<p>Linzoy, yes, adderall is made from amphetimines but that doesn’t mean it’s the same as speed. Have you ever seen a person on speed? It’s not even close to what someone who just took a 20 mg xr of adderall is like. And don’t tell me it’s about dose, I’ve got you covered there too. I was at one point taking about 130 mg of adderall a day (I have narcolepsy, the doses are much higher) and I still wasn’t having “on speed” effects. </p>
<p>So, I will reiterate, adderall is NOT speed. It’s quasi speed, at the most. </p>
<p>Saying many people can learn to function as normal human beings without drugs is a dangerous slippery slope. It leads to the idea that if people just “tried harder” they wouldn’t have to deal with the effects of ADD, which, for the vast majority, is completely untrue. </p>
<p>And you are right, it is addictive, but it’s level of addictiveness varies on 1. the way it’s taken, and 2. (and more importantly) an individual’s metabolism.</p>
