A post about substituting "street drugs"? (discuss.online)

I came across a post on Reddit where a commenter implied they were using non-prescription drugs to manage their ADHD when they couldn't get a stimulant prescription for whatever reason.

Nobody would name the drug(s) for fear of being banned. From context it seemed some people were talking about a stimulant, and others marijuana. What might the stimulant be? Meth? If so, how would you dose that, and would it actually work?

I'm just curious, not intending to try it myself. I can get a prescription easily enough, and I have no desire to put myself in legal jeopardy. I am wondering if the meth version of amphetamine would work better, about the same, or not as well, though. I don't know the effects first-hand, but if it's anything like cocaine (I was an adult in the late 80s when coke was more popular), it doesn't seem like it would be helpful.

Could be that if illegal, or cocaine, or anything really. It won't work well since street drugs are inconsistent on top of not a medical professional involved to help with dosage.

Then there is the possibility of alterants, especially with meth.

Based on my deep knowledge of the methamphetamine trade (which comes entirely from watching "Breaking Bad" ), I'm sure you're right.
