Because that shit will fuck you up. For life. It's scary how so many of the really dangerous recreational drugs are so easily available while the arguably-less-harmful (and, yes, all drugs have potential for harm) are completely illegal.

lsd my beloved :( ostracised because they had to put hippies in prison for something. schedule I with no medical uses my ass too, that ban stopped every ongoing research into how lsd could help in psychiatry, and though research wasn't finished it sure as hell didn't look like it was useless. The US drug enforcement administration lied in nearly every single part of their statement following the ban
US Government: "A substance that makes people more empathetic? This could destroy the American way of life!"
bruh you have no idea how correct you are on that
"By the mid-1960s the backlash against the use of LSD and its perceived corrosive effects on cultural values resulted in governmental action to restrict the availability of the drug by making use of it illegal.[29]"
now let's all have a sit down and think about the state of the "cultural values" if feeling love towards your fellow human beings, and jamming to music is somehow corrosive to them... just- i have no idea how people fell for that bullshit
Quick LSD anecdote: LSD literally reminded me what actual happiness feels like. I've struggled with depression for much of my life and had a stretch of about a decade where my mood never rose above the level of "meh" and was often much worse than that. LSD filled me with joy and allowed me to feel happiness again even after I came back down.
For that reason I will forever be an LSD advocate.
I love the “afterglow” of psychedelics. It’s one of the main reason I take them. They have changed so many lives and I can’t wait to see how widely accepted they are in the future.
Its crazy how stuff like this is legal and teens used to go to gas stations to buy shit like k2 and saliva.
Teens buy saliva nowadays? Idk, maybe it's my advancing millennial age, but why would anyone buy saliva? Blech 🤢

Here's the nursing school pharase for anticholinergic side effects: Can't see, can't pee, can't spit, can't shit. Doctors tend to use: red as a beet, dry as a bone, blind as a bat, mad as a hatter, hot as a hare, full as a flask.
If going through that just to also be able to hallucinate sounds appealing to you, go for it.
just eat some psychedelics like a normal person the worst those can do is shatter your image of self and then rebuild it, oh and sometimes your muscles can ache a little afterwards because flexing them felt amazing
I think it should be pointed out that some traditional psychoactive drugs (such as datura) work the same was (they're potent anticholinergics) and you'd have to be nuts to use them.
Scopolamime is a deleiriant not a hallucinogen, it is not fun or recreational at all, don't do it kids
Not a psychedelic*. It very much is a hallucinogen.
Any advice on getting decent info for someone considering beginning that particular journey?
As an alternative to psychedelics, you can reach the same states through meditation. With modern techniques you won't even need to sit under a tree for 49 days.
technically you can but that's going to take you roughly 100 times longer and might not work at all

Well, here's some personal experience.
Back in my teens, I had a nasty bout of sinus issues, stemming from allergies.
This was in the late eighties, and Benadryl was pretty much what everyone had. It was the default antihistamine.
So, with my dad at work, and my mom needing to handle shit, I just grabbed some supplies and holed up in my room.
Took a dose and then napped. Woke up, took the next dose, napped again.
This cycle continued for two days. Or so I thought.
I woke up at one point with he-man leaning out of the screen of the TV and talking some crazy shit. The walls were breathing, and the rug on the floor was crawling away.
Now, I don't know how long I lay there just watching everything wiggle and squirm into and out of other dimensions, but my mom got home and brought me the drink I had asked for. She had left about three hours before.
To my best estimate, I took something like eight or ten of the damn things. I know I took at least six. There were two pills to a dose, and I could remember taking three doses for sure, but there were five of the blister packs empty, one of which might have been taken by my dad the week before, nobody could remember if it was from that box or the other we had. During all the dosing and sleeping, I thought it was days, and that makes the five doses a decent likelihood.
It was. . . Interesting.
For several days, I was loopy as hell. Not high, just kinda floating through life. And my dreams were even crazier than usual (I've always had intense dreams, still do) for about a week
Benadryl and wu-tang have that in common, they ain't nothing to fuck with.
Do not fuck with benadryl. Do not even take it for allergies.
Eh one every now and then is fine, I take it for motion sickness when going on long car rides. Half a pill is enough. Then again, taking enough to get nightshade-like poisoning is really not recommended.
Long term use has now been linked to neurological issues, it crosses the blood brain barrier. However, yes occasional use is relatively safe. But it is not recommended as a daily antihistamine at all these days.

Take 50 of them and you'll be seeing the god you believe in
Shit, you'll see the gods, they don't believe in.
Been taking this stuff most of my life for allergies, can confirm it does exactly none of that lol.
Not at the medicinal dose. I think you need to eat like a whole insert of pills.
25, also don't. It's legit one of the craziest trips I've ever had and it's highlighted by the fact that nearly everyone that does it will tell you it was crazy and powerful but don't do it.
No one should spend multiple hours having full on conversations with people that aren't there, it's deeply unpleasant to watch from the outside and I've been on both sides.

Say hello to hatman if you seem him
I had it for allergy issues, particularly when I was a kid. I never experienced anything like the listed symptoms
Yeah that's because you took it as directed like you're supposed to
Does Benadryl affect people differently? I've been taking this all my life, and all it does is stop my allergic reactions and put me to sleep. Some people are talking like they dropped acid.
A "recreational" dose is somewhere around 300 to 600 mg. Note, that it is definitely not a fun experience.
holy shit, those are only 10mg, I cut them in half for the dog during pollen season.
And has to be absolute murder on your kidneys

I get the opposite from sleep. I wake up as if I took a stimulant. I get nervous, anxious, and energetic. I hate taking Benadryl.
You got to take them with robo to unlock the game's achievement though.

The amount of people in here thinking that this happens on a prescribed dose for some other people is concerning
It enhances sleep deprivation. A 100mg dose on 36 hours no sleep will likely reveal the shadow people, a 50 mg dose on 48 hours no sleep will very likely reveal the shadow people, a 25 mg on 72 hours no sleep will almost definitely reveal the shadow people... if they haven't already revealed themselves.
You do not want to meet the shadow people. Not because they are exceptionally creepy, but because it probably means some amount of brain damage, and they will never completely go away after.
I saw a giant shadow duck driving southbound I5 about 3 hours south of San Francisco. (30~ hours awake)
Shame about the brain damage i guess.

I used to hang out on the dph subreddit and it was one of my favorite drug subs. A little bit depressing because of the side effects and how many of them had already suffered significant brain damage though.
I miss the drug subs like /dph or /heroin. I read them for years since these very much interest me— there’s so much of the human experience I will never try— but I fear permanent side effects and am not much of the drug type anymore. If only I could try it and rewind time with the memories intact.
Plus the dph memes are great.
Safe?
Ahh this reminds me of pink nightmares by infected mushroom.
