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.

So ur telling man Walt n Jesse were operating a Desoxyn business for unmedicated people with adhd all along?

Also it's crazy to me how such a drug so destructive can be used to treat a condition like adhd so effectively with little to no reported side-effects, puts into perspective how different my brain's acc wired and how many dopamine receptors I'm missing

I mean, dose is a massive factor. The average meth addict is NOT using ~5-30mg per day like someone who is using a stimulant medicinally in order to perform their job functions or focus in school.
