5/24 - I had a really really bad flare up. Along with my usual eczema patches - I woke up to small red dots that only continued to multiply/itch/burn. I frl lost all self esteem and was so lost, I kept scrolling through this Reddit page to see if anybody else has experienced this haha.
I have emailed my doctodermatologist and I’m still waiting for a response :( - luckily took matters into my own hands. I requested an allergy test. After researching, I think I either have/had: contact dermatitis OR rosacea.
Things I did: -took out scented beads + drying sheets from my laundry -got a dehumidifier -got a UV allergen vacuum cleaner > vacuumed my bed before I sleep -placed air purifier in my bedroom -only used cleanser (cerave hydrating) and moisturizer -stopped using makeup > SLOWLY introducing new “””eczema friendly””” products back into routine as I have too many events this month :(. Specifically invested in : saie, tower28
knock on wood ~ 10 days later, my red dots and rashes are completely gone, only light scars are present!!! i still have my usual eczema spots, but so so glad the bumps have disappeared.
***I am NOT a doctor and my method might not work for you - I just wanted to share how I was able to clear up this unknown allergy/eczema/rash attack.

I have severe pollen allergies and looking to buy an air purifier for my appartement. I noticed these two which look similar, anyone have an opinion about which one is better overall? Strangely the Philips advertises lower CADR but higher room surface capacity, not sure what to make of that.

Hey guys, it is coming with a lot of delay, but here it is – the practical part of the complete amphetamine purification guide that I announced ages ago.
First, a few things upfront.
Due to time and space constraints, it is not possible for me to cover and list all potentially possible purification methods that exist.
Therefore, I have focused on the ones that, in my experience, make some sense. So, things like recrystallization from an alcoholic solvent are not included because, in my opinion, it is a complete waste of time when it comes to amphetamine.
Furthermore, when it comes to purifying an unknown mixture, the problem is that it is not possible to choose the simplest possible method, as it strongly depends on which impurities need to be separated.
Therefore, I can only advise everyone who consumes regularly/daily to spend some money and invest in the necessary equipment for liquid-liquid extraction/acid-base extraction, as it is the most effective method apart from distillation when you don't know which substances you want to separate.
Lastly, a note:
All the procedures mentioned here are based on the assumption that the amphetamine is in the form of sulfate, as it is the case in 99.99% of all instances.
Most of the procedures should also work with other salts, but that strongly depends on the specific salt.
If you are unsure, start with a small amount to test it. I hope I don't have to mention that I assume all the chemicals involved are acquired in the highest possible purity and should preferably be anhydrous to avoid losses.

"Washing" speed or purifying it through filtration.

I consider washing your speed to be the minimum you should always do for your own sake because, honestly, it requires almost no effort, and the costs for everything you need are minimal, so there's practically no reason not to do it.
The procedure itself theoretically works with a wide range of solvents, but in practice, 2.5 solvents have proven to be effective: acetone, dichloromethane/chloroform, and in some cases, isopropyl alcohol.
Washing primarily helps to remove synthesis residues, solvent residues, caffeine, and in the case of isopropyl alcohol, lactose. The principle is the same in any case: The solvent dissolves the corresponding impurities but not the amphetamine sulfate, and after mixing the speed with the solvent, the sulfate is separated from the solvent through filtration.
I would advise everyone to determine the amount of solvent based on the assumption that 100% of your speed consists of caffeine, that is, based on the solubility of caffeine in the respective solvent. Isopropyl alcohol is the least preferable option because it only dissolves 1g of caffeine per 100ml, so I would recommend using it only if lactose is also present.
Acetone is the best choice for small amounts because it is relatively safe to handle. Acetone dissolves 1g of caffeine per 50ml, so I would use 50ml of acetone per gram of speed.
Dichloromethane and chloroform are the best options, but since both substances have a certain level of toxicity, caution should be exercised when working with them. They dissolve 1 gram of caffeine with just 7ml. For washing purposes, I would simply use 10ml per gram of speed for simplicity. In general, it is also recommended to perform two or more washing cycles because a single cycle will never achieve the same efficiency.
The concept and execution are the same for all:
​
Required equipment:

• 2 glasses,
• a spoon,
• a coffee filter,
• and the solvent are all you need, in my opinion.

