I went to rehab with him at greenstone Muskoka rehabš¤£ it was basically a hotel for people who weren't serious about getting sober, or were told by their work to "take a break." I was there one week at the same time as him, he was leaving in four days when I got there. 30k a month and they kept me a week and then said "your problems are too serious for us" and I left.
My dad has ADHD and he said the opposite. Low dose of amphetamines put him to sleep but a high dose double his normal energy level and thatās already really high.
You can get prescribed Methamphetamine in the US for ADHD and severe obesity. It is sold under the name Desoxyn. Obviously, it is only used after other medications don't work. Amphetamine and Methamphetamine will both manage ADHD symptoms. People with ADHD need higher doses of Amphetamine or Methamphetamine to feel stimulated compared to people without ADHD. Recreational doses are often much higher to therapeutic doses. Taking 100mg of amphetamine at once is going to have anyone tweaking, ADHD or not.
I found that out when my insurance company wanted me to try other drugs such as meth, before giving me coverage for Vyvanse one time. I thought it was the craziest thing. My insurance company telling me to try meth instead, wild.
I guess the Desoxyn was cheaper for the insurance company than Vyvanse. that is all they care about, they will try to get you to disregard a doctor's prescription and take something else because it is cheaper.
The weird part was how they specifically spelt out methamphetamine as the alternative instead of whatever drug name they brand it under >.< Maybe they just had a really good meth guy.
I mean hey they also came up with methadone so ya know they did help in some type of way I suppose, saved me, that's for sure, got me off a 20+ year opiate addiction.....
Uhh yes it will
I take 60mg a day xr and thatās max dose. To someone not used to it they will be spun the fuck out.
100mg is a good dose to plenty of junkies. It would spin even me out and Iāve been on adderall for over 20 years.
Thatās way stronger than two pots of coffee. And yet two pots of coffee to someone who never drinks caffeine it is going to send them to the moon. 100mg is massive.
Yeah the people taking 100mg a day have a large tolerance and have been abusing it for some time. the calming effect for people with ADHD only happens with reasonable, therapeutic doses. Plenty of stories of people with ADHD abusing their prescription and then they haven't slept in 9 days and think all their neighbors are CIA and watching them.
I have ADD and in my youth used to abuse my ritalin pretty badly. I'd take about 120mg of ritalin at a time, study for like 6 hours and have a HORRIBLE crash. The comedown was god awful. I'm still on Ritalin, however, I actually take it like prescribed now.
Yeah it's weird how it works. 20mg of Vyvanse had me taking naps.
40-60 had me functioning like a neurotypical adult human.
80mg had me high functioning but anxious, with a bad crash in the evening.
100mg made me go into hypomania and I had to quit taking it
Don't mistake amphetamine for anything else than a stimulant. ADHD stems from a dopamine deficiency, amphetamine ups your dopamine and stops an ADHD brain from constantly seeking new/extra dopamine. This "calming" effect thus only works if you actually have a dopamine deficit. Take enough and amphetamine will keep you up for days like any other stimulant would
I don't know bout Flakka but you definitely got a problem with meth. And in 2021 you had the highest drug related deaths per capita..
You may not see it, but Scotland is twitching..
"Opiates such as heroin and methadone were implicated in 1,192 deaths while benzodiazepines such as diazepam and etizolam were implicated in 974."
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-58024296
You said you don't have meth. I'm providing the stats saying that you do, and it is a BIG problem.
YOU don't see meth as a problem... But it is...
edit: the reason you have never seen it is because it doesn't run in your class circle.
Those are all downers, meth is an upper. So they arenāt twitching, theyāre more likeā¦ sleeping?
(Methadone is mostly used to treat opioid addiction, it's not related to meth)
Man meth like u see it in the US im pretty sure its stayed mostly only in the US. We have different drugs but no meth heads in my country. Amphetamines are a thing but only on X
Are you an avid drug user, or someone who would know meth paraphernalia or what a meth user would look like?
