Pink speed UK

As you aren't abusing it, no, you don't need to notify the DVLA. This PDF is a detailed overview of the whole policy. Its aimed at medical professionals, but any layman should be able to understand it https://www.gov.uk/government/uploa...file/325275/healthcare-profs-drug-driving.pdf The DVLA just needs to know if it's a drug dependence or if it's methadone

This PDF covers drug driving and the "medical defence" https://www.gov.uk/government/uploa...file/325275/healthcare-profs-drug-driving.pdf As you can see over 250mcg/L of blood is an offense IF you don't have a prescription. As you do, it shouldn't be an issue if you're pulled over UNLESS you really were driving dangerously, or had been up for 7 days and were hallucinating or some shit.

Brilliant cheers for that mate.

I got confused because on this page here it says you need to declare ADHD if it affects your ability to drive: https://www.gov.uk/adhd-and-driving

Strictly speaking, it does. If I'm not on my meds I can't concentrate fully. But medicated I'm absolutely fine, probably keeping more of an eye on the road than most.

Looking at UK ADHD forums I saw a lot of conflicting info there as well. Some threads saying you'll get in trouble later on if you don't tell the DVLA and get into an accident and the insurance will refuse to pay out. Others saying it only has to be declared if you literally cannot drive at all because of it.

I'll read the PDF. Since I'm sticking to my scripted dose and not doing anything stupid that'd make me see shadow people on the road I should be well within the law then. Might get my GP to write up a letter to keep in my car just in case confirming the script and the dose.

Main thing I'm honestly worried about with those drug tests is cannabis. They look for 5mcg/L of blood. I could get done for smoking a joint last week even if I'm 100% sober at the wheel. That's mental especially when the penalty is an automatic 12 month driving ban.

Utterly stupid law if you ask me. Like the PDF says it was already an offence to drive while impaired from using drugs. That's sensible, they should punish people for driving while impaired. The new law doesn't care if the drug makes you impaired or not and has a harsh penalty. Idiotic legislation.

I pretty much packed up weed altogether when the new laws came into force. I didn't drive stone mind you, I just cannot risk loosing my licence. I think the limit is 2 mcg/l not 5. I'm not sure that there would still be that much THC in the blood after a day or two for occasional tokers, daily users probably a different story. I agree it is poor legislation with no basis on actual impairment, its probably designed to punish drug users as much as anything!

Yh sorry - cannot help you just saw it as an excuse to rinse a fantastic record I havn't heard in years.

Damn right, I guess the OP was a bit blind by that foul text to see the screen right OR to pick upon a small hint

"Mitsubishi oh lord have mercy, trippin....trippin....trippin on a......

Afternoon!

I recently picked up some speed that was like rocket fuel, it wasn't like the usual paste, it was really dry and crumbled really easily. It like was like flat flakes.

Certainly hit the spot!

Got one mate. Not cheap to do though. Had to do it privately to avoid waiting years for an NHS referral. But I now have hundreds of dexxies on repeat.

Just feel bad for them guys having to use street speed with 90% caffeine and 10% random RC's. Not everyone can afford private specialists and amphetamine is honestly such a clean functional stim, should be wider access.

I don't even abuse mine. I actually have ADHD so I take it exactly as prescribed. Still get a little euphoria off it when I take breaks over the weekend and go back to it on Monday. But mostly it helps me get shit done. Love it. Such a utilitarian drug.

Slightly off-topic but do you drive by any chance? I'm in the process of getting my license but I've read so much conflicting info about if the DVLA needs to know about my script. I know they do those roadside drug tests these days but is keeping a letter from my doctor and a repeat slip in my car enough for those?

Yeah i have adhd too and mostly take as preswcribed but occassionally play up on them

I am in Australia and it does not affect your driving. In fact no prescription drugs so.

 

[Wilson Wilson]

Lucky Aussies, the UK laws on driving are much more strict even if you got a script and are not impaired. If you go over your scripted dose, even if you are unimpaired at the wheel, you can still get a 12 month driving ban.

