Adderall and cannabis use

[IceMadness]

Ive been taking 40-50 mg daily adderal xr usually oral as well as nasal as well as smoking from an 8th to a Half of high potency weed ( Purple kush, Sour d, Og kush, Red rooster, white widow, etc) everyday for the last 7-8 months. Also 150-200 mg seroquel + weed + alcohol (not every time) to go to sleep. My question is what damage can i except from mixing these drugs? ive been trough a heavy speed and coke addiction...now only stimulant i do is prescribed adderral and a few lines from time to time. Ive been noticing side effects such s incressed paranoia, incresed agressivity, depersonlisation. I dont know very well about adderall and pot combined use, so if someone can please help me, it would be very appreciated

i love smoking weed all day on amphetamines. in fact, today i took 30mgs mixed amp salts (adderall), some sub, and some xanax.

marijuana and amphetamines both increase dopamine in the brain, but through totally different mechanisms. you should completely fine mixing marijuana and amphetamines. i love the combo because the amps keep me getting too tired from the weed so i can smoke all day :D

...but im not sure if you want to take advice from me seeing as i am a poly-drug abuser and drugs haven't got me that far in the life...lol now im amphetamine rambling !! going to smoke some weed %)

You can certainly be concerned about poly-drug addiction; not a road you want to go down;

If you are really taking amps every day during the day and taking seroquel + weed + booze every night to get to sleep then this is bad news. You don't want to be stuck where you can't function without a stimulant in the morning and a sedative at night.

On days when you run out of one or the other there may be increased anxiety, insomnia, paranoia, restlessness, perhaps nausea and headaches.
No one can say exactly when you are over stepping the lines, how much is too much etc.. that all depends from person to person but its important for you to understand that there are definite consequences of the drugs you are taking. Not to say you can't keep taking them but I would seriously consider the rate at which you are taking them. Definitely try to tone it back so its not an every day thing.

If you are one who is prone to paranoia and anxiety already then stims + weed may increase the likely hood of anxiety - however that also differs form person to person. You sound like someone who really enjoys weed, as do many, so then I'd assume you don't find that it causes anxiety. For many people weed causes anxiety, however for many people it eases their anxiety - such a wonderful plant

i do enjoy weed, it helps me with anxiety, but i know its not whitout consequence. I am addicted to all of those substances.....i also mix weed + alcohol +adderall 2 -3 times a week. But it seems like if i just smoke weed, im not high enough.

I would imagine that using a dopaminergic drug such as Adderall would increase the chances of paranoia etc and even psychosis when combined with weed, so if you are already starting to feel some ill effects I would consider stopping this combination..

Sounds like you've discovered poly-drug use. A slippery slope indeed.

I never liked smoking while peaking on any stims...just made me feel...weird.

But on the comedown, weed is fantastic. For the most part, it's a safe combo, but still be careful and make sure it's not causing any palpitations or heart pain.

Benzos + speed + cannabis + alcohol sometimes = fine when used sparingly and optimally for certain situations

Can be dangerous though, especially depending on dosages, so don't go crazy kids. :O
