Do you drink coffee, take adderall or any other stimulant to enhance your reading experience or to read while maintaining focus for a longer amount of time?

For philosophy books it would be good for the critical thinking aspect since adderall is a cognitive enhancer. For fiction it would be pointless, yeah. probably even take away the enjoyment from that

>>11026958
That's the point is to get fucked *up* to where to can see things from a different state of consciousness. Of course afterwards you come down and feel like shit but it's worth it if you made headway while high.


On a side note I drink coffee once a week and take 10-15mg adderall IR a couple times a month, usually for writing essays. But recently I ended up spending most of the duration of the effects reading Nietzsche and found it to be a great experience that allowed me to focus way better and thus acquire better understandings

If you really wanted some, if you have health insurance just tell your doctor you're having trouble focusing in school and he'll prescribe you some. If you didn't like it you could also just sell it considering the street price is many many times higher than what you pay for it with insurance

For writing, always start with a bump of coke and then plenty of boozing so you can maintain the sensation.

I have a problem, a serious problem with coffee. Possibly will get ulcers, or something but otherwise I cannot fucking think, I can't read, and everything comes at me like lightening in a schizophrenic storm. Two to three pots of coffee, 12 cup pots, go through my system but even that isn't enough. I smoke cigarettes incessantly, two to three packs a day as well.

I can't. I'm dirt poor. All I do is write and work a dead end job as a deck hand which makes me smoke more because of the stress.

I drink 2-3 cups of coffee on most days. I also smoke about a pack a day. Cigarettes cost ~$1 in my country though so not a big deal
