Stimulants Is it dangerous to eyeball a dose of amphetamine?

Seeing as amphetamine is a lot cheaper than Adderall, I figured I would use it as a study aid. If I had a gram of pretty pure amphetamine, would it be dangerous to eyeball out 20-30mg? I was going to take off a small bit and see where that gets me before adding more into my body. On another note, is amphetamine more of a dirty street drug than Adderall, making it less useful for studying? Thanks for any help!
 
you got the amp in mass, I assume - so yeah, it's probably not nearly as clean as you think.

Adderall is a pharmaceutical, it's of course cleaner - in fact, cleanest you can find.

To say it is safe to eyeball an unknown quality and quantity of any amphetamine is a risk. You've got some wisdom right - you can also dose up, you can never dose down.

I would not say it's less useful for studying, it'll likely make you feel much more stimmed up then adderall (combination of dextroamphetamine and amphetamine)
 
I do not advise the procurement of street amphetamines for the treatment of subjective ADHD. You would need a scale to reliably measure out doses; also, you can never be certain of the potency of what you're getting.

Methamphetamine is the common analog of methamphetamine used on the street; ostensibly, you can compare the follow differences between an oral dose of 25mg. of racemic amphetamine salts (Adderall) and 25mg. of methamphetamine:

1. Methamphetamine has a lot more SERT activity; this could cause you to lose focus as it promotes more well-being/euphoria and counters the DA/NE release.
2. Methamphetamine will have a longer duration and take longer for onset.
3. Methamphetamine will feel more potent, 1.5x as much; however, methamphetamine will feel a lot smoother and honestly a lot more enjoyable than Adderall.

I would advise, as a pure study aid, something that pushes only DA/NE release with perhaps adrenal effects-- this way you're "forced" to study rather than experience pleasure. Also, from a harm reduction standpoint, street amphetamines will be more toxic than their pharmaceutical counterparts.

Tread wisely.
 
I would say it's safe as long as you exercise extreme caution. I say that based on my experience with getting grams of heroin and eye balling doses of that. If I was able to do that, I don't see why you couldn't do the same with amphetamine. Just be sure to start very very small and work your way up.
 
This place has surprised me with how many people actually measure out their doses. I guess I'm from the old school where eyeballing was the only way. But at the same time all of my intake has been recreational so I suppose if you are actually trying to treat something there probably is an advantage to keeping track.
