Kratom guy: it's really funny the way you guys have to sell your stuff. Another site sells "Kratom Incense Capsules"....

When I open your site and see that bunch of green stuff for sale, it just looks like weed has another name now.

The incense thing is done more for the benefit of Paypal than anyone else.

Amphetamines. Good enough for Erdos, Good enough for me. Of course, stark terror of politically-motivated violence works even better (cf. career of Leonhard Euler).

http://nostalgia.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Erdos " His working habits became characterised by working obsessively long hours, sleeping at most 4-5 hours a night and relying on the heavy use of amphetamines to maintain his activity levels. Once a friend challenged him to give up his drug use for a month; he complied, but later complained bitterly that mathematics was held up for a month. "

Amphetamine is one hell of a drug for productivity but it's got some nasty side effects. It's insane that a very large percent of our children are prescribed hard stimulants. Amphetamine makes just about everyone more productive so of course it makes kids better at school.
