I have been struggling
For a long fucking time
with why my adderall was having such uneven effects and varying efficacy
and the weird pattern of what made it work and not work and if it was building up in my system or not
and fucking nobody told me I shouldn’t drink a glass of Kool-Aid to take the pills with
or eat fucking Pop-Tarts or Life cereal
this is the most useful information I have ever received from tubr and it seems to be confirmed by several other places upon searching
so this actually should be spread like wildfire like actually

I know chugging orange juice can help getting speed out of your system from experience as a speed freak. This was street knowledge for a while now.
that’s cool when medical literature and street knowledge agree, IMO
If you’re gonna do hard drugs you’re gonna pick up medical knowledge cause otherwise you die.
