inb4 the antidrug crusaders of CE come in to berate you

CE is not a good place to ask about this. The people here are grossly misinformed about drugs. Try the bluelight forums or r/drugs for answers that don't suck

I thought it was obvious I was anti abuse at least. I didn't celebrate it. Just said it works. And wanted to see experiences.

Everything is... Okay. I don't care.

Huh? I thought benzos were supposed to be close to phenibut in effect. But phenibut does anything except numb you into "I don't care" status.

IDK why anyone would want to numb themselves that way even if it meant lowering anxiety. Just not worth it becoming a zombie. And I say that as someone with a SHITLOAD of anxiety.

I do phenibut. It definitely takes fear away. It however doesn't numb you. Phenibut engages you, this withdraws you. But both are great for anxiety.

And yeah I agree. Its stupid abusing this but I can see why people do unfortunately. It's easier not to worry than worry.

Withdrawal was a nightmare and was only on them for 8 months, took low doses and eventually I couldnt sleep no matter what. Never take one again, dont play with these things.

Oh, I know. The reason I actually have these two pills is to help me with withdrawals off something else lol. I learned my lesson. Plus, this isn't for me, recreationally. Takes the edge off, but for recreation, I find this boring.

A close friend was suggested he try them for his anxiety.

He felt good at first. Then he noticed his brain wasn't functioning at the same level as before - he hadn't become outright stupid, but he could feel the difference.

Getting off them was multiple months of hell.

Yep. Benzo withdrawals suck. I don't envy anyone who goes through them. My step cousin was literally blue as she was shaking from a seizure during withdrawals.

This is my first time seriously taking a benzo (lorazapam aka Ativan).

Everything is... Okay. I don't care. I'm fine. Slightly tired and my eyes are heavy, but I think I can behave somewhat normal.

Easy to see why this can be abused. At first it seems like an easy way through life. My step moms niece had a major Valium addiction. She was a walking zombie for years. Thankfully she kicked the habit.

I'm going to use my other pill for an extreme situation. Knowing it works.

Anyone ever try these things? Anyone ever develop a problem?

Eh. It's nice for a while, but it tastes foul and you feel uncomfortable afterward. Had it twice a decade ago and never touched it after that.

Uncomfortable? In which way? Never experienced this.

But yes, it's the single, single, single foulest and grossest tasting thing I've ever had. Bleh.

Yeah, I do use it sometimes and find it as a comforting, anxiety easing herb. I also have a lot of experience with Kratom which is similar, but a bit more effective and aids in pain relief, but not 100% legal everywhere. It's easily obtainable except for a rare few states in the US.

Gaba is also an excellent night time supplement and is very relaxing.

Haha, it's interesting seeing other people who know kratom. I'm very familiar with it actually. I've been unfortunately doing it daily for 8 years, and doing around 40 grams a day now for a couple of years. I love the herb, hate my addiction. Going through the process of stopping because I'm going over to a certain south east Asian country where it's illegal. Hence the reason I'm messing around with other stuff. Hoping kava gets me past the first 4-5 days.

It's nice, but as you said, not as nice as kratom. Kratom was so nice that I haven't touched a drink or pot in 7 years. Now it's time to go completely straight.

And I haven't had any success with GABA. Apparently it doesn't really cross the BBB that readily. I do find l theanine good, especially with a coffee. 5 HTP and St Johns Wort made me feel horrible. Valerian root is nice for sleep, but doesn't feel good (nor bad, just makes you sleep).

One that I would highly recommend though is phenibut, if you like GABA. It's GABA with a phenyl ring attached to it, making it easy to feel. Just do some research on it, if you are interested. It's very effective. Widely available and legal everywhere.

Anyone ever bought it before?

There is legit kava you can buy online, where you prepare it traditional island style. But I bought some capsules at a local vitamin store, and wow-y, i feel amazing. It's not like other supplements where hey just make you tired and groggy. I feel super warm and slightly euphoric.

Anyone have experience with this completely legal, widely available herb?

The other three big North American citiies, NYC, Toronto and Chicago, are all known for having many high rise and skyscrapers. Wikipedia shows they are miles ahead of the next city. The skylines are all visually striking and grandiose.

But LA, which is fucking huge, doesn't have many buildings. The skyline looks like an unremarkable medium sized city.

Why is this? Is it natural disasters? West coast having a different city planning mentality? Something else?

That doesn't make sense. If they knew you were quitting. They now have to pay unemployment unless they had just cause 2 fire you

No one knew except my close friends and family. Pretty sure she wouldn't have done it had she known. She would've waited another 2 days.

And any cause to fire me? I took one day off earlier in the week. Which, to inform everyone, was my first day I took off in two years. I never called in sick. Never took a holiday. Taking one day off shouldn't be a valid reason to fire, right?

One more thing. Why would my former employer contest it? Do they get affected by my unemployment? Do they pay me?

At least in the US your former employer has to partially pay into it, so more spiteful companies will fight your claim to it and make up reasons to try and keep you from getting any.

Oh god thats so sweet. Much better than quitting.

