Is weed creativity a meme?
Should I waste my opiates on reading?

Recommend this on the subject. Both were members of the Assassin's Club which was basically the first dude weed lmao fanclub. Gautier embraces it, Baudelaire rejects it, each has their reasons.

Doing drugs is a degenerate meme. Only wannabe wiggers, self-aggrandizing faggots, or full blown addicts do it. There is no middle ground. The overzealous attempts to ascribe positive benefits to drug use is the mark of a delusional child who can't accept that he or she is a loser. It's all a meme

When I was in highschool I did quite a few. Loads of psychedelics. But after highschool once I got real responsibilities I couldn't do shrooms or acid without a clear mind. So I did mdma, cocaine and shit like that. Haven't done drugs for years though. Even quit pot. Shit just started giving me anxiety.

for the most part drugs are a distraction in writing. a little weed can give you the focus needed to access your creativity, but if you have any discipline you won't need that. alcohol i find shuts my creative mind down completely. i become bored with writing, and once i start i just want to drink more.

I'm a photographer and I notice when I am high on weed I take way more pictures and a lot more seems worth photographing. It doesn't make my pictures any better I just sort of see plain shit in a nicer way. It's weird. I'd take pictures I normally wouldn't take. But they aren't any better. So yeah I don't know.

actually drugs are pretty fun and depending on who you are not that addicting.

I have an adderall prescription for fiction (but what you gain in focus you lose in ability to daydream and let moods and feeling wash over you) and for poetry I love percocets and opioids in general, they really increase your sensitivity to beauty and the music of words. Weed works well for poetry too, but you get a bit whimsical and geared towards humor.

Everything else, from my experience, just makes you too dumb to read or write. Never tried to microdose but I feel it wouldn't be that different from weed.

No, doing drugs is degenerate. You're either a nigger, (unlikely if you're browsing Veeky Forums) or you are one of those appalling dude bros who's life isn't going to be worth jackshit in ten years time.

>delusional child who can't accept that he or she is a loser.
What if I like drugs and know I'm a loser
I also don't know what self-aggrandizing means

Writers that don't do drugs end up writing new yorker fiction.

Good combo's I've heard a lot of good things about micro-dosing, but it's so hard to dose right that I'm not sure its worth it
But there have been quite a few successful artists who have indulged in drugs no? I find that most people with this opinion actually haven't ever tried drugs, which really detracts from the validity of your opinion

Dude, opiates dull your perception. Maybe at the beginning when you're on low doses it'll make things nice, but that path leads to emotional stasis. Nothing that is beautiful affects a junkie.

Most tabs you find around in cities are not that strong, some times I have to take two or three to have some good effects, but the anxiety is just off the charts.

I think of trying of getting one of those weak sauce tabs and just take a sixth and see how it feels. And then move from there up or down. Not super scientific but I never had bad interactions with lsd even at high doses.

>tfw I know non-legacies attending Ivy League exclusively on their own merit who drink and do drugs no problem

Yeah you keep it at low doses. It's like alcohol, you want to have two glasses, not black out.

No you don't

These /pol/ tourists really don't know this board that well. What a bunch of proselytizing bores they are.

Reading high is can be entertaining but it's largely a waste of time. The thing is, it distorts your perception and can make you appreciate things that are not really good. A lot of drugs just stops you from focussing. Stick with coffee. Also don't do opiates.

"drugs" expand your capacity for thought, but abuse will dull you

Yes this is truth although I'd trade tea for coffee.

Not him but yeah I do. Shit, I went to an Ivy+ and we all drank and did drugs.

>don't do opiates.
not that simple doug
>I'd trade tea for coffee.
For the sake of less caffeine or taste/variety ?

Yeah, I do, actually. Northwestern and Cornell if I have to be specific.

Granted they aren't stoners, drunks, or cokeheads, but they still have done acid at least once, smoke weed, and drink more times a week than not.

You feeble debauchee, get on my level.

>No drugs
>No alcohol
>No soda
>No porn
>No vidya
>No TV
>No avoiding the gym

I will ascend towards levels unprecedented within a decade. All are welcome to attempt this journey with us (as long as you're white) at your daily /pol/ self improvement thread.

