With the LSD sink, not depicted, the surrounding house melts away, and the sink is overwhelmed by the realization that it is connected to all other sinks by a vast network of intricate plumbing.

I remember my last time on mephedrone (ingredient in bath salts), it was an Iggy Pop show and we snorted too much too fast.
I thought I was going to jump out of my fucking skin, I wanted to grab the air, climb up to the sky and eat the stars, my head contained a V8 engine that ran on fury and pleasure, I could feel mating wolves howling in my veins, I wasn't experiencing, I was launching merciless attacks on the universe with my consciousness.

So yeah, it was ok I guess.

[–]FisherKing22 8 points9 points ago

Mephedrone used to be sold as plant fertilizer. Bath Salts was something else entirely. This explains so much about the public perception of bath salts. Mephedrone was nuts. I've never felt like I've had a chance of getting addicted to hard drugs until I did mephedrone. I woke up at 5pm the day after partying all day on drone and alcohol with a mind numbing headache, chapped lips, and an unrelenting sickness in my stomach and all I could think was, "A little mephedrone might take the edge off." After that I decided never to touch it again. It was easily the best drug I've ever had.

[–]The_other_Aphex_twin 7 points8 points ago

"bath salts" is an umbrella term to refer to any concoction of research chemicals. Every different brand is a different drug.

[–]Thrice_Eye 6 points7 points ago

Eh...not really. Bath salts are the stimulant research chemicals like mephedrone, methylone, bk-mbdb, bk-mdea, etc.

There are hundreds of different research chemicals, not just 'bath salts'.

[–]The_other_Aphex_twin 0 points1 point ago

I wasn't saying that all RCs are bath salts, I was just saying every different "brand" of bath salts varies between a combination of certain RCs.

[–]Thrice_Eye 0 points1 point ago

Alright. Yea any bath salts sold under a brand name can contain anything. That's why the convenience stores and head shops that started selling the shit put the entire rc scene in the spotlight. They sell to anyone who wants to get a quick, cheap high without directions, or warnings and without the user having to do any research on what they are taking.

When I would buy mine, it would only be from online retailers selling it pure and not mixed into predosed packages. I made sure to find all the info and reviews I could before even thinking of trying one.

That being said, these stimulant rc's are extremely addictive and I'm glad I finally got away from them. I had a few months of my life lost last year to very heavy use that I regret, but damn do they make you feel good.

[–]AlwaysDefenestrated 1 point2 points ago

BTW mephedrone and other "bath salts" drugs are probably significantly more neurotoxic than meth, but right now we don't really know. Also it has way worse side effects. You can probably buy both of them at the shady gas station around the corner though, so why not try both?

[–]acespace 6 points7 points ago

"Bath salts" is an incredibly expansive term though. Different ones work differently and do different things.

I read this article at work earlier and was fascinated by it. That gif really drove home what bath salts do to your brain, actually. I read the paragraph two or three times trying to distinguish them and then i saw the gif and had a james-holmes-in-court-realization.jpg moment.

[–]studmuffffffin 12 points13 points ago

Are there dopamine pills that can increase happiness?

[–]Putnam14 19 points20 points ago

Anti-depressants do this. And MDMA and meth. And numerous other "research chemicals".

[–]lordlicorice 6 points7 points ago

Anti-depressants work on serotonin, not dopamine.

[–]unanimous_coward 21 points22 points ago

SSRI's work only on seratonin serotonin. There are tricyclic antidepressants that affect other neurotransmitters (seratonin serotonin, norepinephrine). And there are MAOI antidepressants that indiscriminately block the reuptake stop the breakdown of various neurotransmitters.

So it's not completely accurate to say that antidepressants only work on seratonin serotonin.

EDIT: Correction(s).

[–]Nyarlathotep124 1 point2 points ago

So what happens when a non-depressed person takes a dopamine-increasing antidepressant? Will they turn manic and giggly, or something?

