3.) Energy-drinks / sugary snacks nearby. Gotta keep the brain fueled up.

You mentioned energy drinks... I would like to add if I drink an energy drink on an empty stomach, I feel horrible from the sugar crash... Eating protein before and after helps me balance out...

Also, eat something healthy for breakfast... fruit is great because it's easily digested and takes minimal time to prepare! If you neglect your health now, you will pay for it later. I also gave myself kidney stones drinking 3+ energy drinks a day, they're not kidding when they say they're unhealthy! =)

At least not until the days work is done. Or you don't have any work the next day, depending on the person. Keeping your system clean definitely helps if you have to transition back from home employment to outside employment... It's a lot easier to pass a drug test if there isn't anything in your system... =)

Comment Pomodoro Technique (Score 1) 480

Try checking out the Pomodoro Technique... the basics of it are you set a 25 minute timer, work for 25 minutes uninterrupted, set a 5 minute timer and take a 5 minute break, after the 4th work session ("Pomodoro"), you take a longer break (15-30 minutes)...

This has helped my focus by having planned lack of focus moments... =) Hope this helps...

Comment Vitamin D3 (Score 1) 105

My theory is that, during the winter, we have far less sun exposure, due to shorter days, and people staying indoors to avoid the cold.

This causes a huge drop in natural Vitamin D3 levels. So I supplement with Vitamin D3, especially during the winter.

Now, I'm not a doctor or a scientist, but I never catch colds or the flu since doing this.

I also NEVER get the flu shots. I was exposed directly to the H1N1 swine flu for 3 weeks, and never came down with it.

Comment Thanks to the war on drugs... (Score 1) 757

Thanks to the war on drugs, it is now easier to get meth amphetamine than it is to get cold pills.

Meth dealers don't check I.D. or log who purchased, like they now do with cold pills.

If you're someone like me, who has a certified birth certificate, social security card, and an out of state expired I.D., and that's still not enough to get current I.D. with the new regulations.

If a patient mentions that they smoke pot, or they find THC metabolites in their system, even if they are "prescribed" (technically "recommended" since it's Schedule I), then it makes it into the statistic claiming that pot was a cause or contributing factor... They are LYING to us, big surprise...

Comment Re:I stopped reading the responses after... (Score 2) 920

Delta-9 THC is metabolized into Delta-11 THC, which is then metabolized into THC-COOH, which is an inactive metabolite... So that theory of it not causing withdrawals because it stays in so long is incorrect...

After a max of 8 hours, the effects have worn off.. (usually more like 1-4 hours..)..
The claim that cannabis keeps you high for 30 days is completely incorrect...
