    He had Parkinsons like symptoms, was on a methamphetemine to combat fatigue, a barbiturate to combat insomnia with some opioids on the side.

    There’s no way he wasn’t high 24x7.

    Which is why we shouldn’t get too caught up on individuals. There will always be tweakers. The amazing thing is people rallied around a genocidal demagogue on drugs and said that’s our guy.

      Nah, the amazing thing is the majority was overpowered by a minority of disfunctional tweaker psychopaths.

      This is the great, fatal human flaw. Where is our immunity!?!

      Better species needed sadly.

      Damn, as someone with ADHD, that’s pretty similar to my usual routine. Adderall, PEA, or benzedrine to focus and get shit done (so I’m not a useless blob), kratom to boost my mood and keep the demons quiet, cannabis so I can sleep and enjoy mundane tasks, and the occasional drink or benzo to take the edge off.

          Pretty much lol. Some people will call me a junkie, but I’m not trying to get high (you don’t get high anymore anyway when you regularly take drugs). I’m just trying to be a normal functioning adult.
