David Leonard 2022 Good Lord

 2022.9.12: news.wealth/music/psy/schiz/
David Leonard 2022`Good Lord:

. David Leonard's 2022 song, "Good Lord"

could have been about schizophrenia

(about telepathy with our god).

. he is glad to know the god;

but deeply embarrassed about what he has been;

and wishing he could warn others:

the god is easiest on those who have been

good all the time, 

not just good after meeting the god.

go for country gold

20.2.8: co.self/dream/psy/drugs/go for country gold:
[. logging this dream reminded me
life can seem to be of high or low value,
while drugs can make a low life feel high,
without actually providing the core high value of
protecting the community and the future.]

#cancer #depression #Psilocybin the oracle

12.18: news.med/cancer/depression/Psilocybin/the oracle:
. a brain cancer patient who would later die from it
did Psilocybin and it was like an oracle
(here is what is in store for you):
it gave her a very bad experience
but also the message that while life looks bad,
a big part of it is how you look at it:
don't ruin the precious here & now
worrying about the hopelessness of the future.

50g alcohol limit saves only liver

10.18: web.health/50g alcohol limit saves only liver:
One unit of alcohol is 8g (or 10ml) of pure alcohol
( 87.5ml glass of 12% wine [0.37cup]
, 25ml measure of 80 proof liquor
, A half pint of normal strength (4%) beer
). concerning damage to the liver,
the risk begins when regular weekly consumption
exceeds about 30 units per week;
[ 6units *5days per week? ]
-- Royal Colleges recommend two days of abstinence a week .
But for other conditions, like cancer,
the risk starts at once .
. one who drinks 50g (6units) of alcohol per day
[ 2.22 cup 12% wine ]
- has nearly double the risk of stroke,
high blood pressure and pancreatitis
as someone who abstains.

curcumin absorption with piperine or Phytosome

1.21: web.cook/curcumin absorption with piperine or Phytosome:
. some believe black pepper is needed
in order to absorb turmeric's curcumin?
. I once said I was leary of black pepper,
but I researched it again,
and found that pepper's piperine extract
is healthier than whole black pepper .
. another way of absorbing curcumin
is by binding it with phosphatidylcholine .
[6.18: curcumin and MAO-B inhibition:
curcumin may inhibit MAO-B .
"Curcumin (10-80 mg/kg, i.p. in mice) dose dependently
increased serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT)
as well as dopamine levels (at higher doses),
and inhibited MAO-A (and in higher doses, MAO-B)"

teachers DMT & schizophrenia

13: news.psy/Jan Kounen`Other Worlds (Ayahuasca):
. my notes from watching co.youtube#8Recon8
Jan Kounen`Other Worlds (Ayahuasca).

. Ayahuasca is a herbal form of DMT
which can totally separate the mind from body;
the body is a refuge:
a truly free mind can be in hell
just as easily as in heaven;
but the body is there to arbitrate
to mercifully limit experience .

Aquarian's church established in USA

10.29: relig/abstract islam/mecca pilgrimage:
. the mecca in the mind:
we should visit the places
where we have seen g-d's word,
or been touched by the supernatural
in some way .
. that includes using hallucinatory drugs,
like DXM, psilocybin, peyote, and DMT .

. after thinking that, I had to check out
what the mecca pilgrimage was really about .
. I was assuming it was where the Prophet
had seen the Qur'an;
but while that happened in the same lunar month,
the Mecca pilgrimage was actually about
the historic conversion of Mecca,
in the process of doing a counter-assault
after Mecca violated a peace treaty:
literally, the Mecca leadership blamed that defeat
on their god's subordination to Islam's god .

huperzine complements


7.20: news.wealth/things that go good with hup:
a reviewer of huperzine commented:
This is one of the best staples in my regime
for concentration and motivation.
Any effects on mood, I can easily
counteract it with Ashwagandha
or even a cup of coffee.
Great to mix with Pine Bark
for an added mental kick and proper dosing.
My concentration improves some,
and my recall / short term is always 100% sharper.

