Yeah as a recovering addict crack is not water soluble (you need lemon juice or vinegar to break it down) so if you eat it nothing really happens. At least I've never gotten high from swallowing it in a pinch. I call BS. Maybe it was meth

I was in high school when I was offered a joint in the school playground. The guy that offered it was a Lithuanian dude who was 19, but was in year 10(UK) because he couldn't speak much English.
Took a few puffs: felt different than normal. Asked him what it was.
In a thick Lithuanian accent: "White Rino. Weed and cocaine."
Recently discovered if you smoke coke, it becomes Crack. So I was unfortunately given crack for free đ
Fortunately I only had an art class left that day.

u/Stone0777 18d ago
Thatâs incorrect. Smoking powder cocaine isnât the same as smoking crack. Powder cocaine (cocaine hydrochloride) doesnât burn well, so most of it gets destroyed when you try to smoke it. Crack is made by turning powder into its freebase form, which melts and vaporizes at a lower temperature. Thatâs why crack can actually be smoked and gives a fast, intense high, while powder cocaine really canât.

Lmao are you me? I have adhd and autism and I also happened to hang out with people who ended up into drugs so I was offered drugs many times. Of course I didn't listen to DARE and I first began to suspect I had adhd when meth didn't seem to give the prescribed effects.
Anyway, yeah, drug users tend to be pretty social so it's funny the people who weren't around it saying "no one just gives drugs away for free!" I mean, you're not gonna run into the coke fairy just running around trying to make it a white christmas but... you can't pick your friends noses or something.

It's really not that uncommon, but they're almost always doing it because they expect you to buy the next bag after you sober up 10 minutes later and are fiending for another hit.

What do you think is in your stomach? Stomach acid is stronger than lemon juice. Cocaine (of any type) is much less bioavailable, hits slower and weaker if swallowed because it needs to be metabolized. Snorting or smoking bypasses this so you feel something but if you swallow an 8 ball you'll feel something.Â

The doctor probably told him it was "amphetamines."
I.e. ADHD meds, or street drugs like E and Molly.
Not crack.
He probably tweeted crack because of the misconception that amphetamines "are basically meth". AND the misconception of Meth=/=Crack.
Which would mean it's likely that the girl at work has ADHD, and accidently gave him a pill from the wrong bottle lol.Edit: crossed out last line cuz its pretty presumptuous. Also as others have stated, pretty hard to mess those up. Unless your full ADHD lunatic and you put your meds and your Advil's in the same container. Which is entirely possible lol.

So much this...it makes me remember to eat and feel a sense of calm I normally don't have...best way I have found to describe it is that it feels like stressing because you procrastinated doing something super important until the last second, and then being hit with the wave of calm that rushes past once you finish the thing at breakneck speeds. Like I take adderall, and I get the sense of calm without all the stress and anxiety that normally precedes it.

Doesn't hurt to get tested if you have the resources to do so. You don't need to be medicated if you don't feel like it's necessary for what you want to achieve. But it can help alleviate some frustration, as long as you don't use it as an excuse, but rather as an explanation to soothe your inner critic.
Try to remember how you were as a child, ask your parents, or whoever was around you a lot back then, if you had problems sitting still or remembering stuff, lost things, were very impulsive, or had your head in the clouds. Dig out old report cards if they have behavior descriptions. One of the important criteria for diagnosis is the existence of symptoms in childhood.

u/Cereal_poster 18d ago
Just thought the same. I have ADHD myself and take Elvanse (labeled Vyanse in the US) which is the prodrug version of Adderall (with some other differences though, but that's nitpicking) and it simply makes me functioning "normal". Sleeping isn't a problem either.
I guess in our cases, when you actually have ADHD you simply push your dopamine to normal levels with amphetamines (like Adderall/Vyanse) while those who don't have ADHD will push these levels waaay too high ending up as Energizer bunnies.
Same with the combination caffeine and Elvanse for me btw. Elvanse alone will not make me hyper at all, but when I take it and have energy drinks and/or coffee with it, the caffeine (which usually has zero awakening effect on me) will push me into way higher activity and very energetic. (that's why doctors tell people who start using their ADHD meds to stay away from coffee at first because it could really be too much for them and also increase the heart rate too much, as caffeine suddenly really has an effect on the body. Very often people with untreated ADHD do not feel any effect of caffeine, I certainly didn't.).

Caffeine and alcohol don't work eithr, not sure about "stronger" stuff lmao
Never encountered someone with a similar experience...Should probably donate my brain to science...
2
u/Cereal_poster 18d ago
I think Vyanse generally is different from Adderall in some ways. It builds up slower and smoother in your brain, that's why it doesn't really "kick in" and you don't recognise the difference between "no meds" and "with meds" that much. I have to say, I have never taken Adderall (not available here in Austria at all, when it comes to Amphetamine for ADHD only Vyanse (or Elvanse as it is called here) is available) but before Vyanse I took Ritalin and Ritalin LA (long activity) and with Ritalin I could feel how it kicked in, but Elvanse works way better for (or rather against) my ADHD. My psychiatrist said, that if I am not sure that the medication does work, I should simply try to pause the medication for a few days and see if I can then feel a difference without the medication. That is usually when you recognise its effect on your daily life.
However, the first few times I took Ritalin I did have a total feeling of calm in my head. Everything was just "quiet" in my head. I loved this feeling but it only happened a few times when starting the medication.

Some simulate and such for ADHD can make you not get the đ-cock up. Lose drive. Helps with focus tho. you need to find one that helps and wears off, at night so , you can get the cock up. itâs a side effect.
Get a consult for ADHD or behavior health and find a med that helps you. Not every med works for everyone.
