Many reasons, that's a different discussion. Note that you've gone from this statement, to acknowledging that they are regularly prescribed. > Imagining a doctor writing a script for meth is pretty amusing, and maybe if…
That statement is true of all amphetamines. Look, this is what I'm driving at, you appear to have some illusions that methamphetamine is significantly different than other amphetamines, or has some higher toxicity…
Not playing obtuse, trying to get you to say why you think it's so crazy. Section 3 of this 2019 paper has stats on meth (desoxyn) prescriptions https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.05.23.22275471v...
You most likely did far more than 50mg of methamphetamine. I just weighed a couple 20mg orange adderall pills, they're each around 0.2-0.3 grams (my scale is only accurate to 0.1g)
That is not what racemic means, ratios can exist. There's a whole section, "Single-Isomer Versus Racemic Formulation", in this recent review article titled "Novel Formulations of ADHD Medications: Stimulant Selection…
Why is it amusing? Because you think it has no therapeutic value?
Serotonegic? What does that even mean? For a given quantity, eg 1mg, of methylamphetamine vs d-amphetamine, the meth will release more serotonin?
The worst discussions we have on Hacker News are around healthcare and medicine. For some reason the community refuses to apply a high of research and rigor to this topic, as if it's lesser than the non-sense we call…
DEA isn't the issue here. The Justice Department brought the lawsuit against Purdue Pharma, and distributors are scared.
Higher potency, longer duration of action. If your goal was to get inebriated (drinking), would everclear be more effective than vodka?
Why does it blow your mind?
People who do a lot of meth tend to smoke it. Method of administration affects the time delay for euphoria. Smoke > Shooting > Eating. People who do a lot of meth (or drugs outside of a prescription) tend to do as much…
Bingo
Yeah, this guy doesn't know what he's talking about. If we just discussed this as d-amphetamine, l-amphetamine & methyl-amphetamine, the issue of interchangeability would be less confusing.
Adderally XR formulations are still a minority of prescriptions. Talking about methamphetamine as a different molecule is not helpful, as Adderall itself is not a single molecule. Which I suspect you know, as you…
I've tried both as well, and I suspect your lying to yourself about potency. I certainly didn't have a scale to measure the dosage to match say a 10mg orange adderall pill. By analogy, if you did a 75ml "shot" of…
Nah fam, this is fallout from Purdue pharma litigation, distributors are figuring out how to shield their future liability. Have a read here from people who work in the industry…

I said read the guidelines. Casually scanning the literature on pubmed shows babies that come out after IDK 39 weeks have sometimes not great outcomes, and it gets worse as time goes on. You say "the baby will come out…
A little over 800 per 100,000 in 1900 per CDC data. Infant mortality was 10% in 1915. https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm4838a2.htm
Dude, what common sense approaches about pregnancy do you think go against the scientific recommendations? Please take a look at the CDC data over the last century. In 1915 infant mortality was _10_ percent. Maternal…
Of course he hasn't. Imagine talking to this guy in the delivery room. "Evolution has selected for safe child birth, nuchal cord isn't a problem". At that point every professional in the room is thinking "How do we get…
I'm certainly an asshole, and drunk, but at least I can read and look up studies on pubmed. What are you even arguing about nuchal cords? They're common and we should ignore them? Who cares that the "complications" are…
Sure, patient (mother) gets to make decisions about what treatments they want, clinician advises them on the pros/cons of each option. Just pointing out squat birthing isn't the panacea some people paint it as. The…
Rate of complications will be the same, outcomes from those complications won't be the same. Accident rates on the highway might be say, equal among people who do/don't wear seatbelts, but outcomes are not. Look at…