​
Execution:
Allow the speed to dry and then finely chop it. This will provide a more optimal surface area, making it easier to remove impurities.
Once that's done, take the speed and put it in one of the glasses.
Then pour the solvent into the glass and stir it with the spoon for a bit. Stir a bit longer, around 1-2 minutes.
Wait for another 5 minutes, then take the coffee filter and place it over the second glass like a funnel.
Once that's done, simply pour the contents of the first glass through the coffee filter into the second glass and wait for all the solvent to drain through the filter.
The amphetamine sulfate will still be in the coffee filter since it doesn't dissolve and can be scraped together after tearing or cutting open the filter.
Once the powder no longer has any odor, it can be consumed.

Purification through fractional recrystallization:

This method is based on the principle that when a mixture of substances dissolved in hot water is cooled, the substances that are less soluble in water compared to the other substances precipitate first. This is particularly true for caffeine, which is almost always present in speed, but certain sugar alcohols and substances like creatine can also be effectively separated using this method, which cannot be achieved through, for example, an acetone wash.
For example, caffeine is 33 times more soluble in boiling water compared to its solubility in water at room temperature, while the solubility of amphetamine sulfate only changes by a factor of 7.
To remove synthesis byproducts, it is still advisable to wash your speed first. However, this is not a prerequisite.
​
Required equipment:

• A Kettle or a pot,
• A Coffee filter,
• 2x beakers/glasses,
• A Pasteur pipette 5ml (optional),
• A Glass rod or spoon for stirring

​
Required chemicals:

• Distilled water

​
Procedure:
First, the distilled water needs to be heated to boiling. The easiest way to do this is with a kettle, but a stovetop and pot will also work if necessary.
While the water is slowly coming to a boil, fill a beake glass with the (previously dried and finely chopped) speed. Then, drop by drop and while stirring, add hot water until everything is dissolved.
As a rough guideline, you can estimate that approximately 4ml of water will be required, but this may vary slightly.
Next, let it cool to room temperature and then place it in the refrigerator for about 2 hours.
Meanwhile, place the coffee filter over the second glass. After the 2-hour period, the caffeine should be clearly visible as cotton-like needles in the beaker glass from the refrigerator.
Pour the contents troughthe coffee filter, collecting the filtrate in the second beaker glass.
What remains in the filter is the caffeine, while the amphetamine salt is now in the second beaker / glass. Transfer its contents onto the plate and allow the water to evaporate.
Once the water has evaporated, the residue only needs to be scraped together and is ready for consumption. Alternatively, it can be directly filled into a nasal spray.

Liquid-Liquid Extraction/Acid-Base Extraction

This method is not suitable for casual consumers as it involves a more complex procedure and requires some equipment and chemicals investment. However, most of the costs are one-time purchases, so they won't be incurred in subsequent runs.
This is the method I would personally recommend to regular consumers as it is significantly more effective than others, second only to distillation. However, this method involves working with potentially hazardous substances such as concentrated sulfuric acid, concentrated sodium hydroxide, and others. While handling them safely is possible, there is a potential risk involved.
The method combines the concept of liquid-liquid extraction with the acid-base salt concept, which ultimately achieves significant effectiveness.
Liquid-liquid extraction is a classic separation method in organic chemistry commonly used for processing reaction mixtures. It utilizes the differential solubility of substances in two immiscible solvents (e.g., watedichloromethane). According to the Nernst distribution law, different substances will ultimately accumulate in the solvent in which they are more soluble.
Subsequently, the amphetamine base is released from the amphetamine salt, causing a drastic change in solubility. This allows for the extraction of the amphetamine base and separation of all substances that do not undergo this salt/base transition, including water-soluble and less water-soluble compounds.
During the practical implementation, there are a few aspects that may vary depending on the choice of solvent, among other factors. Therefore, it is advisable for everyone to understand and internalize the information provided before carrying out the practical procedure. Link to reference/04%3A_Extraction/4.06%3A_Step-by-Step_Procedures_For_Extractions)
Required Equipment:

