Hah, and it’s prescribed for ADHD, and all the other stimulants are amphetamine derivatives. Who are people kidding?
People with ADHD (like myself) don’t get the same effects from amphetamines as those without it. When someone with ADHD takes adderal it just makes them focused with a little euphoria when they initially begin taking it.
Yeah, sorry kid, you aren’t fooling anyone. I won’t have the same fight over and over.
As much as the world wants all of us to believe we are different, we are not:

Feel free to read through all the experiences and try your best to not lie that you are different. You have the same blood and organs like all of us, the same brain, the same nervous system. It doesn’t ‘affect’ you differently, it affects us all the same. The same way I don’t have cancer and if I were to take chemo, my hair would fall out still.
Full list:

You are free to Google Blulight forums for more testimonials. Reddit is also there. I get it, it makes it so you have a high paying job and let’s you do good in school. But just be honest about it, you’re taking a amphetamines and that shit affects everyone the same.
Excerpt:
T + 02:00 – T + 04:00 Pretty steady effects through here. The best of which was absolutely intense ability to focus. I mean locked the fuck in. The translation from eyes to mind was mindbogglingly fast. Unfortunately, these awesome effects were accompanied by consistently unpleasant effects. I was often sweating, but plagued by chills. My breathing sometimes became erratic as I would encounter a wave of stronger effects. This wasn’t extreme enough to become a true cause for concern, but it would break my concentration and make me a bit uncomfortable.
Yeah, that’s everyone on this thing, labeled adhd or not, we are just humans.

Yeah, it's not about you... it's the other people you may infect and kill. Kids are mostly fine... if only they didn't have teachers or parents.
Teachers and parents can get vaccinated themselves, no? I thought the vaccine works, doesn’t it?
Yes, it works for much of the population.
I've personally had 3 full doses, and I can't be sure of my own protection. I'm on medicine that moderately suppresses my immune system, and it is likely that I am not protected.
And I'm one of the lucky ones: Some folks simply can't be vaccinated or simply won't get any protection.
And this isn't even getting into the fact that the folks not getting vaccinated means there are more chances for the virus to change in ways that make the vaccine worthless.
Me - and others - depend on everyone that can get vaccinated to, well, get the freaking vaccine. Not getting the vaccine is putting others at risk. And this is with vaccines working as designed.

In Canada you can still buy that over the counter. You get id-ed and they keep a record of your purchases, but since it's now generic pills it is now much cheaper than it was before
It is the same in the US, but the FDA calls it "behind the counter". OTC means you grab it off a shelf yourself, BTC means the pharmacy checks your ID, and gives it to you, but still no prescription required. https://www.fda.gov/drugs/information-drug-class/legal-requi...
OTC just means "Over the counter" or "without a prescription". A good way to test this is to see if your health insurance in the US will pay for it - most won't pay for OTC drugs.
Behind the counter just means there is less chance of folks stealing it and more control over who buys it and the amounts they buy.
There is generally a good amount of things you can get at the pharmacy that are like this: Most of the time, they are simply ordered if someone wants them because there isn't enough demand to keep it on the shelf. Most require no ID either: Sweet almond oil (for ears) is the example I can think of.
Related: In some states, they require a prescription for it because their laws are stricter than the federal guidelines.

> I’m assuming “glass” is the meth and the “M30” pills are fentanyl? Correct. M30's are opiates pressed to look like percocet - when from the street, typically fentanyl or another potent opioid.
M30 refers to Mylin's 30mg roxicodone, which has been over the years been used as branding on fake roxicodones (pressed fetanyl).
I looked it up in case others are curious: genuine Percocet contains acetaminophen in addition to the oxycodone. The genuine Mylan pills do not contain acetaminophen, so are much better for abuse.

Tell me who needs 200-ct bottles of imodium. People who observe proper hygiene have food poisoning maybe once in 10 years (and whether a motility agent is a good idea in such cases is another question).
I have chronic gastrointestinal issues and the best "treatment" for them has been taking one every morning (on the recommendation of my GI doctor). This change has made it a lot more expensive and inconvenient to deal with.
In a just world, you'd get a 3 month supply covered like your normal prescription. It is an injustice that it isn't.

What should happen when someone violates the legal protocols in which they're controlled? Meth is already legal, in actuality. It's just controlled in production and distribution and only available by prescription. There are millions in America taking legal meth right now.
Adderall is not meth. It's close - but it's not meth. And meth isn't that bad unless you smoke it, especially in huge dosages - and the vast, vast majority of Adderall users are not smoking it - or taking massive doses.
I wasn't talking about adderall. Desoxyn is literally methamphetamine and available by prescription.

Methylphenidate is a non amphetamine derivatived stimulant, and is widely used for ADHD treatment.
Have you ever taken Ritalin? I’ve taken it along with XR version of Concerta. I can paste the wiki stuff about how it’s essentially similar to Meth, but I get it, it hurts peoples feelings.
Look, you can’t bullshit someone that’s been on this stuff, it’s a serious drug.

AFAIK, meth actually is produced as a legal drug called Desoxyn, but I'm not sure its very commonly prescribed. I think its kind of used as a last resort for ADHD or obesity.

I didn’t get IDed either of the times I’ve bought a box. First time was in 2019: I went to Walmart for something for my ears on flights, after some back and forth the pharmacist recommended me pseudoephedrine. Second time was in Sobeys last month (can fly again, yaaay) and I asked for it directly. The pharmacist had some trouble finding it, but sold it to me with no further issue.
Keep an eye out if you purchased Sudafed PE or Sudafed original. PE is a new product that has old fashion Acetaminophen and is sold just like any other painkiller since that's all it is. It doesn't work well at all compared to the pseudoephedrine found in the behind the counter product.
This isn't true.
Sudafed PE is phenylephrine. It is not a pain killer, and it does not have the same safety profile as acetaminophen (Paracetamol for some of you). Not saying either is actually unsafe, but the drug interactions will most definitely differ and you might find yourself suffering.
I totally agree that it doesn't work very well.
