Overrated and underrated drugs

Overrated: Lean (sizzurp, drank). Just snuffing pills is better in every way.

Underrated: Diphenhydramine by far!!

Even many people who like OTC's (such as DXM) don't even know the recreational value of Benadryl. Then the ones who do usually think it's either a hardcore, dysphoric trip; or nothing at all. When in reality, it's the most versatile drug I've ever used.

I seriously think it should be measured in plateau's, like DXM is.
 
overrated: cocaine, alcohol, xtc pills (not mdma by itself, the pills), weed, benzos
underrated: i could say a few research chemicals, but the truth is i can't say they're being underrated seeing as nobody knows what the long-term usage effects might be so they could actually be dangerous.
 
Overrated:
Cocaine: Best shit I've had still took me 1/4g line to feel anything remotely euphoric; maybe it's because I did meth before I ever did a decent amount of cocaine, but I've never gotten much from this stuff.
Alcohol: need I say more?
Benzos: not really much of a high before getting to the point you're falling over every step you take/pass the fuck out/black the fuck out and go on a violent stealing/spending spree in which you smoke all your cigarettes and weed, spend all your money on fast food, rob walmart so hard that all that's left is the wal, and/or get into a fight with your dad which makes you feel like shit for the entire next year.
Weed: OMG, I KNOW! TIE ME UP AND THROW STONES AT ME! While it doesn't have many medical uses and doesn't have many adverse effects, NOT EVERYONE NEEDS THEIR OWN RX FOR IT! QUIT TELLING YOURSELF THAT! Marijuana makes me anxious now; it makes me paranoid; it makes me stupidly high anytime I smoke now; and it makes my muscular pain increase-weird, I know. It's just not the greatest drug in the world as it's viewed by every 15/16 year old who thinks their a bad ass for smoking it lmao.
Ecstasy: Yes, this is a bad ass drug, but it doesn't live up to the hype associated with it's name. It's a pretty dirty feeling high if you ask me-albeit it doesn't have the empathic effects, speed is much cleaner feeling; especially when it comes to the pressed pills you get. Molly is amazing, but it still has that dirty feel to it.

Underrated:
Dextromethorphan HBr: Yes, you do end up drinking cough syrup to trip out, but so do people trying to get their codeine high lmao. I haven't messed with it in near these doses in ages, but you take more than 480mg and it makes you trip the FUCK out.
LSD: Beloved by most, but it still doesn't get a good enough rep. There's no way in hell this drug could ever be correctly rated it's so good lmfao.
Psilocybin: I've NEVER had a bad trip on shrooms-EVER. I don't understand how people have bad trips on this (unless they just eat WAY too many-keep it around 1/4 zip (7g) or less at a time people lol). By far the happiest trips I've ever had-oh how I miss you.
Methamphetamines: Meth has a REALLY bad reputation for being the devil. No, you're not gonna become a meth head first time you try it; No, you're teeth aren't gonna fall out the first time you try it; and No, the comedown isn't as bad as people say it is as long as you keep eating and get the amount of sleep you need. That being said, it is highly addictive and caution should be made when doing this drug.
Tobacco: The reason I say this one is underrated is because (in America at least) all you hear is how bad it is for you, and how their a waste of money. I smoke cigarettes because I'm constantly stressed and anxious. This has been the one thing I could count on to put me in a better mood (even if only by slightly) when nothing else could. They're my fix-all. Granted I'll become stressed out when I don't have them because I'm addicted to them, they still help when times are down and I can always count on them to calm me down lmfao. (and I don't really give a shit about the "high" newbs get from them; I use them solely as a non-narcotic anxiolytic lol)

These are all the ones I could think of atm.
 
I am going to add to my last that I posted back in February.

Overrated: Morphine. People mention it and automatically think it is the most intense opiate due to its use during operations, as well as the massive amount of addictions from soldiers. It is possibly the least euphoric opiate for me.

Underrated: Methadone and Suboxone. These potent long-acting opiates are possibly the best value for your dollar. They will keep you from being sick for a lot longer than the amount of another opiate you would get for the same price. I really don't get how some heroin addicts will sell an amount of methadone that would keep them from being sick for a week, so that they could get enough heroin to get the high for a few hours, and keep the withdrawals away for a few more hours after that.

I also think that adderall (d-amp/amp) is underrated. I think that people think that meth is the end-all be-all of stimulants, and don't give prescription amps the credit they deserve.

this man speaks the truth. adderall, suboxone, and methadone are all powerful psychoactive substances which i enjoy :D
 
Great thread, lots of good opinions.

Overrated:
Tobacco
Alcohol
Cocaine
Pharmaceuticals

Underrated:
Research Chemicals
Marijuana Products: Good edibles, tinctures, hashish
 
Overrated: aMT and Cannabis. aMT just a glorified piperazine high and cannabis although I love the taste, the high is depressing to me.

Underrated: Alcohol. Among drug boards anyway. Love to unwind with a beer after work. I find it can have different effects depending on mood, lets thoughts flow more easily. It can make you introspective like cannabis but in a positive way as long as you don't over do it. It relaxes you. Can make you want to party or can help to sleep.

