Im about to try pot laced with 5 htp. Its an antidepressant drug. Has anyone else tried this?? Ps ive had like 9 beers aand a few buckets but ill let everyone know how it is PEACE
I'm not going to lie, I'm ignorant about that drug. The only pills I mess with are adderall, and that's just to keep my GPA up... Anyway it seems like not an awesome idea to mix beer and pills...
Why would you smoke an anti-depression/sleep aid pill? I guess they'd be good to take if you just did a weekend of rolling and needed a mood boost @_@
5 htp is more commonly known as serotonin. it's a naturally occuring hormone/neurotransmitter that affects alerness and general mood. i take it sometimes when i have recurrent (2+ days) insomnia. it's the mildest sleep aid i know of (in terms of effectiveness and side effects). so, it's okay for your body. but i don't know about smoking it. and the fillers in the pill would probably be pretty damn bad for you (moreso than pot smoke au natural). it costs like five bucks for a month's supply, and is available otc at almost every vitamin shop/pharmacy i've seen. so, yeah, don't do it.
In the U.S., 5-htp is technically a supplement not a drug. That's why you don't need a prescription for it. And even if you take several times the recommended dosage, it won't really get you high or euphoric. It is a precursor to serotonin, if you body/brain has less serotonin then it should have, it takes the 5-htp and makes it to get the levels back to where they should be. The body has complex biochemical mechanisms for regulating serotonin levels, so it does really allow for too much to be made, unless short circuited by other chemicals
5HTP is also sold with BZP 'Smart' Herbal Highs in Hed Shops to level out the after effects. Can I just ask WHY you're lacing your smoke with it? If it's shit growth, order some decent seeds!
No, it's still a drug. Drugs are defined by their effects not whether or not they require a prescription.
taking 5-htp orally before the high has been said to improve it. but smoking it is pretty dumb. I wouldn't pass it up if someone else was smoking me up, but I wouldn't put it there or buy it like that
5htp is a serotonin precursor, just take a couple and youll feel slightly happier but you wont really notice it, i use 5htp alot before and after i roll on E, just smok your bud clean haha
I meant how it is legally classified by the FDA. I'm looking at a bottle of it right now and it clearly says its a "Dietary Supplement" and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent disease (which is the FDA's legal definition of what is a "drug"). I've taken 5-htp many times and I wouldn't call it a drug either, just judging by its effects. It kinda weird, the legal definitions are totally different then the common one of what a "drug" is. Things like LSD and Marijuana (and anything else in schedule 1) have no federally approved medical uses so the can not legally called a "drug", that is why they are legally called "controlled substances".
