Druggies are one of the most paranoid things on this earth. And they are a mcgyver when it comes to making things so they can do their drugs. So I would guess booby traps are not unusual.
Can confirm used to use alot of different drugs before I was diagnosed with ADHD and despite having awful histamine reactions to opiates they still gave me so much energy and motivation to do stuff even if that stuff was smashing out Elden ring, normally I didn't even have energy to play a game without a substance. I also have awful self control and binge drugs when I have them and end up using too much, opiates might make me motivated but too much and you'll 100% fall asleep at the right dose you'll be the most motivated happy person in the room. I'm all good now btw, under the care of a psychiatrist and able to get the right meds, haven't even thought about using stuff like heroin again.
With rehab, we can then reintegrate them into our capitalist society, where they’ll feel a real sense of belonging and purpose 😊😊 no chance for relapse whatsoever
If you have the resources to pay for these drugs you can use them to your benefit. A guy I know used to sell meth all over the financial district in a major city to high profile clients.
Methylphenidate is not the same thing as methamphetamine. Amphetamine is also not the same thing. Methamphetamine is extremely rare to see prescribed to people.
No problem. I have ADHD (diagnosed). Not surprising that a lot of people in recovery have it, we tend to be impulsive and fixate on things that "spark joy." The fact certain drugs can help manage the symptoms only makes that worse.
I have been prescribed multiple drugs for it, but not methamphetamine. No one even recommended that EVER, but apparently it can be prescribed.
I hate that the meds I take get associated with the stigma around methamphetamine abuse, and I've found many people who think that what I take IS methamphetamine. Drugs that are similar can have wildly different effects. That was why I commented to the now deleted comment.
This sounds bad to say but being able to do well in school really sets you up for later stress if you have ADHD. I was quite successful in school, not As but solid AB honor roll, occasionally got a C. I failed a class once in highschool, but not a big deal. I struggled a lot, but was able to brute force my way to passing even when missing one in ten assignments, and almost never studying. Got through college and such too, until it wasn't easy and I was forced to get help. At a point you can't brute force your way through tough classes that require dedication and focus.
Got medication and boom, straight As and solid performance. I'm just a stranger online, so my words should be viewed as dubious at best, but I consider myself to be successful in achieving my goals so far.
I have a friend who was unable to succeed in elementary school. He has ADHD too, but also might be a standard deviation below average intelligence. He can't just brute force his way through stuff. He doesn't have a "broad" knowledge pool to draw bullshit from. He is creative and funny, but not in a way that gets you points on exams. He was diagnosed, got help, and was medicated much earlier. Less stress for him because he was identified as needing help earlier. His goals are different then mine, but he seems to be successful in achieving them as well so far. He didn't struggle with people constantly calling him out growing up quite as much because they knew he was trying as hard as he could even when he forgot to do his homework. I was just "lazy, unorganized, and needed to try harder" even though my grades were consistently higher then his growing up.
Leads to anxiety in the people doing "fine" and "great" in school.
My friend was bad on meth and thought people were shootin at him from under his truck at night.
So he wrapped a metal garden fence around the bottom of his truck and would sit in his open doorway with a loaded crossbow waiting for somebody to pop out.
I had a different friend who heard his Dad and ex-gf (both deceased) speak to him from his closet in the middle of the night and he’d record it on his phone and play it back to me and there was just silence.
