit my friend, she went literally crazy. She was running around just rubbing and scratching her head, legs, arms… she kept saying ”I need more” or even more terrible she kept saying ”I really wanna cut myself right now, I wanna kill myself right now.” Even though she kept saying she felt amazing. She would run to the corner of the room and try to hide, because she was seeing something that wasnt there. I was terrified, I was shaking. Since this has happened before when it was just is two, I was terrified she would hurt herself again like she has before. I couldnt be around her, I would start panicking and having trouble breathing if I saw her. Can the reason for that be because of her medical conditions, like ADHD? If anyone has any answers please tell me.
Okay so recently I got some adderall theyre 10 mg (ir) I wasnt feeling much so i decided to crush up and put 7 pills into about 8 oz of water. I havent felt much yet. Is this dangerous? or did i just ruin the potency and wont feel anything? Also ive had kinda the same experience with coke (not feeling it that much) could there be a reason i dont feel anything from them?
I’ve not really taken that many stimulants before but its on par with some mild opioids for me. I guess its genetics and maybe its because i have adhd. Its similar to drinking 3 beers. Anyone else feel this way or am i tripping?
Pls don’t add me on drugcirclejerk 🥺🙏
I want to share my experience that I had taking the train down to London and walking around the city a couple weeks ago. There are parts that are embarrassing but I'll tell my story, nonetheless.
I'll start by saying that the first two to three hours are the most intense part of the high that are a bit anxiety and paranoia inducing for me. Followed by about another two to three hours of somewhat of the same intensity but less anxiety, and then about 6-8 hours of the perfect equilibrium; almost no intensity, ego death, and the clarity of mind and euphoria that is incredibly settling and relaxing for me.
I drop a 200 ug tab (holy fuck) and get to the train station about an hour and a half later, so I am well into my come up at this point. Being around strangers during this come up period IS NOT WISE. Mind you it's late in the morning on a weekend so we're packed like sardines on this train. People that I normally wouldn't even remotely consider a threat, I now perceive as potential threats. It's not even just an ass beating that I am thinking about. I blow it so far out of proportion that I convince myself that the threats are potentially life threatening. I have a really bad tendency to notice small innocuous details i.e. like focusing on specific words in a conversation and interpreting them as a double meaning or as subtextual and that they are maliciously directed toward me, even if people aren't talking to me and they are just talking amongst themselves. I've been on the train for a couple of minutes at this point and it hasn't even departed the station yet, and I am already a fucking wreck listening to the people around me. When I am sober and if I thought someone was doing what I just described I would brush it off and probably laugh, but during this part of the trip I am taking shit dead seriously.
Anyway, it's becoming too much for me and I panic, grab my bag and rush to the door just as it closes so now, I am stuck. Now I am convincing myself that I am in danger, and I am backed into a corner, so my fight response is kicking in very quickly. People aren't even fucking looking at me, but I am so lost in my head that I feel like people are ridiculing me and trying to either beguile me into reacting or subtly threatening me if I do react. So, I move to the other side of the compartment but it's the same thing all over again with new people. I am basically convincing myself that I am getting bullied off of this train, so I get off at the next station because I am shaken by fear and am about to start a 6-hour journey back home, but I am so fucking paranoid at this point that I start asking myself "Did these people bully me off this train to set me up to get robbed or killed when I leave the train station?" So, before I leave, I calm myself down enough to nut the fuck up and catch the next train.
I get on the next train, and it is the same motherfucking thing all over again with a group of three guys. I am convinced that I am going to have to fight this group. But there are also two guys standing next to me that I am convinced are trying to coach me through this 45-minute train ride into the city to not lose my mind or cause a scene with this group of guys. On this train ride however, I have my headphones on so I can't hear people, but I am already paranoid, so I am delusionally interpreting body language, and my intuition is telling me that these guys are a threat. It's becoming clear to me that my pride is getting me in trouble, since I perceived that people are trying to punk me, I am giving off a vibe that I am bucking back which is escalating the tension that I am feeling. Which maybe other people can feel, and they are just reacting to me? Probably likely?
Train ride is over and fucking nothing happens. It's like a breath of fresh air when I walk outside, and all this tension and weight is lifted off my shoulders. I walk to a museum and by the time I get there I am in that second two to three hours of the high and I am having a great time. There are even more people there than on the train, but all the art was cool, and it was a blast frying at the museum and thinking about all the art and the history of the varying cultures and what not. I leave I go get ramen, which was fucking delicious and walk back to the train station, get on the train and no problems the entire time and get back home and walk around the town for an hour and all is good.
I didn't let those first few hours fuck up my day or my trip. I got really comfortable after that time passed and just enjoyed myself. I was the common denominator in all that bad shit that I was experiencing and also for all the good that I experienced afterward. So, a piece of advice for myself and anyone else out there: Do not obsess, discipline your mind and stay grounded and don't freak yourself out. I convinced myself that I was living in an Orwellian world where everyone was Big Brother and knew what I was thinking and doing. That is a horrible way to go through a trip. Get some snacks, get comfortable and enjoy yourself. Life is too short to live in fear and anxiety!
