Truth or D.A.R.E. (Drug Awareness Research Experiment)

How to Survive an Ecstasy Comedown

2012-09-16T11:51:00.002-07:00

After a few hours of being up all night on ecstasy with little to no food nor sleep, your body will more than likely go into a depression. This is due to a loss of serotonin, dopamine, and NE. In addition, your body has lost a lot of vitamins which were at one time highly active during your period of euphoria. Now it is time to replenish your body with whatever it has lost.

1) Water

Drink it during and after. Staying hydrated is one of the most important things to be aware of during a roll. However, do NOT over drink.
Over drinking may cause hyponatremia (a condition to where your blood sodium levels are diluted) which can have fatal consequences.
We are recommended to drink about eight glasses of water a day so any amount around that should be sufficient.

2) Music

Music is proven to help distract and relax the mind from negative thoughts and emotions which are part of coming down depression. Try to stay away from upbeat party music (which may cause a re-roll) and lean towards a more soothing scene.
Any one of your mellow artists on Pandora should suffice, but below are a few recommendations:

Lights by Ellie Goulding (Shook Remix)
High For This by Ellie Goulding
Radio by Lana Del Rey
By Tokimonsta:

Little Pleasures
Sweet Day
Darkest (Dim)
World Was Ours
Kick Push (Lupe x Ghibli)
Kumoni by Nujabes
Just What I am by Kid Cudi

3) P.M.A (Positive Mental Attitude!)

Although this may seem like common sense, don't trip out. Direct your mind to as many pleasing and happy thoughts as possible.
Stay calm and know that everything is going to be okay. A good way to start a positive mentality is to count your blessings. Ask yourself smart questions such as "What/who am I thankful for?"
The more you focus on your uncomfortability, the more prominent the symptoms may seem.

4) Supplements/Vitamins

Mulitvitamin

Vitamins are mostly enzymes that were depleted to keep you up and going during the roll.

5-HTP

Replenishes depleted levels of serotonin
Use AFTER the roll

Do NOT take antidepresants

This is stupid
Do NOT take a drug to counteract the side effects of another drug
Results may be detrimental

5) Marijuana

May help to ease the anxiety
Helps you to relax/get sleep (if possible)

6) Nyquil

Take a normal dose and this should also allow you to get a decent rest.

How To Survive The Three Days of EDC (Electric Daisy Carnival)

2012-01-28T15:49:00.000-08:00

When: Friday, Saturday & Sunday June 8-10, 2012
                From 8pm to 8am

Where: Las Vegas Motor Speedway
                7000 Las Vegas Blvd N
                Las Vegas, NV 89119

Ok, so first things first. If you're gonna be spending three straight days dancing the night away on top of being drugged up and fucked up, there are a couple things you'll need to know. You ready? Let's do this...

Where's what and who's where. Know who's playing and where, because making out with that random stranger to 'Save the World' performed by Tiesto will not be nearly as epic as making out with that random stranger to 'Save The World' performed by Swedish House Mafia. Secondly, drugs. You're most likely going to be on one, but make sure you know what you're taking and how much of. And lastly, rave culture; so you’re not like the smelly kid in class no one wants to talk to.

If there was any a time to do your homework it would be for EDC. This year's lineup has yet to be released, but stay tuned because we will be updating that info as soon as it drops. Nonetheless, last year's top performances were done by Skrillex on Saturday and Swedish House Mafia on Sunday. But what you can for sure look forward to is that this particular Insomniac event includes a variety of carnival attractions such as merry-go-rounds, slides, a Ferris wheel, roaming freak show, stilt walkers, aerial performers, and fireworks just to name a few. Speaking of fireworks, what’s a great lightshow without visual enhancements?

Red Pokeballs, Geen Pumas, Yellow Cadillacs. Yes, Ecstasy. Whether you’re on the street form or the pure MDMA, you will want to be sure how to ration your intake in between time so you can optimize your EDC experience. This means utilizing the free refill water stations. Although there will be many dealers selling street ex, it’s best to cop from someone you at least semi-know and trust. There have been incidences at events where deaths of ravers were caused due to consumption of unsafe street ecstasy.