[–]noyurawk 7 points8 points ago

This

[–]unanimous_coward 2 points3 points ago

To be honest, I don't know. I don't even know what the criteria are to say that someone is "non-depressed". You'd be better off asking a doctor of some kind. Sorry!

[–]LucasCrowe 2 points3 points ago

I doubt it. They don't have that much of an effect on most people. The person is likely to feel increased general motivation and interest in life, but they also have to suffer the potential side effects of the drug. Anxiety attacks, insomnia, and seizures are all possible side effects.

[–]electricmice -5 points-4 points ago

anti depressants definitely will not make you happier. that's not really how they work. there is no such thing as happiness. if you take coke you are high, not happy. in my experience, anti depressants are useless. docs are prescribing them like candy. it's what they do. somebody told them this is what you give to depressed people and they do it. psychiatrists really don't know what the fuck they're doing. i bet sending depressed teens onto a farm to do hard labor for 3 months during the summer will cure them more than pills. when the body is strained, it will pull the person back into reality where survival is first and foremost. i really think there are many forms of happiness. when you are in love, it's more of a high type of happiness. sometimes you simply can't be happy because your life is not in order. we don't even understand the mechanisms and causes of depression yet, a blanket all pill is not going to work. btw, instead of using ruffies to rape girls, a guy can probably just give a girl a triple dose of anti depressants and it'll knock her the fuck out. the shit is nasty.

Wellbutrin works with dopamine:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bupropion#Mechanism_of_action

[–]coolplate 1 point2 points ago

hence the ability to stop people from smoking.

[–]mason55 0 points1 point ago

Or norepinepherine (NRI). Or dopamine.

[–]InfantSpore -1 points0 points ago

So does MDMA. Mostly. It's as soon as dopamine enters the equation (meaning, the synapse) that things start getting hairy. You get oxidation products leaking back into your brain, trying to replace the serotonin (that, like the bath salts sink, is overflowing) that's not being taken back in, and generally fucking up your nerve endings and shit.

[–]varukasalt 0 points1 point ago

I think they're called Oxycontin.

[–]TheTacticalApe -2 points-1 points ago

That's a painkiller.

[–]NicholasThunderchild 3 points4 points ago

Exactly..

[–]TheTacticalApe 0 points1 point ago

But it's not exactly a dopamine pill made to increase happiness and nothing else. It's an opiate, it gets you high. Not just "happy"

[–]A5foot5Bob 1 point2 points ago

Wellbutrin, or bupropion, is a dopamine and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor and releaser. When I was on it, I failed a work-related drug test for amphetamines and had to prove that I was on a medication that would do that. That should give you a rough idea of what this chemical is. I lost 15lbs, I got straight A's the two quarters I was on it, I railed my gf at the time good and hard and orgasms were exceptionally satisfying. Everything was actually very satisfying for once. What everyone seemed to call happiness is actually just satisfaction and feeling rewarded with this satisfaction. It seems that with out this pill, I'm incapable of experiencing any real sort of satisfaction and thus explains depression.

[–]Deagle_Shitter 2 points3 points ago

You can also explain what reuptake is.

[–]TheMday 32 points33 points ago

So what is the actual effect of the brain blocking the reuptake?

[–]JayJayJokesterr 38 points39 points ago

Technically when the water is in the sink is equivalent to dopamine stimulating the receptors and actually being used.

So technically the dopamine just stays there, re-stimulating the receptors.

To find out the actual subjective effects, I would suggest trying cocaine. The only true way to find out.

[–]TheMday 32 points33 points ago

Oh believe me I have

[–]CavitySearch 19 points20 points ago

The lack of reuptake causes the brain to down regulate the receptors for dopamine, causing one who is no longer using it to be unable to reach even the normal state again. Thus depression and a sense of malaise can set in.

[–]ADubs62 3 points4 points ago

This is very true and what most people don't understand. While yes the idea that you'll be permanently crippled from trying drugs once is false, it does damage your brain even on the first attempt, the severity varies however.

