For me it's not the noise, it's the conversation. Something about TV or YouTube tricks me into feeling like I'm around humans when I'm not.

This probably isn't healthy but it's the easy coping mechanism for the problem of not socializing enough.


The last big batch was proven via test to be 30% caffeine by weight. I can't imagine people stopped cutting it.


MXE does. So does 2-Fluorodeschloroketamine, deschloroketamine, and several others. The issue is once you step off the PCM chain you have hider chance of a side effect of mania.

MXE does have the same bladder issues, but is taken as a smaller dose so it takes longer to happen.


Ketamine is heavily cut on the black market, both in crystal form and not.

What is harder to fake it vial ketamine. There is a significant cost to that.


Exactly. Street ketamine powder is often heavily cut. If I had to buy illegally for some reason, I would only consider buying sealed vials, and I'd probably still have them tested. My ketamine doctor has worked with patients who used to buy on the street, and they brought in "ketamine" that was the wrong color, had flecks of different colors in it, etc.


Insufflation is the word you're looking for.

That's also untrue. IM, and IV are most faster come offs then insufflation or eating it. Though eating ketamine sucks for the amount you need.

What is true about IV is you can control the amount that actually gets taken in much better.


> What is true about IV is you can control the amount that actually gets taken in much better.

I agree 100% with this. Furthermore, being able to carefully control the dose and duration is paramount in getting the effects to last as long as possible.


That is a very cool thing to do.


Yeah. I collect the actual items talked about in them and having these just makes a neat extra element to a display or something.


Even of the ones who are, a lot of are turned off by the UI


It seems that most people are going:

- Twitter - Pillowfort - Wordpress - Mastodon

depends a lot on what the user was into posting.

I'm also seeing quite a few more people operating on multiple sites at once now, even SFW blogs. So they'll post Tumblr, Pillowfort, and Wordpress at the same time so their former users can still see them.


I remember when this happened on Hansa because the dutch feds took it over.


During their time as black market administrators, the Dutch police only banned one product on Hansa: the highly dangerous opioid Fentanyl.

Fentanyl doses in micrograms I believe. A lot of addicts are addicted to the feeling of the injection and the ritual of it as well.

Heroin I believe doses in the tens of mgs, which is hard to measure precisely but can be weighed on a twenty dollar scale. You could distribute fent in the same way Lsd is on blotter paper. The big difference is you accidently get a hot spot of Lsd it's not fatal.

Many addicts aren't buying massive quantities at once either nor are they getting it from the internet.


Typical dose of fentanyl in the medical setting for an adult is 100 ug (0.1 mg). For heroin (diamorphine in the UK), it’s 5 mg. A 50x difference.


A typical dose is 25 mcg, I certainly wouldn’t give an opioid naive person 100mcg in a go. Dose low and go again if relief not adequate
