Getting High

disclaimer: I do not encourage illegal behaviors. many drugs have serious risks involved with them. Due to my own stupidity I have woke in the hospital before.

Though many people do not know what they are actually doing, many like to get high. I am a firm beleiver that you should try just about anything you are interested in, but you should have some understanding of effects before you do. There are many classes of drugs, and the worst type of drug is the one taken out of ignorance.

Frequently we use drugs to replace other things or repress feelings of inadequacy, shame, guilt or other emotions. When a person "gets high" they are not "on drugs." I know that sound like it makes no sense, but consider that most drugs do not directly effect you, but stimulate neurotransmitters which then effect you, or blocks off certain receptors.

Things you huff basically cause some sort of asphixiation. Alcohol acts like a synthetic opoid. Caffiene stimulates dopamine among other things. As much as I may know about illegal drugs, I do not want to recreate the wheel. I can tell you that there is information about anything at your fingertips though. I would recomend viewing the Vaults of Erowid or any of our other links for information related to any specific legal or illegal drug.

I actually do have a decent understanding of serotonin, ecstacy, 5htp, and other serotonin related drugs and do consider myself a source of information in this field.
