No, it heightened his existing personality.

I would not recommend the bolded to anyone with depression or mental illness. My experiences were nothing but great, but it'll (frank) your day up and then some if you're not in the right frame of mind

Most likely, but it does cause psychosis when used chronically.

I'm pretty mentally stable and centered - I have NEVER had a bad trip on anything, especially LSD. The only "bad" times I've had are when the other person can't handle their poop and ruins my good time.

I mean, you can get emotional and cry when coming down but sometimes that's good. A bad trip is literally when you start flipping out the second the stuff kicks in. A come down is appropriately named. You're just coming down from a severe chemical high.

6K made his AHL debut last year and won his only game in net for the Amerks.

Also, am I the only one concerned that the conversation has to keep going back to defense in order to remain positive? The Sabres desperately need more offensive forward depth in their system. The well is quite barren after Dylan Cozens in that department.

Wonder if there's gonna be another draft in June?

Also tall tage?

Coke, you're right. But MDMA is a very, very effective anti-depressant in micro-doses.

I have a lot of chronic depression. I bought a couple hundred dollars worth of the stuff a while back with the intentions of micro-dosing. For over a week straight, I took a small amount each day and I can say with 100% honesty that I felt better, happier, more energetic and less depressed in ways that other "anti-depressants" haven't.

It's something that's been clinically tested and proven to help with depression and anxiety.

- BeadyEyedDouche


I guess you’d have to take a very small dose though no ? I always thought something like MDMA would make you happy as a pig and mud but the comedown after words would be heavy ?

Think everyone shares the concern, but when you need to rebuild the entire system, starting with C and D makes a lot of sense.

Yeah, the point is to take ~1/10th the effective dose once every three days.

"Stevens had high praise for Jonas Johansson who has a 2.28 goals-against average and a .915 save percentage,"

Tage "Toe Drag" Thompson...

Let him stay in the AHL. I for one don't think he will be much more then a 3rd line player...

This is the greatest thing ever written here. I was just saying the other day "Christmas should be every other year", but I like your idea better. Among other things, it's just too taxing on our family income.

Controversy time : People who do not believe in God should not celebrate Christmas in any way.

Discuss.

Well, seeing as Christmas is really Saturnalia, and that Christians turned it into their holiday despite Jesus having been born in the spring so that converting pagans would be easier I'd say anyone believing in God should be celebrating Christmas in April.

Doesn't change the fact Botterill has 1 top-6 forward prospect in the organization. Dear lord, it's overflowing with defensemen at every level. Just do something Darcy

- IonSabres

The stuff isn't cheap and getting it on the "street" can be dangerous. there are a lot of counterfeit drugs out there, a lot of it is cut with bad stuff and it's pretty expensive. About 10-20 bucks per dose, I do a little higher of a dose because tolerance and experience, but women especially seem to respond well to it.

It's always best to start off in very small portions - you can always take more but once you take too much, you're strapped in for the ride.

The thing about microdosing is that you actually shouldn't feel the effects of the drug other than a slight lift in mood or demeanor. Actually "rolling" off the stuff can be pretty intense - especially for inexperienced users of any kind.

I had a buddy try to get his wife to do it with psilocybin and she didn't "feel" anything and lost interest but that's not the point of microdosing, you're not trying to get high, you're trying to take enough of the drug to influence your mindset but not enough to actually be under the influence of it.

Think prescription drugs like Xanax, for example. Taken daily, people whom I've known on it love it and say it really helps. I also know people who abuse it and it makes them act distant and weird and you don't realize until they tell you, so to me, that's sketchy.

Depression is like alcoholism. you have to manage it and not get too intoxicated on it because it can consume you. It's very hard to treat it even with ritualistic approaches. Exercise helps some people, prescriptions drugs, etc... Pick your poison. But it's usually chronic and comes in highs and lows.

Someone I know from school forgot 48 hours of his life taking that with the purpose of getting high while boozing.

Mitts is already in the NHL and Nylander was flipped for Joker. Tage is still down in the AHL but I understand your sentiment.

We need to make a move for a top 6 forward and everyone knows that. The 2020 draft should realistically be heavy on forwards as well to fill the cupboards.

- Swedish_Jesus

Oh, if you do a dose large enough to actually "trip" or "roll" as it's called with MDMA, you absolutely feel like a pig in mud but I have never experienced a hard come down on pure MDMA. Ecstasy, yes, because it's usually cut with something else, like an amphetamine or caffeine or another stimulant. But pure, high grade MDMA is like a roller-coaster. It's fun and all over the place but you might puke, too.

It's all dependent on your tolerance, experience and body/weight index. The guy I got it from actually asked me what I planned on doing with it because no one ever buys that much, I said microdosing, he said how many doses will you get, I said maybe 8 and he said yeah, that's not microdosing for most people so be careful... But I did use it recreational a couple times anyway and I honestly dosed too small to really roll face so it's not something to try until you have experience. And for your first time, NEVER by yourself.

It also is the literal worst taste on the planet, like face-melting bitter/chemical. It's the worst.

The worst come-down, imo, is actual mushrooms, I've never come down super hard off the psilocybin for some reason but mushrooms hit me like a truck. It goes from literal rolling in bed euphoria to literal scrub the (frank)ing corners of my bathroom and kitchen crying my eyes out naked and lay down in the shower for 45 minutes in the fetal position. Not every time and not if you dose it properly but if you get a strong batch, get ready for an existential crisis around hour 6.
