Saffron: either a few strands in hot water as a tea, or the much more affordable saffron extract tablets; gives a mildly speedy/stimulant effect, genuinely interesting.

Valerian root extract: smells like feet, knocks you off of your feet.

Licorice root: sugar free sweetener that increases your BP in larger amounts, I literally use a stick of it to stir my tea, the sweetness is felt at the back of the mouth and typically comes on as an aftertaste, doesn’t have a strong anise flavour.

Kanna: a small plant from South Africa that an extract of will give entactogen effects (reminiscent of MDMA, but with a much lower ceiling)

Syrian Rue Seeds: seeds which contain harmala alkaloids, the thing that changes DMT into a 3-hour experience in Ayahuasca. The seeds are traditionally used as an incense in Persian/middle eastern cultures.

Ginger: it has 3 different properties if left fresh, dried or cooked. The main spicy component of fresh ginger becomes more pungent if left to dehydrate (dried ginger), or becomes sweeter if cooked/baked from fresh (the molecule literally ends up closer to vanillin, the main flavour of vanilla)

Nutmeg: consumed in a large quantity raw, will causes stoning and mild anticholinergic effects.

Cloves and clove oil will block out a tooth ache.

Poppy seeds have a very small amount of morphine naturally on them, you can make a painkilling tea from them, but I wouldn’t recommend doing this, and would suggest if ever attempted to titrate up slowly.

You can just buy straight linalool terpenes now (the smelly stuff in lavender attributed to sleep).

I drop a couple drops on a stuffed animal or small pillow in bed and it’s like knockout wonder.

insomnia. after the second or third day of no sleep you start seeing some really wild shit.

Sugar. That shit is like meth.

400 mg of l-theanine. Aka two pills. If I don’t take any for a while I start with one otherwise it feels like like a extremely mild stimulant.

Just regulates my mood, and gives me focus in the day. Smooths out caffine too makes me feel less wired, and makes me more awake/cognitive awareness. For the mood part i would compare it to eating a 5mg edible where you don’t feel high but are more smiley and giggly.

It helped with anxiety and I rebound better off poor sleep.

And for those that don’t know its found in green tea or matcha which is originally how I learned about it. I bought matcha powder and noticed it made me feel almost “stoned” or just a weird uplifed mood in the mornings, then just started buying l-theanine. Mornings are supposed to be depressing and a struggle even with coffee so I knew something was wrong.

Tulsi (Holy Basil): Has just enough anti-anxiety properties to quiet the inner voice that keeps me up at night.

Sugar is great for when I’m sleepy in the afternoon (good strong black licorice is a good complimentary to that, since it seems to keep my blood sugar from dropping in the first place)

Definitely black tar heroin oh and English Breakfast Tea, and cats

I get a crick in my neck on occasion and will take valerion by the handful until it goes away. I get a little light headed afterwards.

Apart from caffeine (which is definitely a stimulant and therefore a drug) I also use sweets and other carbs recreationally and to enhance my performance at work.

Caffeine.

Spicy foods.

Favorite foods, like maybe something you only get once in a great while that you really like.

Playing guitar, thrashing a scale up and down without making any mistakes makes you feel like you could eat gods.

Pickle, olive, etc

Staying up until 1 to 2 am. I feel more creative in the evening, but in the night, I don’t have the energy to commit to a vision, so I just kind of imagine a few different things poorly

Cheese. One of its ingredients, casein, can trigger opioid receptors.

Sugar… mostly sugar. I baked a legendary citrus cake yesterday and I’ve had most of it in two sittings.
