Deal or No Deal?
  • This was an autistic guy living in the Seattle area about 15 years ago I think. He would post something like this almost word for word on Craigslist maybe every other day.

  • I sincerely hope nobody reads my post and decides to consume opiates. That is not my goal. I was just trying to point out that while some of us seem to have a mental barrier that prevents them from getting high off adderall, others of us it's our white whale of high we are chasing.

    For me, having recreationally used everything under the sun almost, adderall is the only drug I was ever an "addict" of beyond nicotine.

  • You made a few points. I will try to address them all, please point out if I missed any.

    1. no, there aren't a billion studies showing this.

    2)If people with ADHD are immune to getting high from it, that caveat of "at the reccomended dose" to prevent addiction wouldn't need to be applied. The only drugs people go ham on are the ones that get you high. Therefore, it is known by the medical community that recreational levels of these drugs do in fact get people with ADHD high.

    1. Most people diagnosed with ADHD were diagnosed as children. Its highly doubtful that they were already addicted to adderall and then faked their symptoms to get a prescription.

    2. its a party drug maybe for people who are too young to legally get into venues where actual party drugs exist. Maybe for a DND party. But a real party or venue? No. I understand fent has hit the streets hard, and perhaps that is pushing people who never experienced real party drugs into safer alternatives, as adderall is percieved to be. There may be a generational gap between us on this specific point.

    3. yes, it creates focus in literally everybody who takes it.

    I get it, the drug helps many people with ADHD, but the conversation can't only be framed as "people with ADHD can't get high or addicted to it," when the actual people who seek treatment for adderall addiction just so happen to be people who have ADHD. Nobody has ever lost their diagnosis because they got addicted to an addictive drug. I assure you of that.

  • I'm likely older than you and retired from the street drug consumption game.

    Believe me, I have tried opiates. They dont do anything for me. It's a better ibuprofin but robs you of the ability to poop.

    Believe me, my interest in researching the validity is zero, I'm just pointing out that there are people with ADHD who claim that adderall doesn't get them high, while at the same time, there are people with ADHD who are adderall addicts the moment they get the first pill ingested yet appear to have diminished or zero response whatsoever to opiates.

  • How some of us found out...
  • Well as I stated, recreational doses of street opiates (before cent became a thing that had to be worried about) have not once ever produced an effect on me, and I have had 30 day prescriptions of medical dosages last 2 years.

  • This gay veteran spent 2 years in jail because he had sex. He can finally get a pardon.
  • Trump's base are the cryptofascists who do not hide the fact that they are coming for the gays.

    Maybe providence didn't see fit to give you the choice of saving all Palestinian lives, but it certainly seems to be giving you the choice to save your own.

  • How some of us found out...
  • Its addictive for people with ADHD as well. There is a study from about a decade ago that researched and found over 50% of Americans incarcerated on methamphetamine charges were diagnosed as either ADD or ADHD.

    I once told a therapist that I was skeptical of my diagnosis based off how the moment I ingest adderall, my entire prescription will be gone within 9 days, she then told me that she had not once in all her years of practice met an adderall addict who didn't have an ADHD diagnosis. She did however point out that those who actually truly did seem to not get high from amphetamines were more likely to enjoy opiates recreationally, which kind of tracks, because despite trying on several occasions, I've never once felt the effects of recreational opiate usage and thus very likely immune to forming an abuse disorder if ever prescribed them long term.

  • The version of the 10 Commandments Louisiana mandates be in every classroom is not from the Bible. It is from a "formerly" racist organization called the Fraternal Order of Eagles.
  • From a cursury reading: the eagles club has never been a "racist" organization. That's just a byproduct of being upper crest "town and country" liberals in the 1800s.

    My understanding is that the Eagles' version of the ten commandments is the most widely used in American civic life since the 50s when the Eagles (an historically performing arts based fraternity) got it placed in the most seen version of The Greatest Story Ever Told in exchange for helping fund the nationwide ad campaign.

    The article and its headline are really grasping. The people trying to raffle you a car to raise money for hospitals are not the KKK nor are they on the level of the KKK or deserving of being called a racist organization. They are pretty much just the Freemasons without any of the heretical teachings. They are probably more right wing, but through classism, not necessarily racism.

  • Kyle Rittenhouse's family plead for money as they face eviction
  • Most of us struggle month to month, most of us dont attempt to leech blood money to unburden our struggle. Most of us don't run to the media to cry about how our murderthing fascist familial connection isn't letting us leech their blood money.

    If I was Kyle Rittenhouse, I wouldn't give a single dime to the people who created Kyle Rittenhouse. They created an unlovable twerp, they shouldn't profit from that.

  • Kyle Rittenhouse's family plead for money as they face eviction
  • Hasn't he raised enough money through charity to support his family? Isn't he currently filming an actual movie for Ben Shapiro's company? Was he not paid for that?

    The grift never ends with right wingers. If you have given them money once, they know you are a target to be bled dry, so they will just keep coming back for me.

  • Elon Musk has another secret child with exec at his brain implant company
  • I think Kim Kardashian once claimed to work like 12 hours a day, but we can look through the footage, the act of filming to her means that lunch with her mother and riding a quad in Hawaii counts as labor.
