    Yeah, I really don’t understand taking amphetamines for recreational use. It’d be like putting on my work pants to go to a party.

      If you take enough at once, you’ll start to feel really giddy & sociable for about 5 hours, and that works well for parties. It’s kinda like mollies but without the synesthesia. It’s an awesome feeling. In fact, it’s too awesome: there’s a serious risk of getting addicted to a dose that’s well above what’s considered therapeutically safe & useful.

      Furthermore, the comedown is a 48-hour nightmare of perpetual executive dysfunction, followed by a week or two of increased tolerance, which might make you wonder why you ever decided to do something so fucking stupid in the first place with meds that you actually need in order to properly function.

      I fully understand taking it for recreational use, but I don’t recommend it.
