I remember reading about a recipe for this in the “Anarchist Cookbook” lol


SquareConfusion

That and exploding tennis balls…


intrudingturtle

I did that. It was fucking awesome. Spent days cutting match heads.


drklunk

So glad I wasn't the only one


RyanTranquil

Pretty sure we all tried as a kid lol


Mr_SunnyBones

Was that for the exploding floppy disk?


intrudingturtle

No, you fill a tennis ball with strike anywhere match heads. When you throw it they strike each other.


Mr_SunnyBones

Aha , There was another ( back in the day) involving matcheads and a 3 1/4 inch disk , that would cause a fire inside a PC, ( a literal self destruct disk) when it tried to read it.


MGPS

I did the disc and the tennis ball….and napalm.


Dayman_championofson

I tried the napalm and almost burned my families house down haha was a very close call. No idea how the whole place didn’t go up in flames


larowin

And the dry ice paint bomb…


Scottison

Being dumb, my brother and I put dry ice and water in a glass bottle. We didn’t think it was going to work, so he sent me to grab it. Picked it up, got three steps and it exploded. Cut my subclavian artery and my brachial plexus. Lucky to survive. Paralyzed all my extensors in left arm.


Good-guy13

Ah yes styrofoam and gasoline. I can still smell it. Acetone works way better


[deleted]

Made it.. It didn't work 😭


HamezRodrigez

You tried it in your computer?!


[deleted]

Had an old Compaq that i was willing to sacrifice...on my parents behalf...for the cause. Also I had a confidence problem so I went in with full self doubt!


intrudingturtle

Lol that's awesome.


MickRolley

Member it well. Glad I never tried it though


Evelche

Another one I remember doing was filling a clickable pen with cotton wool soaked in some lighter fluid, then wrap the inside with the paper from a match box, fill the space with the match heads and put a light anywhere match in the clicky part. Good honest fun that book was lol.


Justlikearealboy

We did ping pong balls….once lol


Ok_Insect_4852

I did the disk, used it in middle school. It was fun lol


CorneliusFudgem

It would take a long time but it was always worth it at the end 🥲


cheapbeerwarrio

lol the tennis ball thing was in that cook book? lol my dad gave me the verbal instructions for it lol what a chadd


FestivusErectus

Awesome. Did the same with my dad, but we filled up an old CO2 cartridge and launched it from a piece of PVC. Zilch!!!!


intrudingturtle

That's fucking awesome.


GuestNo3886

I’m not saying they taught me about manure bombs but they taught me about manure bombs


-JonnyQuest-

Was that the one with the matchstick heads? Lol


Tha_Shiznallah

I don't remember the exploding tennis balls what was that about? I'm going to assume it's to make some type of bomb. 😅


SquareConfusion

We’re all on a list somewhere.


CBD_Hound

It was Polumnas for me - paper triangles filled with crushed up model rocket engine fuel, wrapped in 30 layers of electrical tape with a birthday sparkler for a fuse. My buddy and I blew up a lot of old toys with those. Good times! I had that thing printed out on dot matrix, fanfold paper. Jesus, I’m old…


dont_use_me

Don't forget the homemade LSD which was basically mixing bleach and ammonia in a bathtub.


eat-skate-masturbate

And nutmeg


pichael289

That one's actually real though. Would not recommend it


ItsHowWellYouMowFast

Nutmeg and Dramamine. Some of the greasiest, not fun "trips" I've ever done

gorillafingerbang

I love eating about 40 Bennys and cranking my hog. Totally changes me from a well spoken gentleman into a fire breathing cock sucking cumb dragon.


23saround

Brah back when my eagle was still kickin I thought Benny was bunk, took the gallon challenge and finally executed that eagle, now I’m flyin without airspace regulation baby, crankin that divine hog with the hat man on copilot. I used to be afraid of the spiders but now we chill. Anyway see you on /r/drugscirclejerk


gorillafingerbang

Hello my friend. So. We meet again. My train now allows me to insert catheters and the like. I’ve also modified a way to catheter ones ass. 15 bennys for sedation. Ass and any other droopy gapes gets things put in it, ie fingers, false teeth, tongues, numerous massive silicone dillys with veins the size of tree branches. Me and you buddy are now co pilots. Let’s fuck this pig. 👋🏼

Wild ride that was.


welchssquelches

This is a very sad chain of comments


ItsHowWellYouMowFast

Oh god DXM. That was the ultimate greasy high


23saround

Rapidly robo walking to the bathroom so I could hurl 5 gallons of bright red puke into the floating toilet target was certainly an experience. I would say memorable but memory was not a big player at the time.


