>>542113867What's the proper recipe?
Ecstasy turns people into massive faggots
>>542115769>Phase 2: The Han Dynasty Standardization (Shanghan Lun)Zhang Zhongjing stripped the mystical elements from the formula to treat the devastating plagues of his era. His recipe, Zishi Hanshisan (Purple Mineral Cold-Food Powder), consisted of:Minerals: Fluorite (Purple Quartz), Amethyst, Quartz, Stalactite, Halloysite.Botanicals: Ginseng, Ginger, Cinnamon, Asarum (Wild Ginger), and other potent warming herbs.>Phase 3: The Wei-Jin Elite Modification He Yan did not invent a completely new recipe; he removed or heavily altered the botanical ratios of Zhang Zhongjing's formula to increase the mineral load, seeking a faster, more explosive biological reaction.>2. The Pharmacology of Euphoria: Why the Early/Original Formulations WorkedThe assertion that the euphoria was only the acute phase of heavy metal poisoning is scientifically inaccurate. Heavy metal poisoning (specifically from lead, arsenic, or mercury) causes cellular damage, peripheral neuropathy, and encephalopathy, which can cause delirium—but it does not produce the predictable, functional, hyper-focused, and highly aesthetic "brilliantly open" (shénmíng kāilǎng) state described consistently across hundreds of years of Wei-Jin poetry.
>>542116941A recipe includes quantity. Otherwise it's just a list of ingredients, dipshit.
>>542113867Yeah okay.... how do I prepare it?'cause I'm not doing trial & error with shit like this, not unless colonialism is back and shitskins are cheap property again.
>>542115769>>542117114Dont be lazy. Its not that hard to find, besides, if i said it would destroy the mystery >>542116682It can seem a bit like that, i dont think actual clean mdma alters peoples sexuality tho. As for some of the other stuff thats sold as it/mixed with it, possibly. No reports of this having such effect tho. Also likely sig milder. Prescribed mostly for a range of ailments for about seven centuries, inc lethargy, arthritis, cold limbs That something was used for such a long period of time pretty routinely, and among many social classes in China suggests strongly that it was largely effective and safe in many cases (certain preparations).It was the eventual introduction of new versions that did contain toxic materials that caused the ban later. Allot of llms will deny this and engage in guardrail disinfo - but when you look into it, the original version was relatively non toxic
>>542118237>Dont be lazy. Its not that hard to findGo fuck yourself. > if i said it would destroy the mystery Then why did you even bring it up? You went through the trouble of making a thread with an all caps subject, a wall of text, and an AI slop picture to preserve a mystery?
>>542116682Not if you do it with chicks. Then it makes you a dude who gets pussy all night
>>542118479So you go on a magical journey to find the secret formula Also i wrote a play about some frens in Luoyang circa 240 AD who take it while in a tavern one night, would you like to hear the play ?
>>542115769get mineral poisoning and drunk on plum wine
I've been coming across stories of ancient Taoist practitioners who devote their lives to "cultivating pills" (炼丹). I was convinced they were working on the perfect recreational drug.
>>542113867>>542116941>>542118237kys vagueposting retardAlso anything that causes a high like ecstasy will alter brain chemistry with prolonged use.
>>542113867Being a hunter, I have sold bear paws to Chinese as for their traditional bullshit. I really don't care. I like money and I like hunting and as long as I get a tag to hunt a bear every few years. I do not mind getting a little extra cash. You know you don't need to go around advertising stuff like this but once you get into a market, you can buy and sell all the parts of the animals you hunt. Always been part of my culture to use every part of an animal. Maybe I am the red skin that sells buffalo cocks to your mom.
>>542118674clean mdma increases emotional bonding, maxes out the aesthetic/romantic faculties, but pretty much kills the sex drive >>542119591I dont think it was intended as a recreational drug, that just sort of happened by accident
>>542119173No. See >>542120078Vagueposting stopped being cool about 10 years ago.
>>542121673> happened by accidentNah. If you observe at the artwork, costume and poetry, it's evident the Tang Dynasty was decadent. I'm sure the men back then had plenty of indulgences.
>>542122304no it was created for medical purposes, it just happened to have a euphoric effect so became popular. Tang dynasty being decadent ? you could say that about any civilization beyond a certain point, once they develop enough surplus to support classes with leisure time and expendable incomeI dont know about calling Tang society decedent relative to other dynasties tho. Among elites, scholars, wealthy merchants, somewhat. The society generally, pretty much a hyper confician fascist military state. General curfews in most cities,in practice some regions kind of exempt. Very ridged legal system.Society on the whole i would say not decadent at all. Also large scale chattel slavery seems to breed decadence, very low slavery in china since the Han, while it was still huge in europe.nor would i begrudge or consider people occasionally indulging in intoxicants necessarily a bad thing, provided its not dangerously toxic or overly addictive . the bible says wine is a blessing, in moderation, i would assume this applies to other psychoactive compounds of comparable risk profiles (so not things like cocaine, meth or heroin) it is long since i have consumed alcohol or any mind altering thing. but i recall it can contribute to positive experiences as well as negative. the same with ecstasy, which i consider unique in its effect to emphasize the beauty of this world....despite certain dark realities
>>542113867based schizo druggie archaeologist
>>542113867Idk but you niggers should try Blue Lotus either in extract form or you can infuse the whole pedals in wine. Egyptians and Romans used to achieve a state of ecstasy with the infused wine.
