And today it seems as popular as ever, reaching the rich and powerful, but made available to those with mental issues they were born with, have acquired or have fallen into:
What is Adderall?
Adderall is used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy. Adderall contains a combination of amphetamine and dextroamphetamine. Amphetamine and dextroamphetamine are central nervous system stimulants that affect chemicals in the brain and nerves that contribute to hyperactivity and impulse control.
Adderall may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
Warnings
Adderall may be habit-forming, and this medicine is a drug of abuse. Tell your doctor if you have had problems with drug or alcohol abuse.
Stimulants have caused stroke, heart attack, and sudden death in people with high blood pressure, heart disease, or a heart defect.
Do not use this medicine if you have used a MAO inhibitor in the past 14 days, such as isocarboxazid, linezolid, phenelzine, rasagiline, selegiline, or tranylcypromine or have received a methylene blue injection.
Adderall may cause new or worsening psychosis (unusual thoughts or behavior), especially if you have a history of depression, mental illness, or bipolar disorder.
You may have blood circulation problems that can cause numbness, pain, or discoloration in your fingers or toes.
Call your doctor right away if you have: signs of heart problems – chest pain, feeling light-headed or short of breath; signs of psychosis – paranoia, aggression, new behavior problems, seeing or hearing things that are not real; signs of circulation problems – unexplained wounds on your fingers or toes.
You may not be able to use Adderall if you have glaucoma, overactive thyroid, severe agitation, moderate to severe high blood pressure, heart disease or coronary artery disease, vascular disease, or a history of drug or alcohol addiction.

Some medicines can interact with amphetamine and dextroamphetamine and cause a serious condition called serotonin syndrome. Tell your doctor about any other medications you are using. Be sure your doctor knows if you also take opioid medicine, herbal products, or medicine for depression, mental illness, Parkinson’s disease, migraine headaches, serious infections, or prevention of nausea and vomiting. Ask your doctor before making any changes in how or when you take your medications. Symptom of serotonin syndrome may include agitation, hallucinations (hearing or seeing things that are not real), coma, fast heart rate, dizziness, sweating, feeling hot, muscle rigidity or shakiness, seizures, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. Stop Adderall immediately if you experience these symptoms.

7 Joe Rogan Experience episodes about psychedelics you have to see
By Derek (Herbalist)
14 Aug 2020
Odds are that if you have been researching psychedelics on YouTube, you have encountered some of Joe Rogan’s videos at least a couple of times. The American comedian, podcast host and mixed martial artist commentator currently has over 9 million subscribers and covers some truly exciting subjects with his fascinating guests. One topic Rogan can’t seem to get enough of himself, is psychedelics. It doesn’t matter what the subject is, the host is always able to insert a random ‘Have you ever heard of DMT’ in the discussion. In this article we present you with 7 Joe Rogan Experience episodes you must watch if you – like us – love this subject as well.
Joe Rogan Experience #782 – Rick Doblin
In this interesting talk, Rogan interviews MAPS Founder Rick Doblin about the last thirty years of psychedelic science, MDMA-assisted psychotherapy, ayahuasca-assisted therapy, and the future for psychedelic medicine. Joe Rogan highlights MAPS, stating, “You guys are so important when it comes to the dialogue of psychedelics.” And I mean, they are. MAPS literally stands for ‘Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies’ and has been researching stuff like psilocybin, DMT and marijuana since 1986. Although it isn’t Joe’s best interview (he can be quite interrupting in this one), Doblin has a lot of interesting things to say.
Since 1986, MAPS has worked tirelessly to build and share the blueprint for ending psychedelic prohibition. This MAPS blueprint is being used throughout the world to take an evidence-based approach to psychedelic healing. As a nonprofit, MAPS has relied on the support of people like you to pursue our mission, build a movement, and change the way people think about, talk about, and consume psychedelics through research, education, and advocacy.
Retired, living in the Scottish Borders after living most of my life in cities in England. I can now indulge my interest in all aspects of living close to nature in a wild landscape. I live on what was once the Iapetus Ocean which took millions of years to travel from the Southern Hemisphere to here in the Northern Hemisphere. That set me thinking and questioning and seeking answers.
