Title: Drugs of the furture!!!!!!
Post by: energyimport on July 19, 2013, 06:45 pm
Hey guys so what do you guys think drugs will be like 20 50 100 500 etc years from now.

Over the past few years we have seen an explosion of various RC's that have been designed to mimic the current popular drugs and some that were designed to give you a taste of something new.

But as technology and science advance we discover more about physics, how our brain works or even other dimension (if you want to go that far out with it)

The craziest thing I can think of is some time in the future there will be lasers you shoot at your brain that will trigger highs from anything like MDMA DMT LSD ETC ETC But I also think (and this could be way way way in the future) but will create some type of substance that can transport us to either a different dimension (something like DMT but much more manageable) or even recreate death and take you to the after life but bring you back.

What do you guys think?

I definetly agree on the lasers,  or maybe a machine  where you can pick what effects you would like with what intensity.  I'd think that it would be something watch-like that you put on your wrist and is hooked up to your bloodstream.  I have no doubt that there will be some new form of art that makes large interactive room installations that mimic certain drugs such as LSD or DMT. 

I also think that technology will improve enough that it will be very hard to distrubute illegal drugs and very easy to test for drugs.  I think that fake alternatives will take over the market then.  I also hope that MJ gets legalized :/

There should also be some new crazy drug out that the government takes a while to outlaw. Before that it will explode across the world  ;D

See I like to think that we are advancing as a species on being more accepting of drug usage-  a friend of mine is a die hard believer in technological singularity- the belief that in a few decades the computing power of artificial machines will outstrip the computing power of the human mind.

along these lines I like to sometimes muse that AI and computers could be the next stage of "human" evolution.  so far we only see evolution as a changing of GENETIC codes but what if the real next stage is somehow codifying consciousness into a digital computing form?  thereby improving and evolving even our own genetic code's limitations.

if i lost you, think about it this way:  we are only three-dimensional creatures right?  some people say the fourth dimension is time- but what would that look like?  would we be like worms stretching from our birth as an embryonic cell down to our death and dispersion? or maybe the fourth dimension is consciousness?  what would "consciousness" look like if we could perceive it? what new senses would we need? the answer is: we have no clue!!  (if you get this part then keep reading, if you don't then i recommend this video called "Imagining the 10th Dimension" to get my point   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Q_GQqUg6Ts

ANYWAY:  in much the same way we can't even conceive what a 4D being would be, I don't believe we could conceive (or outrule) evolution as jumping from genetic information to digital information- why is that anymore ridiculous than random proteins linking into chains that give people blonde hair or brown eyes?

Along these same line- why should it be illegal for someone to use drugs if it makes them a better contributor to the advancement of humanity?  if when i take adderal i can complete work in a third of the time, why shouldn't i be permitted to take or use adderal whenever I want to?  if i were to use marijuana at night to sleep and it helped me feel more restful or deal with stress and i remained more functional or equally functional in the morning but improved my outlook and general happiness, why should it be illegal?

No i think the future of drugs will be when we all loosen up and realize how that these substances can be beneficial- maybe that's by creating lasers or direct stimulations to the brain which reduce or eliminate negative sideeffects but I don't believe it will be a race to see who can test better and screw each other over more.  i think the next generations will make some big pushes towards legalizing some substances and hopefully deregulating others.

i am a super optomist in this regard lol i realize this... but hey i wont be around to see it so what does it matter?

The things we currently refer to as ....

"Drugs" + "Video Games" + "Internet" + "Movies" = "Future Drugs"


Just a thought,

Hell the video games + internet + Movies/Media = "furure drugs" without even adding real drugs. I see more fucked up sober people, then I've ever seen on some substance.

Do you all remember Max Payne. we will end up with drugs like that.. lol

I wish there was a drug like in limitless, make a bunch of money and then stop taking em and buy a bunch of other drugs that dont ruin your mind.

No way!! You have to man, just google it and you'll find a stream link easily. Its hilarious, a little immature I think, been a while since I watched it myself.

I wish there was a drug like in limitless, make a bunch of money and then stop taking em and buy a bunch of other drugs that dont ruin your mind.

Holy shit I wish that too, the ending was a little bullshit, just to make the viewer satisfied, but Imagine that drug without its adverse effects.. I swear after watching it I was trying to look for a drug similar to it, at least a stimulant that helps focus and what not. I think the closest to it would be Modafinil or Ritalin... What do you think?

seriously if there was a drug out there like that... wew...  loved that movie

Hey guys so what do you guys think drugs will be like 20 50 100 500 etc years from now.

Germline genetic engineering controlled by your cellphone.

In the near future, instead of an android phone, it's like a pair of sunglasses. there's a set of implants powered by glucose, last longer than you do, and control not only RNA transcription and expression, but are constantly using artificial transposons, plasmids, endosymbiotic organelles, retroviral processes, computer-controlled immune system, a form of cellular ATP synthesis that means you do not need to breath, synthetic gut fauna that synthesize nearly all of your previously essential amino acids, vitamins and minerals, a computer-controlled fat and protein development system, computer-controlled immune system and obviously, a computer controlled nervous system.

Your sunglasses-like mobile person computer, which is powered by your blood sugar, movement of your head and neural impulses, would basically mean you never get sick, you never get tired, you only have to eat very little, you dont have to sleep, you dont have to breathe, and you can be as muscular or twinky as you want to be. If you want wings, tail or nekomimi ears, just download the app and hit "accept," and enjoy the pleasurable stretching feeling of massive deluges of beta endorphines, cascades of dopamine and nicotinic acetycholine and gaba while your body undergoes the minor trauma of transformation. You don't even need a cocoon, just a solid meal and some rest.

Your sunglasses computer can induce any virtual drugged up sensation or experience the human mind could possibly conceive, and the computer manages downregulation and tolerance for you, so you never grow tolerant, never enjoy anything less.

Your penis could be 20 inches long, or if you're a girl, you could have a 10 inch long prehensile clitoral hood and the ability to consciously choose whether to have a full litter of 20 children, or no children.

Rape is impossible, because you can throw anyone clear into the sky if they tick you off, and the body heals instantly and can survive even intense nuclear radiation and a partial vacuum, so if you get thrown into the sky and into the side of a concrete building, you can just shake it off and tell em to come at you, bro.

Chemical drugs would be a think of the past, and it would become a matter of programming drug experiences to download and playback.

And custom drug reactor factories designs will revolutionize clandestine labs and essentially shifting the criminal element away from drug production and into drug production "empowerment" 

airshipadmirals technofuturist dream sounds like we are gonna have alot of fucking weird ass perverts flying around trying to rape everything.  Downloadable experiences tho are probably headed this way in ten years, look into transcranial magnetic brain stimulation.

... wow ... kind of reminds me of "surrogates" but WAY WAY more advanced. I actually cannot conceive this.
Then again, look what they were doing in the 1800.. much has changed in 213 years.

Long version of what I said. Yes.
