What are you saying? High without drugs? Pfft! You've got to be kidding me! Although it can be noted that quite a few people in the psychedelic music scene have had or still have psychedelic experiences with various substances. There are also a number of people for whom drugs have no appeal.

1. Light.

Using light to induce hallucinations will gain popularity. Exposure to a series of repeated flashes of light is enough to cause hallucinations for some people.

There are many companies offering devices that allow you to achieve this at home. They are usually created from a pair of safety glasses that contain many small LEDs set to flash at a fairly high frequency level.

They are often sold under the names “consciousness machines”, “dream makers” and other designations that make you leave your wallet in your pocket. However, recent scientific research and an increasing number of user reviews have solidified the argument that these machines really work.

The devices range from cheap and simple to quite exorbitant depending on the materials and technology contained. One of the newer sensations is the Lucia No. 3 device, developed by several psychologists and neuroscientists. It uses stroboscopic lighting techniques to activate your brain's pineal gland, which in turn produces visions not unlike hallucinations.

1. Dancing

For thousands of years, dance has been used by people to enter a trance-like state of mind and cross the bridge to the spiritual world. Cultures such as the Australian Aboriginals, African tribes, Sufis and American Indians used the power of dance to contact spirits, as if entering a world of vibrant color and archetypes.

1. Breathing and Meditation

Breath control and meditation have long been used by many Asian cultures as a means of clearing negative thoughts, finding inspiration, spiritual wellness and becoming more aware. Now that these methods have spread throughout the world, it is easy to find a teacher who can guide you along the contemplative path. Speaking of training, I would not advise you to be interested only in meditation.

Many people who practice essential insight meditation have reported experiencing hallucinations. From simple shapes and colors that can be seen with a low dose of LSD to complete “out-of-body” events where perfect qualities and environmental conditions are formed and interacted from the inside.

No one knows exactly how this happens and the proposed arguments put forward by teachers, yogis and even Buddhist masters vary as much as the reported visions. Some people have said that sudden ghostly hallucinations during meditation have caused long-lasting psychological problems, so it would be wise to study the area well before diving into its depths.

1. Sleep deprivation

I became interested in sleep deprivation and hallucinations after reading Aldous Huxley's essay on the topic as a teenager. A few years later, after a busy weekend, I experienced some of what Huxley mentioned earlier.

I barely slept for three or four days. Suddenly I started having auditory hallucinations (hearing things that weren't there) and started seeing vibrations in colors and geometric shapes. I fell asleep and woke up almost 20 hours later!

I'm no scientist, but I've come to the conclusion quite easily that sleep deprivation affects the function of certain areas of the brain and the visual cortex.

1. Lucid dreams

For most of us, daydreaming is a pleasant and fantastic excursion during sleep in which our brain produces the thoughts, ideas and emotions that we experience in reality.

However, these dreams are broken and out of our control. No matter how many times you have your wildest dreams, we often wake up before things get really exciting!

However, sometimes I had the feeling of being able to control my sleep. Like a movie director or those dudes in Inception, I felt like I could just think of a wall, a river, or a thin-crust pizza and it would magically appear.

After I told my friend about this, he gave me a book on lucid dreaming that detailed the process of being able to completely control your dreams.

If you are not interested in lucid dreaming, but would still like to make your dreams more fantastical, then stick with cheese. Stilton cheese, to be more precise.

A 2005 study by the British Cheese Board concluded that about 80% of men and women reported strange and vivid dreams after eating Stilton cheese 30 minutes before bed. This is a fairly significant figure. Various types of cheese were selected for the study, but Stilton came out on top in terms of the number of fantastic dreams seen by the 200 study participants.

I have also had similar dreams after eating blue cheese.

Some people note that cheese contains high amounts of the amino acid tryptophan, which can relax the body and mind and may cause “cheese dreams.” I still doubt it because other products contain the same or more tryptophan per 100 grams. Eggs and soy, for example, contain more tryptophan than cheese, and yet I can't remember ever having an “egg or soy dream.”

Another possible reason I've heard about cheese dreams is that your body takes a long time to metabolize cheese, so if you eat it before bed, your brain is still too active at a time when it should be resting. The result of this is vivid dreams.

