this sounds all self-helpy and cheesy but it works alot for me

whenever im procrastinating with work i hear myself saying in my head "man i dont want to do this"

if i just tell myself "quit acting like a fucking baby and get it done" i usually am able to focus and get shit done, its all about changing my mentality


so in other words, quit acting like a fucking baby and get it done

word. this might sound ignorant of me but i've never been a believer in stuff like adderol. people have different mentailities about how to go about doing things. its just how life is. stuff like that is just meant to adjust peoples thought process in some uniform manor. same with people taking anti depressants, its just sweeping dirt under the rug.

very true. but what harm is there in supplementing that with a little extra focus and guarantee a better grade and better efficiency?
almost everyone else already uses adderall or another stimulant as as study aid. as someone who smokes a lot of weed i would be putting myself at a huge disadvantage if i didnt utilize it on certain occasions

I suppose it's pretty easy to have that opinion, if I didn't have ADD I would probably think the same way. I was "diagnosed" when I was younger and it has definitly followed me. You can break it down and say "Well yeah it's just your mentality and you can fix it if you put your mind to it." The problem is it feels like my mind just can't be controlled like that, it jumps around so quickly that I can barely focus on just typing this reply haha.

I've endured some pretty ridiculous speeches about ADD and how it's nothing more than a cop out for someone that just can't man up and focus. I'm not too worried about it though, if someone needs help with focusing, that's just the way it is and it really shouldn't be put under scrutiny from someone that doesn't really understand it.

However I'm not down with parents not giving their kids a chance and just forcing pills down their throat in hopes that they'll calm down and become good little workers.

I don't use Adderal to "just do the work". I use adderall to get A's. It's effects are real and if you've never had to do Calc 2 hmw problems for 8 hours 3 days before the test, you won't understand the need for a little mental motivation.

**I'm also not abusing them/such as someone said in the post(staying up all night and popping adderall is just cramming and that's poor planning on your part). I use adderall to get my shit done a week before it's due.

well it's basically like cheating... it's makes you WANT to study. it feels GOOD to study. it's win/win.
*it's important to realize its a time released amphetamine and it feels similar to cocaine when you're in the heat of studying which makes you feel a reward for doing your work thoroughly. i'm not here to argue about taking drugs and studying...

it literally gives you an advantage and i do it to make better grades/learn more than the other guy because the real world is competitive...knowing as much as possible is the deciding factor for getting that job in sciences....probably wouldn't apply if you're in business, accounting, art or "hustling". your judgements can :arrow:

I see you're point, but it doesn't directly apply to my situation. It's not that I don't want to learn the chemistry/biology material i'm studying... it's the sheer amount of information...Adderal just makes me more efficient and i can learn a shit load in one sitting.

you think the people that get into Harvard and top schools don't use adderall to get the advantage? those are the same people inventing shit like the IPHONE etc etc. It's called overachieving.

ok, theoretically, if i wanted to create an alternate source of energy. i know how to calculate the amount of solar energy it would require to vaporize water in a container...this wouuld increase pressure inside of the container which i could attach to a magnet surrounded by copper wiring, as the pressure increases inside of the container it moves the magnet accordingly. the magnet induces an electric current in the copper wiring which then creates electricity flow through the wires that i could wire to a light...

so using these basic properties of chemicals i could determine a more efficient way to concentrate solar energy to produce the most thermal expansion and possibly power a small machine using this activity(although this is very ambitious and this is a crude model i made up on the fly).

this is seriously something i just made up so i'm sure it has flaws, but imagine what i'll be thinking up in 5-10 years. right now i dont have the funds to actually make any prototypes but eventually i'm gonna make something sick as fuck. and get filthy rich so it's in my best interest to know everything, however miniscule it may seem... i can do this without adderal, but its so much easier with adderal. btw i have only used adderall twice this semester and finals are in 3 weeks so i'm not dependent on it.

I'm sorry Charlie, but this post is complete horse shit. If someone comes up with a more efficient way to produce electricity, they're going to be rolling in cash. Just because you can't develop such a process doesn't mean that there aren't people out there who are, and who are making money. The real world rewards those who put in the effort to advance science, you are just too naive to see that, I suppose.

Yes, it does take some very diligent planning and a core understanding of how to run a business to get something started. But it is not impossible, and "the current politics of our society" have nothing to do with getting something accomplished. It has to do with the entrepreneur having a viable plan to accomplish his end goal. If these things are in place, he will be successful, and make money.

The end.

So why aren't we driving in electric cars yet, smart guy?

