Insomnia is New York. New York is insomnia. We have a 24/7 metro system, last call at 4am, and 24hr restaurants everywhere. Leave the office, stay up all night and catch a cab, because in a few hours, it’s time to get to the office and start it all over again. But you toss and […]

Ambien or zolpidem is a prescription hypnotic of the imidazopyridine class. It is the chemical relative of Sonata (zaleplon), Imovane (zopiclone) and Lunesta (eszopiclone). Colloquially, these nonbenzodiazepine drugs are referred to as “Z-drugs” and are some of the most commonly prescribed “oh just go to bed already” drugs. The Z-drugs work their magic via potentiating […]

Religions even exempt caffeine from restrictions on intoxicants because no one would worship a god that didn’t let you have a tea or a Coke. Caffeine is an addictive psychostimulant drug.

Mephedrone (4-methylmethcathinone) — also known as MCAT and drone — is a powerful stimulant of the cathinone class. It’s that beautiful baby MDMA and cocaine would have together I mentioned earlier. While a constituent of “bath salts,” it’s better known in Europe as “plant food” and was readily available online. Mephedrone’s strong stimulation and high […]

Kratom (Mitragyna speciosa) is a tree native to Southeast Asia. The leaves are filled with dozens of alkaloids and quite a few are psychoactive. Mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine are the most important alkaloids in Kratom. They’re both opioids.

Phenazepam or “da joose” is a benzodiazepine drug that expresses the 5 typical benzo actions: sedative, hypnotic, anxiolytic, anticonvulsant and muscle relaxant. In other words — chill out, go to bed, stop worrying, stop seizing and stop twitching. Phenazepam is just as dangerous as any other CNS depressant and is habit forming. Mixing it with […]

Some of you might be asking, B-Phizzle, how the hell did you graduate university when you’re so busy putting bath salts down your tear ducts or blacking out for days at a time on homemade 1000 proof liquor? No one wants to hear “study and hard work.” This is New York. We don’t have time […]

MDPV, methylenedioxypyrovalerone, or “bath salts” is a research chemical or designer drug of the stimulant class. In the UK, they have 4-MMC or mephedrone, which is like if coke and MDMA had a baby and I could put that baby up my nose. But I’m here to talk about MDPV… for now. Never listen to […]
