    Actually, they added a methyl group to MDA. MDMA is also less potent by weight than both MDA and methamphetamine and clinically safer than both.

    As far as abuse potential, it’s basically very shitty speed when you try to take it to often. The primary mechanism of action is way different than methamphetamine. Which makes it very hard to redose and get high again. This means it has a difficult time forming the dopamine reward cycle we see with cocaine and methamphetamine.

    It’s also never smoked and rarely shot, which are the two routes of administration that most easily set up dopamine reward pathways because the drug kicks in so much faster than via ingestion.

    Which isn’t to say people won’t try to abuse it. But that has way more to do with the person’s personality type than the drug, as MDMA really doesn’t have the same abuse potential as it’s parent compound (MDA) or it’s relative (methamphetamine).

    In my experience, MDMA is less addictive than sex or video games and isn’t on the same level as methamphetamine at all (and I’ve shot both).

    but we’re not talking about migraines.

    we’re talking about caffeine withdrawal headaches.

    neither of which are 💯 understood but that doesn’t make them the same.

    plus, Vicodin has Tylenol in it. so i was taking Tylenol.

    Depends on how bad your caffeine addiction is. I tried cold turkey when I had a tooth pulled when I was drinking a pot of coffee a day.

    A week in bed on Vicodin and Percocet, didn’t touch that headache and it didn’t improve or go away until I drank coffee.

    Oddly, I ate a large bag of mushrooms and got tazed by the cops one night. Ended up in the psych ward. Was able to cold turkey the coffee after that. Not sure if it was the mushrooms or the juice from the tazer.

    i grow mushrooms outside and do some foraging.

    if a mushroom is covered in bugs it’s probably edible. centipedes, fungus gnats, and slugs are all common on my outdoor beds.

    there are a few edible fungi i don’t see bugs eat, like meatier varieties such as shiitake and saddle backs, but i have never seen bugs go after poisonous fungi

    some bugs will eat psychedelic fungi just like some animals will. but there tends to be less predation with them.