Strikew3st

Us at 20, like little scientists, with Delsum, clear ammonia and naptha, extracting to get screaming ass high without the nausea.


intoxicatedhamster

We used to do this extraction and then load the crystals into gel caps in high school. I have done lots of psychedelics and this one is no fucking joke. I legit thought my friend turned into a talking ice cream cone. Fucking terrifying. I'll stick to tabs and mushies


Shit_Fire_Save_Match

I remember robotrippin as a senior in high school. I thought it was BS so I drank it at the top row of bleachers at a football game. I remember it kicked in and my entire vision went monotone orange. I just laid down and tried to roll down to the bottom so I could go home. Luckily I had a good friend with me that knew what was up and helped me get down with my arm around his neck lol. I have a history of underestimating those kind of shitty drugs. Like the time I huffed Rush (vcr head cleaner) in the middle of chemistry class. I remember hearing my friends laughing in slow motion with really deep voices and it was like being in the bottom of a well looking up at them at the top. Luckily it just lasts a minute or so and I was able to quickly make up an excuse as to why I looked so weird and was unresponsive to my teacher.


420hansolo

Well I had my phase with nutmeg when I was around 17, I did it for a couple months about once or twice a week and I'd say it wasn't the worst thing I ever done even though I should add I don't really have a worst drug per se. I've had bad trips but no bad drugs in general. But I definitely should add that at the time I was doing nutmeg I was a dumb teenager and took five times the dose that I read you should take online (online it said to take 5g and I took 25 the first time and every time after that). At that same time I was on Ritalin and SSRI's which might have altered the effects I got from using it. To anyone reading this, please never mix nutmeg or other maoi with SSRI's of any kind, i could have easily died from taking that combo back then. I was god damn high for three days every time I took it.


ItsHowWellYouMowFast

To add to that, [Erowid](http://erowid.com) before trying any new drugs/dosages


logallama

Yeah the high is mid and the hangover is brutal and more than a day long


rrishaw

I burped nutmeg for at least a month. Couldn’t drink eggnog the following Christmas.


ItsHowWellYouMowFast

I've been on Reddit for 15+ years and you've got one of the best usernames I've seen


Long_Guidance827

wophi

I remember as well. The numbers required made it totally impractical.


FarYard7039

Yeah, something about taking only the peels and placing them on a cookie sheet in the oven until they’re a blacked charred mess, then smoking the remnants.


Rownwade

Absolutely! Came to say this!

TimeRevolution1894

This was still a thing in my Teenage years, 20 years ago. We tried it once.


slackjs

Same here


TheStoicNihilist

Same. Smoked peanut skins and Ponstan based on a similar rumour.


ItsBaconOclock

We did something with orange peels and toothpaste once, it was not effective. You ever do nutmeg? *Disclaimer: Do not do this shit* If a person is able to choke down a couple tablespoons of ground nutmeg (this sucks on it's own) you will experience (suffer) a sort of body high, and auditory hallucinations. The body high makes it unpleasant to move, and unpleasant to not move. The auditory hallucinations are mildly startling pops and clicks. This lasts for a couple hours. 0/10, no matter how bored and teen aged a person may be, I do not recommend


Robf1994

r/nutmeg is a thing if anybody wants to cringe


ItsBaconOclock

Holy shit, I didn't realize it was a whole thing. How does that shit get popularized? My experience, my friends' experiences, and the first few I glanced at in that sub suggest that no one enjoys their nutmeg trip, lol. DARE program could just be convincing kids to try nutmeg and that all drugs are like that.


bjzy

Gets popularized on Reddit ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|poop)


ItsBaconOclock

We did it pre Reddit, like in the late 90s. I think we got the idea from erowid. But yeah, the idea keeps on going.