Note: The street form which has been found to contain traces of just about every other drug such as over-the-counter medications, dextromethorphan, paramethoxyamphetamine, heroin, and cocaine to name a few. Consumption of cocaine increases blood pressure which in turn may increase the risk of a ruptured blood vessel within the brain along with the narrowing of blood vessels, reducing blood flow around the brain.

Get out your pad and pen because nobody wants to look like a douche at a rave. These events are like nothing else. Remember the club scene where every dude is ready to fight the next and to talk to a girl you need that thing called game? Well in this alternate universe everything is the exact OPPOSITE. Everyone is too on one to even worry about fighting. In fact, it is very much frowned upon. Not to mention they are half-naked and twice as hot as the usual suspects. Also guys, girls are very likely to APPROACH YOU before you even start planning your moves! This way of life is known as PLUR (Peace, Love, Unity, and Respect). In addition, getting kandied is a way of one raver showing another that they like you. This is when you make a peace sign and touch yours to the other’s (Peace), then make a half-heart with thumb and index finger and connect it to their half to create a whole heart (Love), next lace your fingers with theirs (Unity), and finally slide your kandi bracelet over to your new friend’s wrist (Respect).

Having rhythm is the least of your worries, however, you might want to look up How-to-Shuffle videos on Youtube as this is one of the most popular ways of dance at raves along with light shows with LED lights or gloves. Moreover, if you don’t already listen to house, dubstep, trance, techno, or any of the sort, you will want to check out the top artists such as Skrillex, Deadmau5, Burial, Skream, Daft Punk, the list goes on. That way you can sing along to the music rather than moving your lips in unison.

The Look: For optimum neck-breakage these items are a must.

-Kandies (multi-colored bracelets)

-UFO Pants (for shufflers)

-Glowsticks

-LED Lights

-Sound Reactive EQ Shirts

-Glow-in-the-Dark Anything

-Body paint

-Anything neon

Ecstasy's Short Vs Long-Term Side-Effects

2012-01-09T21:58:00.000-08:00

Ecstasy is the party drug we all know and love, however, whether you're a first time user or one of the hardcore addicts there are a few details you'd might like to know. Also, these side-effects are from the street-form of ecstasy and not to be confused with the pure form of MDMA, better known as Mollies.

Short-Term Side-Effects:

-Anxiety
-Depression
-Paranoia
-Nausea
-Stiffness of the limbs
-Excessive thirst
-Insomnia
-Jaw-clenching
-Muscle cramping
-Blurry vision
-Confusion
-Amnesia
-Hallucinations

Long Term Side-Effects:

-Brain damage
-May impair memory performance
-A study showed that experienced users had a decreased their numbers of healthy serotonin cells by 20-60%
-Hypertension (abnormally high blood pressure)
-Hyperthemia (having a body temperature above normal)
-Heart and kidney failure (kidney failure could be due to the increase in body temperature which alters how efficient the enzymes function)

Ecstasy: Long-Term and Therapeutic Effects

2012-01-04T15:54:00.000-08:00

Recently discovered by Vanderbilt University investigators, was that using ecstasy - the rave drug we know and love - has the potential to cause chronic changes within the human brain.

Ronald Cowan, M.D., Ph.D, and associate professor of Psychiatry states that Ecstasy causes long-term neurotoxicity in humans by affecting the brain's receptivity to serotonin.

Furthermore, "...the drug causes chronic loss of serotonin in humans," Cowan says. Serotonin is the neurotransmitter that sends signals to our brains to help with the regualtion of our mood, appetite, sleep, learning and memory.

Also, MDMA (AKA Ecstasy) has been developing a reputation for being safe and therapeutic because it is currently being tested on individuals with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and anxiety-related issues of cancer. PTSD is a disorder commonly found in post-war veterans that have difficulty coping with traumatic events

If this reputation is solidified, Cowan fears that the numbers of individuals self-administering the drug will increase drastically. More importantly, we should know the difference between dosages that are considered therapeutic to those that are dangerous.

The study of Cowan and colleagues suggests that the frequency one uses Ecstasy is related to how often their brain will undergo changes.

