Sorry, I don't mean to be disruptive. I appreciate your effort to provide this information I wouldn't otherwise come across.

No! This is meant for fun, anyway! Inject it into your neckhole...see what happens >:)

Injection of sloppily compounded pharmaceuticals into the cerebrospinal fluid is what killed a number of people a few years back. I think it was NECC.

Oh, I bet! It's definitely not something to mess around with! treat your nervous system with respect. RESPECT!!!
Or at least keep your lab clean if you are injecting substances into your brain...

Serotonin doesn't cross the blood brain barrier either, so some people take 5-htp, a serotonin precursor which crosses the blood brain barrier and is then¹ converted to serotonin. Is there anything similar to glutamate?
Be careful when messing with glutamate.
Are there any reasons, good or bad, why people mess with glutamate outside of a medical setting?
¹ although to be pedantic, "then" is a bit inaccurate. while 5-htp does convert to 5-ht while in the brain, it also converts to 5-ht elsewhere as well, leading to lots of the 5-htp metabolizing into 5-ht elsewhere in the body and thus never reaching the brain. (at least, this is my layperson understanding of the process, correct me if I'm wrong)
Hello. Welcome to the chemicals of your brain. Today: glutamate. Glutamate is the primary excitatory neurotransmitter in your brain. It basically is the “gas petal” of the brain. Too much makes your cells work themselves to death and causes cognitive problems, and too little also leads to cognitive problems. Too much can also cause seizures. Be careful when messing with glutamate. I will now take questions. Please ask your questions! edit: 'gas pedal' - not 'petal' I did legitimately struggle...
