Extremium and Niton aren’t part of our scientific vocabulary today, however, they once were.

From Daquince’s use of opium to the modern era, many stories of opioid users have been lost. For that reason, we cover the stories of two opioid- users Benzzzy and Calvin, from what led them to their addiction, their difficulties during this period, their advice for people who might be going through addiction, and their current status.
In addition, we discuss the pharmacology student Anthony Furrule (@science_and_anonymous) about opioid prescription, opioid alternatives, the use of Ibogaine or its analogs for the treatment of addiction, and Narcan-resistant Fentanyl.

Aspirin, Digoxin, and Morphine aren’t the first thing that comes to our minds once we hear the word Plant Medicine. Regardless of their seemingly distant origin, all those compounds once had a plant origin. To this, we name ethnopharmacology. Using the word of Juerg Gertsch: “Ethnopharmacology tries to understand the pharmacological basis of culturally important plants.”
Today, ethnopharmacology has an equally important role, as we are using plants that have been used for centuries by natives. Plants such as Peyote, Ayahuasca, Iboga, Kava Kava, and Psilocybe aid us with the current mental illness epidemic. Thus, Indigenous communities are once again furnishing us and aiding us with their ancient knowledge, this being said it would only be unfair not to feature such communities in Psychedelic and Ethnobotanical conferences, giving them their due credit, and teaching us about how much these plants mean to their culture, and most importantly how we should respect and protect indigenous rights.

However, the discussion continues, from being a 4-hydroxylated orally active form of 5-MeO-DMT to a potential neurotoxin for its similarities to 4,5-dihydroxytryptamine it’s yet incognito whether the compound could have any neurotoxicity.
