Methylphenidate + Marijuana | Experienced | Ritalin can be fun after all

I have always responded well to methylphenidate (ritalin) while on an SSRI. I am writing from the experience right now, and after ruling ritalin out as a decent drug for a long time I actually enjoy it now.
Doses: 80mg methylphenidate, 1 bowl dank
Time: 6:00 pm
0:00 I had a time release form of ritalin, 20mg per capsule, which I realized wouldn't be as good unless I crushed it up. I don't have my mortar here, so I used a flat metal opener and a bowl. It worked surpisingly well, so I took 20mg worth and snorted it. Right after, I poured the remaining 60mg in a glass of soda and let it dossolve a little, then drank it. Finally, I smoked one bowl of some really good indica to top it off.
0:15 By now the weed had really set in. I was feeling a lot of pleasant pressure in my head, and a marked pressure in my spine that I don't get from smoking alone. The sensations felt great, and it made me happy just to be enjoying myself in peace. I felt excited about life, but not "tweaked", a good mood really. I don't think much of the ritalin had kicked in yet, but I could definately feel a slightly stronger euphoria than with weed.
0:45 I felt absolutely great. The ritalin I had snorted had just peaked, I could tell - however it was obvious that I hadn't fully digested the rest yet. I talked on the phone and had some really great conversations. It seemed so easy to work through some of my problems that I had faced that week. I felt at ease after clearing up some random bullshit with my dad, and settled down to watch tv.
1:00 (now) I felt like doing something more productive so now I am writing this experience. The ritalin I drank has kicked in strong. I definately think the euphoria is enhanced by the weed, and vice versa. I would like to try and use these capsules to keep me awake when I smoke a lot on the weekend (where I usually get lazy and fall asleep). The mood of the two drugs are very complimentary, although my heart is beating a little faster than I'd like. Still, I am not sweaty or shaky too bad. I'm listening to a radiohead album and the notes sound so perfect and clear. I can really focus and get into it, and the bass feels good.
So, I'll let this be a shorter trip report. But I heartily recommend that anyone who doesn't like ritalin give it a shot with some good old bud. Happy trails.
Peace :)
 
I like this report. Ritalin is fun by itself, but since all of my binges naturally tie weed into the equation, most of my experience with Rits have been with herb and usually on a comedown from something else. But I do agree that these are a good combo.
 
mushroom: you say that it lasts you for like seven hours? That's exactly what it does to me. It seems like it stretches the weed high out just fooooorever.
Gotta watch out for paranoia and rapid heartbeat! Not to mention complete and sudden changes in appetite.
Peace ;)
 
Thanks for the warning..
Anyone prone to heart problems or panic/anxiety attacks should not do this!
 
HAHAHA, a funny story just came to mind... i was sitting here thinking "hmm... ritalin and bud... i should try that sometime..."
i just remembered though... that one time when i was really faded... and i remembered i had a paper to do.... the only way i could get it done at all was to take several ritalin. it brought me back up for a very long time, but i could finally concentrate on the paper, lol... i had to turn it in that day (what an idiot!)... that was my final exam of the class and i managed to get an A so i guess the paper was good enough! lol... thank god for ritalin. oh yeah, and i agree it felt really good ;)
