If you notice an improperly formatted reply, kindly message the poster and gently remind them it needs to comport with the Naltrexone example below. It is simple and keeps things traversable and useful, thanks 🙏

Naltrexone

I will start with naltrexone, which can help people who have difficulty regulating their drinking have a more natural and sustainable relationship with alcohol should they choose to not cut it out of their lives entirely.

Dramamine!!

Oh, man.

You ever wake up on a day you want to do nothing but sleep in, but you're awake and you hate it?

Take one, rip the bong, watch some bs and take a nap 😴

Thats like Benedryl/diphenhydramine, right?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Dramamine is a motion sickness medication. Also an antihistamine like Benedryl, but a different compound: Dimenhydrinate

Both can have drowsiness as side effects

And a mighty fine deleriant

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I kinda lump deliriants in with other "drugs" like paprika or whatever that are unpleasant to the extent its mostly teenagers trying to "feel something" from the comfort of their kitchen pantry

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Paprika? Nah it's closer to dxm.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You mean in terms of efficacy in the context of deliriants or, you know, like, actually good? Like non-hellish? Pretty sure it was beyond unpleasant when I accidentally took too much diphenhydramine. Hated that shit

Maybe maybe maybe...

This is very subjective and also highly dependend on the mix of Cannabinoids in the plant. The Terpenes where found out to have no real effect (some strains called "Sativa" have the same as others called "Indica")

The more CBN is in the plant (Cannabinol) the more sleepy and less psychoactive it is. CBN comes from degradation of THC, so old plants (more UV, older resin) have more CBN.

"Sativa" Strains like Haze are often harvested very early, while "Indica" strains like Afghan Kush are harvested very late.

So Indicas are probably very good for sleeping, but for me personally Sativas make it impossible for me to sleep
