The perks of being a naturally anxious and tense person - low chance of stim addiction

[soulwentmia]

I had really serious problems with downers - from gabapentinoids to benzos and opioids. I simply can't do that shit because it becomes my life then said life becomes unlivable.

With stims tho, even moreso with cocaine compared to others because of its price, i can safely do them without risking quote on quote addiction. Yes, as long as I have the bag on me I'm a menance and I redose like a retard but once that bag is over I pocket my L's and focus on coming down and sleeping. The trick here is to not do benzos or opioids or god forbid pregabalin cause then I become balanced and care free and continue to stimulate then sedate myself.

Despite being an absolute downer fiend, i can drink alchool no stress because I never go overboard and it's hard for me to stomach even reasonable quantities. When I used to come down with benzos, oxy or pregabalin, my life would become a few months worth of binge. Now I take propranolol, quatiapine and mirtazapine, have a beer or two and smoke a very small zoot. That said, my stimulant use has increased over the past few.months and while i wouldn't call it an addiction yet i'll take a big break from them as i can feel my delta fos b protein building up.

I think the best drugs for nervous people are like dissociatives, pot, and opiods. Stimulants seem to really throw the more highly strung individuals out of whack, yeah.
I'd say benzos but the rebound anxiety during withdrawl is horrible, worse than opiates/opiods. Dissociatives have their owns physical and psychological health drawbacks but they seem to be easier to self regulate for a lot of people. Pot is pot, if it helps you with nerves it helps, for some people we all know now that it makes it worse so listen to your body.

Pot sometimes has at least the same potential as stim binges or bad psych trips to really fuck with you. Depends, a few beers makes it nicer

Yeah it really depends on the person, their comfort level with cannabis and the other substances in play. Weed can actually be like, the worst thing for some people as far as stuff that has a potential to make them "wig out" or whatever.


The CBD content in most commercial marijuana is largely non existent, mixing some CBD flower with the high THC weed generally makes it a lot more managable for people who don't enjoy super potent cannabis, are new smokers, or simply aren't looking to get that high.

CBD also serves as a non psychoactive muscle relaxant. It really does add back in that "something" that I personally find missing from "dank" really heady high-thc stuff. Having a variety of flower that is rich in different cannabinoids really makes things more flexible as far as being able to function and enjoy cannabis without just getting munted constantly lol.

I'm a pretty high strung person and I am definitely susceptible to stimulant addiction (though certainly not to the extent that I am susceptible to opioid or benzo addiction).

And I can definitely handle a high dose of cocaine or methamphetamine far better than a high dose of weed.

I hate stimulants but when I tried crack once I could not stop for a few years.

I'm pretty anxious generally, but stimulants most of the time give me more clarity, but it can go sideways with any of them, particularly coke or meth. I function perfectly fine on daily Adderall or Vyvanse, but unfortunately don't get them any more.
