Different types/ratios of amphetamines (there's plenty), different purity levels (dosages of speed are way higher for similar level of effect) and cutting agents (e.g. ephedrine, meth), different dosages and consistency of taking them. Even with the same substance taking 20mg daily is very different than binging 300mg in a night.
- feet 4y agoPurity definitely, the difference in dosages comes from the fact that adderall (AFAIK) is 70% d-amp and 30% L. Cutting agents can also make a difference. If someone produces amphetamine, what other byproduct amphetamines would it contain? I'm not sure I understand your statement on the different types/ratios of amphetamines
- Tenoke 4y agoYou are thinking of just amphetamine (so d or l) while speed often is/has other Ahmphetamine type stimulants[0], typically other similar substances with a longer name that has amphetamine in the name and a similar effect. It just depends on what was easiest to obtain/make due to legality, availability of ingredients and a host of other reasons. 0. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphetamine_type_stimulant https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphetamine_type_stimulant
- feet 4y agoRight, my original comment specified referring to just amphetamine as speed. There are a ton of analogs and substituted amphetamines but that's a whole different discussion.
- Tenoke 4y agoSure but that's not what speed refers to in practice and if you go buy some speed instead of Adderall those are the realities of what you'll get/have gotten in the past.
