Nitrous oxide abuse is really dangerous > Hi Everyone, > I have quite probably taken more Nitrous (at least in Whippit form) than anyone else alive. So I feel compelled to share with all of you - my experience. Read more: https://www.bluelight.org/xf/threads/nitrous-oxide-experienc...
Glad you're still here to share your (mis)adventures, the streets here are littered with those little silver 'bullets', I thought we had a problem, now I'm just wondering where you live...

"5 years spent as a rich junkie must be worth a lifetime as a 9-5 cubicle worker." This claim demands great evidence.
In theory if you value variety of experiences than 5 years as junkie may be better outcome than the a desk job. Most people don't value variety all that much which is why 9-5 workers are lot more common than perpetual travellers etc.
Dissociatives (e.g., ketamine, nitrous oxide, xenon, phencyclidine, dextromethorphan in cough syrup) are too addictive, too pleasurable, and reliably produce long-lasting delusional states (e.g., as observed in John C. Lilly and Marcia Moore and Tony Hsieh). It is disturbing to read Marcia Moore's "Journeys Into the Bright World" ( http://pdf.textfiles.com/books/journeysbrightworld.pdf ) where she recounts that John…
>On the other hand, there are other classes of psychedelics that are unambiguously good: tryptamines (e.g., psilocybin) and phenethylamines (e.g., mescaline). I don't know that I would necessarily classify hallucinogenic psychedelics as unambiguously good. I suspect the potential negative effects are understudied and under reported. Beyond hallucinogen persisting perception disorder (admittedly rare), medium-long ter…

> No-fault means what?
I believe they are referring to half of all assets going to your spouse without a prenuptial agreement even if there was a good reason for divorce.

I know people who got fucked up for years due to a single shroom or LSD trip. Some of them got sorted out eventually, others didn’t.
Anecdotally, After my one and only use of Psilocybin where I cried for about 5 hours straight, I did not feel the desire to do it again.

I think your generalizations are very wrong. Ketamine may be bad when abused, but when used correctly for depression, it can be extremely effective and good. It changed my life greatly, for the better. And I wouldn’t say that psilocybin is unequivocally good either. The worst trip I ever had was on mushrooms. It was extremely traumatic in a way that had lasting effects. It changed my life greatly, for the worse.
But it can also cause powerful and disturbing psychosis. In our case, I woke up at knife point to someone driven to tears by a psychosis telling them to kill me. I managed to de-escalate that without any harm done, but suffice it to say, caution is strongly advised with such things.
This Zappos article is like the whole catalog of rich people problems in a nutshell: drugs, parasitic relationships, arrests, and dumb accidents. I know some people who know people who made a lot of money in the 2000s dot com boom. One of them got a "guru" who he paid several thousands of dollars a day to. The "guru" fed him Ayahuasca and people who visited the rich guy at his house said he had removed all furniture…
> They often say that there's no one more hopeless than a rich junky. If they have a very large amount of money, they never hit rock bottom until they're dead. She’s fortunately still alive, but when I divorced my ex-wife over her substance abuse, she walked away with ~$1M in cash. It took three years of partying, but she finally ran out of money, hit rock bottom, went to AA, and is actually looking for a job. It was…