1. Sensory deprivation chambers

Deep in my record collection lies a priceless copy of the soundtrack to the 1980 film Other Faces. The film, starring a young William Hurt and Richard Dreyfuss, chronicles a Harvard scientist's search for out-of-this-world spiritual consciousness through a sensory deprivation chamber. In the end the guy gets more than he expected. I won't give away the plot here because I think it's kind of a cool movie and definitely worth watching if you're interested in exploring the subconscious.

If you've never heard of a sensory deprivation chamber before, it's an unlit, soundproof chamber in which objects float in salt water at skin temperature. They were first used by John C. Lilly in 1954 to test the effects of sensory deprivation. Such chambers are now used for meditation, relaxation and alternative medicine.

Sensory deprivation chambers use the idea of ​​sensory deprivation (removing one or more sensory stimuli) to activate hallucinogenic images in the mind. User reports were mixed after the first experiment. However, with prolonged use of the sensory deprivation chamber and the ability to “relax”, many have reported the most fantastic trips.

1. Magnets.

Over the past 20 years, there has been a growing amount of research into magnetic fields and their effects on the human brain. Apart from the obvious medical applications that could be achieved with such research, there are many alternative applications of research that indicate that magnets are responsible for many hallucinogenic conditions.

Some scientists have suggested that natural magnetic fields may be the reason why people are seeing ghosts, or that groups of people have been subjected to UFO or alien sightings.

Science has proven that magnets do indeed create hallucinations—colorful lines and geometric patterns—similar to what people experience when under the influence of hallucinogens such as hallucinogenic mushrooms, LSD, or peyote.

In the future, magnets and transducers may become a new entertainment platform. Imagine a home console where games take place in your mind rather than with your eyes. Sounds like a fantasy? SONY Corporation in Japan already has a patent for such a system.

Magnetic devices for changing consciousness are usually made by converting a bicycle or football helmet into a convenient magnetic cabin with an instrument panel for field voltage, etc. One such device that captured the public's imagination was the God Helmet.

1. Drum roll.

Tribal drumming is a traditional ritual procedure used by shamans to enter the spirit world. The practice has been used for thousands of years and passed down through generations as a way to stay in touch with their ancestors or seek healing advice.

The monotonous nature of tribal drumming is key to the hallucinations it can cause. A short, repeated sequence reduces the amount of sensory input and promotes the formation of images and feelings in the brain that are spiritual or mystical in nature.

Legal psychoactive substances, classification, prevention of use and what applies to them

Narcotic drugs or legal psychoactive substances that can be purchased at a regular pharmacy.

Narcotic drugs and psychoactive substances include prohibited and legal psychoactive substances that can be bought at a regular pharmacy. But despite this division, the harm from all types of psychoactive substances and entheogens is the same, poisoning with psychoactive substances among drug addicts is not uncommon. Despite the prevention of psychoactive substance abuse, drugs can sometimes be bought in pharmacies without a prescription.

Pharmacy kiosks attract drug addicts of all kinds and stripes. Drugs in pharmacies are sold, of course, not in pure form, but in numerous formulations that modern pharmaceuticals use. Parents need to be clear that there are many more legal psychoactive substances than they realize. Some medications contain psychoactive substances suitable as semi-finished products for the preparation of potent drugs. Sometimes from children who are drug addicts you can hear unfamiliar words - “kalichnaya”, “kaliki”, tablets - these are pharmacies or “graters” - prescriptions for medicines.

classification of psychoactive substances

Pharmacy drugs can be divided into three large groups:

• medications that are supplied to the pharmacy and dispensed strictly according to registration,
• prescription medications
• over-the-counter medicines.

drugs sold in pharmacies according to strict records.

