Sometimes it bums me out to come in the PD social thread and see so much talk about meth/amps, smack, coke, etc. Isn't this the psychedelics forum?
To be completely honest, psychedelics were my gateway. They gave some very important experiences and still do when I take them. They also got me into trying "hard" drugs and ordering chemicals online via research and talk on bluelight.
For all those years where I strictly pot/psychs/some opies, I was very discriminating of stimulant users. I saw them as arrogant, egotist and all the stuff stimulants stereotypically do to people. And here I am, because of my affiliation with psychedelics and my love of the stimulated euphoria they give me I wanted something like that but something that I could use more regularly and around other people in regular settings. As talk of it rose on bluelight I tried amphetamine.
It is my drug of choice, it is my addiction, I love it and I hate it. I always tried not to use too much and did so for well over a year but since I started school, it's been daily, up until two days ago.
As an anxious, awkward, skinny guy to start with you can imagine what happens when I'm on a run with it. I sleep less, I eat less, I talk less, I laugh less. Ultimately, I enjoy life less.
I've summoned the willpower to stop and I already feel a bit better. I was getting really skitterery with bug-eyes, it didn't feel good at all. All things in moderation of course. I love amphetamine but I hate amphetamine used frequently. I'm certainly going to use again in the future, it's just so seductive to take a dose at lunchtime and feel "good" for a couple hours.
That said I'm completely off my center and I'm going to take some LSD in a couple weeks during the break, I haven't had a solo trip in a year.
As great as psychedelics are I have to credit them with giving me my first taste of dopamine/serotonin modulating drugs which led me to try amphetamines. I'm just glad I used them before i used amphetamines because they gave me a higher awareness of myself, which gives me the ability to see and know when my amphetamine use is harming me and gives the ability to stop cold turkey to get well again.
I think you'll find most problems with amphetamines in the world come from people who aren't aware of their use; they don't eat and they don't sleep. The nutrient and sleep deficiency combined with amphetamines eats them out from the inside.
Part of my recent amphetamine run has been school related, which I now see is complete bullshit. Amphetamine makes me dumber. I may have more focus on one particular thing and makes me study faster but I don't absorb any of it. When not on speed I slow down and actually learn properly. I no longer view amphetamine as a way to give me an edge in school; it's an absolute hindrance, not an aid. Also the lack of pushy anxiety the last couple days has been a nice break.
