If you haven't had it, don't post about it.
I don't know what dose but CBG isolate smoked & ingested is interesting. The adrenergic effects are worthwhile.Phytocannabinoids are definitely hallucinogenic for me. THC, CBN, and CBG all give me a good quasi-psychedelic trip at around 40 mg taken orally.
That explains a lot tbh. Also CBD is known to have antipsychotic qualities so perhaps this is relevant?Uhhh. I wouldn't even really call it psychoactive.
Cannabidiol...has emerged as a potential novel class of antipsychotic with a unique mechanism of action.

Based on these findings, we propose that CBD acts as a negative allosteric modulator of 5-HT2A.

The presence of THC would inevitably be the #1 rationalisation for why CBD produces hallucinogenic effects; and if that doesnt stick then I bet the concept of gastic acid-induced CBD isomerisation would be used... anything that provides a rational explanation which supports the underlying presupposition (that CBD is non-hallucinogenic). Or in the case of Didgital, that CBD is non-psychoactive. Mind you he also believes terpenoids are inactive so... (based on his posts I'm not too surprised that he finds many things non-psychoactive). The issue is that he assumes items are universally non-psychoactive, when it's just him.I'd be curious to which extent aforementioned contamination with THC can be ruled out.

Actually —putting aside your pseudo-schizophrenic perceptual tendencies— I was primarily looking at xdrc's posts in various threads. My subsequent responses correlate accordingly, whether to xdrc or others. You happen to be involved.Really interesting that you feel the need to comment on all my posts since the bullshit LSI thread was locked.
I'm curious if you've a history of SSRI medications or other S×RI perhaps? As CBD is a documented antipsychotic then perhaps this explains your reaction?Yeah i wouldnt know anything about cannabinoids or CBD. Ive only isolated about 30,000kg at this point. I used to dab 100mg at a time. Mildly psychoactive at best.
As I told you the first time when you offered some isoborneol – I've already got a broad assortment of terpenoid isolates and near pure isolates. The multinational agreed to sell me below their MOQ of valencene which was great.Again i said id be happy to send you some isoborneol for free if you wanted to dab pure terpene.
If we're talking about ingesting gram-quantities of CBD to reach effects, yes, THC contamination and even cyclisation must be eliminated as a possibility. We have credible reports of people saying it is not active and reports of people saying it is active. The sane thing to do is taking control of the parameters which may differentiate the two outcomes, if it is contamination, trace metabolites, different metabolic pathways, synergies, etc. I don't know what your issue is with that.The presence of THC would inevitably be the #1 rationalisation for why CBD produces hallucinogenic effects; and if that doesnt stick then I bet the concept of gastic acid-induced CBD isomerisation would be used... anything that provides a rational explanation which supports the underlying presupposition (that CBD is non-hallucinogenic
I've also taken grams orally, and I've also dabbed grams of it before. These samples all had CoAs from state approved and licensed laboratories/dispensaries back in Maine, and the experience of crossing maybe 1.5-2g dabbed and 2.5-3g orally felt blatantly empathogenic. Taking my shirt off to slink across the shag carpet type empathogenic. Maybe there was contamination that wasn't noticed in the lab, but I'd be surprised. Maybe some people just respond to it in different ways? I'm not sure but I have often wondered about why this variation seems to occur, we got the effect reproducible in others and noted BP/heart rate changes too, and a mild fever iirc? I need to find that old notebook with the measurements in it from ~5 years ago to actually pull data on it.I've taken grams orally and dabbed 100mg crystals (tastes like cherries if you haven't)
Genuine question for you as well as Didgital (not trying to stoke any further conflict or whatever) but I recall that dihydroxybenzonorbornane was what Shulgin used for 2C-G-5, if I'm remembering correctly. He also mentioned that a similar compound could've been used for a hypothetical psychedelic he referred to as 2C-G-6 in the extensions and commentary section of the 2C-G-5 article. He specified that he believed the dihydroxybenzonorbornane to have been an adduct of a couple things. Without going much further into chemistry talk here, I want to broadly ask the question: Do you guys suspect that in a similar way to how there is a virtually infinite array of possible 2C-T-X compounds, do you also suspect that there is perhaps a plethora of 2C-G-X compounds that may some day be explored?As I told you the first time when you offered some isoborneol – I've already got a broad assortment of terpenoid isolates and near pure isolates.

Cyclization? Is the idea that CBD may cyclize either while in storage or metabolically perhaps? I'd love to learn more about this, especially if we could get Abn-CBD to cyclize and maybe hit the "CB3/CB4/CB5" receptors (formerly I referred to them as GPR55, GPR119 and GPR18 but they truly do appear to be just cannabinoid receptors, as far as I can tell so far).If we're talking about ingesting gram-quantities of CBD to reach effects, yes, THC contamination and even cyclisation must be eliminated as a possibility. We have credible reports of people saying it is not active and reports of people saying it is active.

Not in storage afaik, but people tend to use anything from acetic & citric to phosphoric, S & H. In the in-vivo context, possibly by combining cbd isolate with betaine hcl?Is the idea that CBD may cyclize either while in storage or metabolically perhaps?
Betaine HCl is the hydrochloride salt of betaine...
...betaine HCl readily releases H+ in an aqueous environment (approximately 0.65 mmol/100 mg).
...
Betaine hydrochloride is a natural substance typically used as a dietary supplement to enhance stomach acid levels (source)
Nevertheless, it is certain that CBD degrades to psychotropic products in acidic environments. Hence, the storage stability of commercial formulations requires more attention in the future.
Most likely.Do you guys suspect that in a similar way to how there is a virtually infinite array of possible 2C-T-X compounds, do you also suspect that there is perhaps a plethora of 2C-G-X compounds that may some day be explored?
I know that translating it from German to English can be a hassle, but also things like Trachsel's 2C's (2C-V, 2C-YN, etc.) and their 4C/DO/N-benzylated derivatives are quite exciting to read about! I hope at some point they become more accessible, thankfully their synthetic routes aren't that bad. Also a little bit of a tangent but TGF-8027 ( https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.jmedchem.5c01855 ) is quite interesting and shows a useful substitution site on N-benzylated phenethylamines that I was completely unaware of. I'm not sure what the position would be called (alpha-prime? The one to the right of the nitrogen where TGF-8027 added the extra methyl to 25CN-NBOH) but I wonder what other substitutions could be useful there.I've been exploring the 2C SAR recently but reading your post I apparently overlooked the 2C-G-× style(!)
I'll look at Trachsel's stuff thanks for the pointer. I've been exploring the more (so-called) basic SAR involving eg aminotetralins amongst other things. All the papers are from the 80s and 90s...I know that translating it from German to English can be a hassle, but also things like Trachsel's 2C's (2C-V, 2C-YN, etc.) and their 4C/DO/N-benzylated derivatives are quite exciting to read about!
That reminds me of this LSD analog #11 with the same or greater potency as LSD....N-benzylated phenethylamines...but I wonder what other substitutions could be useful there.
Fascinating paper once more! We should get together some time and just exchange .zip archives of the papers we've been accumulating. I'm sure there's bound to be quite a bit of overlap, but nothing a little command I could whip up in bash couldn't solve to eliminate redundant files. DM me if you're interested in doing this!I'll look at Trachsel's stuff thanks for the pointer. I've been exploring the more (so-called) basic SAR involving eg aminotetralins amongst other things.
