Modern humans must learn how to relate to psychoactives
responsibly, treating them with respect and awareness,
working to minimize harms and maximize benefits, and
integrating use into a healthy, enjoyable, and productive life.

DOSE:
800 mg oral Methocarbamol (pill / tablet)
BODY WEIGHT: 180 lb
I knew that it was a decent muscle relaxer but I didn't realize it would give me a slight buzz!

I took 2 caplets, 400 mg each, since the instructions said 1-2 for muscle relief. About 17 minutes in I started to feel something, a bit of a light weed high, almost like I had smoked like half a bowl, nothing really too crazy, mostly a warm, bit slowed feeling.

After about 30 minutes, I began to feel mentally dulled, it took me significantly longer than normal to recall words, and I was forgetting some stuff in a game I was playing
it took me significantly longer than normal to recall words, and I was forgetting some stuff in a game I was playing
. Overall it was a quite pleasant experience.

After an hour nothing had really changed, I checked my reaction time online at this point and saw it was about 200 ms slower than normal, so I don't think my experience was placebo.

1.5 hours in and I was starting to come down from the enjoyable part and after another 30 minutes I became extremely sleepy (something common with muscle relaxers I've found) I didn't want to get up from my chair to go to my bed, it wasn't an inability, just an urge to stay.

I fell asleep a moment or two after I ended up moving to my bed.

All of my back pain was 100% gone throughout the entire experience, and it was an overall nice experience. I would use it occasionally when my back flared up and I enjoyed it every time, maybe once or twice a month. I do not believe it to be habit forming, however, I'm sure in certain people it is.