• One set of (6+) beakers (250ml - 500ml)
• 1 separatory funnel with stopper (250ml-500ml)
• 1 stand to hold the separatory funnel (1 stand base, 1 stand rod, 1 stand clamp or ring)
• 1 glass rod
• 1 scale
• 1 pH indicator paper
• 1 glass pipette

Chemicals:

• Distilled water
• Acetone
• Alcohol-based solvent (such as isopropanol), preferably 99.5% or higher
• Sulfuric acid (as concentrated as possible; if concentrated sulfuric acid is not available for purchase, you can concentrate it yourself Link)
• A non-water-soluble, relatively nonpolar solvent (I recommend DCM)

I will explain the practical procedure using dichloromethane (DCM) as it has a convenient density for the process, is highly effective for caffeine, and evaporates rapidly.
Practical Procedure:
Personal protective equipment (goggles, lab coat or apron) should be worn at all times. It is recommended to wear a pair of nitrile disposable gloves with a pair of latex disposable gloves over them. If any chemical contacts the gloves, immediately remove them, wash your hands, and put on a fresh pair. This precaution will help prevent any chemical burns. Always wear protective goggles to safeguard your eyesight when working with any chemicals.
​

1. Wash the speed with acetone.

​

1. Purity the amphetamine sulfate by "shaking it out".

First, the amphetamine is naturally purified as a salt. Dissolve the speed in sufficient water and add the corresponding nonpolar solvent to the separatory funnel.
The ratio of water to organic solvent should be roughly 2:1 in terms of volume. Each phase separation should be given approximately 30 minutes. The amphetamine salt will be present in the aqueous phase, which, in the case of DCM/water, would be the upper phase, while the nonpolar impurities would be in the organic phase at the bottom of the separatory funnel. The extraction should be performed three times, meaning that after each phase separation, the organic solvent is drained into a separate beaker, and fresh organic solvent is added. Once that is done, drain the water+speed solution into another beaker and clean the separatory funnel.
​

1. Preparation of sodium hydroxide solution.

To release the base, sodium hydroxide solution is required. Start by adding 10ml of distilled water to a 100ml beaker. Weigh out 7g of sodium hydroxide and add it slowly (with pauses) to the beaker containing the distilled water in small portions, stirring with a glass rod (Caution! The solution reacts exothermically, meaning it becomes hot!). Once all the sodium hydroxide has been added, set it aside and let it cool.
​

1. Releasing the amphetamine base.

Clean the separatory funnel with distilled water and acetone, then refill it with the amphetamine sulfate/water solution.
Slowly add the sodium hydroxide solution in small portions, following the instructions provided in the link. Shake while venting the funnel and repeat this process until small oily droplets form on the surface.
Caution! This process is also exothermic!
Then, using a pipette, take a sample from the lower aqueous phase and test if the pH value is strongly alkaline (pH >= 13).
If that's the case, close the separatory funnel with the stopper and wait for the solution to cool.
​

1. Extracting the amphetamine base.

After a short waiting period, add the organic solvent in an initial ratio of 1:2 (organic solvent) to (water). Shake vigorously, let it settle, and then drain the organic solvent+base mixture into a beaker.
Note that in the case of DCM, the base will be in the lower phase since DCM has a lower density than water. In other solvents, it may be different.
Then add the same amount of organic solvent again. Shake, let it settle, etc., and drain the organic solvent into the same beaker again.
Repeat this process for three extractions without adding new water. Once that is done, drain the water into a separate beaker as well.
​

