Alcohol

Possible positive effects from use:

Overdose amount: 15-20 shots

Class: Depressant

Standard dosage: 1-3 shots depending on your physical size and natural tolerance

Notes: Do not mix with acitomentaphin (ibuprofen). If you get alcohol poisoning when using a non oral ROI, a hospital will not be able to pump your stomach and you will be at much higher risk for serious damage or death. It is generally a bad idea to mix alcohol with anything aside from marijuana. It is physically safe to mix alcohol with psychedelics, but it is known to have negative cognitive effects.

- Seizure suppression

Possible neutral effects from use:

- Nausea

Overdose amount: Around 1000 milligrams per kilogram of body weight. Serious danger is unlikely unless mixed with other substances.

Overdose amount: An incredibly unreasonable amount we haven't been able to define yet

Class: Hallucinogen

Standard dosage: Unsure

Notes: This is pretty safe physically. Do not mix with other serotonin enhancing drugs such as cocaine, ecstasy, meth, or nicotine as this can add the risk of serotonin syndrome. Look HERE for information and tips on mental/emotional health when using psychedelics.

Caffeine

Possible positive effects from use:
- Euphoria
- Focus enhancement

Possible neutral effects from use:

Overdose amount: 30 milligrams to 5 grams depending on tolerance

Class: Stimulant

Standard dosage: 5-30 milligrams
