It's studying time, what energy products do you advise?

[yesno]

So, are there any herbal products still on the market that contain nature's speed?  Or did the Man outlaw them all?  I've noted that certain bottled matte products have the effect of giving me the energy of an 80s comedian.

I used to take Ma Huang for the pleasurable feeling it would give me when I ran my fingernails over my skull, but the FDA had to step in just to prevent a few measly heart attacks.

But now, I need to study the world's most boring material, and I'd like to see how far I can get to making a SEPTA run while staying within the bounds of the law.

just get a prescription for adderall.  it's the best shit ever.

it's the best shit ever.

true story. 

[yesno]

I wish I could.

Being and Nothingness and most of Phil Dick's 1960s pulp novels were written in a benzedrine frenzy.  I've taken sudafed, drunk red bull, and made myself write long, boring papers before.  Very effective.

it's the best shit ever.

true story. 

and usually you don't need a prescription, you can just buy it off some kid.

[yesno]

I'm thinking more along the lines of legal stuff.  I think it might be bad to get hooked on scrips only a few months before I have to take the bar.

On a related note:

Crystal meth:  not bad for everyone

[iAmBaronVonTito]

pretty much, jbissell.  ew boy, i used to be that kid.  



in all seriousness, yesno, espresso shots work for me. 

[gravy boat]

Get the adder now so you are used to it. If you want something now you will definitely want something during bar review.

And the first meth guy -- looks like it cures baldness.

I am in the school library, which is apparently where I live now, so I asked the kids sitting next to me.

math student: "Wake-ups. Just, like, twelve of them at once."
fancy artist chick: "Espresso shots. Just, like, twelve of them at once."
badass tech guy: "Coffee and polyphasic sleep."

There you have it.

[Andy]

the adderall prescription (with health insurance) means 60 pills per month for $10

It's probably not as dramatic as you're hoping for, but ginseng has anti-stress, energizing, and focus-improving effects.

And the first meth guy -- looks like it cures baldness.

And it turned the top-right girl into Sideshow Bob. What the hell?

Whatever you do, don't masturbate.  Makes you distracted, irritable, and lazy for like 4 hours afterwards.  Trust me, I know from experience.

[Sarah]

So I'm a polyphasic sleeper!  I feel so much better now that I have a label.