Just like everything in the real world, there isn't a one shot answer to explain it all. There are several factors that are prohibiting mass production of electric cars, though they do exist if you'd care to do a little Google search.

1. The performance has not yet surpassed the performance of gasoline cars. You can only drive X amount of miles before you need to recharge the car, and the number X is just not high enough yet to make it a sound investment. Which leads to the next point.

2. We need to be producing a shit ton more of electricity in order to sustain cars that run strictly on electricity. Think about it, how are we going to power the 9 million cars (a guesstimate) that are running in the US alone? It's going to take an entire upgrade and restructure of the current power grid in order to maintain this amount of energy that is necessary to recharge all of these cars.

Maybe if you were able to think about something rationally, you could have answered this question yourself.

Though, I do agree with most of your opinions on skating. But not all.

there are efficient fully electric cars out there but right now they are too expensive for everyone to have them. the Telsa car goes 244 miles p/charge which is close to what you would get out of an SUV. it is also plenty fast (zero to 60 in 3.9 seconds). This car is only about 100,000 but they are coming out with a sedan in 2010 for 60,000. Big malls (like discover mills in atlanta) already have charge stations set up in their parking lots. this shit is happening it is just going to take a lil while for everyone to jump on board.

Also, every product follows an S curve of development. We are still in the initial stages of the electric car, before a truly innovative solution to the problem of battery life has been presented. Being that I am just speaking generally and do not have specific knowledge on the batteries that are used in electric cars, I can't speak of this, not that you would understand anyway.

It will take some time before this idea truly lifts off and enters the sharp incline, where the product begins to prosper as more and more people jump onboard.

I don't see what is so hard to understand about it. It's not politics, it's economics, manufacturing and design.

You can try to say it's politics there that are preventing the power grid from being beefed up, but are there not all private companies who own these structures. Does Westinghouse not produce power? Oh that's right, Uncle Sam makes all the 'lectricity round these parts. Better watch your back, he's peeking through your TV set 1984 style.

I just pop 30 mg and a weeks worth of work is done in a day. And I always get a much better grade when i do my work with it. It just kinda sucks cuz when u take it everyday you get addicted to it. But who cares, i get it everyday, and with health insurance it is only 30 bux a month.

For what reason would the government not want the US to be on the cutting edge of transportation technology? Turn our car manufacturers' fates around and start making money? Swinging production up across the nation and exporting some quality cars that blow Japan out of the market?

No, who the fuck would want these things, when we can keep buying oil right? That's all the government wants, oil dependency. They want us to spend all of their money on oil. They want us to pour all of our money into the middle east.

No, we want to keep it here. We want to get the economy functioning again. We need innovation. Science will get us there, as long as we get there first.

Too bad Toyota has their A-game on, 3rd Gen Prius' can go 50 miles on electricity alone. And they're affordable. 50 mpg, that's a start.

Bahahahahaha, because private corporations have nothing to do with politics.

You seem to be interpreting what the people want as the same thing that the government wants. This is incorrect.

that is sick. 50 miles covers the daily grind for most. plug that shit in everynight and you dont have to buy gas until you have to go out of town or do something out of the ordinary.

too bad Toyota hasnt figured out how to make a Prius look good

I'm really interested in becoming a flavor chemist. And then I want to accomplish my three life goals.



1) to know everything(i'm working on it)
2) to invent something(and become stupid rich, maybe Ehalt flavor)
3) to write a book about it(it's gonna be tight)

Maybe you should find a different calling if you have to take a drug to make yourself learn it. I don't see any pros taking Adderal to learn how to rollerblade . . .

I see you're point, but it doesn't directly apply to my situation. It's not that I don't want to learn the chemistry/biology material i'm studying... it's the sheer amount of information...Adderal just makes me more efficient and i can learn a shit load in one sitting.

you think the people that get into Harvard and top schools don't use adderall to get the advantage? those are the same people inventing shit like the IPHONE etc etc. It's called overachieving.

You're information is very skewed. Of course adderall abuse is widespread, but its not NEARLY as drastic as you are claiming. The last estimates I saw indicated around a 5% use rate within health professional students, which often endure a heavy workload. If you think all intelligent individuals are incapable of solid work ethic and have to use an amphetamine to be at the top of their class, then you are incorrect and probably only attempting to justify your own addiction.

