Post-masturbation

You're right, I don't smoke it enough to know one way or another (in fact, I've never smoked it, and have only gotten high from it once - and probably not even completely -  from playing Madden with a couple of old work friends who were smoking it like crazy in a small, enclosed room). I'm not technically against it (now), but I don't want to deal with the possible (even if minor) risk, I know it irritates people with Asthma, which I have, plus I have other lung issues.

I've have enough personal friends that have used it in the past to have a pretty good idea what tends to happen to you when you use it regularly, and it's not desirable for me.

There are some potential issues with ADD meds, and I'm not going to take them without a psychiatrist approving them (or perhaps they'll suggest something different even), but it's also possible that they'll help me out a lot, as they've helped quite a few other people. I think I am going to lose some weight before I pursue it, though.

The sudden death thing is very scary, but at the same time it's happened to so few people and so many people take these drugs every day the risk is about the same as getting hit by lightning (or even less), and they've even said that it's about the same amount as would have died without treatment anyway over that period of time, so it's not really worth worrying about. I put myself at a many magnitudes higher risk of death every time I get in my car.

I'm not worried about they're addictiveness. I know they're habit forming, but so is caffeine, and I've seen people stop using these pills without going through crazy withdrawals (in fact, my brother often doesn't even take the pills over the weekends). If I go 12 hours without caffeine I get headaches, but even that I can quit with just a lazy weekend and a lot of sleep, and I've done so many times.

But there's a reason I keep coming back to it, and it's because it's a useful mind-altering substance, that keeps me alert when I really shouldn't be, and taking pills for concentration might allow me to concentrate when I normally wouldn't.

[LeekClock]

I think Leek doesn't want to use anything thats purpose is to chemically alter your mood.

I just don't want to fuck up my lungs etc.

[Il Duce]

Bike somewhere with a water fountain or stream. The biking gets you tired and then you just relax and listen to the water.

[peyoteclock]

you can get lots of shit done while high on weed.

also i can't think of anything more relaxing than the extreme paranoia that comes with amphetamine psychosis.

[PsychonautClock]

Although already stated, meditation is the shit.
