COLUMN A (Uppers):

-Methamphetamine
-Adderall (Dextroamphetamine)
-Ritalin (Methylphenidate)
-Ephedrine
-Pseudoephedrine
-Phentermine
-Caffeine
-Concerta (And other shitty ADD meds go here)
-Khat

COLUMN B (Downers):

-Hydrocodone
-Oxycodone
-Diazepam
-Alprazolam
-Tramadol
-Kratom
-Codeine
-Alcohol
-Poppy pod tea
-Opium

HINT:

If you take any substance from column A, and mix it with any substance from column B, It will not be a speedball. I

HINT 2:
If you take any substance that is not heroin and mix it with any substance that is not cocaine, it will also not be a speedball.

Just a friendly public service announcement. Why do I care? Its a insult to a proper speedball to compare it to any of that other crap. there is only one speedball. and its fuckin amazing. So stop callin every damn stimulating drug done with a depressant, a speedball. It just confuses people and dont make sense.

Nobody would call doing DMT with mushrooms "candyflipping" just becuz candyflipping is acid and E both psychedelics, and the DMT+shrooms is taking two psychedelics together.

Nobody would say that they are taking DXM, and smoking a cigarette and call it smokin a dippy (pcp dipped cig) just cuz they have a dissociative in their body at the same time as they are smokin a cigarette.

nobody seems to have a problem callin shit what it is when it come to things like that, So why does everybody use speedball like its some kind of generic term for any kind of up + down drug combo?
 
Cause 'speedball' sounds sooo cool and badass. :)

Seriously, I think some people like to talk-up their drug use to sound like gangsters or something. Or it's a simple case of being misinformed.

Nice comprehensive list, laceyk. Maybe there should be some version of it in DB, too.
 
^^Yea tru dat.

But at the same time it seems less ignorant IMO to misuse the word speedballing for someone whose doin some non-shooting variation of usin coke and dope together, than it seems for someone whose just randomly pickin uppers and downers together to refer to it as that. its still wrong, but at least its close. not just pullin some shit outta ur ass. Do u agree?
 
1 question
for something to be close to a speedball it would have to be a short acting stim? like what i used to do is. drink 8 redbulls pop about 120 mg of oxy at the 2nd redbull and drink the rest.
so am i correct that for something to be close to speedball it has to be a short acting stim?
 
Yeah, if I ever hear speedball in real life among users, it means heroin+coke IVed. People on here use it to mean whatever... Sort of how "dope" is used.

You'll never hear an oldhead user talking about an intranasal Adderall+Xanax speedball.

The internet has a way of creating and propagating slang, even if it's wrong. :\

No their point was that this is not a speedball...nothing but IV heroin and cocaine is a speedball. Everything else is something else. Hell, invent your own name for it, but don't call it a speedball. lol.
 
mmm, cooking it, banging it, that freight train in my head, then the smooth high with no sketch...... nooooo, can't stand them myself.=D

Yes. Too good. Good coke and heroin booted in one warm shot to the brainstem is the most euphoric chemical cocktail I've ever experienced.<3 8) =D :| 8o

I would have to disagree, I would say, IV'n a different upper and downer, could come closer to the speedball experience than taking heroin + Coke via a different route.

The IV rush has a lot to do with it. Especially considering this ensures both drugs take effect simultaneously, where as, snorting coke + heroin, or via some other route, may result in the drugs 'peaking' at different times and completely diminish the experience.

I think the idea of mix'n the two up together in the one shot, is absolutely nessacary to create the true experience.
 
Although I totally agree with you, Lacy, I must say that IVing heroin at the comedown of meth binge felt exactly like H + C in 1 syringe, so I don't know...

And I agree with MC: I don't think the human body is capable of feeling more pleasure than it could with a speedball...
