about Ephedrine

"It has to do with long term use. See, if you continue taking ephedrine long-term, you may suffer emotional or psychological disruptions. If you research ephedrine properly you will find that the long-term side effects include depression, emotional outbursts, schizophrenia and more."

so THAT'S what has been so wrong with me lately. ephedra is what's been making me go through these massive mood swings. been doing a lot of research on side effects, short and long term, of amphetamines. actually, despite what everyone says, the worst things were the mental effects (listed above) and, well, impotence.

HA! but what do I need an erection for anyway?!? better to become perfect - to become truly sleepless. in some ways, amphetamines are truly the drug of the future, as they allow people to go days upon days without sleeping. the US military prescribes amphetamines (called 'go-pills') to their pilots; hundreds of thousands of people use them to lose weight/combat asthma; and millions upon millions of people take them in order to help them get ahead - to ace that exam, perform perfectly in that interview, or cram for that midterm. the fact is that amphetamines, unlike nearly every other illegal drug on the market, are NOT really recreational. while marijuana, narcotics (like cocaine/heroin), and hallucinatory drugs (LSD/acid/PCP... although PCP is a form of amphetamines) all are taken to make the user 'feel good', amphetamines do little in giving the kind of pleasure those other drugs do.
instead, what amphetamines do is provide a boost of energy, renewed focus, reduced appetite, and the ability to go long periods of time without sleep. other than the boost of energy, what is really fun about not sleeping or eating? therefore, while amphetamines remain illegal and are cautioned against taking, i find no reason not to embrace them. and yes, my emotional instability will probably get worse; yes, i will probably be feeling a lot shakier than i already do; and no, i certainly wont be having sex for a long while, but those are all sacrifices i'm willing to make in the pursuit of success.

now, just to make sure that i dont go insane in the meantime....

*where will i be when there's pain as far as eyes can see?
stand in line for days and nights,
trying to make up for lost time,
and this is how i feel.
i'm going to cut these loveless wrists,
my head sure hurts today..
take another 20 pills and try to make my troubles go away.
i once felt strong, but it wouldnt last for long.
to wrap my hands around my neck, kill myself again,
and cut my arms with the biggest knife that i can stand.
it's more than i can stand...
i'll take another 20 pills and try to make my troubles go away*
