Excess Reserves | [Used as Safety Nets]
'
Subs' in Case I Relapse & 'Latuda' to Keep on My Personor My Trip Sitter's When I'm Tripping Just So I Know I Have it!]
NOTE: | Further Down I Discuss the Terms of My 18 Months of Sobriety. The way I view unacceptable drug use, for me personally, is that I adhere to a Philosophy that breaks Drugs apart into two categories |
NOTE ABOUT MY SOBRIETY: Please keep in mind that I consider taking Pleasure Drugs as being extremely detrimental towards maintaining my sobriety. Explorer Drugs, I believe, have real potential to help me strengthen that Sobriety; allowing me to mold it into something unbreakable. Therefore, I don't consider <Microdosing / Normal Dosing / Heroic Dosing> any Classic Psychedelic to be a Relapse.
Pleasure Drugs - [Def - Drugs taken primarily for pleasure. Also useful as a numbing agent for Psychological/Physical Distress. Ego Amplifier] Ex:
Explorer Drugs - [Def - Drugs taken in order to alter consciousness and perception. Used by those who truly want to explore the deepest parts of their mind and see things many never thought were possible. NOTE: They're a Double-Edged Sword - Good Experiences are Great and Terrifying Experiences Show You Unthinkable Terrors That You Never Could Have Imagined. Bad Trips can be eliminated or reduced via Set/Setting, Preparation, Eliminating Expectation, and Good Vibes (Preferably have an experienced trip sitter with you one who knows what they are doing!] [Ex:
A: Suboxone[8mg]
Excess Reserve: 100+ Films
Reason One: Being Someone Who Relapsed on Concentrated Liquid Kratom of All Things Last Time I Got Off Suboxone, I've Decided to Save Any and All Extras for After I'm Off Of Them. If I Relapse at Any Point in the Future, I'll be Able to Switch to the Sub Reserve.
Reason Two: If I Get Cut Off from Them Before I'm Done With My Taper I'll Have Enough to Finish it and Get Off of Them Successfully!
B: Suboxone [2mg]
Excess Reserve: [TBD - Just Switched to 2mg]
Reason One: The lower dose would prove to be a far more effective safety net, allowing me to switch to a much lower dose of Suboxone, making it easier to taper back off of it when I'm ready.
Reason Two: I've heard (And this goes against my sobriety but what can I say? I'm a sucker for research!) that once doses of Buprenorphine drop down to 2mg or lower, the Buprenorphine converts into a drug called Norbuprenorphine, which has a much stronger binding affinity at the mu-receptors. This means that 2mg excess reserve Suboxone could prove to be a useful pain medication should I ever get hurt badly enough to require pain management.
C: Latuda 80mg [Dose A], Latuda 60mg [Dose B], Latuda 40mg [Dose C]
Excess Reserve:
Reason One:
Reason Two: Saw a post on reddit discussing trip killers and one guy tested Latuda to end an LSD trip that he felt had been dragging on too long and said, and I quote "Latuda put the brakes on hard." This could prove quite useful for me as I can keep a couple near me just to have that feeling of security during my next trip. Just b/c I'm sober doesn't mean I'm never going to trip again.

Price to be paid*. All that pleasure a user of 'Pleasure Drugs' has absorbed comes back to bite them in the ass via homeostasis and all of that psychological and physical pain comes back in spades [I call it the 'Toll of Beautiful Sorrow'] and there are

Explorer Drugs' -
[Double-Edged Sword | [#ONE RULE - Set & Setting] | Approach with Optimism and Preparation | Don't Set Expectations | They Have the Potential to Show you what you Hate Most About Yourself, Allow to Observe it, Process it, Dispel it From Your Mind, and then Show you the Best Parts Yourself! | On the Flipside, Resistance Often Leads to Negative Experiences - Always Let Go! Have an Experienced Trip Sitter Who Can Help You Work Through it - Learn Meditative Breathing I've Heard it Helps! | Tripping is Like the Yin-Yang. On One Hand, You can Conquer Your Inner Demons and then Bask in the Holy Light that is Your Best Self, or you can Experience the Dark - Bad Trips are, in my opinion, different for everybody. What one may consider an awful and frightening trip, another may see it as a difficult experience. "Good & Bad Trips are in the Eye of the Beholder." It all Depends on What you Believe is Good & Bad.
[*Worst Aspect of Explorer Drugs* - *Terrifying Experience*] - Do Not EVER Underestimate the Power of these Drugs. I did once, when I didn't know anything about them, and tripped alone on an eighth of shrooms, it was the second trip I had and vs the first trip it felt like I had eaten 3X More.. First 30 Min of it (Climb to the Plateau) was what I would consider my only time having a truly 'Bad Trip', and that alone, despite the fact that it turned around and the trip was amazing, that 30 minutes of terror, made me vow to never take a high dose of mushrooms ever again.
