The Addicts' Lounge IV - fast times at Ridgemont, high - General

anyone else found MDMA to be more enjoyable alone? idk if I'm just hanging out with the wrong people or if my anxiety gets in the way but so far I can only truly enjoy it alone. I barely feel it when I do it with others for some reason, while the same MDMA and dose gets me floored if I'm alone [editline]1st August 2017[/editline] smoking weed on the end of the roll is trippy af btw. never experienced anything like that before with MDMA + weed

[QUOTE=cis.joshb;52528197]I had this problem for a long time. I would just feel bored with everything I did, and would do drugs to try to be entertained. Sometimes the drugs wouldn't be enough or wouldn't hit and I would be really dissapointed. Eventually I slacked off schoolwork once I went to college so much cause I just couldn't motivate myself to do things that weren't rewarding like drugs and video games. That's when I realized I had ADHD. I thought I couldn't have it cause I had a high highschool GPA, but that was with my parents motivating me with punishments and rewards. By myself I was completely nonfunctional, and they put me on stimulants. Methylphenidate based products (concerta, ritalin) didn't feel super great, but they helped me not feel the need to do drugs for an escape and to have the energy to do my work. Now I'm on adderall which feels great every time I take it because I feel like I'm getting high but also the high is just being functional and actually having a good time while working or living everyday life. I have far less random intense impulses to just go buy some DXM or get someone to get me a pack of cigs or some booze or call up a dealer for some DMT, other psychs, pills, etc. when I'm medicated. its also a fact that being on stimulants makes people with ADHD less likely to become drug addicts. Do you feel like your issues could be similar or are they mainly from depression? I honestly was quite depressed at points from the state of squalor my disorder left me living in and the intense anxiety that constantly failing and messing up and losing things and being clumsy caused.[/QUOTE] I don't know, I talked to therapists back and forth, was even put in the psycheward after an especially bad event and they tested me for all kinds of disorder but depression was really all they ever came up with. Even if I have ADHD I doubt I'd be diagnosed with it considering I'm 21 and they never diagnosed me with it as a kid. I do relate a lot though and there are times when I am bored even on weed but I think that's just cause I've done it daily for so long it doesn't have the novelty anymore on top of tolerance making the highs less intense. I'm just gonna chalk it up to my old lingering depression and that things will be different once I'm in a happier place in life.

Happy 75th birthday to the late and great Jerry Garcia. I know he's kind of a controversial figure and I'm kind of biased due to my love of his music, but he was an incredible musician and an inspirational soul.

my mom just called me to get some information on weed, what. I didnt even know she knew I smoked

[QUOTE=sourcegamer101;52529150]wow i didn't know how dirt cheap acid was here, its only 3 tabs for $20 :dance:[/QUOTE] make sure you test it. if you can't, then if it's bitter it's a spitter.

everything goes in circles aaaa

[QUOTE=Crumpet;52528435]How do you sleep on amph? I guess that's a question for anyone taking it regularly. If I take any amph at all that day I'm not sleeping that night.[/QUOTE] The XR methylphenidate products I took had kind of an extended comedown and sometimes inhibited sleep. I'm now on IR adderall and take 2 10mg pills a day. I can wake up with some addy so I actually get out of bed before 1PM and then when that starts to wear off 5 hours later I don't have to worry cause I have another pill. Then I take that eventually and 5 hours later it starts to wear off and eventually I feel pretty sleepy and physically tired from all of the fun ass adderall shit I've done all day from the long duration yet high peaks that 2 instant release doses gives you. Also sometimes I boof a dose or two, which makes it come up and down smoother and faster and is more potent. Anyways, adderall makes me feel like I've had a great day and I tend to tire myself out. [editline]2nd August 2017[/editline] [QUOTE=a-k-t-w;52528839] How did you get prescribed? Doctors prescribing ADHD meds makes me mad like all fuck. I understand ADHD is a real issue but the meds for it have the side effect of making you extremely happy and motivated. Where as if I take that same medication without a prescription I'm just a criminal. When I go and tell my doctor I'm depressed I get prescribed useless as fuck SSRIs that don't do anything or change my mood or motivation at all. Stimulants seem like an extreme option for just treating ADHD yet major depressive disorder (where you can experience the same issues as ADHD) is not as important I guess.[/QUOTE] Have you tried to get prescribed for ADHD? Just go into the doctor and tell him you think there might be something hiding in plain sight the whole time or something. IDK your academic situation and history and if you have any bad grades to show for it, or if you've had a very stressful time with academics, or lost jobs or had difficult times with them, or had problems with family due to lack of motivation and not feeling like doing anything (inattentiveness tends to shine through rather than hyperactivity in adults). Basically if it interferes with a major part of your life (work, school, home) it can be considered a disorder. Doctors prescribe ADHD meds pretty easily, much more easily than opioids and probably easier than benzos. They're function increasing drugs while the downers are function inhibiting drugs. Your doctor may put you on concerta or some kind of methylphenidate product to start, or an extended release adderall or vyvanse (a prodrug of amphetamine that acts like extended release). Usually you won't get a very good medication to start, I'd recommend avoiding methylphenidate. Some doctors are woke as fuck and will be like "yeah we know people sell their pills, that's why we're giving you concerta." If your doctor is woke and refuses to switch your medication even if you complain of side effects you might need to find a different doctor. My current doctor is fucking clueless about medications and has never once given me a warning about anything or told me about the risks of selling or sharing it, or that certain medications are more abusable and addictive. If your medical insurance/payments is through your parents, you may want to tell them that the current doctor refuses to change medication despite side effects. If they have you on concerta or vyvanse you can complain about the insane cost (vyvanse is literally 10 dollars a pill) (focalin XR, adderall XR and ritalin SR are also all above average in price). to be honest pretty much anyone could start taking a prescription ADHD medication regimen and assuming they aren't intolerant of it, improve their productivity and satisfaction

