Yes provigil is brand name modafinil. I used to buy the generic indian modafinil brand modalert.

Adrafinil is an earlier version of the drug and different. It is more of a wakefulness-promoting-agent than a stimulent. But it absolutely feels like a stimulant too.

I didn’t want to say it in case they hadn’t thought of it.

I would combo that and adderall if you want to stand up the walking dead for a night.

Best way to describe it is like adderal but weaker and with no crash.

I've used it (it's legal in my country, fite me) and it just makes me more able to focus and more sociable

Shit, I ain't mad at ya, even if it was illegal. As long as a person is not hurting anyone and providing for themselves and their family, I don't care what they choose to consume. I take kratom and some people shit on that

Like cocaine you swallow.

Not a medical doctor, in case you couldn't tell by my description.

I disagree. It is currently used by our military. There are circumstances which it benefits.

I still think a pre-debate drug test is a brilliant idea. Although, I will say that even CBD oils can pop the tests. The ones you buy in grocery stores.

I also worry that people using legally prescribed cannabis may face issues with 2A.

I've never heard of CBD, 'popping the test', and I take a lot of CBD and a lot of drug tests.

I have heard of people smoking grass or the synthetic weed popping hot and blaming it on CBD though.

Umm so if I take Provigil to kill jet lag (i.ow. enhance performance) on a business trip that makes me no different than a junkie?

Fuck You

Yes, except heroin makes you sleep and uppers make you sleep 4 hrs a night. Not saying its good, but a lot of very high functioning people are doing it for not-quite-hardcore necessity.

If you don’t abuse it it’s fine. I take adhd meds and they changed my life, don’t get high from it. but yes if you don’t take breaks once in a while or deal with lost effectiveness rather than raising the dose it can take a bit of down time to come off it. Adderall is especially bad for abuse potential and raising tolerance. It’s not like heroin or alcohol because it makes you better at making decisions if you actually need it and don’t abuse it to get high

People who do meth are up for literally days. Same with crack if they have enough.

What sort of experience do you have with drugs and or addiction? With all due respect, you don't sound like you are terribly qualified to be rendering an opinion.

You are attempting to force two very disparate categories of people into one large box.

Drug addiction can happen to anyone, even you. The worst thing you can do is think you are immune or different than those people, IMO.

The brain plays crazy tricks on itself when it gets addicted to something. We are just now learning the full extent to which the brain can basically motivate itself to give it what it wants. With many substances, like opiates for instance, asking a person to stop that cycle with simple "will power" is not really an option. The brain makes sure of that.

Once you get into the throes of such a disastrous cycle your life can degenerate quickly around you without a personal safety net of support.

I'd be careful about thinking you are any different from these people or any less susceptible to addiction.

You'd also be shocked at the use of amphetamines in the world around you.

Many people you know and interact with may be using these drugs and you would have little to no way of knowing.

Anecdotally, I know the financial sector has adopted its use so widely that many have expressed feelings they are at a disadvantage by not using them. It is that widespread yet still there are many that are completely oblivious to it.

But someone taking Adderall at their job to get ahead and a heroin addict looking to degenerate themselves for their next IV hit are two very different things, IMO.

I don't think I am too good for either to happen to me under the right circumstances, and I don't believe anyone else is either.

But I would save my hate for these people because they will inflict far more damage and retribution upon themselves for their transgressions that you ever could.

There too go I but by the grace of God.