[–]space_monster 5 points6 points ago

this is a rampantly ambiguous and unqualifiable statement (and also untrue).

firstly, 'drugs' is a useless word in this context. what do you mean by drugs? do you mean recreational drugs?

some drugs can permanently affect your brain chemistry, true, but using them once would have a negligible effect, unless you used a massive dose.

some drugs only affect your brain chemistry temporarily, and have no permanent effects.

also there's a huge difference between physical damage, and a change in brain chemistry due to an adjustment of hormone / neurotransmitter production due to the introduction of a foreign agent.

[–]ADubs62 1 point2 points ago

Yes, a temporary change is not considered damage but those drugs that do physical damage, whether it's damaging the neuropathways or physically destroying a cell do damage alike. A long term change in brain chemistry by anybody looking at the brains functions would call that damage.

[–]Freakazo 0 points1 point ago

[–]Shepard_is_a_man 3 points4 points ago

The phrase "MODS ARE ASLEEP POST SOME SINKS" comes from 4chan where people would post images of sinks with embedded gore or child porn. The more modern usage is more of a spam something innocent approach.

[–]ironfortified 1 point2 points ago

I understand the use of "cheese pizza" but "sinks" still eludes me. Are gore and the like hidden in pictures of actual wash-your-hands sinks or is it just straight up horrifying pictures?

[–]zzyxxy 0 points1 point ago

Embedded in the sink images are archive files containing the intended images.

[–]Pandajuice22 0 points1 point ago

Oh my god... there was CP embedded on those??? I just thought they were being silly and random... oh god I might have saved a sink or two, they were some pretty cool looking sinks.

[–]Shepard_is_a_man 0 points1 point ago

Oh don't worry, people havent done that in years.

[–]ngd25 4 points5 points ago

This analogy is flawed. Cocaine and meth have established formulas so despite the purity, the effects are petty much the same. However, with "bath salts" (I don't even like the name) you are looking at such a HUGE range of chemicals all with different effects that you can't lump them all together like this. It's unfortunate, but the media managed to find a catchy name and whip the public into a frenzy. Designer drugs have been along for waaaaay longer than the term "bath salts" and it makes no sense to categorize them all the same. That's like saying meth, cocaine, Ritalin, and caffeine are all the same because they are all stimulants. Lazy reporting at it's finest.

Not to say that ANY designer drug is safe/a good idea, they aren't. I'm just upset about the media's handling of this whole thing.

[–]ngd25 0 points1 point ago

Also worth noting, the article this comes from is about MDPV, which is a seriously dangerous drug, but has been illegal in America since October of 2011. Way to be, PBS.

[–]greensy 10 points11 points ago

these are cool, I'd like to see the Marijuana sink.

[–]lizardlike 13 points14 points ago

Cannabis increases dopamine release (indirectly, through the cannabinoid receptors) - so I guess the sink analogy would be a regular sink with the faucet turned up just a little bit and the drain open.

But that's a rather incomplete picture as the dopamine system isn't the only system cannabis affects, and we don't really know how most of the other actions work.

[–]sicsemperTrex 16 points17 points ago

maybe the water would be a different temperature too? [5]

[–]CircumcisedSpine 2 points3 points ago

And what part of the bathroom is the serotonin? The toilet? Maybe a bidet?

Show me a full bathroom with MDMA, shrooms, pot and nitrous.

[–]SiHy 8 points9 points ago

All at once?

[–]CircumcisedSpine 0 points1 point ago

Needs to have the legs curled up because the stuff swirling on the floor might eat the feet.

[–]AdrianBrony 4 points5 points ago

a thin layer of grease is coated on the side of the sink and the water (though not Dopamine in this analogy but a different neurotransmitter called Anandamide) can't come into contact with the sides of the sink.

[–]greensy 0 points1 point ago

What's the grease? And does this mean the dopamine is in your brain but not affecting the receptors?