Such drugs are exchanged for prescriptions at the pharmacy. Prescriptions have many levels of protection - seals of doctors and medical institutions, and are then carefully checked both at the time of purchase of the medicine and in the future. If necessary, the pharmacist can make a telephone call to the medical institution that issued the “suspicious” recipe under strict reporting conditions. Prevention of substance abuse in this case is “at the top”; legal psychoactive substances are not easy to buy; not every health worker has the right to write such prescriptions under strict accountability.

legal psychoactive substances sold in pharmacies with a prescription

The distribution and use of psychoactive substances is also inhibited by the system of dispensing drugs upon presentation of a prescription. But there is no reporting on these types of prescriptions, and drug-addicted teenagers use a large number of actually available drugs from pharmacies as semi-finished products for potions. Pharmacies with negligent staff are often called “stuck.” Go behind the corner of the pharmacy and if empty packs of unknown medications are adjacent to traces of a public toilet, this pharmacy has long been a favorite of drug addicts and supplies them with drugs for a “high.” The likelihood of “purchasing” (in the slang of drug addicts – buying) psychoactive substances at this pharmacy is much higher. Many “black” pharmacies have a presentation - psychoactive substances are displayed on the counter.

over-the-counter medicines

Over-the-counter drugs are of interest to drug addicts only as starting components for the synthesis of potent derivatives or drug enhancers (in this case, there is a high probability of poisoning with psychoactive substances). Also, pharmaceutical solutions are sterile and have a composition known to everyone, which is necessary in some formulas of drugs and psychoactive substances.

classification of psychoactive substances from a pharmacy by nature of action

What can a drug addict buy at a pharmacy? - practically nothing suitable for narcotic dope. It is practically impossible to buy anything related to psychoactive substances without a prescription. If you can buy anything, it will be “drugs for beginners” or “beats”.

Pharmacies “hunt” for drugs of the opiate group: codeine, tramadol, ephedrine or tranquilizers with sedative effects.

legal psychoactive substances and drugs in a pharmacy containing tramadol or codeine

Parents of teenagers should pay special attention to the names of these drugs. The following drugs contain codeine:

• Terpincode,
• Sedalgin,
• Pentalgin,
• Nurofen-plus,
• Sedal-M...
• Drug addicts use them for:
• getting a “high” from codeine (mostly beginners),
• remedy against “withdrawal” or kumars (frequently taking narcotic drugs),
• production of desomorphine and intravenous injections (experienced drug addicts).
• Desomorphine is the most destructive drug, the harm of psychoactive substances is maximum.

Tramadol (or Tramal) relieves withdrawal symptoms and can be purchased in its pure form only according to strict prescriptions. legal psychoactive substances and drugs in a pharmacy containing ephedrine

Ephedrine and pseudoephedrine, or as the ephedrine isomer is also called, can be found in tablets or mixtures. Drug addicts use it to prepare screw and mulk (pervitin and methcathinone). In most cases, ephedrine in its pure form does not “inject” a drug addict; everyone is interested in mixtures based on it. It would seem that the well-known cough syrup Bronholitin not only treats colds, but can also be used as a derivative to produce a potion.

Legal psychoactive substances from a medicine cabinet may contain hallucinogenic drugs. Of particular note is dextromethorphan (DXM), a large amount of it is found in Atussin, Tussin-plus, Glycodin. New psychonauts start with dextromethorphan. A change in consciousness can also be caused by the use of Baclofen, Parkopan or Haloperidol, Taren (do not confuse a change in consciousness with drug addiction goals). The dissociative ketamine is used by veterinarians; it is not easy to obtain; it is classified as a drug.

PSYCHOACTIVE SUBSTANCES: TRANQUILIZERS AND PSYCHOSTIMULANTS FROM THE PHARMACY

Sleeping pills, together with tranquilizers, have created a whole line of drugs in the pharmacy. The effect obtained when using this type of drug is similar to opium. Ritalin (methylphenidate), although a weak-acting psychostimulant, can still replace amphetamine (phenamine) and pervitin (methamphetamine). It would seem harmless diphenhydramine and naphthyzin with potassium permanganate, although not used directly, can be used by drug addicts as an auxiliary remedy.

From school age we are told that drugs lead to terrible consequences. The consequences can be exaggerated to such an extent that it seems that a couple of puffs at a party could ultimately lead to crime. The drugs on this list are worse than anything you've ever heard of.

Zolpidem, also known as Ambien, is a sleeping pill developed as an alternative to Valium (Diazepam).

