Legal highs - safety, concerns, advantages
There are a couple of plants that are generally speaking legal all over the world, such as blue lotus, wild dagga, mugwort, kanna (sceletium tortuosum aka zembrin - which you discussed briefly once), Mexican dream root (calea zacatechichi) and Syrian rue (peganum harmala). Could you discuss the pharmacoly, effects, safety and potential advantages of these plants? I'm assuming brewing tea is the safer route of administration versus smoking/vaping. Wild dagga is typically a substitute for cannabis in South Africa; blue lotus has a long history of medicinal use in Egypt as an afrodisiac and relaxant; mugwort as a relaxant; kanna as an empathogen and for hunting amongst the khoikhoi; Syrian rue has long been used in the Zoroastrian tradition for visions (produces harmine and harmaline like banisteris caniopsis, an ingredient of the ayahuasca brew). All of these are legal in most places!
Guayusa
You talk a lot about yerba maté, but what about its cousin from Ecuador, guayusa? How do they compare? Guayusa is also used for ceremonies, and according to the Kichwa, has hallucinogenic effects in higher doses. Typically, it is drunk as a stimulant like tea or coffee though. What is its pharmacology and most important effects? Does it have GLP 1 effects like yerba mate?
Vomiting, nausea, stomach bugs (not diarrhea), emesis
What are recommended tips for preventing and managing symptoms of vomiting, nausea, stomach bugs (not diarrhea), and emesis? Whenever I get sick this way, the pain is so bad and debilitating that I feel like my life is ending. Even if there's no magic cure, I'd like to not feel like dying or suicidal when sick with the aforementioned symptoms.
Daily task-management (beyond chronobiology or important vs urgent)
What are tips for choosing, prioritizing, managing, and scheduling daily tasks? NOT chronobiology (you've already talked about dividing day into 3 phases). I would also appreciate it if you could deconstruct the important versus urgent matrix (Eisenhower or Covey matrix), which is frequently promoted despite not being evidence-based and not being helpful to me. The design of this matrix assumes that the tasks (and goals) people must choose between are typically as extreme as saving someone who's drowning or spending the entire day playing video games.
