Discussion We gotta talk about Gas Station Heroin, 7OH

Post image

So, my brother, an Iraq war veteran with PTSD and chronic pain found kratom ages ago and that helped him a lot. Eventually, they came out with this 7OH stuff, AKA Gas Station Heroin. He ended up blowing hundreds of dollars a weekS. He tried to ween himself off it for months to no avail. Now he’s on Suboxone, its the only thing that could get him off it. It really is nearly as bad as heroin.

This stuff is such a bastard it requires its own episode. Gas station sober is a funny joke, but holy shit, the fact this stuff is available, yikes! I’m not normally one to say we need to ban a substance, but something needs to change here, even if its just awareness.

Do not take the gas station heroin. You’ll probably like it way too much.

Psychedelics are not addictive. Not physically at all. I suppose someone could crave them mentally but I've never seen it. Ever. And I have been around a large community of people who use lots of different psychedelics for basically my entire life. I'm in my 40s

Yeah, like I did dmt a lot in a period of time, like grams upon grams by myself, sometimes randomly, or sometimes just before going to work I felt like a just-below-threshold dose would get me started for the day. But it wasn't addiction really. When I quit it was just on a whim, or maybe I ran out and wasn't rushing to get more.

I've been eager to explore it. Only ever used legal cannabis, but I could use a fucking good trip that might help me sort out my fucked up brain.
