OTC Drugs to get High

Sounds made up.
We were fucking with it 20 years ago. Don't remember Tik Tok. You're not wrong though about how silly it is. :)
There was also the NyQuil chicken challenge were people, well, cooked chicken in NyQuil. Think it was intended to be a joke but some took it seriously and ended up in the hospital or worse cause NyQuil contains paracetamol.

Oh, I believe the challenges exist.....I meant that the specific Tik Tok challenge wasn't the first diphenhydramine fad.

Cooking with paracetamol sounds especially special. I mean, something cooked in NyQuil doesn't sound appealing even if one were looking for a challenge. An equally stupid challenge might be to eat raw chicken that's been sat out in the sun for an hour or two.

Kids these days.... ;)
 
Sorry, I am not renaming the post, the very first sentence is "Hello Everyone I am studying OTC drugs, as well as other things used to get high." That indicates it is not all about over the counter, sorry your so upset, but if you were interested in harm prevention maybe not label them as "dumb kids do stupid things with ridiculous drugs," or "add to this stupid list," that would probably make a first time or curious user not wanting to post a question because of people like you who throws out insults. If you are truly about harm prevention try not responding to peoples posts, you do not seem supportive or tolerant to other peoples questions." You seem to be the only one upset about the name of the post.
I'm not upset, I am saying that this is irresponsible. Bluelight is a harm reduction forum and OTCs are distinct from a majority of what you put in your post. It is misleading and could lead to actual harm which contradicts the whole purpose of harm reduction resources.

Its not even the name in itself, even though that is a part of the problem. It is the lack of understanding about categorising drugs and paying attention to harm reduction when doing so. I'm not sure why you are having trouble understanding this.

I apologize all of that came off so hostile. We understand you're new and I also recognize that I may have jumped the gun in judging the character of your thread.

It comes from years of doing this. We becme a little jaded to the threads we see over and over again. We tell people to use the search engine first, but it's not a big deal.

You're trying to do the right thin for HR so we can do our best to help you. Let me write back more we I get home.

Hello Everyone I am studying OTC drugs, as well as other things used to get high and was looking for feedback from people who have use any of the following substances, their use, side effects, and dosage. Also if they are being used in combination with methadone or buprenorphine. Also any substances I might have missed.
Roach Spray
Tianeptine "Gas Station Heroin"
Phenibut
Kava
Salvia
Benadryl (Diphenhydramine)
Benzedrex (propylhexedrine)
Inhalers with levmetafetamine
DXM (Dextromethorphan) poor man's PCP
PEA
Imodium (Loperamide) "Poor man's Methadone
Etizolam and designer benzos flualprazolam, clonazolam, flubromazolam, and diclazepam "Poor man's Xanax"
Kratom
Synthetic marijuana K2/Spice

Prescriptions that are abused
Neurontin (Gabapentin)
Wellbutrin (Bupropion) "Poor man's cocaine"
I was goin to push the same point pharoah did; it is not pedantic as I do believe you now understand. Just about any pill that has 'may cause drowsiness' sticker will be abused or attempted to by medicine cabinent cowboys..

I have a bit of a problem with alot of your aka " " words. Example; designer benzos are far preferable to scripted benzos.


Harm reduction hmm; make sure ppl know to get pure dxm which is available all over legally OTC or clearnet at worst.

I think synthetic cannibinoids are all completely black market at this point?

additional things:
Valerian root. (myth of valium high)
nutmeg
poppers (amyl nitrite) sold at a non porno bookstore locally lol
WHIPITS FFS, BP sells the cracker and "whipit" brand nitrous oxide
LSA (google it no synth info here)
Computer duster

wellbutrin is in no way poor mans cocaine nore is lope poor mans methadone. Don't look for a high there. Let me look at your list for harm reduction and pick the things I would consider doing on a desperate day.....


List of Smokey's on a real desperate day maybe list:
Kratom (IS AN ADDICTIVE OPI AND SHOULD BE TREATED AS SUCH)
Salvia
DXM (again make sure it is just dex active)
Poppers (Read up)
no2/whipits (read up can be dangerous)
LSA (read up alot)
phenibut
MAYBE benzedrex inhaler but not injesting the cotton

THE REST OF THEM ARE A HARD PASS, well if you can get designer benzos otc more power to you but it is just if not harder to get them than heroin online so not as easy as you may imagine. Plus the risk of serious charges.

This issue is better solved with a blanket statement.

