You don&#x27;t notice the drug users who are well functioning. There are a lot of factors that feed into addiction and even more into how it affects your life.<p>Drugs definitely have their role in the world. People are prescribed amphetamines daily to function better. However, as with anything that changes how you perceive the world, there are always new chances to hurt yourself. My best advice is not to view drugs as an end themselves, but a means to reach a mental state.<p>The &quot;safe performance pill&quot; is called adderall. I would not call it very relaxing, though, or calming; it merely makes reward feedback much, much stronger.<p>Alternatively, there is acid, which is its own thing. Do your research heavily with that, but I experience it as very relaxing and clarifying. It is also extremely hard to abuse in a way that would cause &quot;wreckage and death&quot;.