1. Drying the amphetamine base.

First, dry the solvent+base mixture by using anhydrous potassium carbonate or molecular sieve A3, and separate the drying agent as in the washing step trough filtration.
Allow the organic solvent to evaporate.
The base is not as volatile as one might think, so depending on the solvent, you can apply some heat if necessary.
​

1. Formation of amphetamine sulfate.

Once the base is dried and the solvent is evaporated, the salt is formed.
Dissolve the amphetamine base in the alcoholic solvent in a beaker.
The base-to-solvent ratio can be about 1:10. Stir the mixture with the glass rod and then prepare the sulfuric acid. It is recommended to dilute the sulfuric acid for this step, possibly to 20% or lower.
Dilute it in the alcoholic solvent and not in water because water could dissolve the salt, resulting in lower yields compared to diluting sulfuric acid in an alcoholic solvent.
Pour the diluted sulfuric acid into a pipette and slowly add it drop by drop to the base-alcohol mixture while stirring.
Take your time and don't rush. Regularly and frequently monitor the pH during the addition, ideally after every few drops.
Once the pH reaches around 8-7, stop adding acid.
​

1. Washing the formed sulfate.

Afterward, filter the mixture and rinse the sulfate in the filter cake with acetone.
​
That's it! You have completed the process.
General notes:
Please note that without knowing the exact purities, we cannot work with stoichiometry. Therefore, we will rely on the pH value for approximate measurements. However, there are rough estimates for the amounts needed per gram of speed.
For every mole of amphetamine sulfate, you would need approximately 2 moles of sodium hydroxide. This translates to around 3.09 ml of a 1.75 molar sodium hydroxide solution per 10 grams of amphetamine sulfate.
During neutralization, we would require approximately 1 mole of sulfuric acid for 2 moles of amphetamine base. This amounts to about 2.8 grams of sulfuric acid per 10 grams of amphetamine. It is advisable to dilute the sulfuric acid to around 20/25%. This makes it more manageable, but you will need to dilute it yourself.
Commercially available sulfuric acid is sold as a solution in water, and the higher the water content, the lower the yield you will obtain. Therefore, it is recommended to purchase sulfuric acid with a relatively low percentage, concentrate it, dissolve it in isopropanol, and then use it.
Additionally, familiarize yourself with the entire process, including practical execution, by referring to internship papers from universities, which are intended for their students, for example.
Pay attention to details such as regular pressure release, as they are crucial.
Theoretically, you can also carry out the neutralization directly in acetone.
This would eliminate the need for an additional alcoholic solvent. I had this in mind because 1L of 99.5% isopropanol costs me less than two euros, while acetone costs about six times as much.
Regarding the polarity of the alcoholic solvent, I would not recommend going higher than methanol. In methanol, the sulfate would be soluble, even if only to a minimal extent.
Do not worry about exposing the base to certain temperatures or leaving it exposed to air for a while. Significant evaporation should not be a concern unless the temperature exceeds 60-80 degrees Celsius.
It is possible to use other acids instead of sulfuric acid if, for example, phosphoric acid is more affordable. Phosphoric acid is also easier to handle. The pH of the solution would be only slightly different in the end. Please conduct further research on this topic.
Please ensure that you are mentally coherent during the process. Avoid attempting the procedure after several sleepless nights, for example. While the overall procedure is not difficult to complete without incidents, if you forget to release the pressure from the separation funnel due to lack of sleep and it explodes in your hand or you get splashed with highly concentrated sulfuric acid, you will encounter significant problems.
Finally, consider how to handle the waste products. Most of them can either be evaporated or disposed down the drain, such as sodium hydroxide. However, do not attempt to dispose of sulfuric acid in this manner.

