Which drugs do u think will be Extinctt soon I'm just curious on your opinions btw

Extinct from the RC clearnet from NL. finely found it.
Its not a blanket ban why ?
Its 3 groups that will be banned, Governement site:

-Phenethylamine s inc Cathinones/ BenzoFurans and all substitution s.
-Synthetic Cannabinoid s.
-Fentanyl-analogue s.

Other drug info site:

-Sustances related to 4-aminopiperidin ?
-" ............... ........... .." 2-fenylethylamine.
-Synthetic Cannabinoid s.

So i am technically missing Nitazene s, but it seem s:
Tryptamine s/ Lysergic s, Benzo s and Dissociative s.
Will not be banned.


Lets see at end of the month, how it will be implemented.
Before having a party !

I'm prescribed 30mg 4x a day of Oxycodone and it's very effective I love the stuff, maybe too much! I'm also prescribed 200mg 3x day of Pregabalin so you can imagine the level of pain relief I'm getting. I'm also on 45mg Mirtazapine which helps a lot for sleep. TBH I'm probably over-medicated lol.

Lucky lol. What type of 30s are they?

 

[evo4ever]

I don't get why They Went so Hard with the War on drugs. They made money from the war on drugs like a billion dollar profit. Literally had incentives for law enforcement to hit quotas. Prisoners =government contracts=money. They didn't change the healthcare system and kept it profit driven! Now my generation we're dealing with fentanyl

When the US concluded the war on drugs was won by drugs.
And ended it, we started our own. No lesson learned.
Us greatly legalised Weed, overhear its still illegal recreational use.
And medical not really taken serious, if your dr writes a prescription,
you pay the cost s not your expensive insurance. .

The situation created, weird, not a blanket ban, but a selective.
So is this the red carpet for criminal s maybe. If so, lots a money.
Spend on drugs will go underground.
But it will also enable certain RCs to be sold legal. Controlled.

While the other option would mean quality control, taxes.
Can be used for treatments for addiction. And keeping it in the open.
Not underground in criminal hands.

My favourite is Nitrazepam (Mogadon) 5mg
Taking two of those before a long flight has had me laughing out loud from sheer calmness and feeling great (Where I'd normally be feeling terrible). I'm not afraid of flying, but I hate everything about travelling on planes.

 

[Coffeeshroom]

For me benzos obviously but after some exp the last few months.

Certain concentrate like RSO or even 1:1 ratio of full spectrum thc/cbd products works for anxiety and in the Long run a safer why of controlling anxiety.

Then there is also microdosing of psychedelics that also help, or for me it did.

That’s also my favourite benzo. But I haven’t even seen one in about 8 years . I used to be able to get the 10s . Fuck I miss those things

Funnily enough, I've found that the beta blockers (bisopralol fumarate) I've been prescribed following an angioplasty several years ago, have 'cured' the extreme anxiety I have suffered from all of my life.

Yeah - for a while UK doctors were keen to move people from benzos to beta blockers. It's interesting that while often effective, a lot of people showed a 'preference' for benzos that may not be related to anxiety. The Muscle relaxant properties of benzos would be a legitimate reason, the psychoactive effects a somewhat less legitimate reason.

I've often told people that Etifoxine is widely used in Franch and is well respected as an excellent anxiolytic. But that is all it does - you feel nothing other than less anxiety. The lack of takeup does suggest people like benzos for other reasons.

Obviously for insomnia, benzos have limited utility. Almost anyone can go a few nights without sleep. Just once in my life and after not sleeping for a week I went to my doctor and was prescribed a Z-drug. I forget which one but the metallic taste in my mouth and the general feeling of not being with it put me off. I guess that was the design brief - a hypnotic nobody would take for 'fun'. Some people do, which astounds me.

The 10's were rare, only available outside of the EU and perhaps even US too? I got a hold of them over the course of a few months but when that door closed, I have never even seen a 10mg (before OR since) I do get the 5 mg version prescribed from a doctor currently, so I am more than happy about that arrangement!

The Government has just fallen, so this new Law.
Might take some time implementing, maybe not.

But yeah, the last decades they proved they are incompetent.
Having the time of my live, Politic s or The Muppetshow.
Hardly a difference, but Jim Hanson s doll s have humor.

