Turkey LDs

Can turkey give you LD because it has Tryptophan in it?

According to popular belief, tryptophan in turkey meat causes drowsiness [4]. Turkey does contain tryptophan, which does have a documented sleep-inducing effect. However, tryptophan is effective only when taken on its own as a free amino acid. Tryptophan in turkey is found as part of a protein, and, in small enough amounts, this mechanism seems unlikely [5].

A more-likely hypothesis is that the ingestion of large quantities of food, such as at a Thanksgiving feast, means that large quantities of both carbohydrates and branched-chain amino acids are consumed. Like carbohydrates, branched-chain amino acids require insulin to be transduced through the myocyte membranes, which, after a large meal, creates a competition among the amino acids and glucose for insulin, while simultaneously creating tryptophan’s reduced competition with other amino acids for the Large Neutral Amino Acid Transporter protein for transduction across the blood-brain barrier. The result is a greater availability of tryptophan, via the Large Neutral Amino Acid Transporter, for conversion into serotonin by the raphe nuclei, which is then available for conversion into melatonin by the pineal gland. Drowsiness is the result.

It make you sleepy but does it make you how LDs?

KFC, I will tell you what I tell everyone else. A substance will not “make” you have an LD. So called ‘‘shortcuts’’ are not really. A few people may respond consistently to a specific psychoactive chemical in a manner where they have an LD while under the substance, but this, in my opinon, is rare. Most of these shortcuts are just substances that people have used many times, and had an LD only a fraction of those times. I have eaten large amounts of turkey on several occasions before bed, and I was drowsy, but my dreams were no different than normal. Besides, most drugs you take orally, intravenously, and by smoking leave the body within hours, so the most noticable effects will wear off before you even get into a good REM stage(this is not true for all drugs). So, turkey will NOT give you an LD, and in my opinion, does not help either.
