Pretty water but something that can easily be observed. Many people use pretty shitty (but acutely effective) anti-anxiety drugs for socializing and for getting slays. The problem is that most of these drugs can not only easily be abused (and a large majority of people don't have the self-control to abstain) but also consistently reduce cognition if used for a long enough period. It's a byproduct of the mechanism itself inhibiting excitatory neurotransmitters.

You can see this happen to clav over the past few months, he was very honed in on his worldview and made decent quality videos explaining some aspects of ascending. However in the attempt to statusmaxx he started using pregab, xanax, ketamine, meth, beta-blockers, other GABAergics on top of other stuff. You can see the cognitive descension in real time.

My point here is that you should constantly be looking for better drugs to use. If something reduces anxiety without tolerance or without issues then that should be preferred. For me, sustainability is key and I want to build health but also mog to the heavens and I believe you can do both at once (though be ready to be experimental).

First post how'd I do?