During the study, they used strictly female voluneers since there has been evidence that males and femals produce different amounts of serotonin. Cowan and his colleagues used positron emmission tomography (PET) imaging to scan amounts of serotonin-2A receptors within certain parts of the brain.

What they found was that Ecstasy users had higher amounts of serotonin-2A receptors and that using a higher dose along with long-term experience was directly correlated with a higher number of serotonin receptor.. Most likely this is the body's way of compensating for the lower amounts of serotonin production by increasing its sensitivity to serotonin.

Cowan and colleagues also announced that Ecstasy could lead to a loss in brain efficiency because it increases brain activation in three areas of the brain associated with visual processing.

The 2010 National Survey on Drug Use and Health polled that within the U.S., an approximate 15.9 million individuals at age 12 and up had consumed Ecstasy at least once. In addition, 695,000 people used Ecstasy during the month before even being surveyed.

Cowan's focus is to determine the dosage of Ecstasy that is toxic, and whether or not genetics plays a role in being vunerable to the drug's toxicity. Since clinical trials show that this drug has therapeutic benefits, we should know the risks at hand, he says.

Although there have been studies showing that ecstasy users experience damage to their potential memory and attention, it has not been taken into account that these users have also had experience with other drugs as well.

However, recently in the journal Addiction, scientists John Halpern from Harvard University and colleagues discovered that there is no correlation between the use of MDMA and brain damage.

Their Experiment:

A total of 111 participants (52 long-term users and 59 nonusers) which have all been exposed to raves and the culture alike. They also were screened for drugs before taking the cognitive tests.

The only difference was that the long-term users were slightly more impulsive than the latter. This was left on the backburner however because the scientists theorized that their impulsive behavior led them to their long-term use rather than it being a result from using.

The experiments performed on animals like chimpanzees were forced to be retracted. The chemical they used was not MDMA, but a chemical with similar effects. Not only that, but the chimps were being administered methamphetamine. Although street ecstasy is known to carry traces of other drugs such as methamphetamine, the specimen were not under ecstasy in its pure form, MDMA.

Even though ecstasy may or may not cause mood changes due to serotonin receptors the FDA has approved of its use for clinical trials. Subjects

There is a PTSD diagnostic criteria which is used to measure the severity of a subject's disorder. Michael Mithoefer, MD, a psychiatrist living in Charleston, South Carolina has done a pilot study where within two or three sessions of MDMA-aided therapy, 17 of his 20 subjects no longer met the PTSD criteria. More surprising, was that the 17 underwent only two to three MDMA-aided therapy sessions.

The future of Ecstasy-related therapies shows a promising future.

Top 5 Drugs To Take Before You Die

2011-10-29T00:15:00.000-07:00

What are drugs?

By popular definition: A drug is any substance, other than food, intended to alter one’s normally functioning body or state of mind. And I’m going to tell you exactly why you should take them.

5. Marijuana AKA Tree of Knowledge

What it is: Marijuana is derived from a beautiful plant that contains the chemical tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in which the effects contain extreme relaxation, a heightening of the senses, sometimes paranoia and did I mention, EXTREME RELAXATION.

And the plant looks like this...

Why You Need It: There are two ways in which Mary Jane can improve your quality of life both physically and mentally.

Physical Benefits:

Decreased/Slowed chance of cancer development
Beneficial for those with AIDS
Assists with the pain of chemotherapy
Benefits those with waste syndrome
Promotes an increase in appetite which is inhibited
Beneficial for those with glaucoma
Helps with pressure on one’s eye
Defends against hardened arteries
Increase in the quality of sexual intercourse
Keeps migraines at bay
Not physically addicting

Mental Benefits:

EXTREME relaxation
Altered state of consciousness
You cease to care about any problem that crosses your mind
Everything is funny
Resolves conflicts by decreasing aggression and enhancing empathy
Studies show that if material is obtained while in a high state of mind, the ability of recollection will increase dramatically once reentered into the same state.

Methods of Consumption: There are three means of marijuana intake and they are all effective in their own way. Through experimentation you may figure out which works best to your liking.