If you get let go you can collect unemployment. If you quit you can't. Shouldn't you think of this as a surprise windfall of luck? One final revenge, as it were.

My buddy told me about this. Three questions.

How do I know if I was fired or let go?

Will me travelling overseas be a problem for unemployment?

And finally, are there any downsides to this? There's always something.

I don't think there's a difference between fired and let go. The company can always contest your unemployment by arguing you were removed for doing something illegal, but they'd have to provide evidence. Either way, "let go" is much easier to get unemployment than "fired" because there's no associated cause.

You travelling won't be a problem if you maintain a permanent address in the states, although being able to cash said checks might be hard.

Downsides? None that I know of. This is kind of what unemployment was made for.

Awesome. I'm from Canada but should be the same as the US. I could get my dad to cash the cheques and etransfer me the money. Awesome.

I've worked at this place. Money was good. It was fun. And easy.

But I hated my boss. I hated my boss more than you can ever imagine. I've never felt so much hate in my life.

So I worked there 2 years. I made enough money to go to Thailand and live there a while (maybe for good if I find an opportunity). My flight is next month.

I was going to come in today, and give my two weeks (though I think she would've said "no need for two weeks").

But I wasn't scheduled. My confident told me I was let go. They found someone else (true reason: she hated me as much as I hated her).

I feel crappy. Two years of dreaming of my extravagent exit. And I was let go 48 hours before I can go through with it.

Oh well. I'm going far away from snow in 3 weeks so I ain't that mad.

Anyone else ever in m position? Any good quitting stories? Or getting fired stories?

Lets say your car is broken. It needed oil, which cost 30 bucks.

You take it to the mechanic. He says its your engine. Charges 4000 dollars.

But in reality, he just changed your oil. How would he prove he changed the engine? Because he seems suspicious.

And I don't get your second point. Perhaps the screen wasn't broken and it was a different, cheaper thing.

He charged me 220 to replace my screen.

I'm the skeptical type. I always think they are trying to fuck me. Could've been a quick 30 dollar repair yet he charges 7 times that amount. You can thank car mechanics for my paranoia. They always fuck me.

Anyway I can confirm he replaced a screen when I get my phone tomorrow? Or do I have to take him by his word.

Cursory googling led to this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenibut

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenylacetic_acid

So... off the bat, no, they're different compounds with the beta-butryic acid rocking an extra amide (NH2) functional group. As for how they'll differ when, say, ingested or used in the creation of a different homebrewed substance I have no clue and/or need more specifics.

Awesome. Thanks.

Phenibut is a thing I ingest. Legal pretty much everywhere. But the country I'm going to has phenylacetic acid banned. Got me worried that my supplement my might be illegal.

So in your scientific opinion, they are different chems and should not carry the same legal ramifications?

Thanks again @philsov

Weird question. I know.

Phenylacetic acid and -phenyl--aminobutyric acid (in case that first letter doesn't show, it looks like a capital B with a small tail at the bottom).

I mean technically the second one is phenyl butric (don't know how that differs from acetic) acid.

Are they the same thing or different in terms of chemistry? I know very little.

I read the scheduled drugs list. Literally three times. I could not find phenibut.

Does this mean I could simply bring a container (with a label and all) with white powder across the border?

Or will they fuck me somehow?

If there is literally no (government) site on the internet saying it's illegal, how can they get me?

I do something called phenibut twice a week. Legal and easily available in North America.

I'm going to Thailand.

I want to bring phenibut to Thailand. But also don't want to spend my life in jail for bringing it.

How do I find the legality? Who do I call or ask? I only found one website of a dude saying it's illegal (with no source).

And if it is not scheduled, would they have the power to lock me up just because it's a white powder?

My most favorite is easily the 4. Worst is the 11. I share your dislike :P It just does not look attractive to me.

Oh I love the Motorsports too. Very nice shoe.

Those 6s are good but I wouldn't rock that style personally. I like contrasting colors. I bought the Gatorades last month and love them

I'm hoping someone likes Jordans here. Or else ill just post on NBAB.

Which ones do you like?

I love 6, 7, and 8. That early 90s look was bomb. Top fav is the Olympic colorway of 7. What a sexy and fun shoe.

I don't like 11. I don't get it. It's the most popular one (besides 1) and I just don't get it. Both Concord and Spacejam colorway are so ugly for me.

Some recent ones are kinda cool but Ive never seen any in person.

Edit: this is my favorite shoe of all time

He was always a drinker. That was always the gimmick. But it seemed fine.

Last couple of years, it's fucking sad for everyone but his buddies he drinks with.

He has a respectable job and makes very, very good money. So it's hard to say "get your life in order". He works and works hard.

But he started drinking at work. He drives home in this state. He drinks until bed. Has a beer in the morning with the meds, and repeat.

I don't know what to do. I can't talk to him because he's just so fucking gross. I don't drink, primarily because I think drunk people are pretty gross. Drunk alcoholics are mega gross and insanely sad.

Anyone else have a family member like this? How do you deal with it? My best friend is also an alcoholic (who abuses cocaine) so it's tough to talk to him about it.
