With some democrat support

Most useless political party of all time

They have zero chance of getting anywhere in America so I don’t really care about their negatives. I voted up and down the ballot for them last election.

The democrats are never going to learn (good billionaires! Let’s pivot further to the right!) so a stinging loss it is. They and their blue MAGA vote blue no matter who idiot supporters deserve to lose.

I mean look at them right now. They can’t even do the bare minimum and obstruct everything like the republicans do. Totally fucking useless.

Apocalypse gestures broadly

Yeah, that’s a reference to Bernie’s base.

It’s too bad people downvoted you because that’s genuinely what they (the evangelicals - not all Christians) believe

Happy birthday Bowie! Hope you get all the treats!

The tech stuff is above my pay grade but essentially my understanding is the code is open source and one could start their own server on the platform theoretically but no one does

And yeah, a “federated” (but not in practice) Twitter clone

The non consensual part would be my poor eyes seeing it but I’m not on Bluesky because it’s a corporate imitation of federation

And I’m not the biggest fan of the authoritarian communists / the MLs. But they killed the most Nazis and I’ll never stop respecting that.

I don’t know enough about poppers other than it makes your asshole relax which is why it’s popular amongst gay men. But I’m a woman and not into that. I think one of the risks is not realizing you’ve damaged your asshole during a long bout of anal sex. And injuries during anal sex can be fatal due to infections and what not. But I didn’t know of direct risks because I’ve never had any interest to partake.

As for salvia, similar. Never had an interest because I heard it’s like a five minute nightmare and then it’s over. Why would I want to do that? But yeah, if you’re gonna do it stick with smoking the natural herb, rather than something derived from it. With a lot of natural drugs it’s the derivatives that cause trouble. Opium is addictive, but heroin is even worse. Coca leaves are addictive, but cocaine is even worse. And that’s assuming 100% purity and not being cut with anything for profit or more addictiveness.

Also I disagree with you re MDMA. There’s three risks: one, not getting legitimate drugs. Two, serotonin syndrome (I got that once, from presumably bad drugs). Three, being so thirsty you drink too much water and die from a lack of salt. That was more common during the rave scene of the 90s, I don’t know if just chilling with MDMA not in a dance club environment would do the same. Also the comedown sucks. A lot.

I agree with you that occasional experimentation with legitimate drugs is mostly not harmful. But mixing drugs or doing them regularly outside of a small handful of ones that have been proven mostly safe will take its toll on the body, especially when one doesn’t have a fully developed brain yet.

Yeah. It’s curious. If they really didn’t want him around they wouldn’t of made him dnc chair. I also think the democrats of the late 2000s were slightly less corrupt than todays democrats, which isn’t saying much.

In one word: corruption. The mayor is corrupt and now that he’s playing nice with trump re rounding up migrants the prosecutors were told to drop the case (iirc it’s federal) and they resigned instead.

You know the Mexicans make way better food than whatever the fuck these long pigs make.

IIRC wasn’t dean made dnc chair at some point after? Maybe around the time of Obama? I feel like he was the one behind the winning 50 state strategy but I’m going purely on memory here…

Edit: for the amount of brain injuries I’ve had somehow my political memory works a little too well. Dean was indeed chair of the DNC before Obama became president and pursued a 50 state strategy to get Obama elected.

Vaping isn’t safer than smoking, that’s a lie from big tobacco.

Vaping weed carts (especially one that’s made of synthetic cannabinoids / black martlet in an illegal state) vs smoking a joint of actual weed that’s been around forever? Joint is likely safer.

Even in legal states (and I know you’re not in one based on going after a synthetic which isn’t even available in legal states because the Republican donating charlatans don’t operate in legal states) vaping vs smoking is like drinking 12oz of vodka instead of 12oz of beer. Most distillate is around 80% THC purity (I prefer live rosin myself), most weed in dispensaries is around 15-25% THC but maxes out around 30%.

You look at historical significance but don’t know much about amanita muscaria? I’m calling bullshit.

7-Hydroxymitragynine

Addictive.

