Blog Video Summary: How To Plug Psychedelics                • Watch the video at least once.  Video is here.                  • This is for informational purposes and harm reduction.  You need to take 100% responsibility for what you put in your body.                  • Actualized.org does not condone the use of recreational drugs.  Psychedelics are intended to be used for spiritual purposes only.                   • Check the laws in your area.  Laws vary a lot from country to country.  _______________________________________________           -Plugging is one of the cleanest, safest ways to take psychedelics.  It’s painless, gentler and smoother than other methods like snorting, vaping and oral routes of administration.  If you’re sick, in pain or vomiting it’ll distract you during your trip. eg:  Snorting and vaping can hurt your nose, throat and lungs.  Oral/swallowing can cause vomiting or nausea, like methallylescaline.  Also, most psychedelics taste awful.              -Empty your bowels before plugging so that you can fully absorb the psychedelic.             -Make sure your stomach is empty, especially with 5-MeO-DMT.  You want a TOTALLY empty stomach for at least 4 hours prior to the trip, unless you enjoy suffering.            -Many chems are perfect for plugging, like 5-MeO-DMT, MALT, Ketamine, Methallylescaline, 2C-B, etc.           -Plug chems in their HCL form.  You can also plug fumarate.             -The Freebase form needs to be converted to HCL so that it doesn’t burn your bathroom muscles.  You can use vinegar and/or light coconut milk.  A demo of this can be found here on youtube.           -With any new psychedelic, start with a light dose and gradually increase your dose on subsequent trips, by 5-10mg depending on how potent the substance is.   eg: 5-MeO-DMT’s light dose is 3-6mg.  Ketamine’s light dose is 10-30mg.   For 5-MeO-DMT               • For 5-MeO-DMT, plugging makes the trip last twice as long compared to snorting and ten times longer compared to vaping.  You’ll need a lower dose if you plug.                • Vaping makes the trip too quick to contemplate, whereas plugging gives you a longer trip which is better for savouring non-duality and making sense of it.   On Measuring      -For tiny potent substances like 5-MeO, the micro scooper is more accurate than a scale.  Using a good scale and a micro scooper is great, but only if the scale is high quality and calibrated.      -If you use a scale, use a high quality scale that’s been calibrated.  Ideally you’d use a laboratory grade scale.  Sadly, you can’t find those on Amazon.        -Larger dosed substances like shrooms don’t need a high quality scale, because it’s easier for scales to read higher doses.      -The smaller the dose, the easier it is for the reading to be inaccurate.  You can use the calibrating weight for a more accurate reading.             To weigh your dose:                      a) Place the calibrating weight (usually 20g) and your dose on the scale.                      b) Record the total weight of both the dose and the calibrating weight.                       c) Take the Total weight and subtract the calibrating weight to get the weight of your dose.       -You don’t need that much water to dissolve small doses.  Around 0.3ml is good for 10mg, like with 5-MeO.  Ketamine or Methallylescaline will require more water, like 0.8ml. _______________________________________________      You’ll need:                      • Micro-scooper, can also use a milligram scale.                      • 1 ml syringe, needlessness.                      • Rubber band.                      • Drinking water, the purer the better.                      • A vessel/container for mixing the substance with water.  (Leo uses a ¼ teaspoon scooper)                      • Your psychedelic of choice.        Demo Starts (4:55)       1. Measure out your dose and put it in the mixing container.      2. Suck in 0.3 to 0.8ml of water into the syringe.      3. Slowly drip it into your measured out substance, inside the mixing container.      4. Stir and dissolve the substance.  You can use the micro-scoop or even a paperclip.  Ideally there should be no little particles left, or they won’t get sucked up into the syringe.      5. Wrap the rubber band tightly around the syringe at around the 0.6 ml mark.  This will help you insert the syringe deep enough, but not too deep.  This helps you absorb the substance properly.  You will be pushing the syringe in until you feel the rubber band against your butt.        6. Suck up every last bit of the substance into the syringe.        7. It helps to lube up the syringe, especially at the tip.  You can use saliva or coconut oil.        8. Make sure you’re holding the syringe by the base and not the plunger, or the liquid might expel prematurely.      9. Get on all fours, doggy style.  Relax your bathroom muscles.  Insert rectally.  Stop inserting when you can feel the rubber band against your butt.           10. Once it’s in, start pushing the plunger.  Start slow at first, but when it’s halfway, push it quickly so that every last drop gets out.        11. Don't remove it right away.  Let the liquid absorb to prevent leakage.  This can take from 5s to 1 min.       12. Pull it out and slightly clench your butt to prevent leakage.        13. Now, you have 5 to 10 mins before the substance kicks in.  Lie down on your stomach somewhere comfy.  If you walk around it might leak out.        14.  After about 15 mins the liquid will be fully absorbed and you can walk around, if you have to.
