I put my head down at 7:30pm last night... I wanted to make sure that if I got up super-early to give my youngest his asthma medicine, I wouldn't be walking around looking like I just came off a 72-hour speed run. Smart Richie! Good boy!
Actually, I've never done speed of any kind. Back in my teens and twenties, I was about 379% more energetic than I am now... and I'm pretty damn peppy as it is. Also, I was radically unhealthy: my standing pulse rate at age 20 was 108. And my blood pressure was once measured at 170 over 120. You know the saying "speed kills?" Well, in my case, it would have... right away.
My friends used to give me bong hits for my birthday, just to calm me down.
Drugs I have tried: Mescaline, LSD, THC, Psylocibine (sp?) Mushrooms, Alcohol, Nicotine, Caffeine.
Drugs I have tried in the last 12 years: Alcohol, THC, Nicotine, Caffeine.
Drugs I have tried in the last few years: Caffeine.
Funny: I had no intention of spelling out my drug history in this post. But now you know. Hope we can still be friends.
Love to all. Even you, the folks who might need to give up some things they don't want to give up. Yet.

This is unacceptable. Shame on you, Richie!
If you had done Coke, and had a lower GPA you might have had a chance at running for president.
I never did anything I wasn't supposed to as a kid. Now that I'm adult ADHD, I get to do speed to my heart's content.
Um, but it has a medicinal name/quality to it. And man is it fabulous. Better than half a pot of Sumatra.
Well, okay, not better... but zippier, for sure.