MAO-A inhibitors in tribulus

7.30: news.wealth/tribulus/
"reversible" Monoamine Oxidase A inhibitor:
. related to dopamine?
Tribulus extracts may contain "reversible"
inhibitors of Monoamine Oxidase A .
forum.lef.org/
www.springerlink.com/
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/

MAO-A can selectively metabolize
adrenaline, noradrenaline, serotonin,
and dopamine to inactive compounds.
Tribulus contains Harmine,
a short-acting, "reversible" MAOI-A inhibitor
The inhibition of MAO-A prevents the degradation of
adrenaline, noradrenaline, serotonin, and dopamine
and the result can be increased mood,
alleviation of depression  and more energy.
High dopamine levels can stimulate the pituitary gland
to release lutenizing hormone (LH)
which leads to an increase in testosterone levels
and thus elevating libido, another mood enhancer.
Harmine is "reversible" because it
does not bind permanently to MAO-A,
thus is not as contraindicated with
tyramine-containing foods (cheese, red wine, etc)
as irreversible MAOI's,
nor does harmine raise levels of tyramine per se
since it allows tyramine to be metabolized.
The short-acting and non-permanency
of it's binding capabilities means that
the anti-depressive effects of harmine
usually cease 24-48 hours after stopping therapy.
. with a half-life of 2.5 hours,
several doses are necessary;
eg 3 * 750 ... 1,500 mg
of standardized 45% steroidal sapponins.
. lef member suggests tribestan .
tribulus at Beyond A Century:

piracetam quality lacking

6.9: web.wealth/piracetam:

summary:
. I've had many leary perceptions of the racetams
as others said their effects were too subtle
to risk spending much money on .
. but I'm very impressed from today's research
that they cleared aging spots in the brain
(levels of lipofuscin in the rat brain).
however
. I was concerned that the FDA doesn't allow
sale of Piracetam in the US as a dietary supplement;
I think that means there is no reason to sell you
USP or Food Grade quality;
everyone can save $hundreds on technical grade,
but what are the contaminant levels?
for instance, my contact for high-grade stuff is
www.awscientific.com:
they'll sell me anything spectrumchemical makes;
but again, when I check spectrum's site,
the EP* grade requires regulatory approval .
* [EUROPEAN PHARMACOPOEIA
europe's equivalent to our verified food grade .]
. the grade being sold on the street is this .

smart drugs summary

Picamilon is said to be a nootropic (smart drug)
but the only truth to that I found was that
standard smart drugs (stimulants) make you anxious
and Picamilon was good at relieving
very high levels of anxiety .

. dopamine enhancers are nootropic:
Mucuna pruriens, 40% L-Dopa. 75 grams powder.
Yohimbe, 8% Yohimbine! Powder, 40 Grams .

. bht can help with sleep, always a smart idea;
but don't forget your vitamin k supp's;
because, bht deactivates your vitamin k,
and that can melt your bones, and calcify your arteries .
. see also my amazon list of performance enhancers .

dreammachines

3.5: web.wealth/dreammachines:

cheapest dream machine is
$129.00 Sirius by Mindplace

When I was in college
in the late '80s
I built something called a Dreamachine
to help me relax in stressful times.
It was invented decades earlier by
Brion Gysin  and Ian Sommerville.