Cheers!
popped 2mgs of xanax with 2 beers and mannnn I got so hungry
I ordered a jalapeño sandwich and ate some toasted sandwiches 😭 that bag of chilli lime chips was heavenly fr
TL;DR Are there any recovery accelerating nutrients that should be supplemented or nutrient rich whole foods to take before, during, or after the comedown? Should any foods or supplements be avoided? Is the nutrient requirement different for different drugs? Do any light OTC drugs make the mental toll manageable? If you have a recovery process could you comment what it is?
I think I'd be cool if yall would talk about your recovery processes if you have any so that the information is more accessible to people struggling. It'd be nice if you could explain different methods for different drugs, if you have any.
This probably won't help or be useful to responsible users or maybe it will. They won't do as much damage to themselves as someone who binges for hours or days straight, maybe the benefits will be noticeable.
I've been looking around for recovery aids on here & other sites but there's no advice other than magnesium, water, electrolytes, & sleep. Those seem to only lightly ease the hangover & accelerate recovery.
I understand there are no quick fixes for stress put on the body & mind but is there really nothing else to assist rebuilding? Taking Omega-3s, vitamin B,D,E,K,A,C , zinc, calcium, probiotics/prebiotics, fibers, creatine, cacao, green tea/matcha, black,honey ginger, or peppermint teas, cinnamon, & turmeric won't noticeably easy the pain or accelerate recovery? L-tyrosine for dopamine, norepinephrine, & epinephrine recovery? Tryptophan or 5-HTP for serotonin recovery? St. John's Wart for both? Glutathione or other antioxidants & amino acids? Increased protein? L-theanine for calming &/or sleep when paired with melatonin?
Ik having all these nutrients beforehand & getting them from whole foods is better. Their presence will undoubtedly assist in recovery but shouldn't having a safe abundance increase recovery & decrease hangover effects?
Are there any compounds to avoid? Obviously, more hard drugs but should sugar, sodium, gluten, trans fat, refined carbs, and saturated fat be closely monitored or cut out entirely?
Is this to broad of a look? Would having different plans for stimulants, cathinones, opiates, benzos, dissociatives, cancannabinoids, narcotics, depressants, or even specific substances work better?
Do OTC drugs help with the hangover or aid in recovery? Are there hard drugs that might help with either, that won't greatly increase recovery time?
I have been doing pharmaceutical Percocet for a long time. For about two weeks I started doing dope. I’m not sure what was in it exactly but most likely fentanyl. I need to bridge the gap to Suboxone, but I can’t go the four days with nothing after taking F. My plan was to do real Percocet for a few days and then when the F was out of my system, take nothing for 24 hours and then take a sub. How many days do you think is safe to wait after the last time using the F? I’m 5 3’, 110 lbs female. Or if anyone has any other suggestions. Kratom? Or tramodol? Anything to help me get through those 3-4 days I think I need to wait. I don’t really have enough Percocet to be comfortable.
I'm 18 and I have ADHD. I have never consumed any form of drugs. The most euphoric activity I've preformed is jerking off. My question is, how would you compare the euphoria/dopamine release from jerking off to abusing substances such as cocaine/heroin/fentanyl and other powerful/intense drugs?
Final edit: I really appreciate everyone who has already reached out, but I'm still struggling, so if you want to reach out, feel free to do so, thank you all again
I'm unsure of whether or not this is allowed. The rules weren't clear, but I could do with someone reaching out and talking to me.
Remove if not allowed.
ETA: I posted because I'm struggling right now, not because I need a hookup, so please stop with recommendations. Thank you.
anytime I take xanax, I can consume the entirety of every ocean in water. SOOO thirsty. is this a normal thing?
I've been taking kratom (10g per day) and subutex which is buprenorphine without naloxone (8mg nasally over 3 days, last time yesterday) both of which are antagonists. Would I notice anything at all from taking 30mg of levomethadone today? (split up, of course) And if so, how many mg would I have to take? and what route of administration has the highest bioavailability? thanks in advance!
mean my main question is what would you say is sort of an equivalent dose, I understand phenibut affects gaba b mainly whereas diazepam affects gaba a. But anyone with experience can you give me a rough idea or guideline I saw many things online like 250-500mg is equal to 5-10mg of diazepam which is silly as if I took 50mg diazepam when I was on 5 gram a day I'd fall asleep cos of the strength. And then I had someone say 250mg to 1mg of diazepam.
So basically I came to the place where the knowledge might be any help is appreciated and I have a slight amount of pregablin just in case.
