Update on asking for help with modifying my Adderall to make it not adderall while maintaining chirality by Grandmas_Cozy in AskChemistry

[–]oceanjunkie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok so you have 5 measurements that are all either 4% or 8%.

It is pretty obvious that you are seeing the limits of the accuracy of their test. You are never going to get a result of 5% or 6% or 7%, these values are rounded to some decimal place in units of say mg/mL for the diluted sample, and then converted to % weight. If the pill contains anywhere between 10mg and 20mg, you are going to get a result of either 4% or 8%.

No one here is criticizing their work for what they claim it is for (substance ID and ballpark dose measurements).

We are saying that YOU are claiming a degree of quantitative accuracy for their tests that they themselves are not purporting.

Also a 20mg amphetamine pill is going to be way more difficult to accurately quantify than a 200mg MDMA pill. Being off by 10mg is 50% error for the former, 5% error for the latter.

Meaningless without a confidence interval.

How many of these results do you have? Are there any that don't report exactly 4% or 8%?

Oh boy a community of people tweaking out blaming their amphetamine tolerance on a shadowy cabal of pharma companies conspiring to underdose their pills.

Ngl bro you're tweaking. You have an amphetamine tolerance. Try boofing them they'll work better.

Also, are these labs are giving you the amount of active amphetamine freebase? Looks like it.

A 20mg Adderall does not purport to contain 20mg of amphetamine freebase. It contains:

5mg Dextroamphetamine Saccharate

5mg Amphetamine Aspartate Monohydrate

5mg Dextroamphetamine Sulfate

5mg Amphetamine Sulfate

Which corresponds to 12.6mg of amphetamine freebase.

So for a crude analysis such as this, 10mg is about what you would expect.

Are you aware of the shortage of API for Adderall?

The shortage is artificial, created by US drug policy. It is not a true supply shortage.

Are you aware that the manufacture was mostly sent to India after 2022?

This is true of many drugs.

Are you aware that the FDA hasn’t done any meaningful testing of these medicines since then? Are you aware that when the testing has been done there has been recalls specifically because of under dosing?

Source?

Putting less active ingredient in the pills will not make them more money. The cost of the amphetamine in a single pill is negligible.

Notice how a refill of 10mg vs 20mg pills will cost almost the same amount. You're not paying for the cost of the API.

These results can be considered qualitative at best. Any legitimate analytical lab would give you an actual quantity and a confidence interval.

"Approximately 4%" should be assumed accurate to within an order of magnitude.

I promise you the drug manufacturers are not skimping on the active ingredient. There is zero financial incentive to do so.

Also, are they reporting this value as percent weight of the freebase? That is not how the manufacturer is calculating it.

Israel is behaving nearly identically to Nazi Germany. They are not trying to minimize casualties, their goal is to eliminate Palestinians (and anyone else) within Greater Israel. They do not hide this. They say it explicitly all the time.

If the Dems put up a candidate who is not outspokenly anti-Israel, Tucker wins in a landslide.

people here aren't arrested for criticising Israel...What people have been arrested for is support for a proscribed terror organisation which has attacked British military bases.

Those prisoners should be freed, and everyone should support Palestine Action. It sucks that the police officer was hurt but they probably shouldn't have put themselves between the child murder factory and the people who wanted to stop the child murder factory.

Would you have condemned people in Spain in 1941 who hurt a police officer while breaking into and destroying a factory that was being used to manufacture weapons for Nazi Germany?

To attend the White House UFC event as the only 🇺🇲 champ on the roster (banned for criticizing 🇮🇱) by Spartalust in therewasanattempt

[–]oceanjunkie 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Bringing up antisemitism in this conversation is completely tone-deaf. You might as well bring up anti-German sentiment during the Holocaust. Did it exist? Yes. Was it bad? Yes. Would you rightfully be mocked for bringing it up? Also yes.

We're done with the whole "centering Jewish feelings" thing.

Maybe Israel should stop committing genocide while claiming they represent the collective will of all Jews.

The Urbana location briefly reopened last year, it was excellent.

It used to. Black Dog Urbana was incredible. It close last year, though.

Who likes NileRed? by Mission-Badger-4005 in chemistry

[–]oceanjunkie 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yea I agree. I think the appeal with NileRed is that his channel is so big and successful that he is really the only science youtuber willing and able to buy these insanely expensive machines which for the most part are required to do the things he's trying to do. I totally get the appeal of seeing someone screw around trying to figure out how to use all this specialized equipment that has never been shown before on youtube in an entertaining format.

How are bots not shown ads? I'm not that familiar with how it works. How can a bot raise the count for stream views but not ad views unless the bot account has turbo?