Politician s not, prospect s for refugees might improve, hopefully.
No RC ban, and maybe a acceptable new government.

Not sure if this belongs here...mine is Valium. I started with Xanax in 2007 for severa anxiety, didn't like it it was far too sedating. Then we tried Ativan-dr. said not gonna work. Of course not you douche, took me from 2 MG Xanax to .5 mg Ativan. Then I got cut off. I Started getting it from a source until I couldn't afford 1200. a month. Then after some family tragedy I found a therapist. He FINALLY trusted me with Valium. Said he normally doesn't script it but thought it was warranted in my case-ANY signs of abuse and he'd cut me of. Well, I spent the next 8 years on Valium. It stopped my rage, it stopped my destruction of things in the house, etc. I found relief. My partner and I have always had a very rocky relationship so there were times I took far more Valium that I should have. I was allowed 15 mg, dr. preferred I did not go past 120 mg a month. At times I went quite a bit beyond that. For 8 years I was okay, the scripts were coming, I made great progress with the therapist on other issues. Then like an idiot I moved to Florida from MA. I went three years without Valium. Thought I could do it until things started happening down here and my partner has stage 4 lung cancer. I am bouncing off the f'kn walls, I went to see 7 different people down here. NOBODY will put me back on it. I heard myriad excuses but the best one being "It's a bad drug, after 1 month on it, you lose 5 IQ points" Well, gee..I must be an idiot by now. That's a new one, I never heard that excuse before. I CHOOSE to handle my baggage with Valium. Some people use sex as a vice, some gambling, some drink, some smoke. I am TIRED of the gatekeepers and as long as alcohol is available freely to just about anybody, so too should benzos. Same drug essentially. My question is, HOW on earth can I get back on Valium? I never used it daily but was happy it was there when I needed it. I am destroying this new house now because of it. Why can't I have the one thing I handled well for 8 years that helped me? Does anybody have any ideas on how the hell I can get it again? This is brutal and inhumane. Physical addiction (miraculous given sometimes how much I would take), never happened...psychological dependence, I freely admit to

 

[Itzmaher]

Valium , by far. I like Xanax, but the line between It hasn't kicked in yet let me take another vs waking up in jail is just so small lol. I can take Valium and just chill out and enjoy it.

It was different in NL drug users are not actively prosecuted.
They are tolerated, they aim at getting the distributor s of illegal Opioid s.

A addict, if willing to do some concession s concerning the way of use.
Can choose for Pharmaceutical Heroine 3 x a day, taken on site.
Besides the Methadon program, both are covered by Healthcare.
So free of charge.

And praying Fentanyl a.o. will not enter the drugscene here like in US.
Or that we make it and export it, while our Junk s afaik still got real Heroine.
On the illegal market. But i don t use so might be outdated info and Fent,
already infiltrated the Dutch drug system.

Hey guys. I hate to have to do this to you. This thread's objective is not really in line with what we like to handle here in the Harm Reduction forums. These are really meant to be devoted to topics of personal safety. We have some less formal places on the forums in which we like to send stuff like "favorites" lists etc. I'm going to put this in Drug Culture. You should get some better answers there.

 

[canadianpeduser]

This a hard one to narrow down for the treatment of anxiety. As well, Their are some good Alpha2, Opioids, Anti-histamines, Sedative/Hypnotics, and Antipsychotics, and SSRI's that work to treat the same issue.

Benzos :
Versed > Valium > Xanax > Klonopin > Ativan > Librium

I find Roxicodone, Dilaudid, Clonidine, Vistaril PAM,Promethazine, Lunesta, Haldol, and Zoloft to all be relaxing enough to prevent anxiety.

There are some very good strains of THC that work very well.

In the UK they're pushing Gabapentinoids (Gabapentin and Pregabalin) for anxiety and they rarely prescribe benzos now which is disappointing . I'm on 600mg of Pregabalin a day and I must say they work.

That’s a lot of lyrica to be prescribed daily. Doesn’t it ever make you feel almost drunk like

I respect your sentiment , but I think this thread is pretty much going the way should be. I am hearing all new ways to deal with my anxiety. Yes there are the basic pretty risky ones being mentioned but there are also some healthy options being mentioned about it. I chose basic drug discussion because I felt it would apply but maybe there’s another aspect I’m not thinking of . Either way I appreciate the responses I’ve got