The Dreamachine is a somewhat
primitive antecedent
of the Sirius and other devices like it.
So I hunted around for a flicker rig
and found that the technology had
come a good way along in 20 years.
This is the sort of little machine
that you will have to try for yourself.
Some people find that the
flickering lights make them feel
uneasy or even nauseous,
and if you have any seizure disorder
then this type of thing should be avoided at all costs.
But with those caveats, if this thing does it for you,
you will never want to be without it.
The features are really good considering
that this is basically the lowest priced instrument
you will find of its kind.
What I really purchased this box for
was the ability it offers users to set our own frequencies.
I like to be able to find a frequency that feels good to me
and just leave it there for a while.
The lower frequency ranges actually settle my mind into
sleep-oriented brain wave patterns
and help empty my head of the sort of ruminative thoughts
that keep me from getting the sleep I need.
-- James J. Pyke "Pajkossy" 2009

3.31:
. I was first exposed to a dream machine by
psychologists who were testing me for epilepsy
(because I convulsed after passing out
during a medical procedure).
. the strobe light they used was very bright,
and they would adjust the strobe frequency
until it showed on my EEG
that I was getting alpha wave spikes .
. it caused me to see vivid dreams while awake!
I saw a neon-intense version of a flag
with green and red checkers,
and the letter K floating above it .
. I was so in love, and here it is,
but at $129, I'm worried about the durability .

FUH-cake! psilocybin is almost respectable

Mushroom Wisdom: How Shamans Cultivate Spiritual Consciousness6.17: web.wealth/psilocybin:

17/06/2011 (2000 GMT) bbc world service:
listen:
. the last segment (at minute:46) is
"(what makes mushrooms magic)
about a new study by Roland Griffiths, PhD,
contradicting doctrine by the war on drugs
(he shows psilocybin has therapeutic value).

. the newscaster, Julian Marshall,
was very angry at the end!
(it's barely audible in the replay version).
. well, he always sounds angry,
but he was actually cussing the researcher!
. this is a UK reporter;
and UK law had been strengthened in 2005
to make possession of even unprepared mushrooms
a schedule I offence .

. here is the end of the interview:
JM: think it should be legal for therapeatic uses?
Dr: that would be premature,
we're just know resuming experiments;
regulatory approval would need more scientific data backing it
JM: FUH-cake! (sounding quite like "(ache)
and a certain forbidden 4-letter word ).

. so what was that about?

Dr Griffiths' study in J.Neuropsychopharmacology
. at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine
Dr. Griffiths, is Professor of Behavioral Biology,
Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences,
and, Professor of Neuroscience,
Department of Neuroscience .
. the study was partly funded by the
Council on Spiritual Practices .
Doses were based on body size and were 5 mg, 10 mg, 20 mg,
or 30 mg for every 154 pounds of body weight.
About 40% of study participants, or seven out of 18,
reported feeling extreme anxiety and fear
while they were on the two highest doses of the drug.
Six of the seven, however, experienced the fear while on
the highest dose of the drug.
Only one person reported negative fear effects on the 20 mg dose.
nearly 3/4 of people on the highest psilocybin doses
rated their experiences as mystical, transformative,
and highly beneficial.
graphic details at motherjones:
. 20mg per 70kg body weight was the
optimal dose for persisting positive mood
and increased well-being or life satisfaction .
. best working up from lesser doses
rather than starting with the target dose .

he did a similar study in 2006:
Johns Hopkins neuroscientist Roland Griffiths,
in a landmark 2006 experiment
published in Journal of Psychopharmacology
has 36 volunteers on 30mg psilocybin
who hadn’t previously taken the drug.
-- 30mg is [very]roughly equivalent to five grams
of dried psilocybe cubensis mushrooms .

. That study was the first in 40 years
to test a hallucinogen on people
in a clinical setting in the United States.
Formerly the focus of academic and government inquiry,
hallucinogens were abandoned by researchers
in the aftermath of the Sixties .