Thank you
Hi there, 2 days ago i finally received my acid tabs from the darknet and the vendor said they were 240ug. So the first day i took half a tab because it was my very first time doing acid. 2 hours go by, nothing happened, so i took the remaining tab plus 1. 1 hour go by and i'm feeling in a better mood, and that was about it. That day, i didn't really get what an acid trip really is. So the next day, i think i did something very stupid because i took 10 tabs at the same time, and then again waited 1 hour or so. Like the day before, i just felt some change in my mood, couldn't stop smiling lol but no real trip or visuals whatsoever. So i decided to give up on that acid. But later in the evening, i start to feel these repetitives light buzzes in my head, i don't know how to describe it but it's like you're normal and the next second you feel a quick buzz in your head.
But when I went to sleep, that's when the real shit began lol. I don't really remember everything but to make it short, i thought i was straight up being possessed by a demon or some shit like that, for reaaaaal. I was losing control at some point and my body moved by itself, it was really scary. I also felt some things that were never there like somebody sitting on me. I was dead ass scared and thought it was gonna last but it did stop at some point and i got some light sleep.
This morning i didn't experience any hallucination or loss of control but i still get the light buzz in my head from time to time.
What do you think happened to me guys??
Hi everyone, I’m thinking about trying a very small dose of street cocaine IV for the first time. I've used buprenorphine this way, so I know how to inject safely. This cocaine isn’t very pure, and it’s been in a rolling paper for about two months. I’d like to know:
If helpful, I can upload a picture of the product. Just looking to understand the risks and anything critical to know."
Picture :
I've been smoking weed since I was 17 (now 19), and I've always considered myself high-functioning stoner. I can ride out the high whilst being productive, and I managed to stay on-top of academics, exercise and social life and am in a pretty good university doing a degree I love, surrounded by people I love. FYI I smoke abit before bed everyday (bout .5g), and occassionally a wake-and-bake if I feel horrible in the morning.
For me at least, weed has helped loads with insomnia and mood swings, improved my social confidence and I do no other drugs other than smoke cigs/drink maybe once a month.
Can you stay on top of your life like this forever? I heard it affects brain development, but all in all I consider myself a lot more recovered mentally...
So I am with back pain for a few months now and went to the doc 2 weeks ago and they gave me tramadol on prescription to deal with the pain.
I don't want to take it on a daily basis and rather take the pain instead of pills. I took them 5 days in a row and stopped taking them because I do not want to get addicted. I've been a week off now and took some today to relief the pain.
So I want to ask people who got addicted to painkillers like tramadol, how long did you take it in order to get addicted?
How long could I take tramadol safely? How long should I stay off in order to break the process? (I know 1 week won't be enough, nor 2)...
Does that kind of thinking make any sense at all, does it work like that?
I am talking purely the physical addiction, I got my mind under control and know very well how much of a pleasure they can be. (looking at you oxy). So I know that's nothing I am chasing.
I lost friends to heroin and I know the dark side of this stuff and I don't want to get there....
I am literally struggling to get off nicotine, lol, I can't even imagine the struggle to deal with an addiction like opiods. I feel like I would be totally lost if they get me
Got some HHC oil and was a little skeptical due to a review saying it was very weak and they noticed little effect, but the other reviews were good. Dosed 3 drops (~10:30pm), held under my tongue for a while, then swallowed. I had eaten a bit over an hour befoe but didnt account too much and an hour later when it wasn't hitting I thought it was just really weak. There was something there so it wasn't inactive. So I thought no harm in doubling and then eventually tripping the dose or so. At like 1am it all kicked in and damn it was Euphoric. Just waves of it going throughout my body, completely unable to stop smiling.
This happened for like 20 mins, I was very stimulated, but not restless. It didn't relax tho and I was still very stimulated to the point of over stimulation and the next few hours were me getting stuck in these thought loops of social conspiracy, constantly breaking down what made culture and not liking an of the answers I was getting whilst feeling this uncomfortable stimulation. My whole body was shaking and twitching and I thought I had been dosed with synthetic cannabinoids and was now having a seizure. Every time I clicked a finger or some joint as I frequently do out of habit I thought I had broken or ruined that joint and by the end I thought that me being careless because of pain relief from the HHC I'd destroyed my body. I thought my panic was actually psychosis and that was psychosis, which scared me.
Eventually I just went under the covers and said either I'll have a seizure and either see or won't see what happened with that in the morning (or won't wake up) or I didn't haven't a seizure and will wake in the morning feeling better. Instead I wake still very high, sluggish and dipping into a world of my imagination every town I closed my eyes for too long. Went to bed pretty high still. Today I am stil a little out of it, but barely. So yeah HHC sometimes takes a while to come on lol, did not expect an almost 24 hour high from it.
Specifically stims (street amphetamines) These symptoms have been very apparent the past handful of years.
When the drug was manufactured by a source who did not cut it there regular side effects are present. but the horrid tripping is not.
I think our poisons have been poisoned more than before but we fail to give it a second thought for many reasons (reasons could be other substances)
It’s getting out of control with me but I realize the fix is to quit it all because it wasn’t this bad around 2020
