Right?! Some of the RC stimulants can certainly mirror “substance D” as far as the hallucinations and paranoia go. I can certainly remember a time or two I resembled Charles Freck! Especially with A-pvp and the like. Even meth psychosis could fit the bill and certainly with the added effects of opiates in a “speedball” scenario I have definitely heard people say “there are no weekend warriors on black tar heroin” that may have just been something people around my hometown say but atleast in the scene surrounding my hometown that’s a very true statement nonetheless.
You're right. The end with the government secretly harvesting the flowers used to make substance D made me think of the US government fueling the opiate epidemic. After all, they didn't send around 15,000 troops to Afghanistan in the mid 2010's for nothing, followed by declared "opiate epidemic" a couple of years later. In turn, the government makes bank, big pharma makes bank, doctors make bank and treatment centers make bank. They all fuel it, us addicts pay for it.
Freck definitely nailed the effects of meth psychosis. I've seen people go through it. It's sad. There were some scenes when they were high on it that mimicked meth and one scene that possibly mimicked mdma (the scene when Robert Arctor was getting high with Donna and she displayed her agoraphobia/fear of being touched).
I never tried ketamine. It's a dissociative, right? I don't do well on dissociatives. I wig out. Haha.
It's hard to wig out when you're in a metaphorical hole in the ground and can't move nor think sad thoughts lol
Right! I’ve convinced myself I turned into a statue before.. lmao watching the world from my emotionless and motion free perch.. it was amazing.. god I miss dissociative’s.. I always figured dxm would be involved in my death somehow.. it was cheap and everywhere and I loved it so much..
Good point. You said it better.
Interesting take. I didn't know all that.
I didn't know you could inject LSD.
