List of Psychoactive Lichen

I was browsing some forums when i came across some talk about psychoactive lichens, nature really puts drugs in everything....

This post is mostly copy paste, but should have all the major info more or less organized, i tried to get pictures of most species, when in doubt i prefer to not post pictures, so forgive me for the missing ones. I highly recommend you read the forums on the bottom of this post

Parmelia family syn. Xanthoparmelia

Whole family active as sedatives?

They all contain usnic acid, an antimicrobial that has been used as a weight-control medication. Usnic acid is toxic to elk, and in humans it is reported to induce liver toxicity after prolonged oral use and/or very large doses.

Best bet would be to find what the active substances are (can we remove the usnic acid?), and make an extract - "lichen hash". Here's several articles on usnic acid.

Parmelia conspersa

Traditionally used by the Pima and Papago of South Arizona and North-West Mexico.

Ginkgo reports that the effects are similar to cannabis, although not quite. Effects lasts maybe two hours, and not very potent.

there are reports that it is highly active and on par with good cannabis

Contains usnic acid, salazinic acid, stictic acid and norstictic acid.

The Dermorphin Frog

Most people know about bufus alvarius, a 5-meo-dmt containing frog, but what about Phyllomedusa bicolor? This guy almost get's me high just from looking at him!

This frog contains Dermorphin, Dermorphin is a hepta-peptide first isolated from the skin of South American frogs belonging to the genus Phyllomedusa. The peptide is a natural opioid that binds as an agonist with high potency and selectivity to mu Opioid receptors. Dermorphin is about 30–40 times more potent than morphine but theoretically may be less likely to produce drug tolerance and addiction (due to its high potency).

New ‘Google’ for the Dark Web Makes Buying Dope and Guns Easy

Knowing how to navigate the dark web searching for illegal items is a hard skill to acquire, but that just became easier, the dark web just got a little less dark with the launch of a new search engine that lets you easily find illicit drugs and other contraband online.

Grams, which launched last week and is patterned after Google, is accessible only through the Tor anonymizing browser (the address for Grams is: grams7enufi7jmdl.onion) but fills a niche for anyone seeking quick access to sites selling drugs, guns, stolen credit card numbers, counterfeit cash and fake IDs — sites that previously only could be found by users who knew the exact URL for the site.



“I noticed on the forums and reddit people were constantly asking ‘where to get product X?’ and ‘which market had product X?’ or ‘who had the best product X and was reliable and not a scam?’” Grams’ creator told WIRED in a chat session. “I wanted to make it easy for people to find things they wanted on the darknet and figure out who was a trustworthy vendor.”

Marijuana and alcohol - To mix or not to mix

Most of us mix alcohol and marijuana, actually, we mix alcohol with everything most of the times... I would say that's a foolish thing to do, but let's use science to formulate an opinion!

In the first study data suggests that ethanol may increase the absorption of THC resulting in an increase in the positive subjective mood effects of smoked marijuana. 

So you get higher and faster than with cannabis alone! If that's desired and as long as you know the risks is a good enough reason to mix both substances. But remember both have very different effects, and while alcohol potentiates the THC high, you will also feel alcohol effects.

The second study found that adolescent rats under the influence of ethanol and THC were less likely to explore than those under the influence of either ethanol or THC alone. The same study also found that adult rats given the ethanol/THC combination had more trouble remembering new objects compared with adult rats given either drug alone

25c-NBOH - effects overview

25-C-NBOH (2C-C-NBOH, NBOH-2CC) is a derivative of the phenethylamine derived hallucinogen 2C-C. It has similar serotonin receptor affinity to the better-known compound 25C-NBOMe

Just leaving some quick info about 25c-NBOH effects, expect a more detailed post later

Findings from reading Trip Reports:

