FYI if you ever go there I stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn Las Colinas which was cheap $110 night, nice place, free parking, and lots of eating places around. Let me know if you got questions
Dominating Contact Distance Shooting - Cecil Burch
My first live-fire session shooting at 0.5 to 7 yards with 50 rounds and blue guns. Practiced with the blue guns doing "Frankenstein drills" with a partner (aggressor) putting their hands out and walking toward the victim. Victim uses the appropriate position - retention, compressed, and arms extended based on the distance. Incorporating Frankenstein's quick lunge and swipes, they can swipe your extended gun to the side standing at 2.5-3 yds, farther than most people think and in typical self-defense range. So gain distance or go to compressed ready.
From the retention position, we practiced keeping the wrist and hand locked with gun hand fingers touching the body for support. Usually we're taught to angle the slide away from the body to avoid malfunctions, but this way operated fine. Shots were targeting the stomach and hip area on the targets to ensure the support hand was out of the way.
The targets we used had arm projections sticking out to visualize an aggressors reach. Lastly we're all taught the 21ft rule with paper targets. But it doesn't consider the shooters and aggressors arms extended and lunge distance, so more distance may be required.
Good close quarters practice and reminder that you need more distance than you think.
Run the Line - Gabe White

They are throwing everything they have trying to prevent alternatives to their expensive poison, so expect a lot of fear propaganda.
BTW cough syrup and air freshener are also gateway drugs, but there's no prohibition because they don't have the potential to replace half the stuff in your medicine cabinet.

Bryan Hubbard: “This began with a small group who refused to accept the status quo and fought to bring ibogaine into the United States healthcare system"First, over-the-counter drugs are not included in the DOJ Drug Schedule lists. Some OTC drugs do present a risk of abuse, such as taking more than directed or using it for problems unrelated to the drug's intended purpose. We see tha with cold and cough medicines.
Wikipedia
"Nausea and vomiting can be severe.
Subjects may experience extreme confusion and/or a depressed mood.
Nausea, headaches, and other side effects linger.
Insomnia, irritability, and mood changes are often seen, including depression and sometimes mania.
Depression can persist well after 36 hours, known as a "grey day"; the effect is well-recognized
significant acute and long-term adverse events (especially cardiac issues like QTc prolongation), including fatalities
Ibogaine can cause various cardiovascular changes (e.g., slowed heart rate, blood pressure shifts), neurological effects (ataxia, tremor, mania), and rare but serious complications, including arrhythmias, respiratory failure, and death
A 2022 review found 58 ibogaine-associated emergencies, including 38 deaths
While I agree of the use of psychedelic drugs for the treatment of psychological issues, this drug seems more of a profit maker at the health expense of those treated.
Why not go back to that good ole Lysergic acid diethylamide 25, or the organic Shrooms and Peyote?
Never heard of any of those bad side affects in those, cept maybe some nausea on the shrooms
Second, the DOJ schedules are supposed to be based on the potential for abuse of a drug, not really whether it's a hallucinogen etc.
Pot is still considered a gateway drug for teens. Once they abuse that enough times, they may start seeking out more dangerous drugs to achieve the same level of euphoria.

Right now it's the hardest thing to find. Even harder than the buried uranium somewhere in Iran.
To dig this up would suck. How about just keep bombing it every know and then to make sure no one tries. Good way to use up aging ordinance.

My friends who do it beg to differ....
There was a docu on shroom and a guy who had constant migraines. No RX helped him, he took shroom cause someone mentioned it. Although he was tripping balls, his migraine was gone and for days. IIRC he does shrooms once a weeek, but has to factor in his face melting for a few ours after consuming.
