Why has my disagreement with you got you so heated?

Edit: Moreso, my disagreement with you has caused you to search all my posts and post pictures of me? That's a bit extreme no?

Wait is this a general response to stimulants? I know that you treat ADHD with them but I thought it was more specific than that.

For some it seems its fairly common since caffeine increases dopamine but studies are mixed. Works for me though! Actually necking a double espresso at lunchtime completely stops my lisdexamfetamine crash. I always thought it was weird that coffee never stopped me sleeping.

Huh, i wonder if that explains my lackluster response to stimulants, I try to avoid them before bed but I've never really noticed much difference. Black coffee maybe works but that might just be because it's like being slapped in the olfactory system.

I'm giving final meter readings to my recently deceased energy supplier. My new supplier deal will be at the price cap but probably more expensive than the old, so hypothetically it would be in my interest to inflate the meter readings a bit wouldn't it?

Black coffee still works to wake me up because its a huge slam of flavour and scent. Plus it still binds to your adenosine receptors to curb tiredness.

I guess it still sorta does that in the evening but since it also calms me down and reduces all the input overload its easier to sleep.

I got my first tattoo on the 12th and it's just beginning to itch so anything to draw my mind off that.

They might ask for photographs of the meter. And getting caught carries a prison sentence, so I wouldn't advise it.

These can be really hard to take. My meter requires me to stand on a stool, it's digital, and I have to hold open a flap and shine a torch while trying to take a photo of a digital meter reading. Most of the other people in my block are completely unable to read their meters because they are short, elderly and can't stand on stools, and don't have cameras/phones with cameras. One person asked if I would mind going to read her meter so I went round and then she said 'no, I've changed my mind, the buggers should come and read them themselves'.

Anyway, 'the industry' has accepted my change of supplier readings that I gave and haven't asked to see photos!

On the subject of weed, I'm 4.5 months into being a legal user, and now have 8 strains currently prescribed.

Not once have I been asked to show anyone proof that I'm legal, they've just taken my word at face value. This is an observation that's been observed by many other legal users too, and one that needs to be passed on ;)

Huh, I didn't know they had legalized it for medical use, I thought it was just the weird CBD oil poo poo that I spilled a bottle of on myself at work and felt blessed because the stuff is loving expensive but it might as well have been olive oil for all the effect it had.

It's been legal for a while, though for some reason people don't like to talk about it (i.e. I was banned from discussing the legal cannabis options on the UKMT discord server, but it was ok to talk about black market stuff because.....reasons....).

I legally wake and vape until bedtime, starting with sativas in the morning (Currently Lemon Skunk and Moby Dick). then switching to balanced strains for the daytime (Cairo and Critical Mass) before switching to pure indicas for the evening (Hindu Kush, MVA and Candy Kush). I have two new strains that have just been prescribed (Ghost Train Haze and Headband) that are sativa doms, but I've yet to get them in my hands.

Price wise, it's not much different to the black market. I had to pay an initial £100 consultation fee, and have to pay £50 for a follow-up every three months, but some of the strains are £5/g, which is half the price of street weed. Other strains can cost up to £13.75/g, but there are various schemes such as Project T21 to help keep prices down for some.

LOL, it's a multi-million potentially billion pound a year business that Canadian VC's bribed a fortune to monopolise, to the point of buying the media, politicians and even a long running Coronation Street storyline.

They aren't going to suddenly pull up the rug of their cash cow because someone is lying about having legal cannabis.
