Small amounts of pot with amphetamines and ADD medication. Is this bad?

I have been smoking about once every 3 weeks, but I can't feel anything. I can't get red eyes no matter how much I smoke, and I usually do after about 3 bowls. I smoked about 8-9 bowls without any effects whatsoever.

I think this is because I have been taking 10g of Aderall as well as 40mg of Vyvanse, 200mg of Saraquel XR. I stopped taking them and it's been about a week. Drank some vinegar to get it out of my system a little faster.

Anyways, my questions are these. Do the drugs mentioned take the fun out of weed? Also, what drugs should I stay away from in the future so I can enjoy weed a lot more? (if any exist, that is) How long does it take for amphetamine to be cleared from your bloodstream? Is it really harmful if I combine these two?

Thanks for replying.

I don't consider having red eyes a sign that I'm high. Most people I know that smoke weed on a semi-regular basis don't get bloodshot eyes even if they smoke large amounts. Only if you haven't smoked for a while and then get really high will your eyes get red. Of course this varies from person to person and from strain to strain.

It sounds like you're experiencing tolerance to cannabis. Seroquel could be blocking the effects (although not completely) and Adderall (mixed amphetamines)/Vyvanse (a prodrug for dextroamphetamine/Dexedrine) can counter-act the sedative effects of cannabis. Personally I find amphetamines and cannabis to be a great combination. Can't say that about adding Seroquel on top, though.

Take a break from weed and then see how things go.
 
so you were prescribed 10g of Adderall as well as 40mg of Vyvanse, 200mg of Seroquel XR, and you stopped taking them all so you could start smoking weed again?

i hope you talked to your doctor first because being on 200mg of seroquel a day and amphetamines is a rlly big deal

imo, i would not feel much of anything smoking weed on that much meds

No, not necessarily. Once, quetiapine gets metabolized into Norquetiapine, it becomes a potent Norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor. Once your muscles start getting really sore and achy from taking Seroquel, that's when you have a problem.

Otherwise, it's perfectly safe to take together.

Based on the blood pressure raising, heart palpitation causing and huge increase in focus that Cannabis causes leads me to believe that a massive amount of Norepinephrine is released when Marijuana agonizes CB1. There's no (or limited) medical proof to back this up yet, however, I suspect that in the future we will find that Cannabis has the same effect as a Stimulant on Norepinephrine and Dopamine.

When we find that is the case, it will be proven that taking a Stimulant + Weed will cause you problems (very high blood pressure and heart rate, etc) BUT....until that day, go for it!

Amphetamines only takes 72 hours to completely leave your system. Its not at all unsafe to combine the two unless you have anxiety issues, in which case the combonation of speed and weed(if weed makes you paranoid) could maybe make you more anxious. There are really no drugs you should stay away from to enjoy weed at all, its pretty safe to combine with everything.

Yes its very likely the amps are counter acting your ability to get mega baked, which is seems to me is what your going for. I take around 40 mgs of adderall a day, occasionally more. I also have a high weed tollerance and I know that while I have a good addy buzz going I really cant get "baked". I can get high, and I often do smoke on a bowl while i go about my work, but I know that no matter what it will be very hard to get to that super baked level. And getting there is gonna waste a lot of my weed and in the end just kill the amp high.

If you are smoking only once every 3 weeks I doubt you ahve any tolerance so i dont think a tolerance break from weed will do you much good. What kind of weed you smoking?

Answers: yes, they probably are taking the fun out of it. your second question is beyond my jurisdiction. as I recall dextroamphetamine has a half life of around 10-12 hours (wikipedia is your friend). the combinations harm is difficult to ascertain; most likely its moderately stressful on the heart, and might precipitate a psychotic episode, especially if you're prone to that sort of thing, which I don't see why you wouldn't be given you're on one elephant of an ap.

Reports vary. Some can't get high while on an anti-psychotic, while some find they get less high yet a more enjoyable one (less anxiety/paranoia). The literature on this combination is scant at best. Although cannabis-induced psychotic disorders are unique compared to the currently accepted psychedelic-stimulant model, no doubt if one is on an anti-psychotic for a schizo-type disorder they would do themselves harm by smoking weed with a low cannabidiol level. Doctors just about universally agree on this. So please don't smoke if you have to take that :).

It doesn't make much sense on the face of it, because amphetamine appears to more than not attenuate or even eliminate the detrimental effects that pot has on cognition, yet amphetamine tolerance is partly mediated through cb1, and a significant portion of dopaminergic neurons at d2 interact with the cannabinoid system, etc, so it must have some complex, curious effect. It may displace the ratio of levels of various agonistic/antagonistic endocannabinoids in relative brain regions so that the net effect is one of cb1 antagonism, though I kind of doubt it. That some people find weed is useful for attention disorders displaces this idea, but the again some find anti-psychotics useful for the same.

My anecdote concurs with the one above, yet i must add that while on amphetamine I very rarely and only slightly become anxious/paranoid after smoking.
 
smoking weed after taking dexamphetamines is probably the single most productive combination involving weed in my opinion

idk about you guys, but I get the focus of the amps and all around happiness from weed, makes going to work pretty fun actually

great combo
 
Perhaps you just arent meant to smoke weed anymore. If you take 9 bowls to the head without a tolerance and you still dont feel it, you shoudlnt be smoking. It sucks but if smoking out doesnt get you high, you probably shoulnt do it.
