900 km/h standing still
Heart failure maxxing
One time, when I was still learning to flex my social muscles and had volunteered to MC a work function, I was incredibly anxious beforehand and downed a large dose of CBD oil. Not realizing that the formula I was using had significant levels of THC also, it’s just that I had used it in small doses so I never realized it before.
While I got through it, it went as you would expect. I was slow in places, I had a hard time focusing and improvising any chatter. It was awkward and I felt mortified after.
BUT, I did not give up. I hosted every work social event, organized charity drives and other special programs, and within a year I was managing a team, chairing two committees and made Employee of the Year. By that time I had been through so much rough shit and embarrassment at work that I was invulnerable to social anxiety. People said I was so smooth and often asked me how I didn’t get nervous public speaking.
The secret to almost anything is to not be afraid to fall flat on your face.
edit: I did not continue to use mind-altering chemicals before social events, it was a bad idea, if I didn’t make it clear.

Unpopular opinion: your body your choice. Do what drugs you want just be safe.
Coffee just makes me sleepy and anxious. I think 3 cups would put me into a coma.
