If skipping your meds for a day or two doesn't give you horrible side effects or withdrawal, you can skip them and THEN take psychedelics, so that the antidepressants don't interfere
That's what I do, I skip my SNRI(thought it is short-lived) and my antipsychotics the day of and everything is Gucci
last month i tried skipping my mirtazapine for THREE days before doing LSD and even then it only did like. more than nothing but less than three hits of weed. it was so fucking tragic 😩
if i knew exactly how long i'd have to be off it i might try again, but i don't wanna like, go five days without meds, arrange my whole weekend to make time, etc, and have it still not work... it's hard to eat off of my meds so that's a lot of effort for something that still might not work. like you'd think five days would be enough but i also thought three days would be enough!

So after almost 9 years of being a non-drinker (you could say sober because I had my whole John Mulaney ‘I used to drink but then I drank too much and had to stop’ moment but people get weird about it) I feel like I’m mentally stable and capable enough to handle alcohol in a non fucked up/horrible way. Three main problems so far:
1. People who have never had to stop drinking for any reason. Some are chill and With It and others do not get the gravitas of what I’m doing and what it means. so I’m like haha yeah just trying to get back into it after yknow almost a decade. and bitches want to buy me multiple shots because they think it’s like I’ve emerged from hibernation and can now have fun with no hangups
2. People who are sober reading me the riot act. You want to drink again now? Do you need help? Here’s my number just in case. You know, this woman I was in AA with thought she could handle it and two months later she was driving drunk with her kids in the backseat. Also the feeling of ‘you’ve let me/us/yourself down’ is omnipresent.
3. ALCOHOL TASTES REAL BAD. I got some hard cider (6.3%) at the farmers market literally just for the glass bottle so I could repurpose it for coldbrew, poured some over ice in my gay little French glass, spat it into the sink. Gross! Bad! Gross and bad! Tastes like fucking vinegar!! Why do I even bother with this shit? Time for coldbrew.
Bonus: it is is so expensive to drink holy fuck. In this economy? Pass

The Importance of Drug and Alcohol Testing in Hiring: Safeguarding Workplace Success
The hiring process is vital for companies to ensure they bring in employees who will contribute positively to their business. Drug and alcohol tests have become essential, helping employers maintain a safe, productive, and responsible work environment. By screening candidates for substance abuse, companies can reduce workplace accidents, improve employee performance, and foster a culture of reliability and trust.
The Importance of Drug and Alcohol Tests in hiring cannot be overstated. They play a key role in building a safer, more reliable, and high-performing workforce. Employers across various industries recognize that such tests help prevent potential workplace hazards, improve team morale, and promote a positive organizational culture.
Tumblr media
Promoting Workplace Safety
One of the primary reasons companies conduct pre-employment drug and alcohol testing is to ensure a safe work environment. Employees under the influence of drugs or alcohol can pose a severe risk, especially in industries where heavy machinery, driving, or detailed technical work is involved. Testing candidates for substance abuse can reduce the chances of accidents, making the workplace safer for everyone.
Enhancing Productivity
Substance abuse is often linked to absenteeism, poor performance, and low productivity. When companies hire individuals who are sober and free from substance dependencies, they ensure that these employees are more likely to remain focused and effective on the job. This level of productivity benefits not only the business’s bottom line but also the morale of co-workers who rely on consistency and reliability from team members.
Reducing Employer Liability
Employers have a legal obligation to provide a safe work environment, and hiring individuals with substance abuse issues could lead to workplace incidents, increasing the company’s liability. Drug and alcohol testing helps minimize these risks by filtering out potential hires who may have substance abuse issues, thereby reducing the chances of workplace accidents and the associated legal repercussions.
Maintaining Company Reputation
Employing individuals with a history of substance abuse can sometimes lead to behaviors that could tarnish a company’s reputation. Whether it's customer-facing interactions or incidents that could become public, hiring individuals who are free from drug or alcohol dependencies helps maintain a positive company image, which is crucial for customer trust and long-term business growth.
Improving Employee Retention
Hiring the right employees from the start can improve retention rates, as individuals without drug or alcohol dependencies are often more reliable and committed to their roles. This approach builds a stable workforce and reduces turnover costs, as hiring and training new employees can be expensive and time-consuming.
Conclusion
Drug and alcohol tests are crucial to the hiring process, as they help ensure safety, productivity, and a positive work environment. By implementing a comprehensive testing policy, businesses can protect themselves from potential risks, improve workplace morale, and enhance employee satisfaction. Pre-employment drug and alcohol screening is more than just a box to check; it’s an investment in a productive and sustainable workplace. For reliable and efficient testing services, National Diagnostics Lab provides comprehensive solutions to meet your company’s screening needs, supporting a safe and healthy workforce.
FAQ's
How Are Drug and Alcohol Tests Conducted?
Testing methods vary, including urine, saliva, blood, and hair tests. Urine testing is one of the most common methods due to its cost-effectiveness and accuracy.
Is Pre-Employment Drug Testing Legal?
Yes, in the U.S., pre-employment drug testing is legal and commonly used by companies, especially in safety-sensitive industries. However, employers must comply with state laws, which can vary.
Which Substances Are Typically Tested?
Most tests screen for common substances such as marijuana, cocaine, amphetamines, opiates, and alcohol. Each company may have its list based on the nature of its work and workplace policies.

One of the biggest concerns of ASC is How to get the Certification for Drug and Alcohol Program Professionals and also why it is necessary and who is eligible for the certification. ASC concentrates on the industry challenges like existing legal issues in drug testing. There are many rules and laws governing drug testing like FCRA and Adverse effect law which states that the employees consent should be got before drug testing and also in case of positive result the employee should be informed about the report and why he is denied the job. Also focus was given to Creating Effective Policy for Employee Wellness Programs which should be made known to all the employees before hiring. Another problem is the quality and method of different types of sample collection for drug testing which checks the purity of the sample and if the specimen is adulterated or diluted. The most common challenge faced by the industry is the safety of the concern due to the increasing number of drug addicted people. This is due to the fact that accidents might happen and damage human life and property of the company.

American Screening Corporation and Ron Kilgarlin works towards finding innovative solution for drug testing and incorporating modern technology and recent trends in medical diagnosis and treatment. This is effectively brought about by continuous interaction with experts and professionals to modify the current practice. Discussing about the existing difficulties and challenges in drug testing and getting suggestions on improving the testing help in future development and solutions. Also ASC believes in giving importance to the feedback and opinions of the customers and updating the design and technology of the drug testing kits and medical accessories.
Artificial Intelligence Technology offers a great solution for reducing the problems in drug testing and rehabilitation. Depending on this technology one is assured that the safety and security of the concern and work place is well taken care of. Also employee wellness program can be initiated and implemented using Artificial Intelligence where Chatbots take up the responsibility of detecting those who are under drug addiction, planning the strategy for rehabilitating them, working out the treatment plan, monitoring the medical appointments and round the clock supervision of the patients.
