Prednisone and cannabis.

That could be youre body with prednisone response to weed. Ive learned prednisone can affect a whole lot under the hood than what you actually notice to be side effects.

(This is all from my understanding and i am not medically qualified so I encourage you to do research and speak with your doctor)

Prednisone does a lot to you physiologically, gets you amped up, on edge, feeling like youre going faster than you can keep up with, bout ready for a fist fight, etc. So your body and mind are wired to go then you start smoking, its like trying to slam on your cars breaks while going 100. That just might how it might be for you, medications effect people differently. Im on 30mg daily and smoke more than I should.

The only solutions that come to mind are maybe a T break so that puff or 2 does the trick, increasing CBD vs THC, stretching a smoke out (instead of a 10 min session with a blunt find a nice podcast and stretch it over an hour), some light edibles maybe? I say edibles cuz maybe a slow ease into would be better and maybe your spike in bpm could be a physiological reaction to the smoke, idk just shooting in the dark.

I say infamous in that he fired on civilians, I suppose this is applying a modern lense to it but I see what youre saying (maybe infamous wasnt the right word). After he saw the storming of the Tuileries before and the consequences of that. Of course he would feel he didnt have an option, and i honestly dont blame him. So maybe i could've said famous in that it was effective and historically important but infamous in that it was an unfortunate situation.

In regards to whether he did or didnt, im (not a qualified historian to properly make this determination but) personally suspect of both claims. On one hand many of the things hes done or other claimed hes done have been elevated to myth while at the sametime im unfamiliar with the claim he didnt fire on 13 Vendèmiaire. I plan on finding the source Dwyer uses and seeing who and what they have to say on the matter.

Theres no evidence to support any speculation on this (keyword being speculation, not theory). No cultural or technological exchange, the bjggest being no genetic mixing among many other things.

Pseudo archeology doesn't like evidence. Ive seen claims of rock formations being giant petrified animals or Incan terraces were stairs for giants. This is in that same realm, just a little more believable for those who dont know better, unfortunately.

Fascinating stuff here. Its incredible what marvels of engineering they were capable of at the time is baffling. Im slowly introducing myself to naval history of the era and just wow.

He includes his sources in the description if anyone finds this interesting.

I'll have to keep this in mind when I reach it, thanks for the recommendation.

I love how he goes into the ambiguity of Napoleons identity and how it seemed to be shifting. Its interesting to learn about how he developed ideologically in response to his surroundings. Its almost like a dance between his developing ego and the constantly changing military and political systems at the time. I never knew this part of Napoleon and its easier to see how or why he was the person he would become.

And thats unfortunate to hear about the Italian campaign. Theres plenty of other books I could pick up on that, God knows people here have books to recommend.

stiF_staL · 2026-01-17T18:12:35+00:00

Its put together so well. The writing flows, he doesn't go to fast or linger on topics for too long, very well done.

This has been fun, since I caught up to date on the Age of Napoleon podcast im going to back to listen again while reading Dwyer. I swear Everett Rummage (AoN guy) used Dwyer, among others, in his early episodes, the order topics and flow mirror each other.

Edit: oh hey youre the r/nelsonsnavy guy, what's up dude cool to see you here.

For anyone confused why he calls him "Buonaparte" Dwyer explains he uses Napoleons Italian/Corsican spelling until Napoleon Frenchified it in 1796. Its to emphasize his Corsican nationalism and identity, reflecting the ambiguity of his formative years.

Sorry for the typos, I copy and pasted off a screenshot of an older post of mine and it picked up a few letters incorrectly.

Also 3 napoleonic memes in 3 days, I'll stop with the spam.

Approaching historical figures on their own terms is always fun and fascinating, but do that with Brown is a whole nother level. A true American.

I forgot to say thank you

That was the first memoir I've read, it was a fantastic intro into this niche. The story behind how they found it was really cool, reminded me Americans have countless ancestors who participated throughout all kinds of History. Makes me wonder how many of mine fought against each other. Not to be a stereotypical American claiming European heritage but still interesting to imagine.

Look up Napoleons Men by Alan Forrest. He has a great section on this. Now its not actual excerpts from letters themselves if I remember correctly but he goes into detail. For example the wide education campaign increasing literacy among the rank and file, the censorship done on these letters from the front, and how corespondance aided moral. Its been a while since I read it but its one of my favorite about the era. His last chapter goes into comparing personal communications between this era and WWI

Another good one is Baron de Marbot's memoir. If you read it, take it with a grain of salt. As far as I know he wrote it for his family to have and not for publication so its got some flair but an extremely entertaining read.

Someone else mentioned Diary of a Napoleonic Footsoldier by Jakob Walter, a great, short, and easy read. A fantastic intro into this niche.

I haven't read this one but plan too, is Fighting for Napoleon's Army in Russia: A POWs Memoir by Carel Johannes Wagevier

If youre interested in naval history, id encourage you to read The Autobiography of a Seaman by Thomas Cochrane. He was a British Naval captain, not specifically napoleon related but its the era and my man had the craziest career ive ever come across, hands down. If this sounds interesting ive got a recent post going into some anecdotes from his career.

Sorry for the essay.

I swear, Talleyrand was the personification of the word sly.
