Matcha is my favorite work drug. Caffeine is one of my favorite party drugs, especially a Club Mate (or 6, over the whole night from 11 PM to 7 AM in the morning) does the trick. The Wim Hof Method is also an amazing drug (adrenaline). It's all drugs. This just happens to be legal.
Alcohol sucks. Weed isn't great. Truffles (wherever legal), meh, over it.
n = 1, my experience
Meditation does a lot to me. It doen't to others. Aka everyone is different.
I don't recommend drugs either. If you do, make sure you do it at a decriminalized place at least. For me though, every decriminalized thing I've tried has been really helpful. One time I almost wanted to commit suicide (second psilocybin trip), so to say it's not for the faint of heart is a euphenistic understatement. Even that trip showed me I was in a very toxic relationship. To get a life scare was the right response, I'd have gone that way sober as well, what psilocybin did in a day would've taken years when sober (speaking from experience unfortunately).
I have parents, who used to be both addicts. I didn't inherit their addiction, it seems. I do have their genes. It makes me hypothesize that genetic inheritability is less of a factor. I've not been raised by them and because of it my socio-economic-status is completely different. Though, if I look at social media, I'd argue that is my addiction. I think starting late (even with alcohol) and getting a university education really helps. It also helps my social circle is scared of any form of drugs (other than caffeine) and it's hard for me to find a good setting.
I'm in favor of drug legalization over 30.
Wim Hof, meditation, music, running, dancing, dreaming, lucid dreaming (dream journal!) and being sleep deprived
Those are all good analogues for any form of drugs. I'm playing around with starting a startup over this and contributing the money towards comparative research between these states of consciousness versus actual drug states. Feel free to email if you're up for talking about that.
- echelon_musk 3y agoIt was interesting for me to see lucid dreaming and meditation mentioned as I recently finished Alan Wallace's Dreaming Yourself Awake. I have been integrating this quote from Stephen LaBerge: “Dream consciousness is waking consciousness without physical constraints. Waking consciousness is dream consciousness with physical constraints.”
- taopai 3y agoGreat comment. I agree. Dream journal can be pretty wild, after a couple of days I can remember like 5 dreams every night, until I have to stop because It's a lot and it's very intense. Pretty awesome. I would also add hypnosis, self-hypnosis (or also known as non-deceptive mega-placebo). Can be awesome.
- voisin 3y ago> Truffles (wherever legal) Is this a slang term for a drug or are there places where truffles are illegal? I’ve never come across this.
