02/18/2004 Archived Entry: "Chemistry"

Internet searches are interesting in how varied they can be. Sometimes you have to be really general in order to find anything and sometimes you have to be very specific to get rid of all the other crap.

Try finding information on mixing drugs and alcohol. The very general search yields a slew of sites talking about drugs and alcohol in general. Add mixing to that and you get sites warning of how dangerous it is to mix things.

I then decided to search for the drug of interest and alcohol and that yielded more warnings. How boring. However, add 'experiences' to that search and you're set.

Ahhh Erowid. So many fun stories to tell. Two hours of reading just flew by.

Some things are really funny to me. Nutmeg? Seriously? Also, 1,4-butanediol?! I used that stuff to make elastomer at Woodbridge Foam. I can't imagine ingesting that stuff - it's a polyol!

I've read the four caffeine "Bad Trips" tales on Erowid, they really are horrible. People took tons and tons (from 9 to a box and a half) of wake-up pills to have a cheap buzz, but each single pill has more caffeine than two large cups of coffee(on the packs, it's written that one or two is the highly recommended quantitiy and that we should never have more that 4 in a single day).

Since it takes a while to be ingested, they think it doesn't work and take dozens more... and, after some time, find themselves having incredible fun during thirty minutes, being hyperactive, laughing, etc.

But then, they become dizzy, their heart beating incredibly fast, they panic and think they're never going back to normal, are 100% sure they're dying, suffer incredible lung and stomach pain, puke, puke puke, pass out, puke, pass out, get really near of dying and finally get their stomach succioned at the hospital while in a semi-comatous state.

It's really horrible... I'll never look at caffeine the same way. Say no to drugs, kid.