Steam Distillation:

This method is only suitable for people who really want to achieve maximum purity and are willing to invest a significant amount of money and engage in safe practices in organic chemistry.
Steam distillation is a special form of azeotropic distillation.
Simply put, volatile compounds that are steam-volatile add their own vapor pressure to the vapor pressure of water. These compounds distill along with water when the sum of their vapor pressures reaches atmospheric pressure.
In other words, the distilling water "carries" certain substances with it, allowing them to distill below their actual boiling point and separate them from a mixture. The method is very gentle on the substances and highly selective, as only a few substances are steam-volatile. Amphetamine is one of these substances.
To perform this method, you will need specific equipment and ideally have experience with laboratory work. It's important to know what you are doing to avoid compromising your yield or, worse, encountering significant problems.
Assuming you have already liberated the amphetamine base and have it solvent-free, either through the method mentioned above or by some other means, it is essential to familiarize yourself with safe distillation practices beforehand. You can refer to resources like Chapter 19 here.
Required Equipment:

• 1x Three-necked distillation flask with ground glass joints (NS 24/29)
• Multiple ground glass caps and stoppers (NS 24/29)
• 1x Liebig condenser with ground glass joint (NS 24/29)
• 1x Distillation head with vertical side arm, 2 NS 29/32 cores, 1 NS 14/23 socket
• 1x Distillation thermometer NS 14/23
• 1x Magnetic stirrer with heating plate or heating mantle,
• 1x heating plate
• Multiple hoses with matching ground glass connectors (NS 24/29)
• At least two stands with clamps
• 2x Three-necked flask as a steam kettle with a capacity according to requirements (ground glass joint 24/29)
• 1x Two-necked flasks as collection vessels for the distilled amphetamine (ground glass joint 24/29)

​
Assembly of the distillation apparatus:
First, place the stand on a stable surface and secure it with clamps.
Next, securely attach the three-necked distillation flask to the stand and place it on the magnetic stirrer with heating plate.
Make sure the flask is stable and upright, without wobbling.
Initially, attach the ground glass caps (NS 24/29) and stoppers (NS 24/29) to the necks of the distillation flask.
For the "steam kettle," use a second three-necked flask with ground glass joints (NS 24/29).
Seal the middle, long neck with a stopper and place a riser tube on the inlet neck of the flask for added safety.
Secure the "steam kettle" with a stand to ensure its stability.
Connect the outlet of the steam kettle to the inlet neck of the three-necked distillation flask (NS 24/29) using a hose and a suitable ground glass connector (NS 24/29).
Next, connect the ground glass outlet (NS 24/29) of the distillation flask to the ground glass inlet (NS 24/29) of the Liebig condenser using a distillation head with vertical side arm, 2 NS 29/32 cores, 1 NS 14/23 socket.
Align the condenser so that the upper part (inlet) of the condenser is positioned above the distillation flask, and the lower part points towards the collection vessel.
Attach a distillation thermometer with NS 14/23 joint to the socket of the distillation head. The length of this thermometer should correspond to your specific requirements, meaning it should only measure the temperature of the gas phase and not dip into the liquid.
Check that all connections are tight and stable. Finally, connect the lower end of the Liebig condenser to another two-necked flask with a ground glass joint (NS 24/29) using an appropriate connector.
Insert the connector into the inlet neck of the two-necked flask.
This two-necked flask serves as a collection container for the distillate and should also be secured by a stand.
It should have two necks because a screw valve with ground glass joint 24/29 is screwed into the remaining free neck.
This valve allows the release of any pressure if necessary.
Once everything is set up, perform a test run and distill a certain amount of water as a trial. If everything is sealed, stable, and without any issues, you can proceed. Otherwise, disassemble everything and reassemble it carefully.
​
Practical procedure:
First, add approximately five to ten times the volume of water compared to the corresponding amount of amphetamine, along with boiling stones, into the steam kettle and seal it tightly with a stopper.
Then, add the amphetamine base into the distillation flask and seal it tightly with a stopper as well.
Now, heat both the steam kettle and the distillation flask to 100 degrees Celsius, but stir the contents of the distillation flask gently.
Carefully monitor the distillation process.
The hot water in the steam kettle will act as carrier steam, vaporizing the amphetamine. The distilled amphetamine condenses in the Liebig condenser together with the water vapor and flows into the collection vessel.
Pay close attention to the temperature of the water vapor during the process. While the distillation process is in progress, the temperature will fluctuate and may not stabilize at a constant 100 degrees Celsius. Once the distillation process is complete, the temperature of the water vapor will stabilize and settle at 100 degrees Celsius.
At this point, you can stop the distillation process and separate the distilled amphetamine base from the water using liquid-liquid extraction.
Important: First, remove the steam inlet connection from the distillation flask! If you don't do this first and instead turn off the heat sources, a vacuum will be created in the steam kettle as the cooling water vapor condenses. If the inlet connection dips into the solution, the entire contents of the distillation flask will be sucked into the kettle.
Additional Notes:
The distillation flask should be filled to a maximum of two-thirds of its capacity at the beginning of distillation, which should be considered when purchasing the flask.
The steam kettle should have a volume several times greater than the volume of amphetamine because, in case of any unforeseen circumstances, you may need significantly more water than amphetamine.
The uniform heating of the steam kettle is not critical, but remember to include boiling stones. However, it is crucial to ensure even heating of the amphetamine.
An oil bath would be ideal as a heat source, but a magnetic stirrer with a heating plate will also suffice.