[–]AdrianBrony 1 point2 points ago

the grease is THC. and Dopamine is not water in this analogy. it's Anandamide. Yes, the grease blocks the water from the sink itself like THC blocks Anandamide.

[–]4dseeall 3 points4 points ago

That sink would run a little faster, have a little backup but not overflow. But the water would turn into a rainbow instead of a clear fluid.

[–]goingTofu 4 points5 points ago

[–]MrLOLsteveLOL 6 points7 points ago

Whats with the bath salts thing?

[–]lizardlike 21 points22 points ago

Bath salts can be a number of different chemicals, but the one depicted in the image is most likely MDPV . They became quite a media sensation when someone ate another person's face in Miami and it was reported they were on bath salts. It turns out they weren't, but that was not widely reported.

tl;dr - bath salts are the new "super horror drug" in the media

[–]lordlicorice 15 points16 points ago

I feel bad for all the old family-owned businesses who were barely scraping by selling legitimate bath salts before their product became associated with drugs.

[–]BIRDS_IN_MY_RECTUM 2 points3 points ago

This made me sad.

[–]morpheousmarty 0 points1 point ago

As if the sale of anything ever went down because it was associated with drugs. If anything legitimate bath salts are selling through the roof.

[–]inputnamehere 1 point2 points ago

I have heard legitimate bath salts had a spike in sales.

[–]Kensin 5 points6 points ago

That only makes sense. I mean, it's not something you think about all that often, but suddenly it's all over the news and you're like "Hey, when was the last time I picked up some bath salts? The last ones I got were pretty nice. A little expensive though, and do I really have time for a bath these days? Then again, isn't that the problem? I work hard all the time, shouldn't I be able to take 25 minutes out of my day to relax once in a while? I deserve at least that much after all the shit I've been putting up with lately!" and the next thing you know, you're adding "bed bath and beyond" to the list of errands to run the next day.

tl;dr I own bath salts.

[–]MrLOLsteveLOL 3 points4 points ago

Ah, cheers

[–]moonchild1093 2 points3 points ago

what about adderall vs. ritalin?

[–]lizardlike 2 points3 points ago

Adderall is essentially amphetamine, which works on the dopamine system (among others) - but in a rather complex way. Maybe a neurologist could come up with a good sink analogy?

[–]Violoner -2 points-1 points ago

Adderall is equivalent to meth, Ritalin is equivalent to cocaine.

[–]RandomPratt 8 points9 points ago

equivalent analogous. similar, but nowhere near as potent.

[–]Cunnin_Lynguist 2 points3 points ago

Yes, in terms of pharmacology, Adderall is analogous to methamphetamine and Ritalin is analogous to cocaine. In terms of potency, milligram for milligram, I'd argue that methylphenidate is more potent than cocaine. By my estimates, 20 mg of methylphenidate is equivalent to about 75-90 mg of cocaine.

[–]ThunderSupporter 2 points3 points ago

Bath salts? How do they work? I eat them? What do the contain? Tell me more :) Please

[–]InfantSpore 5 points6 points ago

They're stimulants, like meth or cocaine. They came out to "replace" the effects of MDMA (ecstasy) in a legal form. Whether or not they work depends on what they contain, which is pretty hard to determine. Most of them are MDPV, a chemical similar, but not quite related to MDMA. They could also contain MBDB, bk-MDMA, Methylone, Mephedrone, or a whole slew of other research chemicals. Since there's no safety data available for these chemicals, they aren't illegal, but that also carries the risks of ingesting unknown chemicals that will have an unknown effect. It's the neurological equivalent of drinking a glass of blue liquid. Could be Kool-Aid, could be drain cleaner.

