[00:00] The following clip in which Normie and I are going to be reviewing the Lookmaxing Streamers drug penta stack is from our bonus content that you can find on our Patreon. If you want to check out more content like this, follow us on patreon.com/psymposia. So, this fit is unfortunately becoming a more common thing I'm seeing on shows and podcasts, which is two old dudes discuss looks maxing. Do you know who clavvicular is or what looks maxing is, normie? Yeah, of course. Unfortunately, for anyone who's not familiar, looks maxing is this online culture based on obsessing over maxing out your looks potential.
[00:47] Clavvicular is kind of the face of this movement. Some of the trendy headlines you might hear about him are him hitting his jaw with a hammer to strengthen his jawbones and make his jaw more appealing to people. Cllicular himself has been in the news a lot lately over a number of things, including illegally shooting an alligator while live streaming and battery charges related to an altercation between what I believe was his girlfriend and another woman. What we're here to discuss today is the looks maxing drug stack that was reported online and his recent OD. He's now sober maxing after this happened. I really I despise the internet and social media. So the first thing I'm going to pull up is the drug stack that apparently the looks maxers like to take before they go out on the town.
[01:38] I can discuss some of the drugs that are on their list here. So, Clavvicular's friend Adrogenic reveals the penta stack looks maxers used to stream which that which may have led to clavvicular's overdose. What's listed here is aderall, DXM, ketamine, BDO which is kind of like a replacement GHB substitute and pregabolin which medically is used as like an anti-convulsant anti-seizure medication to like calm your nerves. bunch of uppers and downers. And you can kind of see how they implement these meds during the OD video that I wanted to play here. You'll see how his friends re how Clvicular's friends react to him being in what appears to be an overdose situation.
[02:27] Oh my god. Oh my god. That's Clvicular on the right. Holy, dude. I'm water. When did you last? You want attie? And that's the video from just before he was like taken out of the building after having an overdose. It's like legitimately kind of sad to watch in my opinion. I hadn't seen the full video where his friend asks him to if he wants an attie like seven ten times.
[03:15] I had only seen a clip where it was like once and you had to kind of make it out that he was asking him for that. I feel bad for young people who like this is right in their face every day. Like this is just a character out there for like young men and women. And this guy is like he's not going to make it is like the he's burning out really fast. We'll look back in a year or two like remember that [expletive] idiot. This is like the kind of the new version of one hit wonders. Yeah. It's disturbing to watch how his peers react to it. It's like they one have no education on the drugs they're taking and the reactions they might have. How old is he? Like 20. I think he's like 20. Yeah. But also just like oh you're fading.
[04:01] You need an attie. You need an attie. As if that's like going to help in an overdose situation or something. I don't know. It's just really clueless. It's clueless. It's sad that this is what young guys young I think young women generally are just like hate this [expletive] But young guys so clueless. I just keep your kids away from this guy. I don't even know what else. What else are you supposed to say about like this guy? I'm so sick of hearing his name. I hear like old people trying to pronounce it and talk about it. Like the fact that it's even a talking point. This like he needs serious mental help, you know, mental health treatment or something.
[04:46] I've been seeing some videos of like brawls breaking out. Isn't he involved in Will Summer from the Bull Work was was covering some of it and he has a new club that is he's like in bed with the mafia of some kind the Israeli mafia or that that's what I think Summer had been covering. That's a good question. I'm seeing online just a quick cursory thing a headline. Clvicular has entered into a Miami club venture with an Israeli mob tied man who served time in federal prison for extortion. Is known for terrorizing associates, threatens to sever ears. Again, it's like it's hard to is it is he spiraling? Yeah, it seems that he's spiraling, but also is it just [expletive] ridiculous headlines, attention grabbing, you know, just to get just to stay relevant?
[05:38] I don't know. I find the peer culture around these drugs and stuff to be pretty disturbing. At least in his orbit, the way they react to one another and attempt to help each other during what appears to be like a crisis period was not Yeah. It's kind of like the [laughter] it's kind of like the jackassification of drugs. And you know, this is sort of parallel to the psychedelic therapy kind of underground space is when someone's having a bad experience like recommending that they do aderall. This is also kind of common in the psychedelic medicine space where you know not as acute more of a dragged out thing where so let's say they're treating someone with MDMA but the person's not responding too well over the course of weeks or a week or two weeks or something like that and so instead of saying hey you know what you should probably like dry out you should probably take a step back here when a lot of the like super adherence of the medicine, they will instead the normal
[06:41] Reaction is to do what I think I just said, which is step back, dry out a little bit, get perspective, you know, ground yourself. Instead, they lean into it way more. So, if the medicine isn't working, it's MDMA or something, well, let's get a DMT vape pen, let's go further in. And often what we've seen some people who have reached out to us and various whistleblowers and former clinical trial participants and whatnot who were being kind of treated in the underground space, they'll get worse. Their symptoms will get worse. However, like their mental health is already in a fragile state. And then you layer on the drugs. You go say MDMA to DMT to psilocybin.
[07:26] And since they fully believe in the medicine, they think this is a logical progression where any normal person would be looking at it and saying, "What the [expletive] are you doing?" Like, "This person is clearly falling apart." So, I don't know. I just thought of that and in yeah, check out our podcast episode from April 13th, just up the dose. We talk about that at length. There was a Wall Street Journal article that came out kind of about some of these things happening in the ketamine industry and how they relate to the gen the broader Yeah. It's unfortunately super common. Yeah. Yeah. Very common.
