MAO Inhibitors: sedatives, tranquilizers, antihistamines, narcotics, alcohol, amphetamines, mescaline, asarone, nutmeg, macromerine, ephedrine, dill/parsley/wild fennel oil, cocoa, coffee (caffeine-high substances, aged cheese, and tyrosine-containing foods] Nootropics/"Smart Drugs" ------------------------ Centrophenoxine (Lucidril) -anti-aging effects -intelligence booster Choline/Lecithin: -aids in production of acetylcholine -memory-boosting DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) -anti-aging -appetite suppressant -protects neurons from senility degenerative conditions DMAE -assists in some aspects of memory -increases acetylcholine levels Gingko -blood vessel dilators Hydergine (Ergoloid Mesylates) -increases blood supply, oxygen to brain -reduces tired, dizziness -normalizes systolic pressure -increases intelligence -improves mental function -enhances brain metabolism L-phenylalanine -antidepressant -stimulate's the release of your body's appetite-suppressants -improves memory and mental alertness -may increase sexual interest -do not use with MAO inhibitors -amino acid Phenytoin (Dilantin) Piracetam (Nootropyl) -cognitive enhancer -memory improver Propranolol Hydrochloride (Inderal) Sulbutiamine (Arcalion) -improves long-term memory -facilitates wakefulness -speeds reaction time -decreases anxiety Vasopressin (Diapid - Nasal Spray) -helps aid in processing new memories -improves attention, concentration, recall -helps clear your mind when under the influence of other substances -Marijuana & alcohol inhibit the release of vasopressin -Cocaine, LSD, Amphetamines deplete vasopressin -(if you use illegal 'non-smart' drugs, you might want some of this) Vincamine (Oxicebral) -aids in alertness -increases activity Vinpocetine (Cavinton) -memory enhancer Xanthinol Nicotinate Psychedelics/Hallucinogens/Empathenogens/Etc. --------------------------------------------- Hawaiian Baby Woodrose Seeds -usage: 4-6 seeds from a seed pod -eat on empty stomach after removing coating -nausea likely -similar to LSD with less visual effects, 6-8 hrs. LSD -lysergic acid diethylamide-25, acid, cid, sid, lucy in the sky, sugarcubes, blotter, tabs, microdots, windowpaine, etc. -causes hallucinations, altering/distortion of vision, auditory, time, enhancement of sensations, motor difficulties, loss of concentration or consistent thought, pupil dilation (or opposite) -not physically addictive, can be psychologically, though -trip usually averages around 8-12 hours -post-usage effects may include insomnia, jitters, temporary/permanent psychosis, flashbacks, permanent trails, nausea -usage: taken orally or licked, usually on blotter paper, sugarcubes, jello, dropper, also eyeballs -strychnine rumors/myths persist -dosage is usually unknown -150-200 mics usually induces heavy trip -those with heart/physical problems, low tolerance should avoid -set (your idea of what the drug will do / mood) and setting (where you are and who you're with) have a _lot_ to do with the outcome of what LSD does. First time trippers should trip only with people they trust that have tripped before, and in a place where unexpected "bad" things will not happen (police come in, parents, etc). Tim Leary has lots of info on what could be done. Reading his books can only help. Marijuana -cannabis, pot, weed, mj, mary jane, etc. etc. -consumption: joints, bongs, pipes, hash brownies, tea, etc. -produces some distortions, feeling of happiness -when stoned, your eyelids become heavy -we don't really need much more info, do we? Morning Glory Seeds (Ipomoea) -arborescens, carnea, costata, leptophylia, meulleri, murucoides, purpurea, violacea -usage: 5-10 grams -consumption: orally, grind/soak/strain & drink, sprout by soaking -most are chemically treated - can induce nausea, vomiting, diarrhea -effects: trip-like but less hallucinogenic than lsd, 6 hours, less intense MDMA -ecstacy, X, E, XTC -empathenogen -like a combo of LSD and Speed (the 'MA' is methamphetamine) -effects similar to LSD, little or no visual hallucinations auditory/visual/time perception altered, sensations increased, extreme emotional awareness, trips average around 6 hours -XTC many times cause the user to "love" everything. Beware of taking X with people you know little about. (You may end up giving your car keys to your worst enemy). Any touch to your skin (in a sexual sense) feels like heaven, even though sex may be impossible. -usage: pills, caplets, in water -street stuff may contain many different varieties of different substances -much debate over toxicity and neuro-toxicity -set and setting are extremely important, as with LSD -long-term use can result in liver damage Mushrooms (Psilocybin) -Baeocystis (potent), caerulipes (blue foot), coprophila (dung-loving) cubensis (common large), cyanescens (bluing), pelliculosa (conifer) semilanceata (liberty cap), stunzii (stunz's blue legs), amanita muscaria (fly agaric), conocybe smithii (bog conocybe), gymopilus spectabilis (big laughing gym) -never ingest unless positively identified by a mycologist to be non-poisonous -effective dose of dried mushrooms: 1 gram (one or two whole mushrooms) -best taken on an empty stomach -consumption: orally, smoked, tea (water + dried fragments) -effects: trip lasting 6 hours or so, more visual & less auditory than LSD, alters sound-perception though not as radically as LSD -physical effects: liquid breathing, headache -effects occur quicker, generally, than with LSD Nutmeg -usage: 5-20 grams of freshly ground -effects: heavy buzz, promotes lethargy, sleep, nausea, dry mouth, pupil dilation Yohimbe bark -usage: 6-10 teaspoons of shaved bark boiled in water & drank can also be smoked -effects: aphrodisiac (supposedly), perception changes (mild) lasts 2-4 hours, insomnia, nausea possible -rumored to cause longer-term erections in men. cool. ________________________________________________________________________ | | | Software: | |_____________| AcidWarp (IBM) trippy graphics available on many ftp sites AfterDark (Macintosh) essential Macintosh screen-savers Berkeley Systems 2095 Rose Street Berkeley, CA 94709 510.540.5535 The Beauty of Fractals Lab (Macintosh) fractals Beyond Cyberpunk HyperCard Stack (Macintosh) by Mark Frauenfelder, Gareth Branwyn, and Peter Sugarman definitive cybperunk resource The Computer Lab Route 4 Box 54C Louisa, VA 23093 (also available on some ftp sites) Disenfactant (Macintosh) virus protection 510.849.9114 free!
