I tried searching and seemingly nobody posted about this. One more recruit to the legion of doom, lol.

Long story short, used to smoke weed in my younger days, don't use any cannabis products any more, but there are times that I miss the ease-of-access it provided in ths creative department, creating clearer thoughts, and the "Let's go get it" element it created. I'd smoke and meal prep, clean, journal thoughts that came to mind whilst I was under the influence.

There were too many downsides for me which is why I eventually phased it out of my life, but if there are any nootropics that could imitate effects such as what I described above, I would be willing to give it a try.

For further context, I've had the instant kanna tablets and they're pretty good but that's more for social lubrication in my experience than it is for cognitive or creative effects. I've had nobiletin which was interesting and gave me a similar focus to when I take a large dose of creatine, subtle but definitely an impact. Neither of these do what I am looking for as described earlier, however

He had 18 points in 12 games in the first two rounds

In the last two rounds, he had 10 points in 11 games

**11 of his 29 points were in 6 games against Anaheim in the second round.**

**Anaheim was 4th worst in the league for goals against.**

Anaheim finished with 92 points, despite being in a division where you regularly get the chance for 2 full points playing against Vancouver, Calgary, and Seattle. Even San Jose and Los Angeles aren't that strong right now.

This was Anaheim's **first time in the playoffs in 8 years.** In any other division that playoff drought would have continued. You're not supposed to make the playoffs on 92 points. I'm not remotely convinced that Anaheim has successfully rebuilt. They could go right back to being a non-playoff team next season.

All of this pro-Marner, anti-Leafs propaganda kicked into overdrive after this round against Anaheim where he racked up **11 points in 6 games against a defensively porous, non-playoff level team.**

So, without having faced Anaheim, he has 18 points in 17 games. Which is very good, but not as amazing as the media was making Marner out to be.

Furthermore, the whole reason he built up the totals he did this playoff run is because he got to make it into the later rounds after facing Utah and Anaheim. I'm not going to drag on Utah here, but let's be honest, that's not exactly a gauntlet for your first two rounds of Hockey.

**TL;DR - Mitch Marner played in the pillow fight division and feasted on cooked Ducks, but this gets conveniently ignored because media wanted to endlessly shit on Toronto.**

My favorite album hands down is CTS and I am kind of worried they won't play those tracks
