There are some very common misconceptions and ambiguities that people around this board have asked about more times than i can count. efforts have been made to consolidate topics and such to prevent this phenomenon (e.g. the DXM post- props to Theta), and i thought i'd pitch in.
Oxycodone/Oxycontin
the oxycodone/oxycontin confusion is a lot like the rectangle/square conflict. oxycontin is oxycodone, but not all oxycodone comes in the form of oxycontin. percocet and its equivalents (generic oxycodone being one of them) are oxycodone (probably 5 or 10 mg) with acetaminophen (tylenol), whereas oxycontin (which has no generic form or equivalent) is 20, 40, 80, or (not sure if they make these anymore) 160 mg of oxycodone in a slow release form.
"Dex"
people use the word "Dex" to refer to both DXM and dextroamphetamine. these are *not* the same thing. DXM is dextromethorphan, and you can look through the DXM post before asking about that. dextroamphetamine is found in dexedrine and adderall, and it is a stimulant. I've written a quick guide to stimulants that can be found in the archives.
"I have the following pills..."
there is a very simple solution to this problem: www.rxlist.com . some of us still don't know about it, apparently, but you can look up just about any pill you can find, right from the front page. if you can't decipher the basic jist of what the pill is for from that information, perhaps you should consider not taking drugs.
SSRIs
these will absolutely not, i repeat, never ever, get you high. SSRIs include stuff like Prozac, Paxil, Celexa, and their generic equivalents. to find out if a drug is an SSRI, once again, use rxlist.com . those who claim to have gotten high on these are a prime example of either the placebo effect or latent mental illness.
Wellbutrin
this is an SDRI, and it won't get you high either.
Banana peels & peanut skins
these won't get you high either.
Salvia vs. Marijuana
they're two totally different experiences, so asking for a comparison is pointless. perhaps we need an eternal salvia thread, since there seems to be a lot of both interest and confusion.
This is just me being picky
"Wellbutrin/Zyban is a DSRI not a SDRI. And you didn't mention that while percocet is oxycodone and acetominophen, percodan is oxycodone and aspirin. Both should not be used in high recreational doses unless you can remove the aspirin/tylenol or you will damage your liver."
-- Tryptamine
LSA & LSD (acid)
LSD is lysergic acid diethylamide and LSA is lysergic acid amide. they're not the same thing. LSA occurs naturally in morning glory seeds and hawaiian baby woodrose seeds, and it's far, far less potent than LSD and different in subjective effects. any process claiming to get LSD from morning glory seeds or HBWR seeds is bullshit, unless you have a working knowledge of organic chemistry, in which case you'd be able to tell what the process really does.
