Actually I should get off energy drinks, too mich sugar and cals
But they do help me get productive :think_nyan:
i'm already through that :blobcatlaugh:
was a fun time but it's too bad for the body and the brain in the long run :blobcatgiggle2:

@mario damn, sucks..

it def can produce too much energy at times, and the side effects of insomnia are pretty awful.

i take R-ALA to combat the oxidation that causes brain fog, and a sleep aid for the insomnia. works pretty well once i fine tuned everything.

when i was underage i used to take amphetamin daily over the course of months :blobcatgoogly:
it helped me get to a reasonable weight but it also permanently killed any feel of hunger :blobcatgiggle2:

@mario ah, yeah,,

that anti-hunger effect eventually did go away for me but it took months and months.

until then i just kinda had to.. force myself to eat when i knew i needed to. 😓 i can see how that wouldnt work for a lot of people tho

@erin it stuck with me to this date!! the only way my body tells me now I need food is when it starts getting super weak :blobcatgooglytrash:

@mario oh thats miserable!

at least with me, i would start to feel sleepy or bitchy when i was hungry, even if my stomach didnt tell me it needed or wanted food…

:blob_sweat: understandable why you wouldnt wanna get back on that

@erin I still have tons of awesome memories of being at the local skate park with friends all night snorting lines on a wooden table listening to Rammstein :blobcatlaugh:
These memories have to be like almost a decade old by now~ :blobcatheart:

@mario @erin The hunger thing happens with pot too, only hungry when stoned after a lot of habitual use

@Jazzy_Butts @erin I don't really know because I mixed pot with everything
I used to say that pot is like the neutral element of addition bc you can add it to anything and won't add any extra baggage to the trip :blobcatlaugh:

@mario @Jazzy_Butts i envy that, fr

these days, with no tolerance, cannabis is extremely powerful for me. its like fucking LSD with how much it changes my perception. i cant do it anymore unless im reserving 4 hours to be out of commission 😖 and even then its usually just a bad time of paranoia and racing heartbeat.

i wrote about the last time i did the marijuana here, if ur curious: https://posts.stream/notice/ATsnn8j6Q7WYGAj3DM

@erin @Jazzy_Butts i'll read it when i'm back home :hug:
I still do cannabis some times but university kicked me out of doing it daily.
Thinking back, I more or less smoked it daily from age 15 to 23 :blobcatgoogly:
Now I even kicked off tobacco and only vape it :blobcatuwu:

@mario @Jazzy_Butts

>i’ll read it when i’m back home

fuck yeah! eager to hear your thoughts! love it when people have things to say about my effort posts~ no pressure, though 😌

>Now I even kicked off tobacco and only vape it

good choice! i never smoked tobacco regularly, thankfully.. but i did pick up a nic vaping habit in college, ironically trying to self-med for my adhd before i got back on proper amphetamine.

protip: that shit does not work because tolerance is a fuck lmao 🙃

but hey i got a cool vaping habit out of it.. pay no mind to the increased lung irritation periodically causing bronchitis!!

@erin @mario Pot is very strong, it seems like to have fun on pot you have to have a high tolerance, then it's just relaxing and stimulating, even the memory problems go away after constant use

re: drugs; cannabis, benzos, side effects 

@Jazzy_Butts @mario thats been my experience, yeah. shit was much more mellow when i was a daily user. i wouldnt say the memory and cognition side effects ever went away though. i was a fucking retard when i tried to work while using it. took like 10x longer to do problem solving, and the awareness of that slowness made me anxious that people would know i was on drugs. no bueno 😓

i just take pharmaceutical anxiolytics like baclofen these days. its weak enough to not build a horrible benzo tolerance, and does enough to calm my high strung intrusive-thought-having ass the fuck down in a pinch.

glad that cannabis can work for some people though. wish i could use it.. it smells so good and the ritual of it is aesthetic af! 🛐

re: drugs; cannabis, benzos, side effects 

@erin @mario I would rek in halo 3 when I was wrecked myself, I'd be so smooth sometimes, smooth like a pimp, made me think outside the box

re: drugs; cannabis, benzos, side effects 

@Jazzy_Butts @erin right now I use it mostly as a catalyst for creative work like preping presentations :blobcat3c:

re: drugs; cannabis 

@mario @Jazzy_Butts that’s one positive use i can vibe with. when i worked from home doing sysops for a place that generally gave me high degrees of freedom to do my thing, it was super relaxing to hit the low THC, high CBD vape and just zone out to writing documentation or planning presentations~ :NekoHug:

re: drugs; cannabis 

@erin @Jazzy_Butts nowadays I only do cannabis and i'm really glad I didn't get any issues regarding withdrawal
here's all the drugs I've tried, I took some more often than others :blobcatgiggle2:

re: drugs; hallucinogens 

@mario @Jazzy_Butts always curious to hear about DMT experiences. have u written about that before?

Not really, because I never broke that point of ego dissolution so it wasn't more than just super intense visuals... :blobcatopenmouth:

re: drugs, abuse mention 

@Jazzy_Butts @mario champion!!

fuuuck i miss going ADHD squirrel mode on massive amounts of caffeine and putting my all into FPSes as a kid. so many fun memories of sleepovers and LAN parties playing CS, timesplitters 3, original halo… 🤤

oh to be so carefree and abused again

re: drugs; cannabis, benzos, side effects 

@erin @Jazzy_Butts for me it's really difficult to say how it affected me because I was more or less never sober up until I started taking university seriously
Still somehow got through school well enough to get my qualifications even though I was high all the time (like I prerolled four joints every morning to smoke on my way to school, two for each break and one for my way back home)
Kinda surprised how well it all went considering I got big on benzos and opioids during my finals

re: drugs; cannabis, benzos, side effects 

@mario @Jazzy_Butts congrats on making it through the tedium that is h i g h e r e d u c a t i o n !!

what drugs do y’all do nowadays and how do their use patterns differ from back then? :pika_think:

@Jazzy_Butts @mario oh trip out :ShepFace:

never woulda predicted something like that..

sadly, when i was a stoner in my teens, i never got the pro-hunger effects from weed, to my mother’s lament.

can u imagine an underweight twink stoner? sad state of affairs… 😓
