I can't focus when I'm drunk or high. When I tried to read on acid all of the letters wriggled away.

Coffee is the only substance that seems to help my reading. I guess amphets would be cool.

weed and reading is awesome especially with a big masterpiece like war & peace or 2666

Shit's overrated IMO. While you feel motivated, it's way too easy to get distracted by just about anything else. Amphs only intensify the desire to not do yr work.

That's only on higher doses. It's so easy to go overboard while smoking meth though, but a lower 20mg addy is perfect for studying. Hell, maybe even 10mg IR.

I always drink a few beers before reading or writing. Not enough to get drunk, just to loosen up.

>>5928706
What doses were you taking? But yeah, that is pretty common.

Unless you know you have a specific taste of AMPs and addiction potential, the negative hype for Meth is really overstated, it's 'just' a stronger, more intense Addy. It's worth trying I think.

I never had any desire to read when I used to do drugs. I much prefer listening to music, watching movies, or talking to people. I do like drinking a coffee while/before I sit down with a book but it doesn't do much to combat drowsiness.

>> No.5929021

Listen noobs the trick is not to be TOO high/drunk when you read. If you cant pay attention to the book then you've gone too far and you're just wasting valuable high time. Better off playing a game or watching a movie if youre that fucked up

Can't focus when drunk, I enjoy reading after smoking marijuana if it isn't exceptionally dense, read while tripping for the first time when I last ate acid, really enjoyed looking through an illustrated book about different horse breeds and read almost all of Vonnegut's Timequake.

>> No.5929129

>>5929122

What did you think of Timequake?
I think it is easily the worst Vonnegut I've ever read. Maybe I was missing something or not properly appreciating it. Might give it another read but I remember thinking at the time that it was terribly underwhelming.

Depressed neurotic, but i have been a depressed neur- a neurotic depressed for many years but this summer suddenly weed made my mind go crazy. Smoking really just a tiny bit, 1/5th of a joint gets me extremely high, normally i used to smoke a pure joint by myself. No idea why things changed like that.

Back when I used drugs I used to cut up Fentanyl patches in strips and put them in between my gums and cheek or do some oxy 80s or a few bags of heroin and the shit would keep me awake for days. I would read the whole time. It was amazing how much I could absorb with no fatigue. I miss it sometimes.

Fuck, man. The same thing happened to me and I've replaced weed with alcohol instead, which frankly is a horrible choice.

The problem with not getting TOO high to read for me is that one hit is too high for me.

I'm not an inexperienced smoker, either. I've been sober for about a month for job related reasons, but at the height of my smoking (I started tapering down from this about a year ago) my roommate and I were going through a half ounce about once every week. Not huge weight, but not small.

A couple times, while my tolerance was at its highest, I tried just taking one or two hits and reading. Now, at one or two hits, someone with my tolerance feels pretty much 'normal.'

Still couldn't do it. Just could not retain the information. Shit sucked. Every once in a while I read short stories when I was beyond baked, just because it was fun finishing it any having no idea what happened.

>I could actually understand Gravity's Rainbow high
For me it was good and bad reading that while high. It just worked out that I read some of that novel high while Slothrop was smoking hash with Saüre and it felt like Pynchon was probably high while writing it too and it was awesome. But for some of the other episodes, it just isn't a good combination, because I would just miss a lot of what's going on.