When I was 11, my dad died and my mother fell into a deep mental health crisis. She stopped cleaning the house, stopped cooking, stopped doing anything except going to work and sleeping. My brother was still in diapers at the time, and I was homeschooled and not allowed out of the house. I remember the bathroom stacking up with dirty diaper after dirty diaper when she'd give him a bath. I remember our dog messing up the living room every day. After the crisis began to clear, she had incredible anxiety separating from items, so the hoarding stayed and continues to this day. It's not as bad as it was, but there were days in middle and highschool where there wasn't an inch of floor visible, and I couldn't get the stench off of me.
My mom kicked me out at 17. For the last two years, I've lived relatively stress free and bounced from place to place. My first major purchase was an air purifier that I thank god for. I have one cat, and I neurotically clean her litter box and the bathroom to eliminate any smells that pop up. I'm nose oriented now and I like my peace.
When I saw my ex boyfriend a bit ago, his dog made a mess in the house while I was inside, no ventilation. Instead of responding normally, I started having a panic attack and crying. I feel uneasy around mice/rats because of the years that they'd pile up in sticky traps in our house. If I get harassed by flies at work, I can't settle down and feel depressed/anxious the rest of the day. Roaches are the only pest I can somewhat stand, and even then that's only because I only see them at work. Smells drive me insane. I don't like big dogs because their smell reminds me of home.
When people talk about nostalgia over their teenage years, I don't get any. Everything was always filthy and no one wanted to be around me. I hate that I fall into crying fits at the smell of mold. I hate that I can't have people over at my house very often because I'm paranoid about keeping everything clean.
My mother and I's relationship has never been better, but it's still difficult because I don't know how to reconcile it in my head. She's mentally unwell, but I resent her. I feel angry that I can't smell something rotring and just go "ew". I'm resentful that I can't look at pests or dogs and not feel disgust that shakes me to my bones. I'm angry that I can't be harassed by a fly without feeling intense flashbacks.
I just wish it didn't haunt me anymore.

