Holy title, Batman!
The Last of Us crossed with Cronenberg’s Shivers.
WTF? He tasted one “for science”! While I understand there wasn’t any other way to know… What if it Hay been a poisonous mixture? I suppose he’d tested it before against common poisons! Still, wow!
Aren’t cicadas already sex-crazed?
I stopped reading after the bullshit that is
“amphetamine the drug called speed” No it isn’t you stupid dipshit, that’s methamphetamine fucking do a basic Wikipedia search you stupid fuck
Calm down Heisenberg.
An ignorance of chemistry and science is nothing to be proud of, it’s how we end up with a group of religious dipshits forcing their beliefs on people and restricting people’s reproductive rights. Try opening a book instead of the TV next time, maybe you’ll learn something.
Calm down Guttenberg.
whatever you say conversative enabler
Arrogance and misplaced rage aren’t anything to be proud of, either.
Your argument is pretty much a slippery slope argument, which is how we get things like people trying to ban gay marriage.
Speed is colloquial for both, altho I would argue it more commonly refers to vanilla racemic amphetamine (levo and dextro 50/50)
You feel very strongly about something that is not widely agreed upon.
I suffer ADHD and Adderall (amphetamine) is a cure for alot of people who have it. Calling it the street name of an illicit drug makes treatment infinitely harder for other people who suffer it.
While the treatment doesn’t work for me (high blood pressure and naturally easily agitated), if I don’t stand up and say ‘hey that ain’t fucking right!’ then I haven’t done a god damn thing to help my fellow ADHD kid and that don’t sit right with me.
I have ADHD and I’m on stimulants so I agree calling it by the street name isn’t helpful, but it’s also not inaccurate.
I maintain the only reason it has that street name is due to ignorance of the difference between Adderall and meth. Wasn’t too long ago I was listen to conspiracy theorists say it was the same thing based on some bullshit they heard.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obetrol came before Adderall
Obetrol was the brand name of a drug combining several amphetamine salts indicated for the treatment of exogenous obesity.
The original formulation of amphetamine mixed salts that included methamphetamine was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on January 19, 1960, under the name Obetrol. Indicated for exogenous obesity,
In 1970 the FDA issued an order requiring new drug applications for previously approved amphetamine products. The FDA was critical of combinations of amphetamines and non-amphetamines, but also considered amphetamine and methamphetamine mixtures a combination drug, and required the ingredients to be effective and safe individually and in combination. In September 1973 the FDA withdrew approval for Obetrol under the FDA Drug Efficacy Study Implementation program.
Because FDA considered combinations of amphetamine and dextroamphetamine salt a single entity, Rexar simply reformulated Obetrol to exclude methamphetamine salts and continued to sell this new formulation under the same Obetrol brand name. This new unapproved formulation was later rebranded and sold as Adderall by Richwood after it acquired Rexar resulting in FDA warning in 1994. Richwood resubmitted this formulation as NDA 11-522 and Adderall gained FDA approval for the treatment of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder on February 13, 1996.
There’s no meth in Adderall but this is where the confusion probably comes from.
And for those who don’t have ADHD Adderall gets them WIRED.
For those wondering what WIRED means, it means that for the effective time of the drug in our systems we don’t have 5 million conflicting thoughts in our heads and for the first time in our lives we can focus on a task, remember tiny details, not run into various obstacles, and a myriad of other tasks that people without ADHD have never struggled with.
In short, for the 4 hours that pill is in our system and working, we can experience being fucking normal and not a gigantic mess struggling to juggle everything life needs from us.
I suffer ADHD and Adderall (amphetamine) is a cure for alot of people who have it. Calling it the street name of an illicit drug makes treatment infinitely harder for other people who suffer it.
While the treatment doesn’t work for me (high blood pressure and naturally easily agitated), if I don’t stand up and say ‘hey that ain’t fucking right!’ then I haven’t done a god damn thing to help my fellow ADHD kid and that don’t sit right with me.
