Not facetious, it was some sort of synthetic. We never knew what it really was. It wasn't real psilocybin, but it was something.

- User23 6y agoSounds like something from Shulgin's book[1]. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PiHKAL https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PiHKAL
- dylan604 6y agoI bought new copies of PiHKAL and TiHKAL when Shulgin passed away a couple years ago. Not reading for the faint of heart, but damn those 2 were dedicated to their science. Just knowing their lab was the shed in the back yard makes it a little more on the "whaaaaa?" side of things.

- Stratoscope 6y agoNaw, that is a fuel additive for an automobile. I make it a point to never drink fuel additives. I figure my car can use it better than me.
- stallmanite 6y agoIt was a bs street name made up by dealers to describe a long-lasting phenethylamine I think DOM. Supposedly stood for “serenity, tranquility, peace”
- madaxe_again 6y agoBack then, probably DMT.
- pantalaimon 6y agoThat’s not active orally if not combined with a MAO inhibitor (as in Ayahuasca)
- stallmanite 6y agoDMT was quite niche back then and not substitutible for psilocybin as it’s not orally active. Much more likely to be a synthetic phenethylamine or tryptamine. Candidates back then would be DOM, DOI, etc.