I was addicted to smoking tobacco and weed, and at one point I was hooked to coke, I never reached such a state of devastation, but from experience I can sort of understand what this people are feeling, to a certain extent. This is basically Hell. These people are in a mental turmoil and chaos, emotional, physical and mental torture. Slaves of the drugs. They spend all their days probably stealing and finding ways to make money, out of recycling junk etc, just to buy drugs from a dealer, that is part of a hierarchy of narcos. They're the resource of the drug lords, they steal, recycle trash and all of that to make them rich. The world moves in really weird ways. You see them destroyed, skinny, homeless, but they make the druglords rich, its really ironical, the source of their brief happiness are the drugs. It's so absurd how this arises in the universe, this movement of particles/energy/matter, giving rise to this which we call "homeless drugaddict humans". This is 100% result of capitalistic culture, I am not against or in favor of capitalism, idc really, Im not a socialist nor capitalist, I like science, I like physics, chemistry, etc, and to analyze life from that perspective, im not into ideologies, but that which people refer to as capitalism makes of everything a commodity, nature is a commodity, you look at an amazing landscape and if you look at it from the modern capitalistic perspective you just see resources, wood, stone, water to sell bottled, gold, granite for kitchen counters, etc. We're disconnected from something deeper, something that is more meaningful. This is why I like certain ancient philosophies, like Taoism, that teach to be empty of desire, because the more you use external things for pleasure, the more dependent on them you become, the more "needy" and "poor", if you need drugs, alcohol etc, you're a slave, but if your satisfied with nothing, just breathing air, and, closing your eyes, and relaxing, meditating, being comfortable in your own skin, snug, feeling warm and compelte, looking at the skies, drinking fresh water, going for a nice walk in nature, and then returning home, and just moving your body, I do Qi Gong for example, it is meditation in movement, you make repetitive movemnts and imagine that you are moving your energy, and connecting and exchanging energy with the cosmos, letting the old stagnant used energy go to the ground htrough your feet, and the ground recycles this energy, and pure clean energy descends from the sky into the top of your head, and you move this energy, etc, look up "Qi Gong" in youtube, you'll find a wealth of info, its really pleasant.
The idea is letting go of things, in the Tao Te Ching it says "In the persuit of learning everyday something is acquired, in the persuit of Tao everyday something is dropped, less and less is done until you reach non action", Non action is pure flow, you flow in whatever you do, like writing this text for example, just letting the words come out of the top of my mind and into the keyboard. I hope people can start to change, and take the easy path, the effortless path of life, of not needing anything, obviously its better to teach it to kids and make them understand drugaddiction through other means, like depriving them from food, say, when they're like 15, that they can fast for like 2 days without any threat to health, if they fast for 2 days they will feel a similar pain to drug withdrawal but with food, also can be done with water, and then they take the wter and the food and quench their thirst. THen you tell them that that pain they felt, is experienced by drug users but 1000x more, and the worse part is that when you finally eat food or drink water, its good for you, your body receives it and it is good for your body, and you are satisfied and then you can go many hours without food again and water, and the food and water did good on your body, left oyu feeling better, nourished and hydrated. The difference of drugs is that when you do it, it destroys you, and eventually wht happens is that, after the high is gone, you feel a hell, you feel the discomfort you felt when hungry, but 1000x worse, its worse than the pain of burning sensation, when your hand is burnt with fire, or a red hot stove, and then they need the drug just to feel normal, and when it wears out they are in that hell again, and its a vicious circle, without escape, or seemingly without escape. It destroys you so much that you dont have power of will anymore, so its harder and harder to quit. Some drugaddicts voluntarily get locked up, so that they dont take drugs anymore, and when they are locked they go through a WORSE HELL, they want to get out and do drugs at all costs, they regret locking themselves up, they feel physical agony and sensations that are beyond gruelling, they feel sensations that make them want to kill themselves, some do kill themselves, its so horrible they want to stop living, they dont enjoy life like people who dont consume, a person who doesnt do drugs can enjoy life, be tranquil, go his days without caring much, they go to the gym, feel great afterwards, take a shower get on some dry clean clothes, and feel very snug in their own skin, very comfortable/refreshed and like a million bucks, but the drugaddict is in hell constantly, cant enjoy the simple things of life, they need the drug. Hell indeed.
Now go and enjoy the simple things in life, and if you consume a drug, tobacco or whatever, know that I have quit, know that many people quit, know that you can go back to normal, know that you can find happiness and be content with the simple things again, free at last, take a deep breath of air, purify yourself, let your body heal over time, be in contact with nature, do exercise, sweat, drink good water, eat veggeis, fruits, etc, HEAL!

