I posted this on another forum a few months ago:
"Hello all, just thought I'd share my accumulated knowledge with regards to party favours, their after-effects and pre/post party techniques to enhance your experience.
*sits in guru-like stance*
Right, first off, lets tackel one of my two favourite pharmacological aids, LSD
Now I'm pretty sure the majority of you who do dabble dont really do this, and even I, an AVID fan, dont simply because it has become hard to get ahold of.
Just some rules to go by for first-timers should you ever decide to try:
1. RESPECT it, because it may just seem like a tiny piece of paper to you, but in reality, it can be one of the most powerful
experiences you'll ever have.
2. DO NOT try it if any of the following applies to you: You are depressed/stressed/have just lost a loved one/are
mentaly unstable to begin with.
3. DO NOT try it for the first time in a public place like a club (most people I know who do take, dont like doing so in clubs,
too much stimuli, possible chance of freak-outage)
4. DO do it for the first time with people you know and trust in a place you feel comfortable.
5. STRANGERS are a no-no, as the 'Fear' would grip you, making you a paranoid wreck.
6. DO NOT EVER DOUBLE DROP TRIPS!!!! It 'might' be fun, but is worse in the long run.
7. If you are experiencing a trip that is TOO INTENSE, calm yourself buy taking some 5-HTP (Available at Holland & Barret)
8. HAVE FUN
Myths regarding acid:
1. You'll lose touch with the real world... <--- Only is you have LOADS, which is applicable to almost all drugs.
2. Vitamin C or Liquorice will make me come down... <-- Urban myth. They can be given as a placebo to the easily
suggestive (If you believe that it'll make you come down, you may fool yourself into 'coming down')
Thats off the top of me head for that, now for Lil Fellas
Something most who take have tried, I wont get into too much detail with how it works, there are plenty of websites that
can fill you in on that, I just wanna give tips.
1. A HEALTHY DIET can be the most beneficial thing a taker can do. Loads of healthy food, exercise, and multi-vitamins
during the week can make week-ends that much less painful. I'll give a run-down on particularily good food later.
2. 5-HTP (5-hydroxy tryptophan - an amino acid extracted from the seeds of the Griffonia plant - which is available
without prescription and has been shown to be safer and more effective than prescription drugs in treating conditions
associated with low levels of serotonin.) is a clubbers best after-party friend. It kickstarts you serotonin production,
making you less depressed and moody afterwards, and making it a bit easier to get to sleep if you're having trouble.
Keep in mind though, prolonged use will result in your brain producing less to counter-balance the increased amount,
and this could lead to a 5-HTP dependancy for healthy serotonin levels, so do this only when needed.
3. SLEEP is a must. I admit to being a '48 hour' kinda guy, but this is bad in the long term. Your brain really starts with
the serotonin replacement when you are asleep, so staying awake can lead to more unhappiness later.
Your immune system also takes a bashing when you dont sleep, and coupling that with the immune weakening affects
of drugs, you could become VERY susectable to illness.
Now for k00king with kr00, my definitive guide to good eating
Foodstuffs proved to give serotonin production a boost:
Marmite (Spreadable yeast extract for you non UKers)
Complex carbohydrates (Wholeweat bread and pasta)
Brocolli
Cinnamon
Honey
Milk
Turkey (Increases tryptophan absorbsion in the body)
Banana
There are more, but these are the ones I know and use.
Recipes:
Now incoporating the following recipes pre and post party can help soften the blow and increase the fun.
Week before/Week after drink
To be drunk once in the morning and once before going to bed for a week before and after a heavy night.
Milk
Honey
Ground cinnamon
Almost fill a coffee mug with milk. Put in microwave for 2 minutes (adjust time according to mug size, temperature of milk
and wattage of microwave) on High. Add 2 heaped teaspoons of honey (adjust to taste) and stir, letting the honey dissolve.
Finally add some ground cinnamon and stir briskly.
Viola, a decent tasting serotonin boosting health drink, which doubles as a gentle sleep inducer.
Serotonin Shake
Milk/Ice Cream
Honey
Ground cinnamon
Banana
Blend all ingredients to taste to make a great shake.
Now with these drinks included, I would usually ensure that I have large pasta dishes on the night of the party, and on the
night just before.
My first meal directly post party is usually a nice big salad, whic is easy on the teeth, and helps to
replenish water supplies that were lost.
Its also a good idea to have some meals pre and post party that contain fish with omega-3 fatty acids (Sardines, anchovies
and pilchards being the best) which will help with worn joints that get damaged from a nights dancing.
Taking a glucosamine sulphate supplement will also aid joints.
So loads of bananas, marmite sandwiches and any other such foods can only help.
My motto is, 'If I'm going to be so bad to my body on the week-ends, the least I can do is be good to it during the week.'"
Hope that helps
