You need to try meth together with a NMDA antagonist maybe. This combo yielded some of the most clean/clear euphoria I've ever experienced. Not mind blowing but so clean. And this with only 25-50mg meth per day. Comedown consisted of some sadness but no real cravings,
Personally I'd have no interest in trying Meth again (even though I recently found my Eastern Europen plugs number on SIM in an old phone I though I had tossed - or at least deleted it). That said, I'm interested in the neuro/chemistry behind coupling it with a NMDA antagonist so cheers for the heads up on that.
 
Not hard to imagine that product retaining some activity. No idea if it does and it’s likely been made and in the scientific literature if anyone saying this is totally impossible would like to prove me wrong @endlessnameless @chippermonk

Which product are you referring to? Bit lost here, sleeping tablets kicking in :)
 
cocaine forsure. I mean you put a line in front of me I won't refuse but at the price and purity level -- duration. Nasal problems. Crack seems even worse those poor bastards can't pass that pipe fast enough
 
XTC...

I'm from The Netherlands.

Hate the 'I love everybody vibe', it's just so damn fake and superficial. You're cuddling with someone and then they say you're the most wonderful person in the world and then they never see you or talk to you ever again even though you live down the street.

Now don't get me wrong, I do random chemseks hookups with other men (with meth two days ago, basecoke a few months ago, stimfap with NEP and -before it became illegal here- 3-MMC), and also enjoy the entactogenic edge of cathinones, but XTC on it's own, it rubs me the wrong way.

That’s weird I figured the ppl that voted xtc is because it doesn’t work or they get dysphoric effects from it because something is weird with their brain.

Yes mdma makes people act so cringe

But you don’t even appreciate it alone? It’s a fantastic drug imo. It does have a osuchdekic edge which is nice but in terms of raw euphoria I’d put it in the top 3 of all drugs. Some of my most memorable rolls were alone with the stereo and my cat.
 
But why would they differ from each other? They both hit basically just as fast and are the same drug, aren't they?
I really don't know.

I do know that when I was shooting it, the quality of cocaine I was getting was extremely good-- I had a very reliable connection who didn't cut his coke like most dealers did.

It's possible that the crack (different sources) was simply lower quality. However, the crack enthusiasts I was smoking it with were raving about how great it was. Maybe it was all they were used to.

I just know that the crack high was nowhere near as euphoric as the IV high and it was much shorter in duration. Just very disappointing in general.

I'm glad all that nonsense is behind me.

It has been years but I never smoked cocaine. I have used IV though, mixed with heroin at times. (well all times) I remember one time I took too big of a cocaine shot leaned against the wall and prayed God if I live I won't do it again. 15 minutes later I did it again. But yeah, oddly enough never smoked crack.

I still get stomach flips 35 years after the fact thinking about it. If I did that now I would be dead.
 
i sniffed I guess some meths. or maybe it was speed.

so thaat's why I don't like anything that has to be tested every ten minutes

it was still kind of good though. and potent. but no. i don't like to.

should I vote ? !
 
so i voted meth. bc i love crack and coke. ( well not anymore ) it will kill me now.... and isn't that good anyway <3
 
Crack and meth I don't like , I'm a heroin guy I'll take regular amphetamine in combination though
 
I can't vote here since there's only one option 🙄. It would be weed, coke/crack and benzos. Had I tried all it would probably be more 🤷
 
Benzos.

Never understood the hype (at first anyway). And I'm some one with severe anxiety & panic.

Sure they took away my anxiety & stuff, but they often left me feeling "flat" mentally, like everything just became boring after I took a benzo. And the sedation sucked.

Took me decades of using benzos before I finally understood why people enjoy them. But I still consider them subpar drugs for getting euphoria or an actual "high".

Technically most euphoric drugs increase neurotransmitters in the brain, while benzos decrease neurotransmitters, which should theoretically not be "euphoric" and could even dampen the euphoria of other drugs.

But once in awhile, a benzo will have a bit of a euphoric edge to it, especially if I'm really tense & anxious. But it's still nothing to write home about.
 
Having benzo on that list is like having poo on a list of foods
I mean according to the poll; next to psychedelics benzos are in the lead as least appalling drug.

They certisnky could be considered the most neutral or least impressive but they aren’t something so displeasing that ppl immediately say they never want to try it again, which was the aim of the poll.

They can be dry in their own as their isn’t much of a feeling but they do really disinhibit you like alcohol just without the high alcohol gives.

As an adjunct to opioids they really shine imo. It adds an almost “floating” to an opioid high. As an adjunct to alcohol they also shine if you really want to lose all inhibitions which I like too.

But it’s a personal taste but I just like being knocked unconscious by drugs, anesthetic like. Benzos are great at that too. I like em.


Have you ever tried temazepam? This is one that is actually euphoric, I would laugh annd laugh on it for some reason, and even slightly visual reminding me of a light ketamine dose giving things a dreamy sparkly appearance. Very unique among all other benzos

I guess i've never felt the real "nope this sucks" feeling then! Everything else has had something interesting to offer.

Never tried temazepam. I can imagine the "hypnotic" type would be more entertaining, a bit more like a z-drug.
