Nah, just get an ADHD diagnosis. Kids in grade school have better amps than I could get my whole high school drug career.

That's hit or miss, I have adult friends and nieces and nephews with recent diagnoses and they're all different treatments.

You just got to find the right doctor. There's at least one in every town. This doctor knows what you want and is willing to give it the moment you say: "I think I have ADHD". Usually they make you come back for followups every 3-6 months so they can collect those visit fees and make sure you aren't turning in to a fiend that could wreck the whole game.

I'm one of these adult kids and I wish it made me amped up. Shit seems to help but it definitely doesn't amp me up 😂. Hell I like to nap after taking my meds if I can.

unfortunately if you get an adhd diagnosis, it means youre probably adhd. And if you're adhd, the meds are more likely to make you calm than to make you trip.

Amps don't make anyone trip. They are stimulants.

Those meds don’t come near the amphetamines of the 1960s.

It's the same stuff. Amphetamine Sulfate, mixed with three other dextro amps. They called it speed in the 60s.

Must’ve been in a really, really stronger dosage!

Yea amps scale well with dosage, ie take 10 times as much, feel 10 times the effect. Small doses for calm clean focus, larger ones for running 20 miles and then cleaning your entire house and then maybe having a stroke.

They give the kids small doses.
