Re: Snuff and concentration

I know what you mean. I too have a keyboard and plug it into my 
computer and use it to either ressurect ancient music or to play my 
own sounds using samples and stuff. Very amateurish but good fun. 
However, I did end up fiddling with the thing rather than trying to 
do anything constructive if I am deficient in Vitamin Snuff.

Likewise, I am starting this new venture of 3D visualisation and I am 
certain that I will need a heavy dose on a daily basis if not to help 
me with the concentration and creativity of doing tasks given to me 
by clients, but also when goign out into the dark on the phone trying 
to bring business in, Snuff will be always with me. If I sell none of 
my snuff stock, I have enought to keep me going until about 2040 (!) 
so I guess even slow snuff sales will be good for me!

As well as concentration, do you find snuff good for creativity too?
