“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 […]

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 […]

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, […]

Oxycodone (OxyContin) is a prescription opioid that can be lethal in high doses. Knowing the signs […]

Use of the drug becomes compulsive even when it causes harm, like experiencing poor health or losing relationships or jobs. There are differences between tolerance, dependence, and addiction to a drug. This means the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) considers it as having no medical use and high potential for misuse. We are here to provide […]

There is some evidence to suggest kratom use during pregnancy can cause withdrawal symptoms in newborns. Less physical dependence and respiratory depression mark a major difference between kratom and traditional opiates.

We predicted a priori that yellow-spotted monitors would be more difficult to detect by active search surveys compared with lace monitors. Accordingly, cameras were deployed in sites with yellow-spotted monitors for 120 h (total 40 camera days/nights per site). In the case of invasive predators that consume native prey, selection may favor rapid adaptive responses […]
