Stay away from Benadryl, folks.

Kratom is cool if you’re trying to quit opiates or alcohol.

I can’t recommend kava if you don’t live in a place where it’s cheap, but if that isn’t an issue it has reverse tolerance and actually gets more fun the more you use it.

          Dextro is somehow my favorite dissociative, even after using it quite a bit over the years. One thing about Dextro is weed and set are really essential with it, but I like the ranges of dissociation it offers. If you want to give it another shot, try Polystrex instead of HBR, it's far more gentle than a full HBR trip.

          Separate from that though, it really is ket. By far the best safety profile of any dissociative I've come across, pleasantly psychedelic but dose dependant enough that you can get whatever you want off it. I just wish it lasted a little bit longer to prevent compulsive redosing.

          For the experimental ones thouge, I liked 2 FDK. That's the one that felt the way I imagined ketamine would feel before I tried any dissociatives

      You used to be able to get a ketamine derivative called MXE through mail order like 10 years ago that was absolutely magical and very cheap, but China clamped down on all the labs that were producing RC's and it's seemingly impossible to get anymore.

          I haven't ordered anything since maybe 2015, but I had a real nice time for a few years before they started banning all the good stuff.

            Yeahh so much cool stuff is just impossible to find now... and like some classes of drugs just have very few good RC options anymore...

            Like if someone is into opioids, I think O-DSMT is still around and it's pretty safe but everything else available is pretty fucking awful for you, not only in terms of effects relative to the classics but especially healthwise lol

        MXE is so misssed lol. Its like how people dream about Quaaludes except MXE isnt overhyped and was actually amazing. Also docs were giving out ludes like candy back then. The people who got to try MXE is limited and Im sure it still exists but not in any way accessible.

          When trying to describe it I would tell people it was so good it can ruin your life. I used to do small bumps before going on jogs and just marvel at the world.

        I remember MXE coming "back" a few years ago but apparently it was all weird and wrong.

        I also got some DCK around that time and mostly i just got some scenery slicing and queasiness. 3/10.

      Ketamine is really good for treatment-resistant depression and I have a hot take that there's a significant number of regular users of street ketamine who put themselves in a k-hole as a form of self-medication.

      Ketamine is also super useful for catatonia and it should be the treatment option they resort to prior to ECT due to ECT having much more serious side effects comparatively. We're getting there though.

      Since I'm dropping my ketamine-related hot takes I think that TRD and catatonia are often so similar in symptomatology and response to the same treatments that they should be considered synonymous (not a doctor, not a psychiatrist)
