    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. 🤙🏼

      Silly nosy 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.

        Ask away!

        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.
