Same thing with weed for me. I vape it and then I can actually sit down and finish a task, have a conversation without my mind wandering or go outside without anxiety. I do have the double whammy of AuDHD tho.

Which strain are you using?

For me it's a double edged sword. Sometimes I finally motivate myself to do some creative project I have been procrastinating, and other times I just get couchlocked or get munchies.

I know I cannot tolerate too much THC without balance with CBD, then I occasionally get the anxious ride. Too much CBD and it's pure relaxation, too much THC and my mind is racing on associative overdrive.

Wish I had a strain and dosage that would have a reliable "therapeutic" effect for focus and motivation.

I have my meds and it's great but I don't like being dependent on a highly controlled substance and regularly go visit some doctor, if I had weed that is close enough.. but I guess if it would exist, somebody would already push it as a treatment option already.

But I totally agree with being able to actually listen on weed. I listen attentively to my wife, or TV shows, or music. Life ist rushing by so fast, being fully immersed in the present for a while is a blessing.

It's called Big Purple Dragon. Hope you'll find your strain :]

Mine made me high, either too much or I’m not ADHD lol

[-] Canonical_Warlock@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 6 days ago

Euphoria is a very common start up side effect of adderall that should go away after a few weeks. It's like antidepressant startup sideeffects except this one happens to be pleasant. It could have just been that.

[-] thedeadwalking4242@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

Lasted years it actually kinda messed me up a lil. Should have realized it was wrong and stopped but I liked it too much

[-] Canonical_Warlock@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 days ago

Seriously though. The first time I took adderall I went and took the best nap of my life.

[-] WhiteRabbit@lemmy.today 32 points 1 week ago

Ditto for nicotine, caffeine, cocaine…

The breakfast of champions.

I only have lucid dreams when sleeping on cocaine.

edit: i used to pinch myself to make sure i was dreaming. if the pinch didn't hurt I would have fun in my dreams

[-] lesnout27@feddit.org 1 points 6 days ago

I did that with a slap in the face, but it did hurt in the dream. My way of finding out is reaching through a wall, works better for me

[-] Canonical_Warlock@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 6 days ago

My tell is being able to continuously double jump and thus jankilly fly.

Coffee knocks me out. Between the warmth and the actual ADHD relief, it is very hard to keep my eyes open.

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 week ago

Last time I did blow, it made me soooo hungry and sleepy. A few more bumps took care of the sleepy, but the first couple were roouuugh.

[-] WhiteRabbit@lemmy.today 10 points 1 week ago

Yeah I’ve only done it once out of curiosity lol. 1st line did nothing so I tried another — same thing. Meanwhile I could see how elevated it made other people (was at a party). Eventually I got tired and fell asleep.

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 week ago

Fair hahaha. I like it well enough if I’m drinking. I thought I didn’t like it but the stuff I had in the past was absolute garbage. Now I have unlimited access to decently priced extremely pure stuff (I have purity tests and hooo boi does it check out) and doing a couple bumps definitely feels a way! It doesn’t make me get as gakked as my more neurotypical friends, but I like the numbness and dopamine.

One is not like the other...

[-] flicker@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 week ago

They are for some people with ADHD!

[-] lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I meant...

Nicotine: Not good to recommend it, but legal in most countries.
Caffeine: Fine to recommend it, perfectly legal just about everywhere.
Cocaine: 🚨

[-] prole 1 points 6 days ago

Nicotine (not cigarettes) actually has neuroprotective effects. It's also been shown to have positive cognitive effects on people with schizophrenia.

[-] flicker@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 week ago

Oh. I just figured they were all stimulants. And also I'm an anarchist so my concern for someone taking illegal drugs is independent of their legality.

[-] 01189998819991197253@infosec.pub 25 points 1 week ago

Imagine trying to party, and feeling perfectly normal, calm, and even tired, while everyone else is tripping balls.

What was your tell? Lol

[-] jimmux@programming.dev 8 points 6 days ago

At a music festival, actually able to listen to a complete song without my mind wandering... is this why people take stimulants?

[-] 01189998819991197253@infosec.pub 5 points 6 days ago

We feel neurotypicalish with stims. But neuros feel wired, almost high, with them. We got the short stick in may ways, and the long stick in other, harder to find ways...

[-] jimmux@programming.dev 8 points 6 days ago

I didn't know that at the time, pre-diagnosis, but it's so obvious now.

Cocaine makes absolutely no sense to me. Are you having a good time, letting loose and getting relaxed with friends while enjoying a few beverages? Here, take this substance that will make you disturbingly sober. Everything is clear, level, and so very normal. Fun huh?
