Weed -> Nootropics

Hey there, Друг! I'm starting my stoner-free life (don't want to give up on other stuff for now, as I don't use anything else that much, frankly) and was wondering if there are any beginner nootropics stacks that you can advise me to try? I want to help my mind stay focused, maybe spark a little motivational/interest boost, just generally being able to create stronger memory bonds and stuff. I don't want my drugs to be too pricey since I'm not really used to taking drugs regularly (besides weed). I don't feel like spending a lot of cash for something that might not be actually doing a thing but can afford anything that worths it. Any advice would be highly appreciated.

Exercise

>>2744 This. >>2645 Get also some modafinl, methylphenidate and amphetamine and start experimenting what works for you.

exercise, coffee, and determination.

>>2745 seconding moda, disagreeing with meth (!!!wtf!!!), decide for yourself on amphetamins as those can be just as bad as meth. Would like to add noopept and the many *-racetams (piracetam being the chief one here). Do not expect any big effects from the latter two and certainly not immediately. It will be at best a slight, gradual improvement which may or may not be placebo in nature. Modafinil is kinda interesting: You do not feel its effect as you feel more the absence of stuff, namely fatigue. Coffee makes you feel "awake". Moda does not. From personal experience: It is false that it replaces a good night's sleep. At best it can help you manage the effects of an all-nighter. Other stuff you might want to try: Fishoil (omega-3 is nice for heart and brain), Vinpocetine, ginko, lecitine, zinc, B-* vitamins (available in every good energy drink).

>>2751 Methylphenidate is the active ingredient in ritalin and concerta. Also methamphetamine is just a long lasting extra serotonergic version of amphetamine. It isn't as harmful as people make it to be. I'm not saying you should do it though... It is pretty neurotoxic in higher doses and it has been reported to be as addictive as nicotine.

>>2751 Aren't you supposed to use Modafinil with caffeine, though?

>>2761 Nope I mean you could but you would just get pretty jittery. I've only done 200mg of caffeine + 200mg of modafinil once. It kinda felt like a low key caffeine OD. I've never experimented with lower doses though.

I would recomend CBD oil, I'm quite liking it so far. I know you might be doubtful if you're trying to quit weed but I did the same thing and found that without the overwhelming thc stonedness, cbd is just giving me a little bit of subtle anxiety relief whithout really effecting me in any other way. I honestly thought it was some new age bullsoykaf but it seems to work (i mean it could be a placebo and I have no way of proving that it isn't but this is just anecdotal). Also this might sound dumb, but eat oily fish. It's tastier than suppliments and good for ya brain!

Meth is directly neurotoxic to dopamine and serotonin receptors. More importantly its insanely addictive and if you havent known addiction before you will after. Id liken it to unprotected sex, you might be fine but you might not. Even adderall id say is risky. Chances are you will end up doing more than you planned and the pleasure you get from it will become the goal of life rather than whatever you are using these stacks for.

>>2769 to add on sorry go look at these drugs affect on your dopamine receptors, your brains reward system, compared to other drugs and activities. Yes you might be able to overcome it, but look at just how high some of that soykaf is compared to other everyday things. Think you can handle it?

You could go for the usual l-theanine and caffeine stack. Although I have never tried l-theanine myself, I have heard pretty good stuff about it and also plan on buying it soon. I am going to start with 100mg caffeine and 200mg l-theanine two times a day (morning and mid-day), which should give you quite a mental boost. It isn't that costly ether. 100mg of caffeine should be approximately one cup of coffee and you can buy l-theanine for around 30$ per 100g.
