The Thomas Recipe for Opiate Detox
I’ve heard a few people talk about using the “Thomas Recipe” for detoxing from opiates. Most of the herbs and drugs that are part of that regimen can be found right here on our own post about drugs for detox, but I thought I’d put the recipe up here too since it follows a specific set of instructions.... continue

How to Deal With Post-Withdrawal Depression

At the time, I had been clean for months, so I had no tolerance whatsoever.

So I made my way on down to the grocery store to pick up what would amount to something like a half pound of seeds. I can’t remember exactly, but it was a ridiculous amount.... continue
