The drug of topic should be aderal(the most advanced of ADHD meds). Try it, it is amazing. I have never played poker on it however.

My question is, has anyone ever tried playing poker on aderal, I believe it might be very helpful. You wouldn't believe what it can do for your focus.

College kids are exploiting this drug all over the place, it is a very common practice to use these drugs even if you are not adhd to give you super human focus levels for extended periods of time. I swear to god it is a very powerful and effective drug for motivation and focus.

Just a thought -

Absolutely. I've seen kids study for several days only stopping for sleep due to this drug. It's basically dealt like coke at colleges.

Thanks for your response - are you in college, a teacher? Can you give me some info on you knowledge backing.

On a chemicl basis it is very very similiar to cocaine, and its effects are equally as similiar. The government regulation has allowed scientist to add what is called a timed release meaning it last 12 hours, compared to cocains...? I don't know how long cocaine lasts, but in short you are exactly right.

After you snort Viagra, you're going to beat "The Big Game"?

Is that what you call yours?

There's nothing legitimate about ADD, or the drugs people take for it.

LOL. It is amphetimine, not cocaine. Totally different effects. Unfortunately for all these kids amphetimine is highly addictive and a bitch to kick.

Who give a [censored] about legitamacy.

Yes adhd is a social construction and it is not a disease.
yes the proscribed solution is a legal version of cocaine.
yes the diagnosis is to help teachers and parents not kids.
yes the diagnosis and prescription thereof is complete bullshit and entirely unhealthy.

But... will this truely phenomenal drug(aderol) be helpful at the poker table due to the increase in focus, and awareness?

has anybody tried it?