>daily /pol/ self improvement thread.
It gets swamped by garbage though that sub has become very shitty very quickly

This, if you indulge in any sort of mindless pleasures like masturbation or drug use, your spirit is blackened and your soul is corroded. You will never find true inner peace while living such a life

t. young rabid Alex P Keaton

Oh btw Trump has never been a free agent the Rothschild still run the Federal Reserve so they still run him as well as the game.

>reading high

No. It makes me bored easily since I end up daydreaming too much and don't pay a lot of attention, end up rereading the same paragraph.

>writing high

I have found THC effective for brainstorming purposes and amphetamines for writing certain types of short fiction where a focused mind helps one write a tautological narrative. (As far as longer fiction goes I am struggling to elucidate clearly; too many achronological thoughts.) It is highly dependent on the setting, however. Your own home may provide too many temptations. I like to go for walks in the woods, with headphones on, and using google docs on my phone with google text to speech enabled. If I'm at home I usually end up writing a few sentences and proceed directly to the nearest video game console.

My one friend who is a biochemist tells me that drugs can't give you anything you don't already have. If you aren't bursting with ideas in your sober boring time, you are unlikely to have meaningful epiphanies while high. It can however potentiate some ideas that were lurking in the shadows. But if your internal experience isn't more exciting than external stimuli, you will find the television, and not much else.

The board has seen tremendous growth within this past year, you can thank the ridiculous US election for that. With more people, typically comes more bullshit. Still has done exponentially more than Veeky Forums, or any other board for that matter.

>Still has done exponentially more than Veeky Forums

Veeky Forums was never trying to *do* anything. It was fine simply being a board on Veeky Forums. Just like all the others.

I think it's a tastier drink, yes, and so I can drink like 5 or 6 cups before it starts to send me into a bad trip like coffee does after 2

What the fuck are you on about? Influencing the US election is nothing compared to the power of /b/'s cultural force.

>If you aren't bursting with ideas in your sober boring time, you are unlikely to have meaningful epiphanies while high.

Very true. Took me 10 years to realize this though. Now I'm state dependent!

You will never reach the highs of my debauched life:

>go to ivy league for philosophy
>marry rich girl and move to brooklyn
>live as a kept man doing nothing
>be extremely familiar with the cannon
>be an amateur boxer with a 4-1 record
>live an extreme party life surrounded by models, escorts, musicians and artists
>write poetry at on the roof of my building watching the sun rising over manhattan after a night of drinking

How does it feel knowing your best days are behind you? I'd genuinely consider suicide.

>feminine passive aggression

>Mistaking feminine passive aggression with an honest question

I'm 27, but buying a how in mexico now, spending the summer there, drinking mezcal on the beach.

>doubling down on the cattiness and feminine horseshit

I get tabs off darknet markets (more reliable dose and quality) dissolve it in a measured amount of distilled water and squirt a dose of it in my mouth on mornings I want to microdose

>self-aggrandizing faggots

>doesn't tag the self-aggrandizing /pol/ faggots too

I wonder why.

Inhalants have quite a profound impact on my writing abilities.

>be an amateur boxer
I thought I was the only amateur boxer on /lit how do you reconcile the probable ocular and, to a lesser extent, brain damage?

>mornings I want to microdose
Whats that like user? Mood and concentration wise, I've gone to threshold levels and just get anxiety and mild confusion

kek

I take 600mg (300×2) Gabapentin a day and it's great for anything

You keep tossing this word around, I don't think you know what it means.

I think you will find that the word is an apt description of the "Ivy Leaguers" who take the greatest of pleasures in consuming illicit substances with their friends

kekeke thanks for the response man

>Should I waste my opiates on reading?

Yeah, what else are you gonna do on them dude?

I think you will find that you are saying this because you are boring and triggered.

1.) Listen to music
2.) Try and have sex but end up cuddling
3.) Watch a movie

>druggie thinks le weed drank meme makes him interesting

>merit
Ivyshit does not accept on merit, it accepts on an ideological mold, which druggies like you fit into.

>trying to respond to trip dubs

Go and be boring somewhere else you angry milquetoast loser.

You're the angry milquetoast loser, though.

