Unique substance warnings

Revision as of 08:12, 7 February 2023 by >David Hedlund (Gathered unique substance warnings that I've collected (added to the linked pages) through the years. This should make it easy for Isaak to add warning messages to specific substances in PsychonautWiki Journal.)

  • Two-piece gel encapsulation ("hard capsules"): Dissolves fully within 10-60 minutes.
  • Blotters: Orally administering (swallowing) substances whose identity is uncertain is a potential way to eliminate most of the effects from dangerous mimics like 25x-NBx (25x-NBOMe like 25I-NBOMe, and 25x-NBOH like 25I-NBOH, etc). 25I-NBOMe is widely rumored to be orally inactive; however, oral efficacy has not been disproven and apparent overdoses have occurred via oral administration. 25I-NBOMe (and other NB's like 25x-NBOMe, 25x-NBOH) has much lower oral bioavailability than sublingual, buccal, and sublabial administration. 25I-NBOMe, to which several deaths have been attributed.[1][2][3][4] may commonly be mistaken for LSD by sellers and users.[5]

Psychoactive substances

  • MAOIs: Tyramine causes hypertensive crises after MAO inhibition aka the "cheese effect" or "cheese crisis". Using a MAO inhibitor (MAOI), the intake of approximately 10 to 25 mg of tyramine is required for a severe reaction compared to 6 to 10 mg for a mild reaction. Tyramine rich food should also be avoided by people prone to headache and migraine. Stilton (a blue cheese) contains up to 217 mg tyramine per 100 grams. - https://www.mc.vanderbilt.edu/documents/neurology/files/Tyramine%20Menu%20Book%2006227101.pdf
  • Psilocybin mushrooms: x mg psilocybin is stored in each fully developed fruit body. So the number of species is more relevant than the quantity.
  • 2C-P: 2C-P is known to have a steep dose-response curve, as little as a few extra milligrams separating a manageable dose and an overdose. Also, 2C-P can have a very slow onset if ingested, and peak effects reportedly do not occur for 3 to 5 hours.
  • Codeine: Intravenous codeine can result in nonimmune mast-cell degranulation and resulting anaphylactoid reaction.
  • Hydroxyzine: Intravenous formulations are unavailable due to a risk of hemolysis.
  • Ketamine: Ketamine taken intravenously quicker than 1.5 minute can cause breathing depression for short time (up to a minute). - Ketamine: Dreams and Realities, p276

Genotype

  • THC: CYP2C9 genotype affects THC sensitivity significantly: Subjects with the *3/*3 genotype had 3-fold higher THC levels in their blood than subjects with the *1/*1 genotype. Those subjects with one copy of each gene (*1/*3) had intermediate THC levels that were about 2-fold higher than subjects with *1/*1.[6]