Tea (beverage form), Food (edibles) and Smoking methods

Inhalation: This is the most common and efficient way to experience the benefits of Ms. Jane. Though first timers rarely get high on the occasion, unless you are supplied plentiful and the quality is of the elite strains. Or maybe you will. In a sense, results may vary.

The Blunt: Using a Swisher Sweet, Cigarillo, or any cigar wrap for that matter should suffice in your endeavor. Many find great pleasure in rolling their own blunt to perfection.

On the other hand, some roll what others would define as mediocre. In all essence, if it gets you where you want to go, it’s a great blunt.

Steps:

1. Chop down the tree:

a. Break apart by hand to tiny clumps.

b. Or if you have a grinder that will save you time also

2. Split the wrap.

a. By hand:

-Use both thumbs to peel apart the wrap (be careful not to damage the whole).

-There are also splitters that can do this for you. Not to mention they work wonders.

3. Toss the “swisher guts” or tobacco.

4. Load your ammo.

5. Evenly distribute the desired amount into your wrap.

6. Now roll tightly and lick the loose part of the wrap to seal.

7. Run a the flame from your lighter up and down the wrap for approx. 3-5 sec to ensure total dryness.

8. Spark and enjoy.

Dangers: Please take into account that this is still an illegal substance in some countries and states. Consume at your own risk.

If smoking, you are still inhaling smoke. This is unhealthy regardless if you’re Lance Armstrong going on your 8^th consecutive Tour de France. Marijuana can impair your coordination, perception, and judgment.

If you plan on being active during intake, it would be best to do so in the comfort of you or a friend’s home.

You may become inevitably lazy.

When and Where to Consume: Ultimately, the timing and location is crucial if one plans on reaping the greatest benefits without encountering a buzz kill. But don’t be too afraid to be creative, after all it is the most tolerated drug on the planet.

When: It all depends on how productive you’d like to be. These are mostly suggestions and these “bad” times for some may so happen to be the best times for others.

Before/During Work
Before/During a study session
Before a workout
Before Class
Before doing anything that requires you to be productive

Best Times: Pretty much after any of the above would be a great time.

Before/During a movie

Before/During sex
Before/During conflict with another
Before/During you attending a theme park or arcade
When playing video games
Before any food consumption
Before starting your day (The classic Wake N’ Bake)

Where: The location preferably would be where you would be bothered the least. Such as...

Bad Locations: Anywhere that might risk an encounter with the police or free-loaders (unless you’re feeling generous).

Good Locations: The opposite of the above.

Home of you or a friend
Party
Music concert
Any location that meets the above times
Whom to Consume With:
Friends
Enemies
Relatives
Anyone and everyone willing

Foods/Beverages: There are no known food enhancers for marijuana, other than the consumption of edibles

Consuming food BEFORE your session will reap the longest high.
Your meals have the potential of absorbing some of the THC.
Foods high in sugar can potentially shorten the experience.

Beverages: These will not prolong your high, but it is safe and will alter your type of high. Just keep in mind to avoid drinks with increased amounts of sugar.

I. Coffee/Tea: The caffeine can help to fight off the drowsiness one may have and increase your level of productivity while on.

II. Sugar-Free Energy Drinks: (Red Bull Sugar Free, Rockstar Sugar-Free, Rockstar Zero Carb, Java Monster, etc.)
-The sweetness you will detect is not sugar, rather a substitute which will most like be sucralose.

4. Adderall

What it is: Adderall is a central nervous system stimulant. It affects chemicals in the brain and nerves that contribute to hyperactivity and impulse control.

It is a prescription drug that is prescribed in different dosage sizes such as 10mg, 15mg, 20mg and 30mg. Also, it comes in two forms: instant release (IR) and extended release capsules (XR)

3. Ecstasy

What it is: Ecstasy, aka MDMA (3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine) is a narcotic taken in the form of a pill. It comes in many “brand names” such as Green Pumas, Red Rhinos, and White Cadillacs to name a few.

This is not to be confused with pure MDMA or mollies. Certain brands are rumored to have traces of heroin and cocaine; however, traces of Speed and Ketamine have been found in laboratory tests.