• very visual, little mind fuck, visuals are a bit boring (strong but boring)
• 500ug is a low dose, 1000ug a high dose and 750ug probably a medium dose
• it hits quickly (30min or so) and lasts 4-5h (buccal dosing)
• emotionally neutral (aka doesn't cause anxiety nor euphoria)
• possible but rare bodyload (nausea, vasoconstriction, excessive stimulation)
• felt fine next day
• overal if you consider the price it's not that bad, but there are better substances around both for people looking for something with low mind fuck and good visuals (for example 4-ho-met) and for people that want both the psy headspace and visuals

Pluto's Hidden Ocean

Sub-surface oceans in the Solar System may be far more common than we’ve realized. We’ve grown used to contemplating water under the ice of Europa, but similar oceans may well exist on Ganymede and Callisto, and there are signs of a possible ocean beneath Titan, not to mention the unusual activity we continue to observe on Enceladus.

This is fascinating, but i was caught completely off-guard when i found a paper proposing a subsurface ocean on pluto! There are a bunch of articles regarding this in lots of science websites, as usuall i will just leave you the full paper!

Sea DMT - Psychedelic Sponges

I found an interesting article on sea sponges containing high concentrations of 5-bromo-DMT as well as some human bioassays ("trip reports") from those who have tried synethtic 5-bromo-DMT. Their reports are incredibly interesting. I wonder if you can take it orally, or if not, orally with an MAOI?

Some speculate this is perhaps the reason behind the hallucinogenic fish poisoning reports from the Sarpa sarpa species back in 2006.

Prepare yourself for a very interesting read!

Tails - The Amnesiac Incognito Live System

When you log on to a computer, you may not want to leave a bunch of files, cookies, or your IP address out there for someone to find. It might seem extreme, but sometimes it's a good idea to take these precautions.

In this post, we'll introduce you to tails, the operating system that allows you to anonymize, encrypt, and hide everything you do on a computer no matter where you are. When we say "browse without leaving a trace", we truly mean it. Using the Linux-based, live-boot operating system Tails (The Amnesiac Incognito Live System), you can use any computer anywhere without anyone knowing you were ever on it. Tails is a portable operating system with all the security bells and whistles you'll ever need already installed on it. You can install Tails on one of your many dust-gathering USB drives or a DVD.

What Tails Is and What's Packed Into It

The magic of Tails is that you don't have to do a lick of work: once you create your boot disc you'll have a completely anonymous, totally private operating system preloaded with all the software you (or James Bond) would need. What's packed into it?

Once you create your Tails boot disc, you'll be ready to reboot your computer into an encrypted and private operating system preloaded with all the software you'll need to browse the web, email, IM, and edit documents. Regardless of whether you choose a DVD or USB nothing you do is left on the computer you booted from

BK-2CB Trip report

I've been curious about bk-2cb, but there haven't been many trip reports, i was surfing bluelight and found this, i definitely am interested in trying this some day!

"Having previously experienced this compound at an oral dosage of 130mg, I had been left somehow underwhelmed. A slight entactogenesis, enrichment in sound, taste, and smell, somehow brighter colours, minimal patterning on the pavement was all there had been. However, escalation of dosage to 200mg changed the set of things dramatically..

Now, I've done a hearty array of psychedelics/dissociatives including, but not limited to, mushrooms, Ayahuasca, cacti, yopo, Ipomoea, Hawaiian baby woodrose, LSD, DXM, mexphenidine and smoked DMT,among others. I'm mentioning that in order to provide the reader with the understanding of the relative background against which the effects of substance in question, bk-2C-B, will be compared.

So, after an abstinence form food for 6 hours, 200mg of the sticky white powder was placed in the gelatine capsule and swallowed. The reasoning behind encapsulating the compound was the theory that bk-2C-B forms dimers when in neutral and basic solutions, rendering the compound inactive - so that simply dissolving the powder in a glass of water and gulping it would not be the best route of administration. As previous experience with the given substance had left me with a somehow annoying cough, a preventive measure was taken: an antihistamine claritine,5mg, was ingested, and a fixed mixture of beta-adrenomimetic/corticosteroid was inhaled. This proved beneficial, in retrospect.
