What is a harmless or beneficial recreational drug I can take once a week (not marijuana or coffee)?

Depends on your definition of ‘harmless’. And ‘recreational’. Have you tried Calea zacatechichi or Silene capensis? Nothing happens much while you’re awake, but you can enjoy some really cool lucid/enhanced dreaming with those, with pretty much no downsides that I know of. There’s also LSD and psilocybin, which are much less dangerous than they’re generally made out to be. There’s mescaline in San Pedro and Peruvian Torch cacti, which are commonly grown as decorative plants and so are easy to get. If you have access to clean seeds (say, from an actual growing plant) there’s always LSA from morning glory or, ideally, Hawaiian baby woodrose. Kratom can be habit-forming, but if you’re planning to use only once a week, that won’t be an issue, so I’d recommend kratom too.The world is chock full of intoxicants. The ones most people know about don’t even scratch the surface.

What are alternative ways to get high without alcohol or weed?

So far, I've found 3 drugs or drug classes that will not destroy your sobriety game. Weed is one of them. So then there were two…Nitrous oxide. With a ringing buzz eerily similar to crack and lightheadedness like alcohol, it can be a lot of fun especially in groups. Safe enough to fuck around without serious risk. Not advisable to do too much in one sitting, and a caveat: this could easily trigger a crack addict to fall off the wagon.Psychedelics. Psilocybin mushrooms being the top drug in this class. Followed by DMT. Both drugs come from mushrooms or plants. Nothing synthesized like as in LSD — although LSD is a perfectly fine choice if you can get it. The beauty of psychedelics lies in their very safe nature. And while DMT only lasts 10 minutes, it's an amazing 10 minutes! Short trips can be desirable; you don't always have 8 hours to spare.I'm not the type to meditate so I will not comment on the descriptions I've heard of getting super high on brain chemicals (which includes DMT) and naturally doing what cocaine does: coke inhibits the “cleaning up” of serotonin so that much more serotonin is available to your “pleasure center.”There's no physical reason why a person couldn't learn a way to let the brain's neurotransmitters loose naturally — I just have never given it any honest long-term attempts.