These pills are usually stacked, meaning they contain multiple amounts of the usual dosage. The range of stacked pills go from single to quad.

Why you need it: Ecstasy has the potential to build or strengthen bonds between one another and instills a strong sense of empathy for human beings.

Fear

Methods of Consumption: When taking Ecstasy it can be utilized by:

swallowing
chewing

and absorbed anally (aka an edema)

Although not recommended, anal absorption raises the quantity of ecstasy taken in by one’s body.

Dangers (abused / long term abuse)

Brain damage
Depression
Impaired judgement
Addiction
Damages to serotonin neurons
Sleep deprivation
Loss of appetite for food
Dehyrdration
Impaired judgment
Mood swings

Loss of memory
As long as you take the drug just to have a good time once in a blue moon these negative effects will not interfere with your brain function and life.

When and Where to Consume: This substance is best taken in social environments.

Recommended Locations

**Raves – Large concerts where the majority of attendants are most likely rolling
Clubs or Lounges
Small social venues (Kickbacks, parties, drug parties, hookah lounges)

When: It is usually best to consume approximately one hour before entering a rave, club or lounge to bypass security without the worries of getting caught with paraphernalia.

What to Consume With: First of all, do NOT listen to the rumors of Niacin, which will thin your blood and do nothing for enhancement. 5-HTP is also believed to increase the levels of serotonin, however, there have been many reports to this supplement also lacking any kind of effect.

Vitamin C, orange juice, and grapefruit juice are also believed to increase the experience, but it is actually known to lower the absorption. It is encouraged to fast or eat very lightly before consumption as well.

2. Magic mushrooms/shrooms

What it is: Also known as psilocybin are fungi that contain the psychoactive compounds psilocybin and psilocin. This substance makes you feel a body high and some claim to have figured out the meaning of life through consuming shrooms.

Why you need it: Shrooms can produce a strong hallucinogenic effect to the point that you lose a sense of time a reality. Many find a sense of understanding why everything is the way that it is.. a sense of "knowing."

Methods of consumption: Magic mushrooms can be consumed by being eaten, drinking them in a liquid, or smoked.

Eating: Usually a eighth (3.5 grams) is sufficient to reach the desired high of shrooms, however each person is different.

Drinking: This will decrease the time of waiting for them to hit whilst increasing the intensity of the shrooms.

Juice forms can be taken by grinding to a fine powder in a coffee grinder or blender. Then put into an acidic juice (orange or grapefruit works best).

Tea form is prepared by

-8oz water
-1 teaspoon lemon juice
-1 tablespoon sugar
-honey to taste

1) Mix together and bring to a boil, take off the heat and add ground shrooms.
2) Cover and let sit 15 minutes.
3) Add a bag of your favorite tea.
4) Re-cover and let steep 5-15 more minutes.
5) Strain through a coffee filter, enjoy!

The trip may feel stronger because the come-up is much faster. You may usually start to feel it kicking in about ten minutes after drinking tea.

Smoking is done by sprinkling the ground shrooms onto marijuana and then rolled.

Positive mental benefits

Taking just the right amount of a substance found in magic mushrooms can help to positively improve:

Attitude
Mood
Behavior and happiness levels
Sense of gratitude and appreciation for life
Life changing spiritual experiences
Feelings of euphoria

Studies have shown that it can improve a person's general well-being for up to a year after taking it. You can possibly discover new outlook on life.

Dangers

Intense feeling of fear
Mild to severe anxiety
Dizziness or confusion
Headaches
Nausea
Gas

Ways to consume shrooms. Where to take them? With who?

There are many ways to consume shrooms but the best way is to just eat them straight up. Sometimes people mix it with orange juice. If you want to be really creative you can even put it on your pizza.

When choosing a place to take shrooms you should also keep in mind who your going to be around. You want to take it at place where you feel safe and with people that you know and trust.

Also, highly recommended through studies and experiences to take a small amount if it’s your first time. Once you get a taste of the feeling then you can choose to gradually increase intake.

1. DMT

What it is: DMT, standing for dimethyltryptamine is an extremely potent, naturally occuring hallucinogen which is usually extracted from the plant ayahuasca.

