    No the fuck it does not. They are both stimulants, that’s effectively where the similarities end. A prescribed dose of adderal will not even come remotely close to the effects of recreational meth use.

      20mg of Adderall and 20 mg worth of europaste will have similar effects.

      The latter is taken recreationally.

        A high recreational dose would provide effects closer to a usual dose of meth. Not the same, but closer. The reason I dislike the comparison is because most people won’t understand that and will simply think adderal and meth are effectively the same as they are normally used.

        Use of adderal as prescribed is not even remotely close to as dangerous as recreational meth use. I’m trying to prevent people from thinking that’s the case.

        The similarities between the two drugs simply come from the fact they are both stimulants. The comparison can be made between any two stimulants. The reason adderal and meth are used is because of the stigma adderal has. The comparison perpetuates that stigma despite having very little actual relevance.

          But then this is what doesn’t really fly:

          No the fuck it does not. They are both stimulants, that’s effectively where the similarities end.

          They are actually very similar when used recreationally, which is the context of the post.
