I had just recently purchased benzocaine powder as a topical analgesic. Unfortunately that shit has some nasty side effects at high doses. Caused bruising up and down my leg. It does something to the red blood cells, makes em extra sludgy or something. Still, seems useful to have around.

And I was given curcumin recently. There's no good scientific evidence for it but some people swear by it and it was free after all.

The more effective things I use are kratom and alcohol. Weed helps keep me calm but I really don't want to be a chronic daily smoker ever again. I get dependent and it's either keep doing it or feel awful. All those things are like that really.

That's why ketamine interests me. You only dose every few months. Expensive treatments though.

Or just get the damned knee fixed but that's been a pain in the ass. For reason, the surgeries don't always make things better, and sometimes they make them worse.

I can't help but thing if I could get in there myself with an arthroscopic device I'd be able to pinpoint what's wrong more effectively. I can feel it after all, a surgeon wouldn't have any biofeedback. For that same reason I believe in cleaning out your own ear wax if necessary, you can feel if you're about to burst your ear drum.

Makes sense, just there are probably laws against that sort of thing.

I'd like to try Kratom but it is also illegal in this country and the suppliers will not ship here. All the worry about addiction is ridiculous since even a person habituated to the most powerful pain killer known (and I do not mean codeine) will be up and moving around by the third or fourth day off it, a bit shakily probably.

I did not know that ketamine had such a lasting effect. It will be interesting to watch Oregon and see what effect, if any, legalization will have. I am betting that hard drug use will not increase since whatever you might want was available on the streets of Portland before legalization.

There's a relative with about the same effects, Mitragyna Hirsuta. Not sure if that'd be legal for you. Good luck proving it's not kratom if you get caught with it though.

I don't know about that, there's got to be a % of people who'd buy drugs if they could find them or if they were legal who don't otherwise. I'd probably smoke a lot more weed if it were easier to get.

I knew guys who would buy up as much of a substance as they could right before laws were passed to make it illegal. In this way they'd have a lifetime supply and could share or deal as they saw fit.

Like research chems? I was just talking about Foxy Meoxy (5 MeO DiPT). That stuff was awesome when it was legal. Like candy flipping but cheap. I wouldn't have minded stocking up on a lifetime supply.

Although when kratom looked like it was going to get scheduled here I was prepared to toss the kilos I had in the trash. The stuff was being treated like heroin pound for pound, which means a very long sentence for personal amounts.

Exactly.

Find a place to bury it if it's that much.
