    I don’t need the serotonin and dopamine inside my gut, I need it in my brain. …Will shoving an orange up my nose work?

      I used to take pieces of orange peel, bend them so the inside turns convex and inhale it through my nose, it helped me stay awake in class.

        I do a similar thing but i bend the orange peel inside a short glass to spritz the oils, then occasionally lift the glass to my nose and enjoy.

        Oh i forgot i also add ~80ml of whiskey, a squirt of simple syrup and 3 dashes of bitters first.
