RE: Marijuana And Motivation - The Alchemist's Quest

Nice on CG, you basically told the story of my life as well :)
My experience with nootropics is limited to modafinil and piracetam. I was experimenting heavily with it when I was still living in Europe. I, too, burned up on it. I was uberproductive yeah, but I also felt something was missing. And guess what, the 4-hour workweek changed my life as well :)

I also had my first joint at 13. But I never stopped smoking the sweet mary jane, although I was planning on doing it when I moved to SE-Asia. But then I arrived here and noticed the quality was pretty good and the price less than one tenth of the price in Europe. So yeah, I'm still smoking every day. :)

I ditched the nootropics though. I still take a piracetam from time to time, especially when I'm working on big projects or have to do presentations. But I found a good work/life balance that allows me to take more time off. So I don't feel the need to be a high achiever anymore. Although I got some big projects on the horizon that might make me grab the nootropics again though.

Good story mate, thanks for a nice read!

Hey nice one Menta,

I'm very interested to hear about your experiences, I have been thinking about piracetam for awhile now; I think the short effect time has been putting me off. Did you like it as much as Modafinil?

As far as smoking in SE-Asia, I don't know whereabouts you are, but I hear they're pretty drachonian over there when it comes to weed. A friend of mine lived in KL for a few years and it sounded like you were risking jail and/or execution every time you traveled with weed on you.

I'm glad you found that work/life balance, I'm slowly getting there; though I get addicted to throwing myself into projects, that's why Steemit has been so good for me; I have to keep reminding myself that I have a family and quite enjoy seeing them now and again! :-)

I hope we can chat again soon, it's always good to connect with people on the same wavelength :-D
