I have never understood the drug thing since I remember how much being on high doses of ketamine and dilaudid sucked. Experiencing that recreationally seems like a bad time.

I used to feel this way because I disliked weed, alcohol, and benzodiazepines like Xanax (I don't like the feeling of not being able to think clearly). But I was not prepared for opioids to feel identical to "the way you feel after having a great work-out." From what I understand, some people also just react differently to opiates (likely due to genetics or something) - some people react like me, while others just become sort of sleepy/nauseated on them. The fact that I've never felt remotely nauseated on opiates makes me inclined to think there's some significant genetic/biological difference involved.

I was literally addicted to cardio exercise before finding opiates - exercise was basically my "gateway drug." Late into college I basically had to go and do 45-60 minutes of cardio just to be able to relax at night (I didn't use opiates until after graduating).

The only other non-opiate drugs I've ever enjoyed were the stimulants (Ritalin and Adderall, each for a month or two) I was briefly prescribed for ADD back in my early 20s (which, similar to opiates, didn't negatively interfere with my ability to think). But I never really had a propensity to get addicted to them, because I valued sleep too much to take them late into the day (and generally disliked the sort of "burnt out" feel like I got if I kept them in my system for too long, so I was never willing to take them after school/work hours).

TCC has a long and storied history of getting addicted to Kratom full spectrum tincture, which I took once and was easily the most hosed up I've been on opiates. now you can buy all sorts of extracts at the gas station which seems not great, that shits nasty.

Yeah, "normal" kratom extract, that isn't cut with something else, basically just has the exact same effect as normal kratom, only you need to take less (and due to the increased strength, it's easier to have too much, which just kinda sucks and makes you feel loopy and unpleasant- it's why kratom by itself isn't too dangerous, since anything over a very low cap just makes you feel crappy).

FST (just from that one source, or other sources that obviously bought theirs from them) very obviously had something different going on with it. IIRC people actually proved at some point that it was being cut with something.

I don't think we're that different personality-wise from what you said, so it must be a genetic thing, as you suggest.

You cannot vote Hillary Clinton because she is worse than Trump.

Ben is awesome and I'm very glad he's in China. I really hope he interviews a lot of Chinese intellectuals. So much insight can be discovered by Ben