2008 psychiatric controls of shrooms

history of Psilocybin law:
The usa law that specifically banned psilocybin and psilocin
was enacted on October 24, 1968.
The latter substances were said to have "a high potential for abuse",
"no currently accepted medical use"
and "a lack of accepted safety".
On October 27, 1970, both psilocybin and psilocin
became classified as Schedule I
-- no known therapeutic benefit --
and were simultaneously labeled "hallucinogens"
under the “Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act”
(section "Controlled Substances Act").
Most national drug laws have been amended to
reflect this convention
(see US Psychotropic Substances Act,
the UK Misuse of Drugs Act 1971,
and the Canadian Controlled Drugs and Substances Act),
with possession and use of psilocybin and psilocin
being prohibited under almost all circumstances,
and often carrying severe legal penalties.
[ in the UK you can get 7 years with the FUH-cakes .]
However,
in many national, state, and provincial drug laws,
there is a great deal of ambiguity about
the legal status of psilocybin mushrooms
and the spores of these mushrooms,
as well as a strong element of
selective enforcement in some places.
Additionally,
there has been a general shift in attitudes
regarding research with hallucinogenic agents .
. after a long moratorium,
many countries are revising their positions
and have started to approve studies to
test their physiological and therapeutic effects .
Magic mushrooms ban becomes law (2005)
. while dried mushrooms were illegal
fresh mushrooms were not;
The [UK] Drugs Act 2005 ends that loophole
and makes them a class A [usa`schedule I] drug

Exceptions will be made for people who
unknowingly pick the mushrooms in the wild
or find them growing in their garden,
and critics have argued
that the act will be difficult to police.

. use of the fungi has risen 40% in a year:
2002/03: 180,000
2003/04: 250,000
-- especially since the internet age,
and 400 "headshops" around the country.
. the vast majority of mushrooms sold [in 2005]
came from mushroom farms in Holland.
The law change does not affect
Fly Agaric (Amanita muscaria)
another, much more rarely used magic mushroom .
paddos in the netherlands
. risk assessment for paddos (mushrooms)
containing psilocin and psilocybin .
. the [Amsterdam] Coordination Centre
for the Assessment and Monitoring of new drugs .

. psilocybin and its metabolite psilocin
can be found in Psilocybe ssp.
Psilocybe semilanceata, Psilocybe cubensis,
Conocybe, Panaeolus and Inocybe, ...)
-- Psilocybe, is easily confused with
the highly nephrotoxic Cortinarius spp .

. of those under 24 who had tried it,
50% had done so only once or twice;
most youth are into socialable party drugs,
not religious experiences .
. regular users wait 3 weeks between doses
due to drug tolerance .

Amsterdam and the border regions
contain a relatively high number of
grow shops, and head shops,
in addition to smart shops,
esp'ly in the Red Light District .

. the sale of paddos makes up
50% of smart shops turnover.
--[ it appeared from their vague language
that this had to do with its being illegal;
ie, it was the shops themselves -- not the product --
that was turning over! ]

. biological variation of the active ingredient
is between 1% and 3.5% (usually higher in wilds,
and inactivated at temperatures above 50°C).
Usual dose is 1 gram of dried mushroom
= 10 grams of fresh mushrooms;
. approx. 6 – 12mg of psilocybin
is the typical hallucinogenic dose .
[6.18:
. according to the recent study, this might
simply be a safe starting dose for a batch
since the potency is so varied .]

. it causes an increase in serotonin in the brain
and a temporary reduction in
noradrenaline, dopamine and histamine.
. sideaffects:
. dilated pupils, loss of balance,
parestheses (pins and needles all over the body),
muscle relaxation, accelerated heartbeat,
dry mouth and nausea.
Psychological symptoms:
. many hallucinogenic compounds can cause
long-forgotten memories to resurface
and leave a deep impression on users.
[. the long-term psychiatric complaints
"(flashbacks, panic attacks)
are consistent with schiz'ia;
ie, the people who are smart eno' to
keep their schiz'ic delusions a secret
(involuntary thought broadcasting? loser!)
will complain only of flashbacks, panic,
anxiety or depression .]

Adrenergic blockers (such as neuroleptics and propanol)
generally act as imperfect antagonists.

here is an anonymous drug sales network:

the transactions are done in Bitcoins,
a potentially anonymous online currency .
To avoid seizures Silk Road recommends
using vacuum packing
