Correct tense is "gives", I dare say.
It used to be amphetamines, barbiturates and morphine.
Now it's modafinil, zolpidem or similar, and various opiates.
I do like the newer stuff better :)
Diacetylmorphine has been an instant fucking hit since bayer put it
on the market 100+ years ago. *Shudders*...

I mostly get off on thinking, and doing stuff. So it's stimulants that I like. And I prefer ones that don't cause anxiety and other craziness.
But I do need to sleep, and sometimes I need help with that. And sometimes there is pain, and I need help with that. However, being zoned out on downers has never appealed. I'd rather just sleep.
When you've built a tolerance and don't fall out in a nod, opiates can be extremely stimulating .... I've had 8 hour bouts of creativity from opiate high more times than I can count, hacking code, pursuing intellectual interests, etc.... Of course the caveat here is the looming threat of addiction. Then again, methamphetamine will give a similar stimulating experience, even more focused, for 24 hours+.... but the accompanying crash is awful IMO, and it sometimes gives me unwanted anxiety. I stick to marijuana these days. ;) John -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQFBBAEBCgArJBxrZXliYXNlLmlvL25peGVuIDxuaXhlbkBrZXliYXNlLmlvPgUC V4N4uwAKCRDjJCC+1Hp4x6RoCACpQog1C0/qAc5+YUIIRgUsgxPT+/PiLZMUlG5y oRmg/Ei7aRXJQgE/J0nOtdB1SkPRp8TCp4lAgimuSNi/B5IDfWgMKwzMWia9vZ5t VDhHfZsj6SVY5lbeqa9p2/mBHy0QjgGmFuI+JvU2iTVlYPRbJBeqmiqz8akPvrHR MQQOZkG7K9RkDwUTiPLDKeBd7WiqnrBm+5cJmsPl36eJg4qGV2Yz20zjMPTTJlgF dq+oqH0CQxx1X+w4ZH2jVqlOal7IjRZGDj7u4MoClROxj0cSa3lltp7bMNRQptOg srN9Bh/vKHKFHlZH6g6X25x0cZmvC6R1MXaqtl4L83bjVTrS =rjbV -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