DXM

Causes brain damage

Nitrous

Brain damage

Mugwort

IIRC this is poisonous

Ketamine

Causes bladder problems

Opium

Problem is finding it unadulterated

Mescaline/2C-B

Mescaline is fine, but get it from one of the cactuses that produce it. Not knowing how is a skill issue, the info is out there. I grow cactuses that contain mescaline - I know how to process it but never have. Figured it’s one of my “end of the world” drugs. I’d worry about getting unadulterated 2cb online and also look what it did to Kanye. Dudes a fucking disaster.

THCP

No no no. Do not do garbage bootleg synthetic cannabinoids. Get regular weed like a normal person. If I can still get high after being a pothead for almost 20 years you have no excuse. This is just the idiocy of being young and completely disregarding danger. ALL SYNTHETIC CANNABINOIDS ARE NOT TO BE TRUSTED AND ONLY EXIST BECAUSE OF THE 2018 FARM BILL LEGALIZING HEMP. A BUNCH OF REPUBLICAN DONATING CHARLATANS RUN THE COMPANIES THAT PRODUCE THESE UNTESTED SYNTHETIC CHEMICALS WHILE BLOCKING ACTUAL LEGALIZATION.

Amanita Muscaria

Poisonous mushroom used by Northern European shamans by drinking deer piss (the deer eat the mushrooms). Causes delirium and is dangerous in higher doses.

You’re extremely overconfident and undereducated. And I believe based on your obsession with drugs and mention of ARFID that you’re autistic.

Welp, brain doesn’t stop developing till about 25 so the more drugs used more often the worse the long term effects from brain damage.

Everything in moderation whether it’s chocolate or dxm or whatever lol.

My friends constantly pester me for taking a “dark path”, and every argument I make to try to object to that results in me being called some form of disabled, or immature, or stupid. One outlier online even called me multiple slurs, claiming my actual mental disorders are also completely fake.

Those people aren’t your friends.

I’m the only one who’s done DXM, for instance, and I constantly read about new things to try.

Frequent DXM causes brain damage. It’s one thing if you do that a handful of times a year, another if you do it weekly. Kinda like MDMA (although unrelated but same concept). Opium and heroin aren’t safe, not because of the inherent lack of safety (though they’ve always been known to be very addictive) but because the drug war makes the product likely cut with fentanyl or worse. So unless you’re growing and processing your own opium poppies, not safe.

Drugs are a human right. I have a right to determine what goes in my body, and I’ve been exceptionallycareful, thanks to the help I was never given. I helped myself. I was suicidal, I pursued DIY psychedelic therapy, and now I find myself on a journey that I couldn’t be happier with.

Yes, drugs are a human right. Psychedelics get a bad rap due to propaganda but are mostly safe when done thoughtfully.

Perhaps more science than I’ve provided already will be enough. Maybe the two week break I’m on will satisfy them. Maybe I should spell it out–their drugphobia, and unwillingness to accept different viewpoints, or consider my history, strongly mirrors homophobia and transphobia.

More science doesn’t work on people who go on vibes rather than facts. And drug phobia hardly mirrors homophobia and transphobia. People don’t choose to be queer, but they choose to do drugs. This is a non sequitar the two concepts are not related.

Your commentary on alcohol is a long running one in the weed community. Alcohol is not safe and is essentially poison but not only is it socially acceptable, there seems to be an evolutionary reason for it as other animals are also drawn to partaking in it and they don’t have our human concerns. Letting fruits rot a little before consuming just to get a buzz. And you realize why alcohol is acceptable, when you write about weed, it’s because it’s not taboo anymore. And weed isn’t harmless! Plenty of people worsen their mental health, end up with digestive issues, and occasionally go schizo. And I say that as a pothead for half my life. Supposedly straight nicotine isn’t harmful in itself, but the methods to consume it mostly are.

I’m angry, and it’s caused by the very people claiming to “help” me. They aren’t helping. They’re outright berating and slandering me, and at this point, I’m considering simply dropping them.

You should drop them because they’re not your friends.

You’re mostly right, but you’re wrong to act like drugs are harmless just because socially acceptable ones are measurably worse. And you’re wrong to conflate being against using drugs with being against queerness. You can do whatever the fuck you want with your body but you can’t demand people to accept it.

Also, this reads like you’re young, and factually the brain doesn’t stop developing till about 25 or so. If you’re younger than that you should be more careful as brain damage is real and you can’t get back what you lose.