The dumbest ways to get high, popular among American teenagers

Everyone knows about the dangers of drugs, but who other than teenagers always like to try something new in the hope of experiencing incomparable sensations. Young people strive in every possible way to achieve a state of altered consciousness, using many things for these purposes for other purposes. To “get high,” teenagers are ready to inhale and swallow anything, as long as it helps them experience new sensations.

Information for parents, drug addicts and alcoholics.

If you have even the slightest suspicion, immediately contact a rehabilitation center or an experienced narcologist. In this case, even a watch can decide the fate of your child and completely ruin his life. Never waste your time.

In the speech of drug addicts, slang and borrowed words are very often found, and you can also find medical and technical terms that may not be understandable to the average person.

Source of drugs - home medicine cabinet

Recently, American teenagers have become less likely to use drugs. However, a new dangerous trend has emerged. To get a high, they began using over-the-counter medications. Today, the abuse of such drugs exceeds that of any other drug except marijuana. To achieve a narcotic effect, teenagers now use such drugs more often than cocaine, heroin and methamphetamine combined.

How to get high without drugs

Drug addiction is a terrible and repulsive problem. Apparently, this is why it has long turned into an opportunistic journalistic topic. From time to time, articles appear in the urban media about crimes committed by drug addicts, about truly unhappy mothers losing their children before our eyes, about the fact that society and the authorities do not care about solving drug addiction syndrome, about the psychological aspect of drug addiction.

Basically, only two sides of the problem are exaggerated - social and political.

Dangerous ways to get high

In pursuit of getting a buzz, teenagers are sometimes ready to do really stupid and thoughtless things. What's most interesting is that many of them try something new in the hope of experiencing incomparable sensations. Next, you will learn about the strangest ways in which American teenagers get high.

Abuse of inhalants or “irritants” is an old American, one might say ancient, method of getting an inexpensive high.

Translation and meaning of GETTING HIGH in English and Russian

Sat, 10/05/2014 - 18:09

Everyone knows about the dangers of drugs, but who other than teenagers always like to try something new in the hope of experiencing incomparable sensations. Young people strive in every possible way to achieve a state of altered consciousness, using many things for these purposes for other purposes. To “get high,” teenagers are ready to inhale and swallow anything, as long as it helps them experience new sensations. In the continuation of the article you will see 15 strange ways in which American teenagers get high. Many of them are not just stupid, but also life-threatening!

"Cleaning" (inhalant)

Abuse of inhalants or “irritants” is an old American, one might say ancient, method of getting an inexpensive high. He has been known for a long time. Aerosol bottles can be found in most homes and are fairly easy to purchase. But inhaling hydrocarbons creates a feeling of temporary paralysis and oxygen deficiency. It can also damage internal organs and cause death. Parents are advised to pay attention to oddities in teenagers' sense of smell, dilated pupils and quickly running out of aerosols.

Mothballs

Another substance in the "irritant" drug category is mothballs. The gas emitted by mothballs is designed to keep hungry bugs away from your clothes. But it turns out it also attracts teenagers hoping to get high. After inhalation, teens become uncoordinated and their skin may become scaly as the body tries to remove the chemicals they inhale. In any case, it's stupid because... can lead to severe poisoning of the body.

Purple Drank (codeine)

Made popular by rappers in the 1990s, Purple Drank, also known as "Texas tea", "Sizzurp" or simply "Drank", is another substance that teenagers continue to use to get high. Purple Drank is a cough syrup mixed with Sprite or Mountain Dew and sometimes candy to add sweetness. This mixture is based on codeine, a drug found in cough syrup. Popularized in hip-hop culture and reportedly consumed by Justin Bieber, Purple Drank produces mild euphoria. It also causes lethargy and drowsiness and, if taken in a high enough dose, can inhibit the nervous system and cause a person to stop breathing. High sugar content also leads to excessive weight gain and tooth decay.

Choking Game (games with asphyxiation)

This method stands out on the list because it is not a drug. Teenagers do this to achieve the same effect as when consuming irritants. In short, asphyxiation games involve cutting off blood flow to the brain to the point where the person faints or begins to lose consciousness. Once blood flow to the brain is restored, a burst of oxygen to the brain creates a feeling of euphoria. But as they say, you can overdo it.

