Hey everyone, out of all the drugs I tried (which include at least one, though usually several, from all the major drug categories), stimulants are certainly the ones that speak to me the most. They enable me to do the things I want to be doing anyway and enjoy myself as I do them. Not that I can never manage this without stimulants - but I can do it much more reliably and efficiently with them. Naturally, this comes with a few problems, namely increasing dosages, either due to a build-up of tolerance, or to compensate for a lack of sleep, or simply because the experience is so enjoyable, I don't want it to end.
I have experimented with different stimulants and encountered these issues to varying degrees:
- Cocaine is the most extreme example of a stimulant I absolutely cannot use responsibly. If I have any, I WILL end up binging until it is gone, then crash afterwards. Knowing this, I buy it only rarely and in small quantities and only when I have a day or two to waste.
- Ritalin XR: This is on the other end of the spectrum to cocaine for me. It does provide a stimulating effect, but it is at best minimally pleasant. Ritalin XR is the type of stimulant I have the easiest time having in the house and NOT using (even absent any alternatives), just because I don't dig its effects very much at all.
- Amphetamine: This sits right in the middle of the other two in terms of my ability to use in moderation. I find the effect quite enjoyable, but not as much as with coke, and I can usually keep my use to a level where I always eat enough healthy food and also get enough sleep most nights.
- Methamphetamine: I only had this a few times in my life as it is a scary drug to get involved with. The first two or three times were mind-blowingly amazing, however the more recent experiences were much less impressive and actually rather close to regular amphetamine, so I figured I might aswell just stick with that.
As far as ROA, I try to go for oral due to it being somewhat less addictive, though I do of course snort coke (and sometimes amphetamine). I never smoke/vape or inject anything, nor do I ever plan to.
As far as supplements, I do take a range of multivitamins, minerals, fish oil, aswell as (periodically) 5-HTP and L-Tyrosine, and while I suppose that's probably good for my overall health, I can't judge to what degree it assists my body in tolerating the stimulant use specifically.
In any case, I would be curious what strategies those of you have developed who want to use stimulants basically as often as possible without escalating doses or otherwise slipping into tweakerish patterns of behaviour. Which stimulants have you found to be easier to control than others? Is it helpful to have a cycling pattern where e.g. you use different stimulants on alternating days or weeks? Do you have any rules as to what time of day your last dose can be? Etc. Obviously, the "best" way is just to not do drugs, or to only do them only very infrequently, but I'm kind of asking for the second-best way here I guess, so I would appreciate if anyone who has experience with that could weigh in.
