Like I say - it's a DRI like cocaine so of course it's re-enforcing.... if you like DRIs. I do NOT. I've been offered free coke and I get strange looks when I decline.
I have a strange relationship with drugs. Probably due to a traumatic experience with stimulant drugs. I do not get reenforcing/addictive effects with hard drugs that have the potential to cause serious harm. For example, I have methamphetamine lying around but I NEVER feel the urge to use/abuse it. The only reason I have it is to self-medicate for ADHD (and since I'm on Vyvanse for the past months, I haven't even consumed meth so it's just sitting in my cabinet). I also have benzos, LSD, and DMT in my stash. I usually have
addictive effects with drugs that have low potential to cause bodily harm. For example, with methamphetamine, I consciously know that if I
abuse this drug I will die of heart attack or other serious condition, and if I
overuse it, I know it causes neurotoxicity and I will eventually turn into a degenerate filth even if I never overdosed that'd induce heart attack or other effects.
But with things that have
less harm, I feel addicted to it. That's the case with ketamine. If I had K, I know it wouldn't kill me (at least in standard recreational doses) so I feel like I got hooked and felt a constant urge to take a bump. Same with DMT — the effects go away in 30 minutes and it virtually produces no tolerance to I feel the urge to take DMT even when I don't want to (like if I have some work to do or other shit). I was "hooked" on DMT when I tried it for the first time, I'd try DMT 3 times a day (these days I limit myself to once a week or once every two weeks). The only reason I quit K was because I was having minor bladder issues (like difficulty urinating, frequent urination) so I quit immediately when I noticed these side effects.
Maybe this behavior is linked to my ADHD, because we tend to have difficulty delaying immediate gratification, and act on impulsive urges. I quit coke because I knew it's cardiotoxic and the benefits didn't outweigh the side effects (I had panic attacks in the middle of the night when I did coke, like 10 hours after doing a line). I once accidentally took armodafinil and cocaine together and had the worst panic attack of my life (I literally felt like I was going to die), so that experience made me respect stimulant drugs and never fuck with them.
