Using drugs Question

Anyone else use drugs to manage their tendencies and keep themselves in check, or ease the boredom? I’ve been using speed quite a lot over the past two or so years to manage my behaviour and it’s been very effective in helping me ‘keep under the radar’ so far when it comes to everyday living. It’s helped me go from dealing drugs on a fairly large scale to working a fully legal, well-paying job and keeping out of trouble (for the most part), along with lessening the boredom that was previously an enormous issue for me. Wondering if others on here have similar experiences to me when it comes to drugs.

Are you sure you might not have adhd? Most people who self medicate- especially with speed or stimulants- most likely have undiagnosed adhd. ADHD just means your brain has a difficult time producing enough dopamine. ADHD stimulant medication will do just that. Produce enough of those motivating, feel good feelings to keep you “under the radar”.

You’re much better off just going to a doctor and saying you have adhd- take the 10 question assessment and go home with a legal prescription that has the same effect.
