Since it seems like this might be steroids' time to go, here's where I'll drop an endorsement for the 2008 documentary Bigger Stronger Faster, which takes a really nuanced look at the phenomenon of steroid use, performance-enhancing drugs, and the way our stupid American culture and capitalist system built on making people feel insecure and afraid contributes to the whole mess.
Do you want to dance while also thinking about all the ways you've failed as a human?

My dog is taking some steroids for allergies. I got some cream for whenever eczema flairs up. My dad had some when his brain cancer and strokes were taking him down his last few months. Whenever they’d give him steroids he’d come back to life for a few days and could communicate his needs. Taking them to look big like wrestlers did in the 1980s is pretty stupid. I don’t really care about steroids but I’m still voting ketamine wondering why it has gotten a free pass.
Trying to think of when is the best time for caffeine to go. I love caffeine, I probably can't live without it. But at some point it's just not in the same league as these others.

most popular drug in the world. It could easily win
people made the (very valid) argument that tylenol had to go because this is Drugs Survivor, not Medicine Survivor -- so we need to apply that same logic to steroids. i get that it can help people, but it isn't a drug you do for fun
Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.

Also couldn't live without it, and for me that's enough to take it fairly deep into the game. I'd like to see it at least get past steroids, mescaline, nicotine, and alcohol.

i honestly would like to see alcohol go next after steroids but realllly doubt we can make it happen that early lol. although a number of people did speak to how shitty drinking makes them feel last round, so maybe!

Can someone explain mescaline’s deal to me? I just realized now I’ve never even been around anyone who’s done it.
Mescaline is an alkaloid notably found naturally in 2 species of cacti - san pedro and peyote. It can also be synthesized.
It's often contrasted with ayahuasca (DMT) as a trip of similar length but different vibe and intensity. It's a classic psychedelic basically, it's just much less part of the zeitgeist than acid and shrooms.
I got sold powdered mescaline once, tested it, and then took it with a friend. We basically had a 2 hour come up and nothing happened. Still not sure if it was just bunk or what.
In 2022 I went to my first ever Phish run, and I was walking around the lot looking for something interesting to by that wasn't "rolls, doses, shrooms!" Some guy said "San Pedro" and I literally chased him down haha. He had some cactus mush in a Naked Smoothie bottle. I talked to him and his wife for a while. They had just gotten back from Peru and had tripped on it twice. I didn't feel like they were grifters after about 10 mins of convo and I bought the bottle. It's been sitting in my freezer for 2 years as I wait for the right time. Not even sure if it will still work when I decide to drink it but I really look forward to a mesc trip at some point in my life.

Also Aldous Huxely of Brave New World fame wrote a book called Doors of Perception that is just him recounting his first time tripping on mescaline. Cool read, short too.
Basically Meacalito is the god/demon of mescaline and has an angry and playful side depending on whether he likes the user. It gets complicated but is different than lsd or mushrooms.

The Doors are named after that book. They tripped a lot.

Brave New World is legit my all time favorite book. They lived on soma too, which used to be huge when I was a teenager. idk if they even make that shit anymore.

completely happy to vote out ketamine whenever y'all are ready.
but i assume you'll also be happy to join me on alc soon?
i have no opinions of K--havent done it, prob will at some point. but i trust Capital Cincy and know he loves it, so theres that
Happy to join on alcohol whenever.
Capital Cincy is great and I trust him but I had a terrible experience with a Ketamine guy at a Phish show recently so I will forever be biased against it.
chewing tobacco might be the worst thing ever though, just absolutely disgusting
oh absolutely. dip is revolting.
but if we are playing "lets vote considering the absolutely worst receptacle of that substance," then you'll have to consider shit like Raspberry Pink Moscato Arbor Mist for alcohol and "that little burnt piece of a nug i found under my couch from last month" for weed.

MDMA rocks taste like burnt science. So, yeah, I'm leaving this out of my particular judging criteria.

Mescaline seems cool for sure, but has anyone here actually done it besides cinci when it didnt work?
Yeah. Not 60’s form but we got some caps of dried and encapsulated peyote when I was a senior in high school. 2 days later Teachings of Don Juan showed up in my possession though I hadn’t heard of it. It wasn’t a form you could go hard on if in fact that’s what it does. But it did put you into your head in a milder way. Read Behavioral and Non-Behavioral effects.
Mescaline induces a psychedelic state comparable to those produced by LSD and psilocybin, but with unique characteristics.[29] Subjective effects may include altered thinking processes, an altered sense of time and self-awareness, and closed- and open-eye visual phenomena.[49]
Prominence of color is distinctive, appearing brilliant and intense. Recurring visual patterns observed during the mescaline experience include stripes, checkerboards, angular spikes, multicolor dots, and very simple fractals that turn very complex. The English writer Aldous Huxley described these self-transforming amorphous shapes as like animated stained glass illuminated from light coming through the eyelids in his autobiographical book The Doors of Perception (1954). Like LSD, mescaline induces distortions of form and kaleidoscopic experiences but they manifest more clearly with eyes closed and under low lighting conditions.[54]
Heinrich Klüver coined the term "cobweb figure" in the 1920s to describe one of the four form constant geometric visual hallucinations experienced in the early stage of a mescaline trip: "Colored threads running together in a revolving center, the whole similar to a cobweb". The other three are the chessboard design, tunnel, and spiral. Klüver wrote that "many 'atypical' visions are upon close inspection nothing but variations of these form-constants."[55]
As with LSD, synesthesia can occur especially with the help of music.[56] An unusual but unique characteristic of mescaline use is the "geometrization" of three-dimensional objects. The object can appear flattened and distorted, similar to the presentation of a Cubist painting.[57]
Mescaline elicits a pattern of sympathetic arousal, with the peripheral nervous system being a major target for this substance.[56]
According to a research project in the Netherlands, ceremonial San Pedro use seems to be characterized by relatively strong spiritual experiences, and low incidence of challenging experiences.