Overrated - alcohol

goddamn I do not understand the "fun" in getting blackout-punch-eachother-and-puke drunk on a regular basis, let alone once.

Though I dated two alcoholics so I might be bitter.
 
You can get drunk without getting blackout drunk, charcoal. :)

Overrated:
Cocaine
The 2c family
Methamphet / amphet
Benzos
The JWH / CP synthetic cannaboids

Underrated:
Pregabalin
PCP analogues
 
Overrated:
- Xanax, specifically Xanax. People need to stop abusing Xanax or else people with anxiety will ONLY be able to get shitty ssris that make your brain feel as though it were melting while simultaneously being plugged into an electric socket. Xanax is a wonderful anti-anxiety medication but it way overrated as a recreational downer.
- Shitty Alcohol - Natty, PBR, Everclear, most light domestic beers; High quality alcohol is correctly rated in my opinion.

Underrated:
- Hydrocodone - I've had way better highs from hydro than any other pharmaceutical opioid. Don't know why but hydrocodone just rubs me the right way. It's overshadowed by Oxy, but Hydro deserves way more credit.
- Valium, my DOC. Hit the market in 1963, still used for many things today. Best feeling benzo, most helpful benzo for me personally.
- Seroquel - Yes, I'll say it, Seroquel. Way underrated because if you ever just need a break from life (one of the reasons for taking any drug, right?), you can take Seroquel. I took 100mg a little bit ago and I'm about to go to sleep despite the fact that I was wide awake ten minutes ago.
 
I know that something similar to this following statement has been said earlier, but I have to say it again in my own version...

I truly can't believe the ammount of people that say cocaine is overrated. I fucking adore cocaine. I've had terrible blow, and blow that would blow your freaking mind. Luckily, I've found a hookup that is very close to the 'blow your freaking mind' category. In respect of the rules, I can't quote prices on here, and I'm not sure if it's appropriate to say an amount, but a teen (1.75g) will last me like 4 sessions of usage (a session of usage for me being an evening of partying, like 8-10 or more hours). It's so good, you barely need any to sustain a high. Get a few people together doing it, and you'll have one HELL of a party. Constant euphoria, chatter, thirst, and chain smoking :) Love it.
 
Ice>Coke lol...

edit: stonger, longer lasting high vs. snorting shit ALL night long, every hour or so...
 
i don't understand how methamphetamine could EVER be overrated, must have gotten bad shit

OVERRATED- COCAINE, crack, smoking heroin off of foil, mushrooms
UNDERRATED- Marijuana, good quality MDMA, MDPV, Mephedrone
 
Overrated:
Alcohol. Compared to most drugs, it's quite unhealthy. It makes you dizzy, uncoordinated, obnoxious, and dumb. The social damage alcohol causes is terrible. I've had enjoyable times on alcohol before, but every time would have been better with a different drug.
Oxycodone. Sure, I feel good on it, but nowhere near as good as opioid users tell me I should feel. If I want to just chill out, I don't need drugs for that. Maybe I just prefer a different sort of euphoria.

Underrated:
Kratom. I know this might sound weird, given my criticism of oxycodone, but I really enjoy kratom. I feel relaxed and energized, and love to socialize or engage in physical activity. Many people criticize it, but I think that's more so because they aren't attuned to the effects. Dosing and nausea also suck, but that can be an effective anti-habituation mechanism.

That IS very strange, a low dose of oxycodone should feel similar to kratom, especially to someone without much experience with either. I've found when sharing oxy with people who hadn't ever really done it before that 75% of the time it went one of two ways, depending on dose, they complain that they don't feel it or they get sick. And 25% of the time it works well. Snorting it always made them notice it more but also made them sick more often even with low doses, and depending on their own temperment that would either kill it for them or they would quickly recover. I don't think oxy is THAT great even though it is mostly what I use, but it works well, is easy to use, offers some rush, and is widely available. But even if you have a high natural tolerance, without having a habit, with the right dose you should either be glowing in bliss or throwing up and not enjoying it. Even if you don't get euphoria from it you shouldn't be coampletely immune to the effects. I'd say try eating some on an empty stomach then 30 minutes in snort some(if you are getting roxies), and if you aren't where you want to be wait an hour and eat some more. I don't often snort mine anymore because it is kind of wasting them, but if you are non-tolerant it is worth it, plus it is easier to titrate your dosage, no wondering if you have peaked yet.

If you aren't getting roxies and are getting percs then do a CWE, even if you are getting a low tylenol formulation I still say do a CWE it hits you so much better.

The opiate high has levels.
 
I really don't see it get overrated by ANYONE really lmao...in fact...a bunch of what I hear is "ew, that stuff is nasty. it makes your teeth fall out and you look like a vampire."
 
^^if you do it like everday lol. When i was living in Phoenix AZ i swear the shit felt like pure MDMA with a clear head for like 12 hours plus. BUT, then i moved to OREGON, and the shit here is fucking HORRIBLE. I swear it has so much to do with the quality it can vary so widely.

@Feste- you are totally right bro. If someone doesn't like stimulants, they won't like meth for sure. But if you are looking for a STIMULANT and you find GOOD QUALITY speed, it can't be overrated.