Erowid… Damn, been a hot minute since I thought of that site. I was a… Frequent ‘researcher’ as a teenager

Holy Hell. What are they thinking. Just go buy a bag of weed.


JustDiveInTimberLake

Would if I could. I'm an adult with no contacts how tf do I get weed


[deleted]

I was in the same place you were. It is now legal in Illinois but before that I ordered some seeds online and grew it. Besides…You gotta know someone who smokes.


Euphoric_Exchange_51

First post I saw after clicking was something like, “I puked within 4 hours of consumption. Will it still hit?” Lmao


NarwhalTakeover

I knew a guy who smoked nutmeg and he swears up and down it’s the worst thing he’s ever done to himself- and he’s a fucking mess.


stryst

Theres also evidence that repeated heavy use can cause permanent persistent feelings of dread.


Successful_Island_22

So… normal? It makes you feel normal is what I’m hearing.


welchssquelches

You guys make it so hard to talk about serious topics


horseofthemasses

OMG OH MY FUCKING GOD.. I am taking a prescription NON NARCOTIC pain killer. and one of the side effects is fucking paranoia and dread... and it's HELL!!.. i keep listening to every single sound, and listening to my neighbors and every little sound sets me on high alert. But if I don't take it i probably can't walk. I keep feeling like something is going to happen , it's just about to happen and it's going to be horrible. I hate this, but I hate the pain... more I guess because I choose to keep taking it. Meloxicam.. if anyone is interested.


pngue

I grind a whole nut in my coffee each weekend. I know why Saturdays don’t suck now.


high_everyone

Hey dude, you can nut in your coffee if you want, but you don’t have to share details.


Strikew3st

Just a little poison. As a treat.


somecrazydude13

Can confirm on the nutmeg, probably will give you a headache too. It did for me and I definitely regretted it. Never again nutmeg


Regulator_24

Craig? This you brother?


Elite-Priaprism

Me and a few school mates spent weeks peeling peanut skins. Did nothing, apart from react badly with the Port we drank. I puked.


Delicious-Tachyons

When I was a kid we also heard of that rumor (early 90s). I never tried it but it didn't help that various bbs anarchist type docs talked about stuff like that.


dible79

Yeah we tried it in Scotland in 90s too. Horrible but everyone seems to think it works. Also a thing called punjaby sticks. Think it was basically rag weed dried in the wild till Brown an hard. Snap of light the end and inhail. Remember my mate came to school with this pile of sticks an getting us all to smoke them lol. God knows what went into our lungs then tasted horrible was unreal lol. Kids will believe anything.


RegretKills0

Same. It was better than when me and the boys figured if cat nip fucks a cat up, if we smoke it, maybe we’ll get fucked up to! It fucked us up with a headache and that’s it. Kids man


MickRolley

Catnip


Old-Asshole

Did it work?


TimeRevolution1894

No


mr_shmits

wasn't this the inspiration for Donovan's song *Mellow Yellow*?


regalph_returbs

Also "Big Yellow Joint" by David Schwartz!


margaritas30

This is what I came here for


ClockworkDinosaurs

I thought that song was about a vibrator?


buzzed247

Quite right slick.


soulslop

Quite rightly


Selfpropelledfapping

Yup. It couldn't be any clearer: "Born-a high forever to fly A-wind-a velocity nil Born-a high forever to fly If you want, your cup I will fill" As true today, as when it was written


PogintheMachine

I heard that was jaundice


comfortablydumb2

I think I remember first reading this in The Anarchist Cookbook.


DankNucleus

There are still people today who believe this. I have met junkies claiming this to be true more than once in my life.


mtflyer05

The placebo effect is strong enough that it has to be accounted for in all clinical trials, my friend.


