- I should be able to buy methamphetamine over-the-counter

View full threadThe experience of smoking or injecting or even swallowing a high dose of methamphetamine is not really replicable with Adderall, despite similar mechanism of action, because compared to amphetamine, meth is a stronger central nervous stimulant with less intense peripheral adrenergic side effects.
- This is all stuff that I’m honestly kind of too innocent to have experience with. I guess all I can say with confidence is that when taking orally, the stimulants I’ve been prescribed have never become habit forming, and I have to jump through a lot of hoops to get them.
- Do you mean you use illicit methamphetamine? Or are you talking about ADHD stimulants?
- I have never in my life used an illicit drug. That’s not a moral stance, it’s just that I’m a rule follower and have been lucky enough to have access to prescribed ADHD medication. Could be I’m conflating the two, but I would’ve assumed that Adderall is equally addictive as illicit meth
- Extremely untrue we very much can
- Is it just me? I know that I’m a data point of one, but I definitely know other people who simply forget to take their Adderall. I don’t know a lot about meth addiction, but “forgetting to take readily available meth“ doesn’t feel like one of the symptoms.
- The more I stare at this, the harder it is to believe that this is an actual photo of a real person.

- There’s still a whole negative thing about methamphetamine being highly addictive, but so are both tobacco and alcohol. I don’t know if prescription grade methamphetamine is more or less addictive to normal people, but I assume so. As far as I can tell, people with ADHD can’t get addicted.
- That sounds like insane druggie thinking (“I’m not addicted, I can quit whenever I want“), but I have been taking it daily for decades, and I still routinely forget to take a dose for a couple of days. Not only ~could~ I quit whenever I want, I quit pretty regularly on accident.
- It would have a lot of other benefits. You don’t ever hear about people getting arrested for selling/making their own tobacco products or alcohol, because they’re available. Illicit manufacturing would go away. I’d be able to buy Sudafed again without showing my ID.
