Dude, You'll get more buzz from Ritalin if you crush and snort it. The average absorbtion rate is only 30% when you swallow. So, if you can only sore Ritalin, snort it along with lots of coffee, Dexatrim, E, and MaHuang. Make sure the rave is near a hospital in case you heart rate and body temperature freaks and you stroke out or get real, real paranoid. Note, this is a sarcastic response and not offered as medical advice because you sound like a cop baiting people or a recreational drug user.
You may be at the wrong website. People here would love to just have a "normal" life. Party drug sites are elsewhere.
I have to agree with you that the FDA/DEA doesn't want people to have drugs that make them feel good or look good or take money away from the big political donators like drug companies, tobacco companies, alchohol companies, and the AMA. They are in it for the Benjamins. Like, why is Benedry sold over the counter where any kid can buy it and drive impaired, but he can't buy a couple beers and be just as impaired? Yet, you gotta go pay for a MD visit and then much more money for Claritin which is much safer and ought to be sold over the counter like it is in Canada. Another example is Prilosec for heartburn, that's expensive, safe, and requires a script, while Tagamet has many bad side effects including depression and lowering testosterone, and many bad drug interactions. The one with the allergy drug Seldane was so dangerous that Seldane was taken off the market. Seldane probably lost out to Tagamet because Tagamet made more money.
The FDA makes it so expensive to get approval for each use of a med that it seldom happens. Ritalin helps me when added to anti-depression drugs, even at a relatively low dose. Maybe I should have been diagnosed for ADD, but whatever, it helps.
> Could anything be more lame than ritalin for boosting energy, concentration, basically jumpstarting those 'ol dopamine reptors to get ya going? I mean come on, it's the weeniest of amphetamines known to man withe about the half life of a housefly, more like a 1/16th life.Adderol is more appropriate if you're getting in the neighborhood of CNS stimulents. Or why not follow Dr. Bob's advice, as posted clearly on his website and go all the way withe the much maligned desoxyn aka methamphetaphine which he says has considerably less side effects and a distly more expansive window of clarity. Oaaf course, it's been demonized because anything that works well may encourage the user to llcontinue using it, as opposed to something that starts to feel bad fairly quickly, thereby discouraging any sustained ingestion, but the fact that something feels good shouldn't necessarily be reason for prohibiting it.
