100% of the time I mention this, that’s the advice I’ve gotten. I have tried like 20 strains, edibles, oil, shatter, you name it. I used to smoke every day.
Now no matter what I smoke, anxiety. Sometimes it’s just a little and I have a good time anyway. Sometimes I’m not getting enough air when I breathe and I’m going to pass out and everything I say is the dumbest thing anyone has ever said in history.
Not worth the gamble anymore. I’m cool with rolling every few months and delicious delicious adderall. And too much beer, which is the worst habit one can have, honestly.
Oh you’re all good! I always expect to hear then when I mention the anxiety hahaha
I still give it a go every so often. It’s always best when I can go be active in nature, and worst when I sit at home and try to do… anything or nothing.
I miss how awesome it made some music, and getting to blasted I would watch a whole movie, love it, and forget it the next day. Double movie enjoyment!
I feel ya there, 100%! Frankly, I feel the same with psilocybin; active in the world, away from people and obvious aspects of civilization. Get out of my own head and up with the birds in the branches & clouds. 🤙🏼
Sillynosy question: what do you get out of Adderall? I’m prescribed ADHD meds and don’t get any recreational benefit from it, so I’m just curious what I’m missing out on.
When I take adderall, I usually take 10mg or so. It makes me much more productive than I usually am. I have a giant list of projects that I want to do, but normally I just… don’t do them because of the effort involved.
Or I start something and love it, then the next day I just kinda forget about it. It helps me make progress on my 1,000 Steam games I never play. I’ll actually sit down for a few hours and play a game, THE SAME GAME even.
Last time I had some, I set up my mini server! She’s amazing. Next time I have some, I’m either going to reformat my main game computer, reformat the VR machine that’s been sitting in the living room for months and set that up, or learn UNRAID and set up my big server I have all of the parts and HDDs for. That’s been under the couch for like six months now.
…when I write it out like that, I should prooooobably talk to a doctor.
Sounds like you use it for about the same reason I do.
Talk to a doctor! I found it much less stressful than I expected it to be. I started meds last year and my consult and check-ins have been all online. The biggest problem has been, ironically, remembering to take my meds constantly consistently.
I’m a serial hobby-starter, but not a project-finisher.
If you have ADHD, stimulants regulate you. If you don’t have ADHD, stimulants…stimulate you. Adderall is an amphetamine, so people without attention deficit disorders basically get a light meth high from it.
Lol, that’s so weird. I had always wondered, “so kids are trying to get ADHD meds so they daydream less, can concentrate, and be less impulsive. Okay dokey.”
You seem like the right person to ask, and I hope you don’t take that the wrong way. But do you know anything about Ketamine? My Dr. Has referred me for a Ketamine treatment and I have no idea what to expect. I don’t do recreational drugs but massively support them. But there’s just something about being offered Ketamine by a licensed physician that I can’t turn away from.
Oh don’t even worry about it, you’re not at all wrong! I have tried anything you can think of, except strong opiates. I’m saving those for if I ever get terminally ill!
Ketamine is one of the most incredible and insane drugs I’ve ever done. I believe in a therapeutic setting, it could be of amazing use. (Well obv it is, since it’s being used with success right now!)
I’ve only had ket insufflated. A little bit of it makes you feel like you’re a liiittle drunk, but without the wobbles. It takes about ten minutes to kick in. Your coordination stays pretty good but things just seem a little weird and silly. Lasts about a half hour.
A moderate dose makes things REALLY weird. It still takes 5-10 minutes before you feel it. Stuff just kinda… tastes cubic? Like, not the actual taste, but they look like they taste cubic. Walking around is very funny. There’s a distinctive K-walk where you kinda lean back and balance is strange. You’ll be back to normal in an hour to and hour and a half.
High doses are where things get absolutely wild. A K-hope is a different experience for everyone, but my last one… I was in a hotel room with like seven of my friends, and we all had the same amount: too much. I was laying in bed with my partner and I VERY quickly after insufflation could feel my body free-falling, even though I could feel the bed against my back. What I experienced for the next few hours is completely indescribable. I was conscious and could see and (kinda) interact with my friends… but I wasn’t there. Or anywhere. I could see the flow of time. I could see… so much. Like a curtain was peeled back and I was peering into the inner workings of all existence. It was absolutely terrifying. It would never end. I would never end. I’ve never existed. I’ve existed forever. Completely inexplicable, completely horrifying, and unforgettable experience.
We came back to relative normalcy around two hours later, and full normalcy once we finally got to sleep. That was five years ago and the only time I’d try that again is in a clinical setting with a licensed therapist/physician. I’ve had some since then, but only a few times and probably a fifth of that amount or less.
Recreationally, it can make games super interesting under the right circumstances. I blind started The Forgotten City on a moderate bit of K and as a confusing mystery game, it was the perfect state of mind. I was just as confused as the character I was controlling, hahaha.
Wow, what a vivid description! Thank you for sharing. My Dr. Is convinced that the problems that I’m having stem from a lot of trauma that I have normalized. She has a very strict clinical setting for it where things are discussed before and after. I got the feeling that preparation and expectation were very important to them.
But I’m looking forward to it whether it helps or not.
If you remember me, please let me know how it it goes! I’m sorry to hear about your past trauma, and I hope it’s a transformatively healing experience for you. Much love!
You’re very kind and I will. And it’s not anything that I have really been aware of. I mean, I have but haven’t thought it wasn’t normal. I was homeless for a few years as an adolescent, then I was part of a genocide, then I learned that my parents were wildly abusive and normal people don’t do things like that. So from my perspective, everything has been fine and I’ve just been trying to get by. 😆🤦 Luckily, I met some people that got me help and that led me here. I’m entirely unaware of my own anxiety (even though others around me see it clearly) but I tested very high. So I have no idea what to expect, and my current homework is to come up with goals and I’m unsure of what I want the outcome to be.
Not necessarily disagreeing with you, but nowadays there’s thousands of different types, and hundreds of different modes, and they all are reactively different.
Definitely a fool, the correct drug would be cannabis.
MDMA is the most euphoric I’ve ever felt. Just pure insane bliss.
Weed just gives me intense anxiety.
Try different strains.

Hey, no offense meant, and I do apologize for the glib brevity there. Good on ya for avidly seeking solutions ✊🏽 Stay happy, find your best life! 🤗✨

It’s been soooo long. I should eat some golden teachers soon.

I don’t think they enjoy being strained.
That’s not how weed works
Some budding PhD candidates in pharmaceutical botany downvoting you I see. But for what it’s worth you are absolutely correct.

Cannabis is pretty lame and I hate hate the come up. It only makes me tired.
To be fair: the MDMA come up is worse

All drugs suck and are made for losers, anyway…
This guy never smoked, drank alcohol or drank anything with caffeine including green tee or cola
Or they just called themself a loser which isn’t that uncommon
I don’t smoke, nor drink alcohol and avoid coffee and tea, you’re right.
