Yeah, I've studied addiction at length. Fascinating how it hijacks the brain's reward centre. But totally devastating to our primitive monkey brains.

Look at the cover of any given Expendables film. It's a long amount of not very convincing underlayed with a lot of ooh and ow. Eric Roberts, Jean-Claude van Damme, and Mel Gibson are the hidden candy.

I'm only interested in uppers for their ability to increase focus, however apparently meditation is better. Cruelly ironic then, that meditation requires you to practice exactly what you're struggling to do to begin with.

They increase focus, sure, but everything then has the potential to be super interesting. Spend hours discovering the intricacies of your hair.

I can only guess at the effects of slipping MDMA into your water supply. Apart from being super hip with the kids, of course.

Oh no, great fun. Unproductive and extremely dangerous and mercifully never going to be legalized regardless of how much edgy teens and adults beg, but great fun.

It's all a matter of perspective. We're at the disadvantage of being on a forum primarily based on debating politics which means that we inherently don't have any.
