halfknots started following What is Kratom, it's effects mega thread.
-
Kratom interesting in that it's effects are dose dependent. At lower doses it is stimulating and at higher doses it is analgesic and sedating. It's been in use for centuries in Southeast Asia and other areas where kratom grows natively. There's almost certainly been people habitually using it all this time, but in the west as always the potential for addiction and abuse is plain to see. What else is there to say?

@Manusia it is well known that it can cause digestive discomfort and constipation. In addition I started having terrible "allergic reaction" type issues due to liver overload. Occasional bad swelling in my face and outbreaks of hives on my neck, back, arms, and chest.
-
I used it on and off for a year. It was very taxing on my liver and on my digestive organs. This was no more than one dose in the evening, about a tablespoon I think.

Store freebase in glass only. It is highly basic and highly reactive, and will react with plastic.

I've had similar insights

Exerting any part of the body past it's comfort zone will lead to inflammation, one symptom of which can be pain.

Even a cursory search regarding best practices with LSD would reveal this was a bad idea. Consider l-theanine, magnesium, and 5-htp. You'll be fine. EDIT: This can be a lesson in attempting to escape discomfort "And all this stress made me drink alcohol, smoke few cigarettes & take 1mg of xanax to calm down"

If we're talking about 5-MeO-DMT hydrochloride, fumarate, or other salt, it is extremely shelf stable. Freebase on the other hand will degrade when exposed to light, heat, moisture, and air.

halfknots started following Tryptamine's degradation in Water, 5-Meo-Dmt Experiment Proposal
-
While I appreciate your curiosity this won't work the way you intend. Reagent test kits won't test for degradation which seems to be the whole point of this experiment. For that you would need high performance liquid chromatography, gas chromatography mass spectrometry etc. Reagent kits are for the identification of substances and possible adulterants/contaminants.

I have a batch like this all good.

halfknots started following Was this enlightenment? (Psilocybin trip)
-
Yes what you described is a perfectly natural part of the exploration of consciousness. The nature of enlightenment is the subject of debate and is a matter of semantics and what we choose to believe. Some would say you had a realization, insight or an awakening, with the distinction being that enlightenment is a permanent shift or expansion in consciousness. What we call your experience matters less than how you integrate it. The primacy of love is a valuable and transformational realization.
-
@Fluran In my experience we can and do create powerful sensory associations, especially when working with altered states of consciousness, such that something like a sound or song can cause a reactivation of that altered state. This is a well known phenomenon with 5-MeO-DMT in particular. https://youtu.be/K0rU_g7q1lc

@Fluran what exactly are you skeptical of? Based on your post it's the relationship between brainwave states and the tones which claim to create those states such as seen all across YouTube. Have you heard of Hemi Sync or the Gateway Process?