>you are th-the one that is th-though

You're addicted to shitposting. It's a vice. You talk clean but still live dirty. You're not even in a position to arrogantly lecture people you conflicted fraud. And you secretly know it. Get gone already you mope.

>Ivyshit does not accept on merit
1-800-C'mon-Now

wow epin you sure beat me
maybe if i post a meme hell say im right

>wow epin you sure beat me

You have nothing to say to that because it hit a nerve.

I know it. You know it. LARP all you want, fraud.

wow nice psychoanalysis right there i must clearly be trying to fit some heroic ideal because some leaf said so

Well I'm a bit of an assholes, one of those tall and fast guys who fight under their weight, so yeah I kinda don't get hit and I'm stopping where I'm at.

No interest in pursuing a career and at my age fighting is becoming a little bit too rough. Still training and sparring though. Thinking of picking up some muay thai fo fun.

You refuse to give up your shitposting sessions because it is a vice that you are addicted to. You are literally carrying out addictive behavior as we speak and you refuse to accept this. You think you aren't degenerate? You think your love of this endless shittalking immediacy isn't degenerate?

You are lying to yourself. And you are so insecure over this that you need to LARP as outraged puritan extra hard to soothe your conscience over it. Nothing about you is genuine. You are a fraud.

yes yes mr goldberg ill be sure to spend lots of money on pharmaceuticals

>so triggered he's nervously spouting gibberish now

Fuck off already you faggot addict in denial.

I take diphenhydramine thanks to allergies and mixing it with ibuprofen is great. Relieves my itching, makes me drowsy, and allows me to just relax and float away with whatever I'm doing.

I know it's not uardcore drug use or anything but for OTC stuff it's good. I took a friend's valium one time for back pain and that was a crazy feeling. Anything that slows my mind down is good to me.

Was the anxiety there only when you were high or did you develop general anxiety from weed? If the latter how much did you smoke and how long until you saw improvements?

the people going on about degeneracy need to go back. youre a fucking faggot mate and a brainlet. no one here gives a fuck that you got bullied in hs and go to a community college where the professors are "marxist." no one cares that you love capitalism. communism being bad does not validate your materialist ideology. read a fucking book you fat retarded faggots. stop ruining threads - there are no upvotes here.

op, kratom is great for reading. people who have not experimented with psychedelics have not lived.

I drink a lot of coffee during the day, sometimes I take a low dose amphetamine when I'm struggeling with concentration. I also take a low dose (0,7g-1g) Shrooms every other week and just look at nature from my window and maybe right something down. I like to have a clear head when I'm reading something though.

I like reading high on weed. I'm way more in tune with the literature and 'get' it more. The more dryly intellectual and difficult the text is the more I'd rather be high, consequently I do most of my status reading while stoned. Reading for fun also requires me to be high. I only read sober if I have to because it's work or school related. Other drugs do not inspire me to read, just weed

I too am a photographer

Acid is harmless. Coke is the devil.

Welp your post started well enough.

Coffee and cigs (but i quit cigs). Everything else is just too intense and distracting. I wish I still smoked. Reading and smoking was the only thing I enjoyed and now half of it is gone. Why does it have to be so bad for you...

chew coca leaves (no doing coke is not the same thing)

chew coco leaves, you'll thank me later

>"Mistaking feminine passive aggression with an honest question"

>write poetry at on the roof of my building watching the sun rising over manhattan after a night of drinking
>"I'd genuinely consider suicide."

Sometimes I wonder if people wake in the morning, and make a conscious decision to act like this. If you need to work out aggression, buy a punching bag and stop making a faggot out of yourself.

good:
- low dose opiates are really nice for reading
- low dose nmda antagonists (mxe, ketamine) are also great
- benzos help quiet my tinnitus, which is great for reading
- coffee always goes nicely, something about the smell and taste and little to do with the caffeine

bad:
- alcohol just makes me lose focus, always end up going to do something else, and since im an alcoholic if i start drinking i will not stop
- lsd (microdoses) brings back my hppd and makes tinnitus worse. words start moving around a little and its hard to read
- weed kills my desire to read

i read much more when i'm on vyvanse and don't feel as compelled to give into petty distractions

i don't sleep as well and can't relate to people but who cares, right? ahah