In North America and Europe, there are few options regarding "OTC" drugs that would satisfy a user of actual "Hard Drugs". For some time, there was still availability of Codeine-containing medications, though even these are now much rarer than they would have been even 10 years ago. Mind you that even this availability of Codeine isn't something that could easily make an Opioid-dependent individual satisfied.

If we look at the totality of available options, you will eventually find yourself looking at Dextromethorphan/DXM (Robotussin; Nyquil). Keep in mind, "Nyquil" is a combination product that also contains Diphenhydramine (Benadryl) and Acetaminopen (Tylenol) among other substances depending upon where you're located and your local laws. Dextromethorphan is also available as a standalone product. It's important to note though, when most people talk about "getting high on Nyquil" they're mostly referring to the effects of DXM. Again, to most drug users, DXM is not something they're going to seek out.

Dextromethorphan is one half of the chiral compound Methorphan/Racemethorphan. The left-hand isomer of this compound is of course, Levomethorphan, itself being a relatively potent Opioid agonist on par with your Morphine(s) and similar. When only the right-hand isomer is used, the drug acts primarily as an antitussive. The right-hand isomer produces effects that often leave it defined as a dissociative anesthetic. The aforementioned dissociative anesthetics include drugs like Ketamine and PCP (Pencyclidine). Most people will tell you that the addictive/recreational/compulsive aspects of DXM leave it significantly less-desired than these other DA's.

Next I think it's important to cover the sedating-antihistamines. These include arguably the most-common, Diphenhydramine (Benadryl) and others like Doxylamine (Unisom) and also Hydroxyzine (Vistaril). The latter is somewhat inexplicably a prescription-only medication. These are all just horses of varying colors though, much like Opioids or Benzodiazepines or what have you, they possess somewhat different effects though they are essentially substitutable.

Many of you reading might be familiar with things like:

"Benadryl Tik Tok Challenge"

This is the sort of phenomenon that you'll find High-School-aged kids getting caught up in. See, Benadryl is something that a lot of folks are going to have kicking around their family medicine box/cabinet. 10 years ago, this would've been Dextromethorphan. The hysteria regarding DXM abuse means that even your average housewife is going to be aware of the addictive nature of the drug. Not everyone is aware of the fact that Diphenhydramine is mind-altering.

99% of people who have abused high dosages of sedating-antihistamines will tell you they regret the decision. It is never a "great time" and it has never been anyone's drug of choice. If you comb the backrooms of the world of drug use, you will find people whose DOC is Dextromethorphan, though it's important to note that I believe many of these people only use DXM as it's what is available to them. Maybe they don't have the social skills needed to find drug dealers.

Next, I think another important point is to talk about people who are incarcerated. A lot of these folks use drugs on the outside obviously. When they get inside, you will often see people engaging in substance-use that they would never engage in on the outside. You hear stories about people smoking Banana Peels, insufflating Tylenol (to trick themselves into thinking they're sniffing drugs, like how injection users will inject water) etc. It's a good way of understanding how people change their behavior when they are backed into a corner. They become more willing to engage in these other things.

This is a good primer. Le me know if you have any questions. We can keep the discussion going.
 
Went to a pharmacy earlier today and I can report that pseudoephedrine as an easy hit is gone. Everything with pseudoephedrine in it also contained paracetamol, sometimes at pretty high doses. So, unless you want to fuck with your liver.....

I really am living in the past.
 
DXM is legit a good drug. I used to be able to get it in powder form. It's very unfortunate that most people have to consume absurd amounts of vile tasting syrup to get high from it.
 
I recently took a 60mg ER dex tab along with my Wellbutrin and hated it, couldnt wait for it to wear off. laid on my couch with my eyes closed for 16hrs before it wore off. I was trying to copy the antidepressant drug Auvelity. Usually I take Wellbutrin and wonder if its even working since I dont feel anything, the dex made me feel drugged. I only take Wellbutrin as prescribed, 150mg XL daily.
 
You can absolutely get dxm without tylenol OTC. I remember my grandma had like dxm breathstrips almost. 10 or 15 mg a strip I forget....but they exist, if not locally; no further than a amazon search. i dont know why I felt the need to make this point.

I guess so people abusing tussin for dxm understand they could easily be harming there bodies less and getting better effects with LITTLE TO NO effort.

New Bluelighter here. I have experience with a few of these. Few were any good but Kava has always been a positive experience for me with few risks that I still do from time to time. Hope this helps.