Antiseptic hand gel

It is supposed to be applied to your hands to kill germs. Some teenagers decided they could drink it and get drunk. Some antiseptic gels contain more than 60% ethanol. This means that a couple of drops are the equivalent of a couple of glasses of vodka. As with regular alcoholic beverages, it can cause serious side effects, including decreased motor function, memory loss, damage to internal organs, and increased blood sugar.

Catnip

If drug studies haven't shown anything surprising to you about what teens are willing to eat, drink or smoke to get high, meet catnip. Most people know catnip as the plant that makes your cat act stupid. Catnip was actually used by people in the 1960s as an alternative to marijuana. The fad returned as teenagers began using the cat drug to get their own high and to take the high from their cats. Eaten or smoked, catnip can cause relaxation, mild euphoria, or dizziness. Side effects include nausea, headaches and people making fun of you. If you notice a teenager rolling around a ball of yarn, meowing, rest assured, it's catnip.

Whip-Its (nitrous oxide)

Known as Crack Hippie, nitrous oxide is a very famous drug. It is also used by dentists and speed enthusiasts. The most accessible source of the drug is the dairy section of the grocery store. In whipped cream cans, nitrous oxide is used to extract the product from the can. Inhaling this substance (nitrogen, not whipped cream) causes euphoria. But it can also cause frostbite, internal organ damage, suffocation and death. The National Institute on Drug Abuse reported that more than 700,000 teenagers tried inhalants such as nitrous oxide in one year. But the data isn't limited to teenagers. Even Demi Moore was hospitalized after reportedly taking nitrous oxide.

Freon

Freon is a gas used in freezers and refrigerators. If you inhale it, you will get a high. The teenagers found out that a regular home air conditioner also contains freon. They reportedly use a screwdriver to inhale the gas. In recent years, technicians and repairers have reported an increase in complaints related to loss of freon in air conditioners. In addition to euphoria, freon can cause liver, heart and brain damage, as well as death. It can also cause severe frostbite to the face and lungs.

Aromatic mixtures and "Incense"

It's not something your mom or wife uses to scent a room. It may look like "regular" aromatics, but teenagers smoke it like synthetic marijuana. The product was sold legally at gas stations and convenience stores in the United States. Its main chemical was never intended for human consumption, and the danger is compounded by the host of other unknown chemicals often added to the mix. While teens seek euphoria, side effects include convulsions, hallucinations and paranoia. Experts even point out that trying to get high with a concoction may cost more than using marijuana, the drug that the concoction is trying to emulate.

Burt's Bees (lip balm)

There is a new term for the drug that is used today - beezin'. This refers to teenagers who have found a quirky way to use Burt's Bees products to get high. Burt's Bees produces a line of natural and organic products that include toothpastes, shampoos and conditioners. Teens have discovered that using the company's lip balm on their eyelids can induce a feeling of euphoria. Experts believe that peppermint oil causes this effect. Side effects are not yet known, but boredom that makes you want to try something like this should be cause for concern.

I-Dosing (audio drug)

This method does not require any substances and uses music to achieve a digital high. Using headphones, a person listens to different sounds or beats in each ear. The result is that the listener feels a wonderful sound "inside the head." Some reported feelings and sensations similar to those of using marijuana or acid. Experts say music can disrupt the body's vital rhythms and sleep cycles.

Vodka Tampons and Vodka Eyeballing (vodka)

Teenagers like to use things for other purposes. The past few years have seen a surge in fad drinking methods. It turns out that teenagers have enjoyed soaking tampons in vodka and are inserting them where the sun doesn't shine, or pouring vodka directly into their eyes. The logic is simple - a thinner skin membrane and a high concentration of blood vessels in these “certain” places allow alcohol to be absorbed faster. This is true, but the problem is that the alcohol goes directly into the bloodstream in higher concentrations than if it had been processed by the liver first. This may result in alcohol poisoning or damage to the eyes and chocolate eye.

Nutmeg

Yes, that's right, nutmeg. Nutmeg essential oil contains small amounts of myristicin, a psychoactive drug. Teenagers eat, drink and smoke this spice to get some form of high. The sensations reported range from a slight "buzz" in the head to hallucinations. Side effects sound more serious. These include drowsiness, nausea, vomiting, headaches and dizziness.

