In my late 40s, hippie speed balls every morning. Bad(?) habit I picked up (again) within the past five years. Like a few other have said, it really levels me out, giving me the ability to fine tune my focus first thing in the morning. The absurdities at work nearly require marijuana consumption. Being a midday slug has been the only downside.
I'm 43 and TIL about a hippy speedball. I've been doing this shit for over half my life lol.
I was a little bummed to see so much half tobacco/half marijuana when i went to Amsterdam this spring. My lungs weren't thrilled but the nicotine was surprisingly nice especially after day drinking and walking literally all day.
I dont understand how my coworkers deal with the public without a wake and bake. Now given, not all of them are as nice to the customers as I am, but dam. Id have to kill someone if I was just rawdogging this job 5 days a week.
I'm a medicated ADHDer and I treat coffee like just yet another medication.
I was never a coffee drinker (or medicated in general) until my 40s. But now I literally prepare myself a cup of coffee in the morning and at lunch time, the same times I take my adderall. The combination is working great, even if it doesn't fix everything.
I just quit my coffee, and roughing it out, so that the psych can see me in my true state.
Used to gulp down more coffee than water.
The dose makes the poison. Weed is not a panacea but it sure as hell isn't the devil. If you are getting F'd up you need to cut back the dose or switch to edibles; you don't get as functionally high, but it's more intense and lasts longer. Also know your weed: Indicas are more of a "body high" (Sleepy, pain reduction, relaxation, "vibes") where as Sativas are more of a "mental high" (mental "buzz," creativity, giggles, anxiety reduction) get a good hybrid that focuses more on the thing you want to fix. If you are in a funk, a Sativa dominant strain is what you need, if you are burnt out, you need an indica dominant one.
Terpenes are where the health effects are, but they don't line up neatly with the indica / sativa dichotomy. I love a good hybrid with limonene and pinene but it's kind of hard to find both in the same flower out here
we really need to properly decriminalize so we can study these compounds. There was a study using some naturally derived psychotropics done in Brazil some years ago that showed promising benefits in reducing the mechanisms that activate PTSD triggers, for instance, but nothing ever really came of it, because of stigma surrounding the "recreational" uses.
Basically the study found that if you take a psychotropic shortly after the traumatizing event, it disrupts the amygdala's ability to parse and store the memory in a way that becomes malignant. This makes it FAR easier to process the event through therapy, and outcomes were greatly improved.
Ah yes, the good ol' hippie speedball. Was fun while it lasted but I'm glad I quit. Looking back, it didn't really make my ADD any easyier to handle, tbh. Just gave me a reward to focus on to do the mundane shit...
So glad I grew out of this. I still drink copious amounts of tea but any amount of weed is destructive.
I'll share something I posted a good decade ago on Reddit.
I used to smoke at least a joint a day sometimes multiple. I was consistently wake and bake outside of work. You know what weed does that no one wants to discuss? It makes you complacent. It sucks your drive to do anything. As a young person that's a horrible place to be. You are young, you should be taking risks and you should be striving for better.
The weed years are a blur.
To be fair I miss it compared to experiencing the rise of fascism real time.
Unfortunately, weed only sends my anxiety over the top these days.
It makes you complacent.
Sometimes thatβs good.
I quit for a while to try to get a government job. My dream job. They offered, then rescinded because of trans/Trumpβs EO.
Now I donβt give a fuck. Iβm sober for work, but otherwise when Iβm home Iβm high.
Like I canβt do anything about climate change/the fact that the president is a rapist, but I can get stoned, enjoy food that feels like itβs making love to my taste buds, make art that my fucked up brain tells me is a masterpiece and have mind blowing sex that means I donβt have to engage with conscious thought at all.
I agree with you, and I think weed really helped me even though I'm not using any right now.
Sometimes it's extremely beneficial to be chemically pushed into a good mood and satisfied with just existing, when otherwise existence just seems to be misery and pain.
But it is not a permanent fix. It's a band-aid while you find more permanent ways to improve your life. But band-aids can hurt to take off when you're done with them.
It's the opposite for me. Weed gives me the motivation to do things.
Same. If I'm in too much pain, the only motivation I have is to fix the pain. You'll never guess what does that.
I smoke two joints in the morning
"I smoke two joints in the morning,
And I smoke two joints at night.
I smoke two joints, before I smoke two joints,
And then I smoke two more!"
you missed a few lines. "I smoke two joints in the afternoon
and it makes me feel alright.
I smoke two joint in times of peace,
and two in times of war"
I smoked too much and forgot
Because you got high? (x3)
My room is still messed up and I know why

It's me, I'm in this meme. Those are still technically medications, just self-prescribed.
Remember, it's society that is dysfunctional. We're accommodating it's dysfunction for our own safety and security.
I love Adderall. But I didn't really feel right until I started using weed. The combination leaves me with a blank, calm mind that allows me to focus. You'll take weed from my cold, dead hands.
I'm unfortunate because while weed is a great disassociative recreation for me and basically a part of my culture, it seriously suppresses my ability to think through complex issues in the way that's required for the technical work / hobbies I do, while adderal and other stimulant-type meds make me very tense and aggravated even at low doses. I've heard good things about clonadine though, non-stimulant adhd med, I've got plans to ask my doc about it.
I'm on clonidine because I have a multi-generational family history of aortic dissection. I was on vyvanse for about two years before my dad's aorta killed him. I've never been more on top of my life than when I was on a stimulant. But clonidine absolutely does help me focus, and it reduces the noise in my head, even if the effects are less profound than the stim.
I just added buproprion back into my daily meds, hoping that's going to help more with the executive dysfunction

weed makes me anxious and panic. why? booze makes me puke. so ya. cheap date, i am.
I have an extended-release Ritalin prescription that I take every morning. It's amazing. Best stuff in the world.
But oh, man, adding an edible 2-3 times a week before bed leaves me SO much more able to function during the week.
Before those two, life was stressful as all hell.
But with those two things, I'm kicking ass and taking names all week long.

Actually self medication theory teaches us that some individuals will wind up choosing the correct medication, so yeah.

Jokeβs on you - Iβm medicated and still do all that
Coffee doesn't seem to do anything to me and idk what that means
I always want to take a nap after a few cups.
So, it's weird but coffee just runs through my gut. Espresso is what wakes me up. I can't explain it. If I use the aeropress, it's concentrated enough.

i switched my coffee for a B complex gummy in the AM and a B12+D after lunch. It's been working gangbusters for my mood. Probably too much B vitamins but idgaf
Huh. I do a B12 (missing the absorbtive parts) every other day and it's not that noticeable now that my b levels are right. I wonder if I take a bit more...
I'm a raging alcoholic so i need the extra Bs
vitamin b is water soluble so any excess is just getting peed out, so you're safe there. the ones you gotta look out for are a, d, and e. those are all fat should've and can build up inside you body and eventually cause issues

I do not drink coffee but take cannabinoids as ADD Medication as capsules. It is wonderful, if the right mix for cannabinoids has been found and got allowed as meds.