[–]ThunderSupporter 1 point2 points ago

Thanks for explaining :)

[–]InfantSpore 11 points12 points ago

I don't mean to be a dick, but I know somebody else is gonna jump on this as soon as they see it, so I'll try to let you down gently. It was not laced with LSD. That is not only not possible, it would make the weed prohibitively expensive. LSD would be destroyed almost immediately upon contact with any amount of heat, which is why you're supposed to store it in a freezer in an opaque container. LSD is also pretty damn expensive. So, chances are, it was just really good weed, or not weed at all, but something like Spice, K2, or another synthetic cannabinoid. I've had it before, and I guarantee all your friends have, too. I went from "hey, this is kinda nice" to "MY HEART IS GOING TO EXPLODE AND ALL I CAN SEE IS COLORS" in about ten minutes. Also, it's spelled "hallucinogenic" :P

Thank you, I never really questioned it that makes a lot more sence thanks. I allways accepted it as fact. Thank you very much. But isn't pcp highly addictive? I never had the urge to do it again. Maybe because it was not a good expirence for me.

[–]ItzDaWorm -1 points0 points ago

I had something similar happen to me. Just got in a bad state of mine after I threw up and thought I was going to die. My friends who smoked the same stuff told me to stop being high lol. Eventually I got better after watching my friend play CoD for a while and we drove to Wendy's.

Salvia maybe?

[–]InfantSpore 2 points3 points ago

Salvia wouldn't last very long, and from what it sounds like, Dustyrice was in that corner for a while.

LSD can't be smoked, it's a very delicate molecule, and will rapidly decompose in the presence of heat, moisture or air. I can tell you with certainty that your weed was NOT laced with acid.

[–]Dustyrice -2 points-1 points ago

Turns out it was pcp. Thank you reddit for in forming me. I am quite the ignorant person. I had never questioned it. All I knew is was that some of the things I was going through Matched the effects of acid.

[–]Freakazo 2 points3 points ago

You know how you jumped to conclusions with it being laced with LSD, and now

Turns out it was pcp

you jumped onto it being pcp. Yeah, don't do that.

[–]Bastages27 1 point2 points ago

no, it was not LSD, if you smoked LSD, nothing would have happened because LSD decomposes at temperatures that marijuana burns at. Maybe PCP? Idk, I've smoked weed every day for 4 years and obviously know many dozens of people who smoke, and have never once heard of anybody smoking laced weed. That shit just does not happen, unless your friend added something to the bud himself (PCP maybe?). No dealer is going to give you free drugs with your weed purchase.

Can someone make a full drug version of this, please?

[–]Ifriendzonecats 1 point2 points ago

Is there anyway you could do this with eggs and a frying pan?

Are drugs effects on the brain really simple enough to explain through one chemical?

[–]f00dninja 0 points1 point ago

Some may interpret this as bath salts propaganda...

That title gave me cancer

[–]zeevix -1 points0 points ago

As simple as this is, it is a very accurate representation of what is actually happening in your brain.

[–]secaedelcielo -2 points-1 points ago

Mirror?

[–]nohedge -2 points-1 points ago

this is your brain on bath sinks.

[–]Trakis -2 points-1 points ago

normally operating sink=meth meth=normally operating brain?

[–]DishwasherTwig -2 points-1 points ago

So bath salts = meth + cocaine. Got it.

[–]oniontomato -2 points-1 points ago

nice try bath salts distributor

[–]Egotisticeggplant -2 points-1 points ago

sooo what happens if u do meth and bath salts? im assuming its pretty unhealthy whatever it is

[–]Everydaywedo 0 points1 point ago

Does anyone else think that the Meth sink is the one that most people would consider working efficiently? Versus a normal sink that... only drips?

[–]Nyarlathotep124 0 points1 point ago

Wait, so you're telling me if I snort some cocaine after smoking meth, I basically get homemade bath salts?

[–]Sec5ths 0 points1 point ago

It's amazing how we are programmed organic machines. We feel so special, but in the end a simple compound dictates how we behave.

[–]trase -4 points-3 points ago

All this time I had no idea wtf Bath Salts were... Finally looked it up and it's just Meow?
