Former NFL players call for medical marijuana to be taken off banned list

Started taking Vyvanse a few months ago. It feels amazing and I actually enjoy getting things done that used to just be a pain in the ass for me. I'm way more organized, clean, and healthy while I'm on this stuff. It's hard for me to eat while on it, however. I just don't feel like eating anything. It's not that I lost my appetite, but that I really just don't feel like hunger is the most important thing on my mind while I'm on it. Sometimes I'll go all day without even realizing that I'm pretty damn hungry, and I had only eaten a bag of chips in the last 12 hours. I've only done this a few times. I've learned to force myself to eat when the time comes. It is also pretty difficult to go to sleep at a normal time unless I take it very early in the morning, like 6 am or something. Normally I take it around 8 or 9, and it lasts for like 14 hours. It's a pretty incredible little pill, especially if you need to lose weight. I am already a very skinny person, so it kind of sucks on that part, but I've learned to eat more while I'm on it. I also do things like have in-depth conversations with myself when I'm alone, like driving down the interstate or something. I'll be listening to my favorite music in my car and then start talking to myself how incredible this band is or something. My apartment is cleaner and more organized than ever. I even clean my parents house for them when I go home. My dad has thousands of CDs and vinyls that were all in a huge mess in a big shelf, and one day after class I drove home and rearranged every single damn CD in alphabetical order by last name. My parents were impressed. My grades have greatly improved, too. I don't stray away from studying like I used to. I can sit for hours just learning whatever boring class I'm taking, like accounting or something, and feel fine the entire time. I have never felt that way in my life. Part of me feels like when I take this medicine that it probably isn't just the medicine doing all of this for me. As in I feel like it's part psychological for me to feel like this. I don't know. Either way, it feels great to take this stuff, and I am probably addicted to them. I hope not. No one probably read this far down anyway, but if you did, thanks I guess.
