Hell a bit of speed back in the day was great to put some pep in your step and keep you going for days if need be.. Was a reason the Nazi's were on that shit for sure. However not really anything that is sustainable in my humble opinion.

Opiates are great pain killers but not worth the constipation for me personally, tried a few different flavours and varieties and if I had to pick kratom would be at the top.. Only done it 3 times in my life and enjoyed it every time.

Nicotine is a bitch. atleast other substances might give ya a buzz or something.. All damn smokes do is give you craving and make ya stink of ass.. Shit's evil and expensive!

Women can be a great compliment or cause of chaos all depending on the girl. lol. Keep on keeping on dude, sounds like you got a good target of where you want to be so head for it and don't let anyone tell ya otherwise.
