Around that age I felt I didn't need it anymore. I was fine going off of it and didn't take or use anything else until I was 19 - when I started experimenting with pot. I had many wonderful personal revelations under the influence and continued smoking it ( the whole time - writing a lot of really good songs I still like and hope to make "real" one day ) up until 5-6 months ago. Stress had started to come at me from all angles until it finally permeated my thinking process (i don't think negative like that anymore btw) I had tension and hyperness came about me I started to not be able to even get the slightest relief or high from the most potent bud - any pot really. I haven't smoked in 2 weeks and just last night I tried it again and i realized that it def. makes me hyper now. I love it so much because of its creative potential but I fear I'll never be able to feel that way again. I was diagnosed with add/adhd at a young age and was on ritalin until I was 16.
