TLDR; participants with cocaine history were administered caffeine IV. At high doses (300mg) they reported some mild euphoria, and a strange taste and/or smell. Ask HN: aside from caffeine, what is the drug of choice around here?

Arrogance

That's the good stuff!

I experience a chalky scent from high dose caffeine pills. I don’t think the taste is unique to the intravenous caffeine.

Are they pure or adulturated with calcium? Most of the caffeine pills I've spotted are not just caffeine and I think this is the chalkiness you would be experiencing.

They’re pure as far as I know. Would calcium be listed as an ingredient?

THC containing gummies, once a week, for music enhancement before bed. Tangential details... The 2018 hemp farm bill allows products to have up to 0.3% THC, but it took years for people to realize that gummies are hefty enough that 0.3% means a gummy can have 10-20mg of THC. So, at the ripe age of 57 I finally tried THC. It was very frustrating because most of the good stuff I expected didn't happen: no euphoria, no…

I’m surprised you do it before bed! I find that especially with edibles, using thc too close to bed makes me sleep deeply but wake up groggy. Typically I need an afternoon nap the next day. I believe thc fucks with REM.

Food is totally unchanged for you? Wild! What about movies/tv?

It’s very unlikely they’re pure caffeine. If it’s a pressed pill (versus a capsule) they’re definitely not. It needs binders to hold it together.

Coffee enemas are apparently an influencer thing right now.

Whenever I hear something like this my first thought is that it's some stupid TikTok "challenge" that's intended to get people to humiliate/injure themselves on camera for the lols.

Low dose dextro-amphetamine for ADHD in everyday life, weed for music and various other enjoyment, only occasionally. Alcohol and whatever nose-friendly stimulants are available for parties. Psychedelics at most annually(ideally 2C-B or (1p-)LSD, but I've tried a whole host of different ones) for deep contemplation and introspection.

Watching my brother destroy his life with Heroin has kept me away from opioids for the most part, but I don't like the way they make me feel anyway.
