#22"It did have a moreish quality that could trigger compulsive redosing for some users, but it was also easy to get." What an odd way of saying that it's addictive.
I heard it was a variety they have in southern Spain that is particularly morish.

#23surprised it's not being used in war Soviets/Russia came up with a whole bunch of abusive drugs to deal with cold and exhaustion (racetams, etc) Sometimes I go read the WADA banned list just to see what people are messing with (cathinones and derivatives already banned by WADA) A lot of the stuff comes out of horse racing
There are so many drugs used in wars. In addition to the standard stimulants and painkillers, some Russian soldiers in Bucha were using ED pills (viagra) in their campaign to denazify elderly people and children.
In 2014, the U.S. military distributed almost $85 million of Viagra to their ranks. More than 100,000 prescriptions to active-duty soldiers. I get what you are implying but there is usually a rational reason when armies are distributing ED medication.

#24> “Stories come tumbling out, not because you can’t stop talking about yourself, but from an earnest yearning to share authentically and be received, while simultaneously promoting deeper listening and presence.”
In this age of turning away from network media and embracing video podcasts, this seems like something some talk show host would offer—coffee? Water? Chatty drugs?

#25No, it’s just another designer drug and not a particularly new one. If you want a productivity drug there are more effective, more studied alternatives. If you want a party drug then you should probably take whatever is at the party. I think half of this article is selling fomo to people that haven’t been to ‘those parties’
Re: Has the New Cocaine Arrived?
#26I was amused by the compulsively positive way this article is written. I don't think I've had read about "falling in love" with a designer drug or about "chemsex enthusiasts" before.
All good, let people do what they want to do, but no downsides at all, even for the other drugs mentioned?
Cocaine's problem is "the irritation", Ecstasy has too much of a "hard comedown"? And all of them are addictive, but that's just a "potentially fatal flaw"?
Interesting parallel universe you got there.
Oh and:
> Perhaps it will turn out to be like MDMA, which saw its recreational market explode after being banned. So far, 3-MMC’s supply chains, which trace back to industrial labs in China and India, have held steady. With its irresistible mix of pleasure and productivity, 3-MMC might just be the drug for our time.
Illegality? Details, details...

#274-MMC / Mephedrone is one of the most useful compounds for researching the phenomenology of bliss

#28What is its mechanism of action?

#29"you can’t stop talking about yourself, but from an earnest yearning to share authentically". Well, that killed it for me. Talking? Honestly? Dear lord, no.
I know, and worse yet, LISTENING. Ugh. /s

I had this exact phrasing ready to paste in the comments. I do wonder if it's describing doing more of it in the moment, rather than over time.
Yeah. Addiction is usually long-term. Compulsive redosing is taking another unplanned dose of the drug while still high.
