To be honest, I've been mucking around with the chemistry involved in purifying street-bought stimulants, and it can be beneficial in a variety of ways. Believe it or not, a lot of the negative health effects of such drugs come from the stuff used to cut it.
I may even have a go at making it myself, and then purifying that.
It really does feel like a totally different high when you clean it right (anhydrous acetone, methanol-enhancement, acid-base extraction, etc).
Getting any stimulant prescribed is like winning the damn lottery. I just never expect it to happen.
I feel it's a better use of my time (and more fun, actually!) to learn how to make my own drugs. -

For one thing, sex work isn't all it's cracked up to be. I was living with an escort for a while and saw all the downsides and bullshit to it.
Second, you have to be in like the top 99.999% of men in terms of attractiveness in order to have sexual market value.
Sure, I like sex, but I like to keep it separate from my vocation. -

thats my usual response when people saw me performing my hobbies like woodworking or while i was doing my bikes and car or house wiring etc etc.
they'd say if i enjoy doing X so much why dont i become X-ist ? and id tell them i enjoy sex too, so should i become a prostitute.
that usually ends the conversation. -

I've been (SWIM's been... do we still do that around here) tinkering with different impurity washing techniques, and trying to minimize the negative health effects (i.e. Taking magnesium, zinc, etc).
I know I'm not making it 100% okay, just marginally more responsible.
And I'm hoping to transition off of this habit because any drug-habit is going to eat away at your mind.
And of course, that is antithetical to the thesis of this very thread. -

Exposing ourselves to novel stimuli increases chances of making connections between concepts that others might not see.
Therefore, I am going to try to expose myself to new things (blog posts, youtube videos, environments, people, etc) every single day. -

Novel concept.
Id suggest you utilize different devices for the different subjects. -

Well the general idea is to expose yourself to new concepts in order to expand your neural networks and create deeper and stronger interconnections.
But "concepts" is such a general term, and can encompass a lot.
The red color of a rose is a concept (visual concept: red).
The shape of the rose is a concept (visual concept: shape).
The fact that it is identifiable as a rose is a concept (phylogenetic concept: plant ==> flower ==> rose).
The smell of the rose is a concept (olfaction concept: rose scent).
The geographic location of the rose (spatial concept: geographical location).
Etc, etc, etc... -
