If you’re into ADHD meds and you drink, read my experience lol ok so i have this friend, we will call him david. he was prescribed this new heavy duty ADHD prescription medication called focalin. david did all the research and found out that a lot of people are using it to get high in many forms - oral route (the way it's usually prescribed); vacuum nose; free basing. he prefers the vacuum nose technique and even after using it for a high for several months, it still provides the same effects as the first time - sort of like pot. when he uses it in the morning before work, he says he can go hours at work without eating and nonstop working. he is more cheerful and friendlier towards his customers and has even been given giftcards to his place of work for being that friendly.
sometimes he likes to come home after a hard day's work and have a beer or 2. but he cannot just have some beer - he needs to feel as good as he did that morning so he sniffs some more of his meds and thus begins drinking more because he cannot feel drunk. david drank an 18 pk of beer one saturday night and did not feel drunk whatsoever because he sniffed some focalin. the only reason he knew he was drunk the night before and not feeling it is the next morning he wakes up with a bad hangover. the hangover is not just the beer either, it's coming down from the focalin as well.
david told me all of this so that i can warn the rest of you, lol, that if you decide to drink and combine ADHD meds - you will not feel drunk. trust david.
Injection rooms for addicts to open next year in drug law change, says Minister Looks like the farcical blanket ban they imposed in Ireland has wiped out all forms of drug use so the Irish can now afford to provide shooting galleries for those who need to inject caffeine rather than wait for the kettle to boil or something.

Boyfriend likes Ecstasy Hey! I wanted your advice on something, I'm not into drugs at all really and I don't have much experience here.
Bascially, when I started dating the bf, he told me he used ecstasy in the past a lot but wasn't using it anymore really and over the following year, always implied to me it wasn't something he'd do anymore. Anyway one night he went out and didn't come home till morning, he was very vague about the night and I suspected he did E, I asked and he said he did.
This panicked me because I'm very unfamiliar with it, and I'm also admitably very sheltered, I was scared that it could hurt him. We kind of agreed that him doing it only 3/4 times per year would be ok but then later when he went home I sent a message to him saying "Hey about earlier, when you use the ecstasy it causes me a lot of anxiety and stresses me out because I care about you a lot, it's important for me that you don't do it again, I hope that's ok", then he said he'd stop and I felt guilty for almost forcing his hand here and I backtrakced and said doing it 3/4 times per year would be ok, and he still said he'd stop.
Bascially - I'd love your opinions here, obviously you're all mostly going to be pro-E, but yeah I'm just trying to understand his perspective on it all, do you think I'm being reasonable? do you think I handled the situation well? is it wrong of me to ask him to stop?
I did suggest to him I could try it but he said no because "it could hurt you"
Thank you!
Super Weird Reaction to Weed So around two months ago I got high with a friend and had the scariest experience of my life. This wasn't the first time I had smoked, I'd say i've smoked around ten times casually over the past couple of years. The biggest reaction I've ever had to it was just feeling quite buzzy but good and other than that I've always felt chill and just kind of heavy.
But again I've always felt good. Anyway I was smoking with my friend and we were just laughing and messing around and I was feeling good and thought that a couple more puffs would get me on a good level (we were smoking from a pipe) and I can't really explain it but I felt like I left my body and then suddenly came back into it. I dropped the pipe and watched the embers just burning on my bed but I couldn't quite comprehend what was happening. I told my friend that I wasn't in my body and started to have a massive panic attack, my heart was beating so fast and I was struggling to breathe.
She managed to calm me down and I was breathing normal but I felt like everything was happening twice and I told my friend that I was moving between two parallel universes. I felt like I was going to die and I needed to go to hospital but she talked me out of it. I spent the rest of the night just lying in bed, super paranoid. I couldn't control my muscles and I was twitching and shivering. I also saw shadows rising from the end of the bed and heaps of other weird stuff. I convinced myself that when I woke up it would have stopped and it was just the effects of the weed because I had smoked so much, so I managed to get to sleep. I woke the next day feeling normal but as soon as I stood up I had the feeling that nothing was really and everything was repeating, and I was struggling to talk. I also was super paranoid. This lasted for 3 days and nearly drove me insane because I thought it would be permanent but it wore off slowly but came back in episodes. After a week I felt more like myself and I felt I was over it and swore off weed. Ever since though I get the similar feeling that nothing is real when I'm really tired, or have just woken up and alcohol definitely has a stronger effect on me, to the point to where one drink makes me feel a bit trippy and I feel drunk for days.
I also have moments where I just zone out and don't realise until I kind of become aware again. For the most part though I feel normal. Has anyone had anything similar happen to them? And does anyone know why this could have happened to me? The weed was definitely not laced as my friend had been smoking from the same bag with other people and no one had the same reaction as me.
