  • 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.[6]
  • Psilocybin mushrooms: x mg psilocybin is stored in each fully developed fruit body. So the number of species is more relevant than the quantity.

Chemical forms

  • DXM: "It should be noted that DXM in freebase form (as found in Robocough RoboTablets) is around 27-37% more potent than its hydrobromide form due to a higher concentration of DXM by weight. One should take this into account when calculating their dose so as to avoid a potential overdose."
  • 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.[7]
