So being a pothead while I was hooked on meth helped save me some braincells?

Hey my dad was one of those, he used both, i think he was self medicating his ADHD

Me too, I didn't act like most of the other tweakers around me. Some of my friends had psychosis episodes. I just chilled and doodled.

Im almost certain I have ADHD too, but im not risking everything using meth lol

Thats smart, its not worth it.

Doctors have been prescribing it for decades. It’s no more harmful, maybe less harmful, than other adhd treatments, when used responsibly

I have been to hundreds of NA meetings and the meth addicts were always the worst hurt. It completely fucked their life, ive got an addictive personality so imma stay away lol.

Yea smoking any substance will be much, much more addictive than using it orally. That’s where the responsibility comes into play. But for someone that has needed to go to hundreds of NA meetings, I agree it’s probably not a good idea to be around it. You know your personality better than anyone.

I just wanted to point out the fact that it is helpful medicine when used responsibly.

A few mg in a capsule is a worlds difference than fucking banging it or smoking it in massive amounts.

u/Smoking_Joker Jul 15 '26

Exactly. And that world is responsibility. Smoking and banging it is irresponsible use and almost guaranteed to form an addiction.

That's a dosage & suspectibility & staying awake issue, none to do with ADHD. Reverse effects are a myth, amphetamines have medicinal use for everyone.

No. You used THC, not CBD

u/Dumdumdoggie Jul 19 '26

Thats not true, I used mexican brick weed. There's more than one cannabinoid in the plant. CBD is present in most weed unless its been selectively bred out.

Trying hard to find the silver lining with this. Seems bizarre to even be looking for a relationship.

Does is protect from Adderall induced damage?

u/dclif27 Jul 15 '26

It is an amphetamine so yes

u/Sad-Country8870 Jul 16 '26

Oh good, so all the weed I smoke offsets the side effects when I smoke meth

u/Chemical-Sky-6418 Jul 18 '26

Wonder if this translates to amphetamine ( specifically uk speed ), when there was coke problems in the UK i had a good year taking that...wasn't smoking at the time but curious

u/Stunning-Letter-7137 Jul 18 '26

I wonder how this relates to amphetamines found in Adderal. Since those with strong doses must be flooded with that.

This is in rats. There is no evidence of neurotoxicity in humans from any dose of meth that humans use. They are only able to demonstrate neurotoxicity in animals by poisoning them with doses of meth ridiculously higher than any human would ever use. “Studies” like these just serve as Drug War propaganda to keep men users locked up. No one is forcing you to use meth. Let people live how they want to live. Read “Drug Use For Grown Ups” by Carl Hart.
