ok so, Iwas asking a fellow member what is 5-HTP and he mentioned it being a research chemical now banned since 1975.

My question is, what is it? Is it a pill thing or a liquid because minutes ago I was looking at a walgreens shopper and it confused the hell out of me because the bottle states it's a "dietary supplement".

Is it the same thing? Will I trip balls immediately or is something wrong here?

It is not a research chemical.

It is not illegal, and never has been.

It is 5-hydroxy-tryptophan, a completely natural precursor to serotonin.

It comes as a pill.

It will not make you "trip balls". It won't actually do anything to you until you've used it for a while, and it's not recreational*. It merely helps with mood stabilization by increasing serotonin production.


* it can be recreational in the sense of helping you preload for, and recover from, serotonin releasing drugs like MDMA. Increase your reserves of serotonin, you theoretically increase the effects of the x. Increase your serotonin production after rolling, you help minimize the days-after blues.

Thanks hoody, I was so confused! D:

But it's good because it helps you for loading the brains of serotonin, so it's good before and after rolling/ pot/ coCAINE. right that's what you're saying. ^______^

Thats not what he is saying.

Pot and Coke do very little towards serotonin. lulz@pot


"Hey man you wanna smoke a bowl"

"Oh ya, hold on man I gotta preload by taking some 5-htp so I trip balls. I learned about it online."

Oh and you might try wikipeia or google. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5-HTP)

he probobly thought 5-meo or some shit along those lines.

5htp was briefly unattainable in the USA iirc

You're wrong on 5-HTP

5htp was briefly unattainable in the USA iircYou recall incorrectly.

You're thinking of L-tryptophan.

You're wrong on 5-HTP

Dammit, he beat me.

5-HTP potentiates cannabis. So the person you quoted was not completely retarded.

Really? How? (not sarcastic, I really didn't think serotonin has anything to do with pot)

I have no idea either. But I know that Joepedo told me to do it when I was asking about his cocktail, and mentioned it was good for daily pot-heads anyways.

Now, I have this terrible habit of ... procrastinating I guess, in a lot of ways ... anyways, I haven't been doing that daily, or have done it for over a week probably, but when I was taking 5-HTP (along with all the others), the highs from less smoke were better, it took a lot less, I felt more motivated to get things done then to waste time.

So while I can't say why, in my expereince it worked.

I'll take your and Joe's word for it.

A-motivational syndrome be gone! :)
