I'm usually one of those kids smokin' on the reefer before school, and it works out at first, because I have art class first period. Unfortunately, I'm often still going strong by second period math class which results in silly self portraits and a very sad grade in the class:c
I have a self portrait of a very strong kava kava dosage and one of a very strong phenibut dosage to upload still, but I be lazy.

I was too paranoid last year since I had English first period. But now, with a class in which I draw/paint the whole time first thing, I'd be crazy NOT to get stoned beforehand!
Kava Kava is just a root and not very effective; I decided to keep upping the dose until I finally achieved effects (since I've never heard of a lethal dose).
Phenibut is an experimental chemical to be used as a sleep aid. It's like this really cleeear, glassy opiate feel. I was inspired by Brian Lewis Saunders (look him up, you won't regret it!) to get high on obscure things, and draw self portraits of how i felt.
In summary... drugs are good!

i looked at some of his self-portraits...fascinating stuff. i'll have to spend more time exploring his gallery. i've tried to draw the feelings i get from drugs before, but never thought to do it in self-portrait form. it's awesome how many different art styles you can get from trying to embody specific states of mind. been obsessed with this subject for a while now.

I really like his "Kine Bud" one. Weed is probably the most basic drug out there, but I just really like the general aesthetics of that painting. and I know brotha, mental states come in an infinite variety of strains. Drawing/painting/whatevering characteristics of each is a portal to limitless creativity. if that's what you mean, my mind feels like a raisin right now

I've TRIED to try, ya dig? I've always been partial to delerient type effects (more for adventure than pleasure of course) but it starts fucking with my immune system and grades before I can stay up long enough. maybe i'll try during winter break or something. have you?

yeah, and i get the same type of problem that you do. i've never made it past one night without sleep. as a matter of fact, i was in the middle of one of those when i asked, that's what brought it up. one thing i notice is that for the entire following day, i have this aching feeling underneath my chest that i really like for some reason. my emotions get a lot more serious and withdrawn, and a lot of the time it feels like they're being produced by the aching area. i have trouble thinking because i blank out a lot. there's a lot of waiting involved during the time i would usually be sleeping, and i like to fill that up with drawing because i can get into a productive trance.
i know this kid who stayed up three nights in a row for the hell of it. apparently he started seeing shadow people and flashing balls of light by the third night. he sustained himself on 5-hour energies, wore the same clothes for three days, and, i believe, remained in the same park for most of the time. now that's dedication.

That's almost spot on with my experience too, that aching feeling like the emotions are packed in there so tight there's all this pressure. some sort of mild lung muscle tension or something. and the productive trance too, one of my works on here, "The Hot Spot" was done almost all in one night because I was about to go to sleep but then I just had to work on this picture I kept seeing in my mind. I think my record is two and a half days, and then couldn't stay awake any longer. adderall is probably the best tool for that