Kava- Feels a lot like Xanax but has a good social buzz as well. Unlike Xanax it carries far less risks and side effects and is an overall good time if you know how to handle yourself and practice moderation. Very fun with friends, many complain about the taste but I actually don't mind it. To anyone looking for a substitute for Xan's or alcohol I would give it a try.

Benadryl- Great choice if you want to watch spiders crawl across your wall. Absolutely terrible feeling when abused. Like being in a horror movie. Do not do this under any circumstance. I did this some in middle school and always had a terrible time.

Benzedrex- Put me in the hospital and then the mental ward. Very strong stimulant that had me up for days until I was hallucinating and lost my grip on reality. Felt very similar to amphetamines. The comedown is one of the most terrible feelings I have ever experienced. Also gave me a stomach ulcer causing me to throw up anything I ate for two weeks. Got a very tight, constricting feeling in my veins while using. Was known throughout the facility I stayed in as the guy who ate cotton out of a fucking nasal decongestant to catch a buzz and then his my mind. Very bad time.

DXM- This is a mixed bag. On one hand I would be lying if I said you cannot have fun on DXM but it makes you feel like shit. This is something best done with lots of precaution because most DXM products have other things in them that could seriously harm you. The effect varies pretty drastically depending on the dosage or "plateau". Lower levels can feel like alcohol or even molly in some cases, while higher levels can have psychedelic effects. Does not sit well in your stomach. Overall a pretty interesting and unpredictable substance.

Kratom- Had a brief stint with this stuff. People use it to get off opiates because the effects are so similar. Depending on what kind you get it can have sedative or stimulant effects. Red Kratom is the closest you will get to actual painkillers so the euphoria and relaxation is pretty strong. Kratom is actually pretty damn addictive on its own though and I have heard terrible things about it from other users. A substance I think people should take a little more seriously as far as risk goes but also a tool to quitting something that has ruined way more lives.

Wellbutrin- An absolute dead end of a drug. people only abuse it in the worst situations, prison and rehab being the most common. I snorted this a lot and got very mild stimulant effects but it is a very risky thing to do because you are very likely to get a seizure. Somehow, throughout my usage i never got one but most people who do it long enough will not have my luck. Also gets significantly more strong when mixed with alcohol which in turn makes it more dangerous. Poverty drug used by people in desperate situations.

This was long winded but I hope you can take something useful out of this. I have been a long time user of many things but if i had to give drugs a review, it would be negative.

Many of those I haven't heard of and some aren't OTC either (RC benzos for example)....

This guy responded 3 times, throwing a hissy fit over the name of the thread. This is why you don't mix Meth and Autism. Get over it dude, you're making a mountain out of a mole hill.
 
@DsMcooked
Roach spray is not a drug !

So that leaves a few, but restricted to pharmacy s 1.
-Loperamide, not a drug more last resort for diarrhoea or Opioid WD-s.

Salvia/ Kratom are only OTC in Smartshops .
Cannabis technically besides medical use illegal.
But OTC in Coffeeshops, its tolerated. Not legal.

Btw the little threads inside Banana s peels.
Dried are like Roach spray not psychoactive.

I take issue with DXM being called the poor man PCP. Not because of the price, I got it( the fake Robitussin with DXM) at the dollar store. But because in my two miserable experiences I had with it( I tend not to learn my lesson the first time) but because I didn't end up naked, fighting 6 -10 cops and didn't end up in up in a psych ward or on YouTube or on the TV show Cops.

Gabapentin ( which I have a prescription for)will really fuck you up if you use/misuse it with a number of other drugs.( some of which I also have a prescription for). However I don't misuse it, anymore. ( almost a guaranteed blackout, for me anyways).

LMAO, I know exactly what you mean; he is awful to deal with. A total stalker type, if you dare offend him.

Back in early part of the 90's, in high school, I first came across the banana peel bs; when a friend of mine let me borrow, The Anarchists Cookbook to read in studyhall. Anyways some buttwipe Narc'd on me, and I ended up in the principals office.

He didn't ask me for it or try to search my backpack. He just wanted to make sure I wasn't going to build pipe bombs, make drugs, or homemade guns ect...lol

Nowadays, they would have called in the SWAT team, expelled me or worse.
I wouldn't, if I had been asked or threatened givin' up my friends name, which I wasn't and was sent on my way.
Which gave me enough time to go outside and have a cigarette( I am joking about the cigarette part, because back then I used smokeless tobacco, Kodiak( aka: chew, dip, chewing tobacco; depending on where you live) in class. Although Copenhagen and Skoal were more popular at this redneck high school).


[ True story] Sorry, I couldn't resist Mr. Krinkle.
