Understanding the possibility of withdrawal symptoms and learning strategies to manage them can help ease the THC detox. Cannabis can create dependencies in people who use it heavily for long periods. When a person’s body becomes used to receiving […]

An alcohol addiction gene test will mainly have to seek out the polymorphism in the genes that affect alcoholism. A potential test also has to detect the epigenetic changes that can lead to the disorder. Although much of the evidence shows that alcoholism is genetic, genetics only plays half a role. Studies suggest that nearly […]

“It’s not extremely promising for the potential of microdosing without saying that it doesn’t work at all,” Erritzoe said. Other species mentioned were Liberty Caps (Psilocybe semilanceata) and Atlantis truffles (the sclerotia of Psilocybe atlantis). Interestingly, some of the more advanced microdosers reported that they’ve found that some strains and species make them more tired […]

Once the shrooms have been cleaned, they can be laid out on the dehydrator trays or on top of the piece of paper. Make sure there’s plenty of room between them — none of the mushrooms should be touching. In this article, I’ll show you how to find, pick, dry, and prepare Liberty Cap mushrooms […]

Alcohol tends to affect the speed at which your iris constricts and dilates. A driver that has been drinking alcohol cannot adapt as quickly to oncoming headlights. A large longitudinal study published in 2021 similarly showed a link between low to moderate wine drinking and a lower risk of developing cataracts that required surgery. Chronic […]

Depending on case severity, an overdose could lead to irreversible damage. The length of time methamphetamines stay active can be much longer than for cocaine and other stimulants. A much weaker form of methamphetamine is sold as a prescription with the brand name Desoxyn. Adderall, a brand name drug containing amphetamine, is used to treat […]

The activation of these receptors triggers a massive release of neurotransmitters. MDMA also inhibits serotonin reuptake by its binding to the transporter protein, thus prolonging signaling at the synapses. Besides, the MDMA bindings to the plasma membrane transporters are also translocated into the cytoplasm and promote non-exocytotic transmitter release (Verrico, Miller, & Madras, 2007). This […]

If you’re experiencing sleeping issues, whether related to alcohol consumption or not, consider talking to your health care provider or a sleep specialist. It’s not because I don’t appreciate a glass of wine with a great meal, or a few beers on a hot summer evening. It’s because I know what alcohol can do to […]

In addition, early data suggests that ketamine might enhance negative self-schemas, which is one of the primary therapy goals of CBT [16]. In a pilot that studied white matter connectivity, chronic ketamine users showed higher connectivity between caudate nuclei and the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC). Furthermore, in ketamine users, the putamen showed higher connectivity […]

A fatal overdose from LSD is unlikely, but adverse effects that require medical intervention are possible, especially when someone takes a large amount. There are also risks related to the intense effect LSD has on your mood and perception of reality. LSD isn’t considered an addictive substance, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, […]
