I don't know whether this topic is relevant enough to /lit/, but might be interesting to discuss.
What does /lit/ use to help them read/write more and better?
I mainly use cigarettes, vape, coffee and tea. Pretty standard really.
Lately I have been trying out some kratom. Mostly white sumatra and green malay in portions of 4-6g with some redosing 1-2g after 1-2 hours. It works pretty well I must say. It has a slight opiate effect (so you feel warm and fuzzy) and at lower doses also a nice mental stimulating effect. Feels pretty good if you have to work 10+ hours on something and feel backpain and such.
Tried to work a few times on assignments with some alcohol but that just doesn't work for me.
So anybody here using uppers or downers? Combinations? For what tasks? Formal texts? Creative writing?

coffee + weed + some nootropics, other drugs are not necessary
Get your appropriate rest, read what intrests you, use the tangerine technique, and take incremental breaks every half or so. Best way to learn and comprehend anything.
I've tried most classes of drugs; some might give you inspiration for various sorts of writing but really the best way to go about it is >>7429484 but perhaps with the right mix of nootropics (not including modafinil) for you. Eating well is also important.

is this why I always liked to read a book during lectures in school?
Here is some solid advice. Take amphetamine, snort it, and you'll do wonders. As to coming down unrestlessness and general lack of sleep, smoke small quantities of weed to guide you to sleep.
If you are Eastern European, speed should be easy to attain. You could try shooting it up, but that has a high chance of health problems and addiction.

It has been found that most people do it subconsciously so most likely yes

That might work for a few days, but I bet after a while you will burn and crash or must really take good care of yourself and use some clean, pharma grade stuff in very small quantities.

Just searched for the Tangerine Technique. Looks good.
I have noticed that website like 4chan usually fuck up my concentration for a long time. So this might help to get your brain calm when you need to get working again.
Sleeping is always solid advice in the long term.
Short term if I need to get shit done I get really sharp with 5-6 hours of sleep and staying a bit hungry and some strong coffee and ofc cigarettes.

Modafinil is pretty much god-tier when used occasionally. Almost no euphoria. Laser focus when reading, it's like there are no distractions anymore.

I can't do shit when I smoked weed. Makes me too lazy. I read some people get more focused though. Do you?

What kind of opiates did you take?
Kratom targets the mu opioid-receptors, which makes it less addictive. No hangover and almost zero withdrawal (only if you use A LOT over a very long period).

You're not supposed to take speed daily as you won't probably write daily anyways. Pharma quality speed is a meme, good luck trying to acquire some unless you're chemist or got a recipe for that shit.
You'll coward can't handle the speed what up with dat
>>7429635
To add, if you don't compulsively take care of yourself ( shave, bathe, exercise etc. ) under speed, you're probably an ADHD subhuman.

I meant to say kraton targets delta opioid receptors. Not mu, thats the actual receptor for heroin and opium.