Anyway I'm derailing the topic. Back to amphetamine! Here's a fun fact, there actually exists in the UK a dexamphetamine 1mg/ml oral solution. I have absolutely no idea who's dick you need to suck to get a bottle of that but fucking hell can you imagine?

And here I am like a pleb with my 5mg tablets.

 

[Si Dread]

again, lucky bugger. The last tabs I got in were 2.5mg each.

I guess having ADHD is a drag but from here you look like an unfeasably lucky bugger! Lol I just source Dexdrine from the dnms when the urge takes me. Can't afford many though!

 

[Wilson Wilson]

I don't think they actually make the 2.5mg tablets anymore. I've read from some sites that 5mg are the only dose they make but according to NICE they do 5mg, 10mg, and 20mg, although the 5mg are the most common strength by far and the only dose with multiple generics. In children they recommend a 2.5mg dose to start off with but I imagine they just tell parents to cut the 5mg in half.

And yes I am a very lucky bugger. DNM prices for dex are crazy. Unsurprising though considering their rarity in the UK.

Was pretty shit having untreated ADHD for most of my life up until a few years ago. I used to just bosh caffeine to deal with it which sort of worked but as you can imagine it made me very anxious and was overall unpleasant. Still find it ironic that dexamphetamine is cleaner and causes less anxiety than a can of Red Bull.

it's craxy (read: great) how many people - adults - i seem to know over here with dexamphetamine scripts.

i mean, shit - last year i was in a band which had 2 members who have dex scripts.

as you can imagine, we were incredibly prolific songwriters who would jam for 8+ hours without taking a break
it's the only non-meth amphetamine i've come across in the last 2-ish years - sulphate is rare to non-existent in australia, and meth is not something many of us can use sustainably or functionally...so i greatly appreciate having a source of dexamp sulphate - especially pharma grade. clean, reliable - and it does what it says on the tin every time.

 

[Wilson Wilson]

Agreed, it's hard to beat pure pharma dexamphetamine. You know exactly what it is, it does what it says on the tin, and it is very effective at its job without stringing you out like the street stims do. Although meth is virtually unheard of in the UK and I've never really known anyone to use it. We're a nation of cokeheads but the same goes for that - overpriced, impure, bad comedowns, short duration, and makes you chat shite rather than get anything done. It's a very different animal to pure pharma dex which is just better for functionality.

I think dexamphetamine scripts would be more common in the UK too if the NHS actually put more resources into treating adult ADHD. They are pretty relaxed about stimulant prescribing once you're diagnosed. The bottleneck is actually getting a diagnosis to begin with.

I'm not sure how the Aussie healthcare system works but I can only imagine it's easier to actually get assessed for ADHD without choosing between waiting years or paying out the arse.

I had a script years ago and went off it. Doing a lot of writing and some other stuff so went back on. I prefer it to meth. It's not neurotoxic, its pure and known dose. I gave a couple of mates a few and now they want to buy all i can spare. Sorry boys. You can have a monthly pressie. I saw Biscuit break down exactly how good they are comparing them to 1:1 cut amphet sulphate which is usually how its released by the labs. That may be racemic meaning 50% of the amphet does nothing. The d5's are fucking awesome

You have to see a psychiatrist, get a diagnosis which if you have it isnt hard but they will not be conned easily. I am lucky i have all my school reports from infants primary and right through highschool. Its a case study in adhd

 

[Wilson Wilson]

Interesting. Over here you have to see not just any psychiatrist but an ADHD specialist. How strict they are seems to vary depending on who you see but my guy just gave me two 20 minute sessions where he asked me some standard questions. He got my parents to fill out a form about my childhood behaviour for the second session. Then in that same session he drops a script in my hand, done.

I got that done privately and it was a piece of piss, but getting it done on the NHS would have required years of waiting because ADHD specialists are few in number and resources allocated to adult ADHD in particular are tiny.

The prescription pattern usually goes Concerta > Elvanse > Strettera > the coveted dexxies.
