Alright so.... I'm planning on going back to college in a few months... but first I need to get my GED (yes, I'm a pathetic highschool dropout loser who had no diploma or GED at age 31)...

anyways I have a really hard time motivating myself to study... Adderall definitely helped in the past... but that shit is like expensive as fuck

I could buy a gram of meth.... if used in 10-30mg doses it would be EXTREMELY cost effective.... yet I know myself and I would probably just binge on it.

My question is has anyone successfully moderated meth usage for productivity and not binged on it? Is it possible?
 
Can be done theoretically. Probably not a realistic substance to use for productivity for most. I don't use meth nor have I tried it so I don't know personally.

I will say that amphetamine type drugs seem to be whatever you make them to be, and require willpower to be used sparingly for positive, productive purposes. Often they end up becoming a joy ride.

I've used adderall and vyvanse, and I usually enjoy cleaning but would find something like school or office work boring as hell. Art is where its art on amphetamine for me personally. Painting and drawing, singing and drumming. Fucking sick.
 
I don't recommend meth. Some people seem to be ok .. but for most people repeated use tends to create a scattering and disordered effect .. not to mention compulsive use. Only my meth dealer has ever sent me an 8 page letter .. full of absolute harmless crap .. all my other dealers are .. well .. dealers .. and these days I have a dealer for everything except coke.

True - it massively improves memory, concentration and boldness and while I've had the best ideas I've ever had on meth they all came at a big price. Often you'll escape from some socially held cognitive dissonance (contradicting belief) and re-order your thought to work without it .. only to discover everybody thinks your an idiot / lying / cheating when you solve problems with it. This is what it's like being an outsider .. meth really taught me that I was an outsider.

That said if you can keep the doses ultra small .. e.g· 5-10mg you might be ok. Maybe make it into ice cubes so you can't just smoke it all or shoot it for kicks - desoxyn (pharmacy meth) comes in 5mg tablets .. for that reason. Personally .. when I've got speed around .. I sometimes take speed, but when I've got meth around .. I'm taking meth until I've got no more meth. Problem is that this is regular use and amphetamine habits are particularly destructive of your life.

I'd say school is a bit early to be getting a drug habit like that. Tolerance is a bitch and all that. By all means take meth irregularly to party .. I took about 3000 pills / tonnes of speed (and a tiny bit of meth - was rare in the UK then) whiule doing my degree / PhD and first job or two.. but it was all dancing and sex and I could afford 4 or 5 day weekends .. in fact .. they helped. I'd get tired out and work hard as it was fucking grim going trhough some savage comedown from a massive bender while being really fucking poor. That made me realise .. I wanted enough money to at least buy some fucking downers for the comedown.

The only functional use I found for meth at work .. was to give me that edge I needed to be interested in and enthusiastic about things I didn't believe in. This isn't usually that productive .. as it provides a way for senior people to avoid taking responsibility as it's all on you .. but sometimes you just work in a shit place like that and meth will get you through to the next job.
 
I probably don’t need to chip in here to say attempts at moderate use have never worked for me. I am engaged in full time study but once the meth starts all studying comes to an end. There is something specifically moreish that meth has that makes it far less controllable than other stimulants like dexamfetamine (which I can stick to taking in Rx doses). Also, meth doses don’t have to get that high before you get the scattered thinking effects that @kinkyjohn mentioned and it begins to affect your memory / retention of new information. I would not risk it and if you indeed have ADD/ADHD that will negatively affect your planned study you would be far better served by getting a diagnosis and script for something safer.

Nooooooo!!! please look at how meth has destroyed the lives of so many on YouTube. I don't mean the propaganda I mean the real meth addicts.
 
I don't think it's a good idea to rely on meth or on any strong stimulant for motivation, though it can be extremely helpful at times. If you're not motivated nor particularly interested why go to college?
In that case I would also consider other options like getting the GED and learning a trade or something like that. Surely there's something you're interested in? Not everyone has to go to college IMO, it doesn't necessarily make you better or worse than anyone else.
 
If anything I'd use something like some Adderall or Vyvanse if I were to go down this route. It's clean, medical grade. It's less intoxicating, and it's not meth. Meth is one of the worst addictions you'll ever have, and if you're pretty sure that you're gonna binge I wouldn't do it. I'm not even sure I'd recommend the Adderall of Vyvanse honestly, but if you're going to go down this route look for those over meth, seriously it's a rough habit to have.
 
You'll find the ability to study if you're truly wanting to get into it drugs or not. There's a distinct possibility that you'll just get the amphetamine habit and none of the studying regardless. Try to find it inside yourself to get things done regardless of substance, you'll feel much better about yourself and find you may just be able to do things without the need for all this, yknow? I think you can manage speed or not. It will be harder if you get hooked on amps though, in the end. The good part of that habit only lasts so long, and then what for college? It's in your hands what you want to do, you'll decide what's best for you. We can only make suggestions from experience.

In my experience, meth is life ruining.

Hello mate, welcome to Bluelight!

It depends upon the subject of your question as to where it should be posted.

I suggest you click on 'forums' to go back the the site overview. Then select 'Post Thread' at the top right. This will then ask you where you want to post it. Choose an option then create a title and write your post underneath then send it.

If it's not in the right place, the appropriate mod will move it for you. For general questions 'Basic Drug Discussion' (BDD) is usually a good starting point.

Fire away good sir..!
 
I think Adderall would be better suited for your purposes and is more sustainable as a study aid in the long term. I also think it might be better for you to build up your own study skills (it is a skill) naturally. With that said, I have used methamphetamine when I was under the gun for writing projects in the past. I literally ghost-wrote an entire book in one week while using it. I find it very good for getting words on the page, so if you've got a huge essay or some other kind of singular task you need to focus on, it might be useful. I don't think it's a good substance to try and retain information on.

I snorted small amounts of very high grade meth for that week (when I say small, I mean small - probably around 5-20mg at a time). I got my shit done and then crashed for like 2 days afterwards. I think I bought half a gram of it and it lasted me through 2 high intensity projects (so probably only using about 250mg an entire week).

It can be done, but I really don't think it's the best idea, especially if you don't have self-control. I think i'd still categorize how I used it as a "binge," but I didn't go overboard or just use it to get my rocks off. There was probably a 6 month gap between those uses too.

So is it possible? Ime, yes. Is it advisable? No, it's probably a bad idea.

Actually.. its ma'am LOL. Thank you for responding to my post. I'm not sure if I'm even replying correctly.. I just clicked "post reply". I'll give it a try..Thanks again!
 
Studying pornography maybe. lol

I do not recommend using meth as a study aid. It is too addictive and moreish and is a neurotoxin, which can actually hinder your learning abilities in the long run.
 
Meth is a sex tool!!! If you take meth and want to study I think you will get eventually caught up in online porn and wind up jerking off for 2 hours. Happens to most of us on meth. It’s a sex drug.

don't.
 
This is such a terrible idea, I suggest you do it and document the process with a podcast!