And the fact that you used Harvard for your comparison was a poor choice considering the majority of students who attend Harvard are only there because of legacy, ie Bush.

i can't believe you are you stressing out over calc 2. that shit ain't too tough, although granted it's a big step up from calc 1. fortunately, calc 3 is a lot easier. differential equations and discrete mathematics are a bitch.

have you taken p chem yet? shit's baller hard. good luck with the flavor chemist plan. that would be rad.


everyone takes drugs. our bodies are a bunch of chemicals, so why not positively affect them from time to time to get shit done? it's no different than drinking coffee in the morning, smoking and drinking in the evening, and fucking at night. all of that directly affects your body's chemistry.

exactly! i'm being misunderstood. I took calc 2 2 years ago and used adderal when i would stdy for the test. i'm in pchem2 right now but it's not as bad as calc 2 was in comparison(it was just how big the step was from calc to calc 2).

why is everyone so against adderal but not against weed and alcohol? it's a positive influence...

and to waterphelps, it's like atheletes and steroids, not everyone of them do it but it happens. Some of these programs are so competetive that people will do a lot for the slight advantage, which adderal is by no means a wonder drug, as if you take it and you know it all. responsible people take it and use it to their advantage, it's not like taking an open book test. I just don't know why people are stressing out of it so bad. Can anyone on here tell me that it's this bad...if they've tried it before?

ok i'm going to bed, i'm just rambling now

If you don't want to do something so much that you can not concentrate on it, I would have to say that you are genuinely not interested in it. If you are not interested in something, why force yourself to continue doing it? Perhaps, you mind and body are trying to tell you something . . .

Is this really something that needed to be asked? Sometimes you've got to do things you're not interested in, I know, harsh reality, but it's true. Sure we can all sit around and say if we don't wanna do it then we're just not going to, but then where would anyone end up? If the only people that succeeded in life were the ones that enjoyed cramming 8 hours of homework then how many people would actually be graduating?

The electric car has been around for a looong time, and I agree with Charlie that part of the reason we don't all have them is because of politics and business. If we all suddenly start buying electric cars, a lot of rich and powerful people in the oil industry suddenly become a lot less wealthy, and a lot less happy. So basically, it's not going to happen for a while.

As for adderal, I've never even heard of it, which makes me happy as it proves how undependant the UK is on medication for everything. Not aimed at the topic starter here but you guys using this stuff on the regular are idiots, if you know you need to study for something, get sleep, drink water, and eat proper. It'll be cheaper and soo much better for you in the long run than just relying on drugs.

For some people, they cannot control that.

its different with subjects like math and science though. Entirely new concepts get introduced to you with each course. in history, there are no new concepts to understand...just a little extra information to memorize.

it's the same principles though, with chemistry you learn about solutions, orbitals, and properties of metals. with each progressing chemistry class you learn a little bit more about the last building upon what you learned in the previous class until it all comes together.

everyone who speaks english has that initial advantage of being able to "understand the basics" because the prerequisite is language

the difference is memorization vs. comprehension. history is just facts while math and sciene is understanding how these concepts work. History is like teaching a kid that the word for car is "car." This is an extremely easy fact to memorize...all you have to do is point and say it 2 or 3 times and they know. Math/Science is more like teaching someone every component of a car and how/why all of these parts of an engine work together to power the car...and then telling them to look at a busted engine and have them fix it.

EDIT: after re-reading this convo i think we are arguing two different points. i completely agree with you that everything we learn is built from basic concepts. Im just saying that i could memorize the facts about history that i learned in college when i was middle school if they told me to. its no harder to understand at 12 than it is at 21

i could argue that it's not really about understanding initially. a lot of the concepts in science are so broad and generalized in the begining that they just want you to "swallow" the material without thinking. eventually...meaning my senior year as a chemistry major, they take all of the concepts that you have memorized and link them together which melts into one fluid understanding of how things work.

baby steps is the approach to teaching every subject, especially a science. i refuse to believe that some people just "aren't science people".

they teach you everything, just depends on whether you're willing to keep up. ** and if it becomes overwelming, take the proper course of action(adderal haha)

interesting...that's exactly what i'm studying right now. how the Smooth endoplasmic reticulum in liver cells use the cytochrome p-450 enzymes to break down drugs into water soluble metabolites so you don't piss out something with the consistency of "sand".

freebasing wouldn't make it last longer at all. not to mention the heat from the flame would decompose the active ingredient/literally break the bonds in the compound.

I have never been able to go to a complete day of school in college or high school. I'm not going to lie, I decided to do an experiment and took Adderal one day to go to class. I would have probably been straight if I could have walked back and forth in the back of the classroom the whole time. Just sitting there, I felt like I was on that rock. I had to leave and go organize some shit ASAP. That shit was wack.

Then I took it once for like a week straight to turn 20 P's of fresh mid into "dank" by trimming and de-seeding it for like 12 hours straight per day. That shit was intense. I did not like it all and I would never take it again.
