Vice called GHB "the most dangerous club drug in the world."

In low doses, this potent party drug feels like a combination of MDMA & alcohol.

In higher doses, it causes blackouts & increased suggestibility, making it a popular choice for predators.

A HARM REDUCTION THREAD: GHB Is GHB Safe?

GHB can be dangerous — even deadly — if abused or misused.

GHB Hospitalizations aren’t uncommon, and numerous deaths have been reported over the years.

Blood concentrations of 80–100 mg/L produce inebriated effects, while just 300–500 mg/L can result in death

Dissociative drugs (like ketamine) can be used to initiate an almost “zen-like” state of consciousness.

tripsitter.com/dissociatives/… This zen experience is similar to ego death, but the drug’s detachment effect removes uncomfortable feelings of fear and grief that present themselves as the ego struggles to retain its hold on the conscious mind.

Do you have burning questions about weed?

Throughout the day were going to be, answering your major cannabis questions like:

~Which Cannabinoids Show Up In A Drug Test?
~Can I Overdose on Marijuana?
~How Long Does Marijuana Stay In Your System?

THREAD: Which cannabinoids show up in a drug test?

Drug tests will only find what they’re looking for.

The vast majority look for a compound called 11-hydroxy-THC — which is the primary metabolite of THC that ends up in the urine.

There are two primary divisions of cannabis products (and a secret third one). In some states, one will get you arrested, while the other is completely legal.

Do you know what they are?

And no, it’s not Sativa and Indica: twitter.com/i/web/status/1… The two primary cannabis product categories are:

1. Hemp products — non-psychoactive and usually focused around medicinal cannabinoids like CBD

2. Marijuana products — usually psychoactive and focused around psychoactive cannabinoids like THC

Can you guess the third one?

Women played a crucial role in early psychedelic research — they were the therapists, partners, and scientists behind the scenes. Despite this, they are rarely discussed.

Here’s a thread that highlights contributions from the top 10 most influential women in psychedelics: Marlene Dobkin de Rios, an anthropologist, studied ayahuasca in Peru & conducted research on its effects on adolescents in Brazil. Her study found lower levels of anxiety and body dysmorphia in those teens. She also did private therapy for low-income families and was a professor.

LSD is the best-known lysergamide, but did you know there are dozens of others? These compounds vary in effects, potency, and legality, and are quickly growing in popularity.

A thread: Beyond LSD-25, The World of Lysergamides 1B-LSD is around 15% of the strength of LSD. Other than being less potent, the effects are nearly indistinguishable from both LSD and 1P-LSD. 1B-LSD was popular in Europe and Canada for a while as a “legal acid,” but new laws have since been imposed to ban this research chemical.

80 years ago today, Albert Hoffman was the first human to consume a full dose of LSD-25. This event has been nicknamed ‘Bicycle Day’, and is celebrated by psychonauts.

But what is Bicycle Day?

Here’s a thread explaining the background, story, and impact of Hoffman’s discovery: Hoffman began designing what would become LSD in 1938. He was researching analeptics, stimulants for treating various ailments of the lungs and circulatory system. However the drugs weren’t working on animals as hoped, so Hoffman & his team shifted focus.