This chemical exists in every living human and many plants however. It is the chemical responsible for the reason we have such outrageous dreams due to its release during slumber.

Why you need it: It is known to have such a strong hallucinogenic effect that many believe they find the meaning to life and a strong sense of self purpose. One can experience a total loss of reality for about 10-15 min.

For those who are lost in life, or perhaps those who need to be reminded DMT is the way to go in search of one who'd like to make complete sense out of this life that seems to be completely senseless.

Physical Benefits: There are remotely no positive effects towards ones physical state when considering DMT. However, one does experience a buzzing or vibration throughout the whole body.

Negative Effects: The thick smoke of DMT results in the majority of the adversities.

Coughing
Dizziness

Mental Benefits:

State of Euphoria
Full immersion of the hallucination
Deeper appreciation for life
Sense of purpose

Methods of Consumption: DMT can be taken orally or by means of smoking.

Oral intake is not effective unless assisted by the use of an MAOI, an enzyme inhibitor because the enzyme monoamine oxidase (MAO) is an enzyme that breaks down poisons and drugs, such as DMT.

By oral consumption you are more likely to get the most out of the amount of DMT you are taking in.

MAOIs may cause harmless foods to become extremely toxic due to the function of MAOs. It is advised to fast 24 hours prior to MAOI consumption.

Some MAOIs:

Syrian rue (Peganum harmala)
Banisteriopsis caapi
Passionflower
Yohimbe
Certain anti-depressiva [Isocarboxazid (Marplan), Moclobemide (Aurorix, Manerix), Phenelzine (Nardil), Selegiline (Eldepryl, Emsam), Tranylcypromine (Parnate)]

Visit http://dmtdrug.com/maoi.htm for more info on the dangers considering.

Smoking DMT can be done through a freebase airpipe, DMT pipe, or inhaled with marijuana in a pipe or bong.

Freebase:

1) You'll need a freebase airpipe, usually the largest funnel-typed bowl works best.

2) Insert the largest fine mesh stainless steel screen that will fit into the bowl.

3) Spriinkle the DMT equally over the center of the mesh screen. (Make sure to keep the DMT away from the edges of the screen so when it melts it will not run over the edges).

4) Hold your flame over the screen and inhale deeply and slowly

5) Do NOT let the flame touch the DMT because it will destroy the substance (The point is to allow the hot air to vaporize the DMT)

The advantages to the freebase method:

-50mg of DMT can be divided into three hits.

-The smaller amount can be vaporized and inhaled in one breath with the screen being reloaded with DMT after each hit

DMT Piping It:

1) Load the DMT into the glass chamber and heat the outside bottom of the chamber

2) As the white vapor appears, breathe in deeply and slowly (If inhaled too soon/quickly the powdered DMT will be sucked into your throat, thus being inactive)

3) On each toke try to hold the breath for as long as possible. Exhale immediately and follow with a second.

4) Keep taking lungfuls and holding them until all of the DMT is consumed or smoke as much as you can before you inevitabily fall into a trance-like state.

As you feel yourself falling into it exhale and breath normally. Close your eyes and enjoy. If there are friends around, alert them to take the pipe for you since you will lose motor controls.

It is best that one is not disturbed during the 4-8 minutes of the trip.

Once out of the trip, one should stay in a relaxed position for about ten minutes due to lack of control of the limbs.

Within 30 minutes one will still be within a euphoric state but no longer experiencing hallucinations.

Within one hour one will have landed completely.

Dangers:DMT should not be combined with other drugs. Marijuana may fog the effects.

Also, DMT increases the heart rate. Therefore, it is not advised to combine with Ecstasy, Adderall, or any substance known to increase heart rate.

When/Where to consume: DMT is best consumed within the comfort of one's home because many tend to lose control of their limbs and faint.

DMT's effects are best experienced in a quiet room. If DMT is taken during the peak of a shroom or LSD trip the effects are outstanding, but may be overwhelming for begginers and only recommended for the experienced or brave.

When taken at the peak of another psychedelic trip, the effects may last for several hours.
