Dosage makes the poison. Modern Adderall slowly disperses over the day while meth hits you like a freight train. The difference between the effects of taking the recommended prescription of Adderall and taking meth is like the difference between drinking half a glass of wine over an evening and chugging a gallon of moonshine.
Yeah, no that’s not how that works and probably the biggest misconception. Adderall and stimulant medication in general has next to no side effects when taken in the prescribed dosage. It slightly elevates your heart rate and blood pressure, other than that there’s pretty much nothing. There aren’t even withdrawal symptoms when you stop taking them.
If you’re curious about the topic read up on it in of spreading dangerous half-truths
Yes? I agree with what you are paraphrasing from my comments and the article, that meth is dangerous because of its heightened toxicity, poor regulation and high dosages.
You parroted that part coherently and then afterward concluded that, no, you were wrong in the first place?
I didn’t even look at your article. The way you phrase things makes it seem like Adderall has similar effects to meth. This couldn’t be further from the truth, hence why you have gotten so much shit for your other comments. The active ingredient may be somewhat similar but everything else that is in it drastically changes the way it affects people.
These kinds of half-truths piss me off to no end, people do this all the time when they complain about the apparent price change of insulin. Guess what, you can still buy the cheap insulin - it’s just utter dogshit compared to modern diabetes medication in which hundreds of billions had to be invested to get it where it is.
I already know what you want to type - people who are affected by diabetes shouldn’t have to pay bajillions to stay alive, not the point but nice try
You not reading is exactly how you’re manifesting “half-truths” that are simply facts(full-truths, if you will) that you don’t understand or don’t like.
I’m not “getting shit” for these comments, there is a bandwagon of people like you who don’t want to read, learn, or admit their ignorance, and they know that making things up, deliberately misphrasing or changing the topic will get them worthless internet points, which is easier than learning something new.
So count them up.
And just to follow up on your irrelevant and incorrect tangent about diabetes, no, people shouldn’t have to pay exorbitant and exploitative costs for any life-saving medication, and no it’s not because of the amount of investment it took to develop modern insulin.
Older insulin was not the “utter dogshit” you claim, modern insulin is slightly less allergenic and slightly more effective, but again they both are insulin, and the reason the price is higher even though the process is simpler today is because there are a few exploitative companies controlling the patents; in countries with regulated medication prices, it costs a few dollars over production cost to buy medication of any kind. In unregulated countries were greedy people can charge as much as they want, medicines cost much more than they should to simply extract value from the most vulnerable people.
That’s why medication costs different in different countries even though it is chemically identical.
Not sure why you chose such an easily disprovable point as the crux of your argument, but it does go hand in hand with your not reading or learning kick.

Plus when they made the wine they put some lsd in it