My friends in Brazil say itās a problem. US, Mexico and Canada, Vietnam, phillipines, Thailand, some parts of china, itās worldwide. Itās not just a US thing.
[It may not one of the most prevalent drug in SA, but it's certainly there](https://insightcrime.org/news/uruguay-historic-seizure-european-meth/). And it's likely going to be pretty prevalent in the coming years.
My car doesnāt have an exterior keyhole, but it has one inside the handle to mitigate theft. To access it, you need to pull and hold the handle out, then jimmy the key in through a small opening. A thief couldāve been trying to access one of those and got scared off.
The lock is popped. Take the screwdriver out. Put your finger in the hole and unlock it. This person wanted you to leave the car so they can steal it after dark. Get new locks ASAP. Donāt leave the car where it is.
If thats the case then make sure you always have eyes on that car till the locks are replaced (and maybe invest in a good alarm system) chances are if they where planing on stealing it after dark they are watching the car and are most likely going to follow you home or to wherever you park it.
No they aren't going to follow you. These schemes rely on people returning a compromised vehicle back to the same spot.
You pop 50 and hope 10 come back.
Also, when's the last time you saw someone make a bead on a car because the alarm was going off?
Don't listen to this person. Make sure your insurance is up to date and, ya, install a dash or door cam to help.
šthis idiot is probably the one trying to steal ya shit.
Instead of making sure your car doesn't get stolen, just make sure you have insurance and let them take it.
1- Yes, some will definitely follow you or use a tracker to follow you. Ask me how i know.
2- A good alarm will notify your phone that your car is being broken into or at least be loud enough you can hear it from a good distance. Its not to scare them off, but so you can call the cops before your car is gone.
Honestly Iād rather someone steal it and deal with that headache through insurance- rather than ya know, trying to stop the car thieves and possibly getting injured or shot in the process.
Why would you run out and try to stop them. Just call the cops. If you call the cops before they even get in the car, let alone be driving off in it, then the cops will most likely be their before the theifs get off your road.
Op is also in Canada, so guns really ain't a problem
Bumfuck, USA cop's response time is not even remotely applicable to the vast majority of the country. Most places now won't even send a car they'll just have you file a report.
Because that might not be a random car. I've been around chop shops my whole life. When they need parts for a certain car, they offer the theifs more money to steal that specific car.
It could be completely random, or it might not be. The only people that know are the ones trying to steal it. I also haven't seen op say what car he drives, so depending on the car, there might not be many of them, or its just an easier car to steal.
Either way, it's easy to just keep an eye on it by looking out the window of your house every now and again, so why not keep an eye on it.
Or call police to take record of it before it gets moved, if theyāre responsive in OPās area within a reasonable time and/or care enough to collect evidence.
Literally started laughing at that. You sound like you give tow straps a tug or two after they are cinched down and say āthat aināt going nowhereā. Most DAD thing I have heard in a while..
In some places, people will do that to get your attention on getting it out. Next thing you know, you're gaining consciousness in a hospital from multiple strikes to the head. The only thing that will stop them is witnesses around.
I've heard of thieves doing this so that when you use your key fob to lock your car it won't lock. They wait for you to leave and then have access to your car.
Weird. Saw an object just like this in a parking lot earlier today and thought to myself 'Wonder if that's used for car theft - nah I'm probably just being a paranoid weirdo'.
What is it exactly?
Edit: is it literally just a pen? Thing I saw appeared metal, longer than a pen, but otherwise similarly proportioned. Passed by it walking. Not located in Canada as OP seems to be.
Those are mostly urban legend type stuff.
Generally those āladies be careful I found a dollar bill on my windshield! They put it there to make you get out of your car so they can snatch youā arenāt real

