    prescription is tracked That’s generally how prescriptions work. Keep in mind that just because it is a “narcotic” (I’ll explained why it isn’t a narcotic in a moment) doesn’t mean it is a recreational drug.

    Firstly, adderall is racemic which reduces the fun affects you would actually get from amphetamine. What we call “speed” is R-amphetamine, or amphetamine with R-enatinomers.

    Secondly, narcotics have different definitions on who you ask, one is wildly more accurate than the other. Medically speaking, narcotics refer to opioids and opiates, basically anything psychoactive with numbing or paralyzing attributes. Cocaine doesn’t do this (unless you get a lidocaine cut), yet it is classified as a narcotic (scheduled before they really started doing dirty shit like cutting with things like that). The government however does not classify amphetamines as a narcotic (which they would be correct).

    I must warn you before we go on with this conversation that I have quite a fair bit of experience with CNS stimulants medically and otherwise, it is a subject that I have a large amount of knowledge in.
