I don't smoke anymore but I'm hardcore into bodybuilding and am cycling right now and my level of focus and concentration is through the roof. I know there are a lot of guys that work out on here and wonder if they have the same experience.
It would not be bad to assume most of the people trading against you are on drugs. If not for that I would not have been able to get out of a bad trade at BE today.
i read this book "Inside the Investor's Brain: The Power of Mind Over Money" its about neural/behavioral finance... great book.. talks alot about personality types.. drugs there influences and everything there of... IE manic/bipolar people... different drugs that have been prescribed to traders like wellbutrin etc etc... great read actually... i grew up on mary jane.. its actually my fucking moms name! but i'm sober now a long time.. i do believe in the lesser of all evils of weed.. but there is no substitute for actually dealing with your issues.. theres no free lunch in the mental health traders psych world in my opinion... people are so bias they believe they can drive better drunk... they believe that they can take ACID and see a new level of reality.. the reality of it is.. they just escape the world they don't wanna live in...
my disclosure statement:
i grew up on every drug you can take.. had crazy flashbacks at 4 years sober... and i'm on 75 mg of bupropion/wellbutrin .. super self aware personality type.... risk adverse as a motherfucker.. haha highly distracted by giving instructions to the ladies.. IE "more fetchy,less talky" haha

RANCIS CRICK, the Nobel Prize-winning father of modern genetics, was under the influence of LSD when he first deduced the double-helix structure of DNA nearly 50 years ago.
The abrasive and unorthodox Crick and his brilliant American co-researcher James Watson famously celebrated their eureka moment in March 1953 by running from the now legendary Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge to the nearby Eagle pub, where they announced over pints of bitter that they had discovered the secret of life.
Crick, who died ten days ago, aged 88, later told a fellow scientist that he often used small doses of LSD then an experimental drug used in psychotherapy to boost his powers of thought. He said it was LSD, not the Eagle's warm beer, that helped him to unravel the structure of DNA, the discovery that won him the Nobel Prize.

Interesting.... I once took acid and then I twice took acid. And then I 2000th took acid but sometimes drugs just amplify stupidity in some people! Haha. Its true it affects everyone differently... one girl took her cloths off and started trying to bite everyone like she was an animal at the party... I don't think she ever thought of anything double helix. Maybe double penetration!Haha. Steve jobs was a huge acid head... so was I ... I find drugs to be romantically over glamorized
this is very true, it just doesn't have the same effects on everyone. Must simply have something to do with each person chemical make up. I enjoyed my fair share of psychedelics, good times everytime. It did not make me stupid and I would not be doing it everyday. Infact you can't do LSD everyday, it will cease to work, as it is just a catalyst or agonist for the drugs produced by your body. Therefor you cannot overdose and once that is used up, you have to give it some time for your body to produce again. (could be wrong but this is from what I thought I knew at one point).
Wouldn't be trading on that stuff though, that would be a waste. I may well think about markets though and a plethora of other things.

I was a bad kid...
I know this so well.... I kept having to double up on dose size to get anything out of it.. diminishing returns!! In high school I remember taking so much after a while and sitting there thinking... gosh kids are in the loony bin for taking 3 hits and I've taking so much more then that and the only thing I feel is my back hurting... I took a lot of mushrooms to... I don't recommend doing any drugs but mushrooms to me are safer then paper...