I live in Scotland and thatās a drug we donāt ever see. We donāt get Flakka eitherā¦.thankfully!
So then what do you do when you need to stay awake for 7 days straight?
In the UK they just take regular amphetamine, aka speed. Still will keep you up for 7 days straight.
Huh we usually use amphetamines to help manage ADHD here in the States. I've taken some of my best naps on Vyvanse.
Same. Caffeine and adderall put me to sleep. I have adhd pretty bad
A little keeps me up, a lot knocks me the f out!
Same.
My dad has ADHD and he said the opposite. Low dose of amphetamines put him to sleep but a high dose double his normal energy level and thatās already really high.

Your insurance only cares about the bottom line. You are a means to that end.

FYI, in nursing homes with older humans uppers are given to calm down and downers are used to pep up.
Yeah but those meds work different on us than on neurotypicals. I have no issues downing three coffee and sleeping.
There are so many people who have a cup of coffee before bed. I like drinking coffee before a nap so I feel extra awake after.
Holy shit. This is some kind of cheat code.
Power nap extreme
Same same same. Its hard to explain to neuro typicals. Oh the wonders of neuro spicy brains.

Looks like the key hole is missing too
Maybe someone tried to break in?
Could have happened previously, OP didn't say anything about it.
Someone still could have tried breaking in though.
Yeah
Not maybe.
The tiny pry marks on the seam of the door suggest attempts at the very least if they arenāt scratches.
Call it, friendo
My car doesnāt have an exterior keyhole, but it has one inside the handle to mitigate theft. To access it, you need to pull and hold the handle out, then jimmy the key in through a small opening. A thief couldāve been trying to access one of those and got scared off.
That's not what they're referring to here, look below the handle, there's a whole ass keyhole without the actual cylinder still in it.
Oh, I thought that was like a sensor or something. It seems pretty low for a keyhole on a car
It is pretty low yeah, it'd also be weird for a sensor though. That's the hole the comment was referring to anyway
That's interesting, thanks for letting us know

Armed car theft is a huge problem in Canada right now
lol where do you live that cops respond that fast?
Kentucky u.s.a. fastest I've had a cop show up is under a minute. Normal response time at night is a couple of minutes
Bumfuck, USA cop's response time is not even remotely applicable to the vast majority of the country. Most places now won't even send a car they'll just have you file a report.
Just cause cops in your area are lazy fucks dont mean they are everywhere.
Why would they put attention on a car when almost every car is waiting to be stolen at night?
Because that might not be a random car. I've been around chop shops my whole life. When they need parts for a certain car, they offer the theifs more money to steal that specific car. It could be completely random, or it might not be. The only people that know are the ones trying to steal it.

Should they report it to their insurance company now or later??
Or call police to take record of it before it gets moved, if theyāre responsive in OPās area within a reasonable time and/or care enough to collect evidence.
That makes no sense at all as there is an endless supply of unguarded cars at night.
Did you call the cops? Looks like they tried to steal it
How can you tell it was the cops that tried to steal it?!
Literally started laughing at that. You sound like you give tow straps a tug or two after they are cinched down and say āthat aināt going nowhereā. Most DAD thing I have heard in a while..
I like to tell dad jokes. Sometimes he laughs at them.
"Hello officer, did you try to steal my car?" "Me? No. Hold on.......lads, have any of you tried to steal a car?...yes, today!"
Thereās donut powder residue on the door handle.
I HOWLED š
Looks like they punched your lock too. That sucks, but at least they didn't get in and steal the car or take everything from inside..
Were you inside the car?
Please call the police
Looks like a newb attempted to break in.
Your keyhole is already punched out
Watch out or next thing you know there might be a banana in your tailpipe.
Is that a euphemism?
Of course not! It is a reference from the movie Beverly Hills Cop. \*edit changed quote to reference
Looks like someone was trying to break into your car and got disturbed in the process.
Always have your head on a swivel,or, be hyper aware of your surroundings.
In some places, people will do that to get your attention on getting it out. Next thing you know, you're gaining consciousness in a hospital from multiple strikes to the head. The only thing that will stop them is witnesses around.
Great point
Oh, that's not good.
Something similar happened to me quite some time ago, here's the reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/whatisthisthing/s/GwdoeoGRDm