The idea is letting go of things, in the Tao Te Ching it says "In the persuit of learning everyday something is acquired, in the persuit of Tao everyday something is dropped, less and less is done until you reach non action", Non action is pure flow, you flow in whatever you do, like writing this text for example, just letting the words come out of the top of my mind and into the keyboard. I hope people can start to change, and take the easy path, the effortless path of life, of not needing anything, obviously its better to teach it to kids and make them understand drugaddiction through other means, like depriving them from food, say, when they're like 15, that they can fast for like 2 days without any threat to health, if they fast for 2 days they will feel a similar pain to drug withdrawal but with food, also can be done with water, and then they take the wter and the food and quench their thirst. THen you tell them that that pain they felt, is experienced by drug users but 1000x more, and the worse part is that when you finally eat food or drink water, its good for you, your body receives it and it is good for your body, and you are satisfied and then you can go many hours without food again and water, and the food and water did good on your body, left oyu feeling better, nourished and hydrated. The difference of drugs is that when you do it, it destroys you, and eventually wht happens is that, after the high is gone, you feel a hell, you feel the discomfort you felt when hungry, but 1000x worse, its worse than the pain of burning sensation, when your hand is burnt with fire, or a red hot stove, and then they need the drug just to feel normal, and when it wears out they are in that hell again, and its a vicious circle, without escape, or seemingly without escape. It destroys you so much that you dont have power of will anymore, so its harder and harder to quit. Some drugaddicts voluntarily get locked up, so that they dont take drugs anymore, and when they are locked they go through a WORSE HELL, they want to get out and do drugs at all costs, they regret locking themselves up, they feel physical agony and sensations that are beyond gruelling, they feel sensations that make them want to kill themselves, some do kill themselves, its so horrible they want to stop living, they dont enjoy life like people who dont consume, a person who doesnt do drugs can enjoy life, be tranquil, go his days without caring much, they go to the gym, feel great afterwards, take a shower get on some dry clean clothes, and feel very snug in their own skin, very comfortable/refreshed and like a million bucks, but the drugaddict is in hell constantly, cant enjoy the simple things of life, they need the drug. Hell indeed.
Now go and enjoy the simple things in life, and if you consume a drug, tobacco or whatever, know that I have quit, know that many people quit, know that you can go back to normal, know that you can find happiness and be content with the simple things again, free at last, take a deep breath of air, purify yourself, let your body heal over time, be in contact with nature, do exercise, sweat, drink good water, eat veggeis, fruits, etc, HEAL!

Hi ive been dealing with some allergy symptoms and im getting an air purifier until we move houses since this house has a little mold and i was wondering does running a hepa filter purifier 24/7 mean the air will be free of the spores as long as its turned on or is it not able to keep up like that? TIA Edit: i was thinking of getting the Levoit core 300s since i believe its ozone free and has an air quality measurement

I don't know if it's just me but does anyone smell something in the air describe as a musky dirt like oder? The weather is warming up in San Hoe and it started this week. I have my windows open in my pad along with 3 air purifier and not just in my pad I smell it everywhere, at work and other people's houses. When I ask people around me, they don't know. A phantom smell maybe and I've smelt it in past years. Is it just me?

Hi, so i bought some incense and was planning on lighting it until i realized it might be harmful for my little dude. His enclosure is in my room and i have a window i open often for air flow as well as an air purifier. If i keep the window open will it be okay or should i just skip it all together?