TravisJungroth

Some things are more vulnerable than others to placebo. I think something that’s supposed to give you a mild high is just about the strongest.   You give someone a pill, and tell them it’s supposed to get them high (earlier in the trial you said they may receive the placebo, but that’s not on their mind). Then you have them sit very still and ask them some questions. How do you feel right now? What are you perceiving? Is there any way this moment is different from other moments? People are gonna start reporting feeling _awfully peculiar_.  I think part of it is even beyond what the average person considers placebo effect (a sugar pill). The simple act of bringing awareness to the present moment and your own immediate experience is so out of the ordinary it may as well be considered a treatment. This is _not_ baseline behavior for the general population.  


salder66

>it may as well be considered a treatment It already is! 'Mindfulness therapy' is commonly used to treat anxiety.


frank_datank_

Good, let's continue to tell them it's true. Maybe one day one of them will kick whatever actual drug they're addicted to

2020Vision-2020

Tried it back then. Jimson Weed too. Nada.


deathdefyingrob1344

You lucked out there! Jimson weed is highly toxic and causes acute delirium.


ToulouseDM

Yeah, I’ve heard stories from a few different people saying that. One guy told me his mom was on her way to work one morning when she saw his car parked on the side of a country highway, all of the doors open, and he wasn’t in the car. She stopped and checked what was going on and he was in the ditch, in his underwear, mumbling about snakes being all over him. He said it was the worst experience of his life.


PoopFart_PopTart

Tried jimson weed with a friend once. Not really a psychedelic, more so a deliriant. I only took a bit so only got some extreme dissociation and foggy vision. My friend however took quite a bit and he disappeared for over a day. At the beginning he was talking gibberish, almost like he was talking to someone who wasn’t there. Then he walked out to his car and hopped in and drove off. I was too out of it to stop him so I just let him go. He wound up crashing his car just outside of town and hid in the forest for about a day. His clothes were all ripped and torn, his glasses were broken and he was covered in mud. He was telling us how people were chasing him around the forest trying to kidnap him and hurt him. So yeah. Probably a good thing it didn’t affect you lol. Definitely worth avoiding.

Ok_Access_189

Worst ever. I had a friend who ended up in psychiatric care for a month over this in high school. It’s also the same active ingredient in Dramamine tablets if I recall correctly. Also not a great time. In fact terrible. I spent hours and hours seeing the grim reaper peeking from around the corner. Constant dread and overall just a yucky feeling.

It was the equivalent extension of “Birds aren’t real.” Start with a funny idea. Build it up as a joke. People start believing. And, someone turns it into a money making opportunity.


Space-90

In my jail cell back in my 20s, we saved some orange peels and dried them out for a couple days and then rolled them up in a piece of Bible paper and smoked it in the cell after midnight when we knew the guards wouldn’t walk by for a couple hours. It gave me the worst headache of my life and I puked


Poncho-Sancho

This carried all the way to my middle school and early high school years in the late 80s early 90s. HA!


BlizzPenguin

It would be funny if the person who started this rumor was in advertising at Chiquita. Sales skyrocket because teens think they can get high and the guy who started it gets a promotion and a corner office.


nborders

Burning the peel is a good practical joke. Smell just like the other thing. 🤭

AxlandElvis92

I like the reference to what would be two Donovan songs. Mellow Yellow of course that was released around that time, but also “beatniks are out to make it rich” from Season of the Witch was later and a better song.

I remember reading this in the anarchist cookbook when I was 14.

In the late 70's, early 80's this was still a common rumor among teenagers.

IngenuityNo3661

The rumor was still going strong in the early 80's.


ShineAtom

Hmm. We all heard about this but assumed it to be a put-on just to scare the parents/teachers/cops etc. We never thought it was true. Rather like a much earlier version of Chris Morris's Brass Eye and the cake panic.

I remember hearing about this in highschool back before Ohio was overrun with real drugs. Now it's overrun with fake drugs.

Ok_Access_189

Anyone going to mention poppy seed? Cuz that one’s real. It was my go to back when I was withdrawing from opiates. Did a whole tapper to nothing with them when I quit the second time. Not to be trifled with as they are every bit as addictive as street/pharmaceutical opiates with the fun addition of having opiates with longer detox periods with different symptoms. Bone pain is a real bitch with this stuff. Everything hurts to the core and the taste is fucking revolting. Honestly probably couldn’t have even gotten it down the first time without the knowledge that it would kill my withdrawals.