Snorting Smarties (candy)

This is just stupid. In American schools there is a joke where you are asked to eat something or put something up your nose. It turns out that it has now become fashionable to inhale candy. The only thing worth saying about this "trend" is that one of the side effects is the possibility of getting nasal maggots.

For the sake of new sensations or a source of inspiration, it is not necessary to take risks with psychotropic substances.

Creative people are constantly in search of new emotions, unusual sensations and vivid impressions in order to subsequently pour out their experiences in creativity. Often, in search of inspiration, artists and creators begin to experiment with substances that can alter consciousness. And then they simply can’t imagine how they can create without drugs.

However, there are ways to create unrealistic sensations without using mind-altering drugs. You can hack the brain with much simpler means at hand - or without them at all. You can induce hallucinations, tactile illusions and other “glitches” without drugs. There are scientifically proven parapsychological methods for this.

Ganzfeld effect

Tune in to a radio wave with white noise (“Shhhhh…”) and put on headphones. Then cut the ping pong ball in half and glue it to the eyes. Turn on a red light source in front of your face. Lie quietly and wait for the effect. After half an hour or an hour, the brain will get tired of the lack of visual and audio stimuli, and it will begin to generate its own images. Some people see flying horses, some talk with deceased relatives, but everyone, without exception, falls into a state of deepest relaxation.

Ganzfeld (German: “empty field”) is a technique of “guideless, empty field”, which forms a dreamlike state of consciousness of the person being studied against a background of deep relaxation. Awake and relaxed, but isolated from normal sensory stimuli, the subject withdraws into himself, focusing on the images that flow uncontrollably into his consciousness.

The candle was burning

You can immerse yourself in an altered state of consciousness using the ancient method of fortune telling with two mirrors and a lit candle. The candle is installed between the mirrors in such a way that, as a result of re-reflection in the mirrors, an endless path of candles is obtained. The candle flame flickers at the frequency of the alpha rhythm of the human brain (8-13Hz), which certainly contributes to immersion in a meditative state. Instead of a candle, you can use LEDs or liquid crystal color panels.

Reducing pain with binoculars

If you have a painful wound on your body, look at it through binoculars turned the wrong way. Or just bite your finger to make it hurt a little. Through binoculars, a wound or finger will appear smaller than it actually is. As a result, the pain will ease.

Thus, research conducted at Oxford University led to the discovery of a new pain reliever - inverted binoculars. Scientists have demonstrated that if you look at the injured part of the body through binoculars from the side that makes objects smaller, the pain decreases and the swelling subsides. Researchers say even basic bodily sensations such as pain vary depending on what we see.

False feelings

Hide one hand under the table or cover it with something. Instead, place a dummy hand on the table (you can use a glove and an empty sleeve). Ask your partner to hit the dummy with a stick or knife. Incredible, but true: you can feel pain, although only a dummy has suffered. Your brain will mistake the rubber hand for a real one.

Purkinje effect

Turn your face towards the sun, close your eyes and move your hand in front of them. After a few seconds, multi-colored images will appear.

Scientifically, the Purkinje Effect is a shift in spectral light sensitivity during the transition from daylight vision, for which the maximum corresponds to the wavelength of yellow-green tones (555 nm), to twilight lighting, for which the maximum corresponds to bluish-green tones (500 nm). In particular, in twilight lighting, the colors of objects become colder, reds and yellows become duller, and blues and greens become brighter.

The effect of doing nothing

Professor Dr. Donald Hebb conducted an interesting experiment. For a daily allowance of $20, 46 students were given a targeted task of being lazy. They lay down in a soft bed, located in a room isolated from noise. They wore glasses over their eyes, allowing only the flickering of milky light to pass through. Gloves and cardboard tubes were put on their hands so that they could not perceive any external impressions.

The students initially found the experience to be enjoyable fun. They slept for the first hours, but then after waking up they became increasingly restless. As a result, only one survived the experiment to the end, spending more than five days doing nothing.

Students talked about visual and auditory hallucinations that they experienced during the experiment: colorful motley disks and squares that floated in front of their blindfolded eyes. They saw lines and patterns, then prehistoric animals, yellow people, mammoth fangs, transparent hands, giants, heard voices and sounds.
