Do fluorinated amphetamines just suck, or what? Are racemic amphetamines better?

I've read people praise 2-FA and 2-FMA to the heavens, or describe it to be akin to a substitute for Dexedrine. What the hell are they on about?

Right now, I have a supply of 3-FA (supposedly) and Dexedrine, and the latter supply is dwindling. I understand that any FA is racemic and "less fun" than their hypothetical d-amp analogues, but it seems as though the FAs are just weak regardless. For me, a 150mg oral dose of 3-FA was a fart in the wind compared to a 30mg of dextroamphetamine. The disproportionality seems to indicate that this isn't a tolerance issue, so what's the deal?

I'm considering a racemic mixture of amphetamines in lieu of 2-FA to supplement my dextroamphetamine. For anyone who's tried both: how do they compare? Is my problem simply a frustration with the racemic and impure nature of these drugs, or is old school amphetamine simply superior?

I found 4-fa to be way more euphoric than plain amphetamine with far fewer side effects. It was just too euphoric to get anything useful done though, I wouldn't take more than a threshold dose with the hopes of using it to study or do anything productive. As far as 2-fa goes It was the opposite.

Less euphoria than 4-fa but a much better productivity drug. When compared to amp/dexamp I would easily choose the latter over 2-fa although I would personally take 4-fa over all. 3-fa was complete shit and I never tried 2-fma. Never tried any of these in combination with the exception of 2 and 4-fa... I preferred to take each separately depending on what I planned on using them for.

Maybe I'm reading your post wrong but are you saying that all you've taken is 3-fa and you're wondering why people praise 2-(f)ma? If so they are vastly different from 3-fa, which is regarded as one of, if not, the worst flourinated amphetamine. Try each separately and determine whether or not you enjoy them. I'd say most would prefer dexamp and possibly even racemic amp over all.

I've tried all three. I can't even distinguish the difference between 2 and 3, and I don't like messing with methyl- anything.

Yes, fluoridated amphetamines (racemic or dextro) do generally suck when compared to their non-fluorinated counterpart amphetamines (racemic or dextro), but methyl is where it's at.

I never really got much out of 4-FA, personally. That's the only one I've ever tried.

2-FMA was a super clean stimulant for me, more so then adderall. It's probably the best "study" I've ever taken. Though I never used it for that purpose... I've never tried any of the 3-s though. Only 2-FMA, 2-FA, 4-FA and 4-FMA (which was dirty and seems to have disappeared a long time ago).

4-FA however is awesome. Extremely euphoric. Like Plasticity said, too euphoric to try to get shit done on it. It's like a mix between speeding and rolling.
