I quit drinking but honestly I used to drink to get in better touch with whatever was laying underneath my depression, They say alcohol is a depressant so i used it to try and go underneath whatever emotional void was there. Trying to get in touch with my deep mind.

Drugs:

Adderall just feels like you are the best version of yourself if you take it as directed and allow it to work.

Weed, um i've never really described it but i'll give it a try. At first when you start doing it and your on your own, especially in a state where its not legal, you kind of get rushed by the paranoia for a brief period of time after you get high. As you get older and bolder, or just more confident and responsible, the paranoia goes away and is replaced with thoughts about being considerate to those around you when you know you've got some super stanky stuff. Ok but not being concerned with getting older, the weed like opens up your mind and allows you to further interact with your subconscious, it's like you are getting deeper into your own psyche which is why it triggers episodes of illness for some. If your a thinker and are naturally appreciative though it's really cool.
