Pepper minimizes negative thought spirals

Smoker's Lounge

So I get negative thoughts from several essential oils, for example pine is a typical example, but if I combine the pine oil with pepper oil at the same time then I no longer have these negative thoughts

At least the negative thoughts are reduced to a tolerable level. It feels more like a negative vibe, which I can easily ignore and live with. Without the pepper oil, for example, I would get totally depressed in a pine forest, and I can’t escape this feeling either.
my mouth corners go down and my eyes look like sad Dalmatians

I also know these negative thoughts from cannabis with the exception of very rare pure sativa

I don’t have any cannabis at home at the moment, so I can’t say if it works there. I just wanted to let you know. And as an extra tip, I combine lemongrass with pepper in equal parts. the reason is difficult to describe. I work a lot with essential oils and perfume.

I just can’t believe it I’ve been testing it for two days and I’m sure that it’s like that with dozens of oils
and well the smell is acceptable it is not very pleasant but also not extremely annoying

if someone in my vicinity smokes such shitty commercial Hybridweed again I would have great pleasure in smelling the pepper :laughing:

Very interesting, I’ll have to temper this, I’m always trying things to help with the negative thoughts/depression.

I’m currently speaking with Jet GPT when I told him all the negatively influencing oils and it says that the limbic system or dopamine may play a role in the pepper which contains a dopamine activating substance. It suspectes that most oils like pine activate people, but for me it becomes overstimulation and my brain shuts down and switches to muted mode.

and I advise you to try it, it really works so strongly that I can hardly believe it’s true

fun fact pepper works via the terpenes on a cannabis receptor
It is very rare that Terpene affects a receptor and thus triggers an effect but of course no psychoactive effect

nice term. i would like to use that in my anti-hybrid posts if that’s okay. :slight_smile:
I used to call it dispo hybrid. now it’s dispo hybridweed!
Is Jet GPT Artificial Intelligence like Chat GPT?

I would suggest exercise fresh air and unplugging to help with depression or negative thoughts. Roaming the Internet no bueno…also eating healthy real food instead of ultra processed crap always helps me. Last of all pets are the best for mental health and there’s no substitute

All things a fine in moderation it’s the continual polyxpolyxpoly X polyxpolyxpoly that’s no good flat monotone buzz with high numbers on paper but lacks spirit so the buzz only lasts like 15 - 30 minutes at best it’s a very sad sight to behold kinda like seeing that broken Lion in the zoo sad to say the least that’s what brought me to OG in the first place and my landrace quest :wink:

So you also laugh at people who have depression or anxiety in social settings or something

That’s okay, I also had moments where I thought I understood everything around me

but still doesn’t advance the discussion

Absolutely not, my friend.

I was simply making a joke. Maybe at your expense, yes. My bad.
My wife battles depression, anxiety, PTSD, and currently PPD.
So no, I’m not laughing at you bud

Yeah, you got me there. Lol.

Its terpene science bro.
Like essential oils. Lavander is calming.
The linalool(<–spellcheck that) terpenes found in some cannabis, amongst other plants, can have the same effect.

I’d start there.

Well, your post has led to think that you find it a bit absurd, but I assure you, for me it is an incredible event. Ever since my youth, I have been in a bad mood as soon as I walk past a pine forest . The fact that this is suddenly switched off in my head is like a miracle to me, more of a miracle than an absurdity.

alright

I’m currently going through different oils and I’ve noticed that linalooll in Amyris wood doesn’t work, but ylang ylang, which contains the same substance as pepper, works almost as well, not quite as well. I’ll be buying copaiba oil next week, which also contains this substance. Rose also brought about a slight improvement for me, but not enough.

but again I love linalol and Amyris wood
but I notice very clear differences when it works and when it doesn’t

Chat GPT simply implied that certain oils reduce stress more and that is why this positive effect occurs. That led me to try rose oil and, as I said, it works a bit there.

Chat GPT also implied that these negative effects arise from an overreaction, for example because certain smells are very strong and distinctive. My head then goes into parasympathetic mode, so it tries to counter these extreme smells by regulating it down and shutting it down in order to balance it out.
And this shut-down mode feels very negative to me, somehow depressive and lustless.
And there is a substance in pepper that is very calming and reduces stress, which is why my head no longer does this excessive shut-down afterwards.

I have to praise Chat GPT here. The explanation sounds very plausible and has also proven true in the rose, which is known to be veryStress reduzin

You have found something that works against your negative thoughts. That is good.

I don’t really think so, because the way I discovered it wasn’t based on the assumption that this effect would occur.

I’m working with essential oils and wanted to ensure that the pepper, which I also had in a mixture and which made me a bit hyperactive, would be tamed a bit by the gentleness of orange blossoms.

However, I knew that orange blossoms actually make me a bit depressed, so I reluctantly used it to see if I could tame pepper a bit.

I noticed that I suddenly didn’t get depressed anymore from orange blossoms. I sat there for an hour amazed and then started testing all the depressant substances.

My wife has been using various essential oils for a few years now.
During this time, we found a Tai Chi class, we both been going to, myself 1.5 years now, her 2+ years. She is 70 years old, I’m 68 years old.
We both have found great joy, with this class, mentally, and physically.
A few months ago, the instructor, my wife, and I, had breakfast after class.
As we’re talking, I chugged my glass of water, she had a funny look on her face, when I said, “U’mmm, that does a body good, turning water into it’s fourth stage!”
I went on to say, “Now it (water) goes to our facia, that lays, under the skin, and around all our organs, a lattice of basically water, well it’s really a gel like substance.”
We all know the body has water, is like 70% water, not in veins, not pooled up in the stomach, but in a lattice work all under the skin, for a reason.
I do not know the exact reason, myself, but she came to class a week later on with this:
Fascia/exercises
We do not work on all of them, but some of them have become part of the opening exercise warm ups we do, before Tai Chi.
For myself, I realized a few years ago, I was allowing dark thoughts to rule my thoughts, I was giving into the grumpy old man syndrome.
Giving my precious time and brain matter, here on earth, to a false and stupid and unmanageable reality.
I absorbed myself, into a delicious mind opening film, Inner World, Outer World, from 2010, that has given me a sense of calm, in this crazy world. It brought me to find an exercise program, that I truly enjoy doing, finding balance, finding peace, helped to embrace life, and not be over run by it.
When I read a thread like this, seeking less turmoil in our lives, if oils do it for you, GREAT!
I know they help my wife, even if I do not understand all the mechanics of it!!
Sorry to unleash so many words, for finding peace, how ever you can.

What about the black pepper terp? Does it have the same effect? Is it the same essential oil?

Similar to cannabis, different extraction methods have different results, and they don’t always extract every substance.

Essential oils are a term for steam-distilled products.

Absolutes are a term for alcohol extracts. Beta-caryophyllene is not water-soluble, and I used a steam distillation product, which gave me this effect.

So it seems as if the terpenes alone, or some unknown substances, could be responsible for the effect. often the psychoactive mechanisms are not in the water distillates
At least with St. John’s Wort this is the case which also has a psychoactive effect. I highly recommend that alcohol or CO2 extractby the way :grinning:

Especially since smells can make me depressed, it also seems plausible that the smell alone can take me in the other direction
