The Search for the Perfect Daily Drug - Valerian Root

@cdin I'm very interested in this.
I suffer a lot from the PAWS from GABA A and B agonists mainly benzodiazepines, and GBL.
I would like to try muscimol.
Can you give me more information about this?
How do you extract it from the mushrooms and what dosages are effective?

That’s kind of a broader topic than a post reply can manage. If you search muscimol I answer some of these questions on the site - also there are many fantastic amanita groups on Facebook that have most of the pertinent info pinned. I don’t wanna hijack this thread w reams of Nita info also important to note - benzos are not gaba agonists - they are positive allosteric modulators PAMs. Small but highly relevant to your inquiries
 
Have "researched" valerian root and found it had properties ... just not enough (as I was on some heavy stuff then) but today I may get to "notice" the effects more.
Placebo...? Doubt it. I feel roots are needed. Just my opinion.
When I say roots i include all vegetation fwiw.
Be safe and happy whatever day this is.
Peace

Phone ...... smash it?

so i'm back here on this thread because its the first result when i type "valerian" into the search.
thing is, i have a good amount of valerian root. now i want to make the most out of it, as "brewing a cup" like you would do with herbs is not how this works.

i found a lot of different recipes for this, going from just pouring boiling water onto 2 spoons of roots per cup to actually brewing a reduction of a larger amount, to making extract from that same brew.

i don't want to set up a chemisrty lab in my kitchen.all i want is to have something to substitute at least some of the clona i take.
 
Before I came to bluelight I would never have considered caffeine a drug of any sort, daily or not.
@neversickanymore Would you say caffeine can serve as a legal replacement for less obtainable stimulants? Not to get high, but to regulate your overall well being and function?
 
What's the current view.. are active Valerian substances ethyl alcohol soluble. Obviously people attempting to obtain a substance avoidance recovery would refrain from an alcohol based tincture. This is something I played around with 20 some years back so id love to hear where its at now?

idk, but think about it.. caffeine is consumed successfully by many of our most high functioning and also vital workers.. for sure its got a couple drawbacks and yes their are very high functioning people that don't use this substance.. but what does a main stream picture look like?
 
It's not about mainstream consuming. It's about individuals needing something to counteract certain symptoms. And the alternatives to prescription meds.

Many people who use drugs hope to find a "daily" drug - a drug that is safe for them to use daily and produces something of a high.

Nominations for this sometimes include things like wine, caffeine and marijuana.

This post is to mention one of my favorites, as @emkee_reinvented has alluded to in another post Valerian Root tea. It is a good tea with anti-anxiety potential.

The drawbacks are that it's not quite safe for long term daily use as it can agitate the liver. Also, it tastes funny.

On the other hand, it's cheap and it has quite a kick. It's tough to OD on herbal tea!

Some people have the opposite effect from valerian, usually what we call "heat type" people. If you tend to be hot at room temp while everyone else is fine, valerian would not be a great sedative for you.

Also it tastes like dirty socks.