[/QUOTE] I take dexamphetamine 5 times a day at 5mg each. I also find that "waking up" with dex doesn't really work, as i've been taking it long enough that i can still feel tired and shit while dexed the fuck out. You can and i have fallen asleep after taking dex in the morning.

I used to do meth, and go to sleep lol. Especially after doing it everyday, breakfast, lunch and dinner. I guess the body can get used to a substance. Amphetamines in general require a full rested mind, with a nourished health; None of that "no eating for days" shit.

Tried some new cannabis oil in a friend's vape pen last night; granddaddy purple at 80% THC. One hit and I was stuck to the couch, it was unlike anything I've ever done before. I'm glad I didn't go in for a second or I'd still be on that couch.

I can't imagine how much weed I'd have to smoke to get my tolerance to a level where I'd need that

[QUOTE=Wealth + Taste;52532422]I can't imagine how much weed I'd have to smoke to get my tolerance to a level where I'd need that[/QUOTE] I only started smoking last winter and my tolerance is still pretty low. It hit me like a ton of bricks.

[QUOTE=Flicky;52532439]I only started smoking last winter and my tolerance is still pretty low. It hit me like a ton of bricks.[/QUOTE] Keep your tolerance low! Nothing is to be gained from every day smoking unless it is medical usage. Staying lightweight means using less weed which means less money is wasted on the stuff.

I don't know I kind of like getting to that point where you could smoke weed and then do pretty much anything you want afterwards while still being high, but not mind blown high where you are stuck in a seat for an hour. [editline]2nd August 2017[/editline] I wish weed was legal and cheap so I could smoke a pack of joints a day tbh.

I always sound like an idiot trying to interact with people while stoned, so when I do get high I just go all in and try to stay in.

Im tripping rn this is fucking amazing

I don't know how it will go down here in Australia though, doctors really try and not give anyone anything addictive ever. I was in hospital once and they wouldn't even give a guy complaining about chronic back pain anything stronger than paracetamol because he said he smokes weed for pain relief. I've also told my doctor that I've been self medicating/abusing dexamphetamine, my chances of her taking me seriously is low. I wouldn't mind methylphenidate and wouldn't mind getting prescribed that because it doesn't make me "high" like dexies do, I can just focus and not immediately forget shit. I'll go see my doctor but I'm fully expecting to be told to fuck off and treated like a junkie trying to score.

this experience is ineffable, its like popping an ADHD pill when it comes to thoughts and emotions. everything i think has significant emotional weight to it positive or negative, time is going by sooo sloow. also, i enjoy it much more alone too

Taking a month+ long T-break after smoking daily for months its fucking agonizing especially when the housemates are lit nightly

Well, im at the tail end of an acid trip and it was a wild ride. Would i do it again? Fuck yes, without a doubt. Would i do it with people? Not really after today My friends are good people, but they were kinda crappy tripmates. the first friend was just annoying throughout the trip, which was alright but managable. my second one gave bad vibes. I dont want it to seem like im selfish and only care for my needs of the trip, i tried to keep a good vibe for all of us. We smoked a backwoods blunt waiting for the comeup, which helped the nausea, but probably amplified the trip by like 2x in retrospect. We chilled at my place when the peak was about to set in and it was amazing. but here's where it gets bad. Right into the peak, we made the mistake of going to friend 2s house, where his fucked up stepdad said he has 2 months before he gets kicked out. So his stepdad walks up to me and says "im cool with you, get out." In the most condescending angry tone ive ever heard, then tells friend 1 to get out too. I get up trying to stay out of it and be chill, then moments later his step dad leaves and friend 2 has an emotional breakdown, crying. I literally felt a weight of negative and complex emotions crashing over me like a tsunami. Me fucking peaking, i went over to comfort my friend and try to help him out, which worked and took away a weight from my shoulders. Friend 2 then decides to pack up and leave to friend 1s house for the night to get away from it and i went home after for the last half of the trip. In conclusion, im fucking surprised i could keep composure like that, and i will only have trips alone or with 1 good friend for now on

The day before yesterday, my dealer forgot I wanted hash so he gave me weed instead, and weed doesn't last as long as a piece of hash does Smoked the last of it last night, could've been stoned today too if he'd remembered :(

What's it like sleeping on acid?
