Low dose dextro-aphetamine for ADHD in everyday life, weed for music and various other enjoyment, only occasionally. Alcohol and whatever nose-friendly stimulants are available for parties. Psychedelics at most annually(ideally 2C-B or (1p-)LSD, but I've tried a whole host of different ones) for deep contemplation and introspection.

Watching my brother destroy his life with Heroin has kept me away from opioids for the most part, but I don't like the way they make me feel anyway.

Opioids are no joke for sure. If you have good self discipline and can limit yourself to one every 2 to 3 days, it can be amazing and safe. But it makes you feel really good and many people don't have the self control required, so I recommend staying away. If you develop a physical dependence, it is not pleasant to say the least.

I mean I've tried opioids, but they make me nauseous. And tired. And i specifically avoided trying really strong ones because yeah, I know I wouldn't be able to handle it. It took years of suffering even to be able to control my cannabis use...
