A high recreational dose would provide effects closer to a usual dose of meth. Not the same, but closer. The reason I dislike the comparison is because most people won't understand that and will simply think adderal and meth are effectively the same as they are normally used.
Use of adderal as prescribed is not even remotely close to as dangerous as recreational meth use. I'm trying to prevent people from thinking that's the case.
The similarities between the two drugs simply come from the fact they are both stimulants. The comparison can be made between any two stimulants. The reason adderal and meth are used is because of the stigma adderal has. The comparison perpetuates that stigma despite having very little actual relevance.
But then this is what doesn't really fly:
They are actually very similar when used recreationally, which is the context of the post.
I didn't interpret it as being exclusively about recreational use. Now that I'm re-reading it, I wouldn't word my response the way I did.
I still think a response would be warranted to provide more clarification, but you are right to take issue with the way I did it. I used overly harsh wording because of my unwarranted emotional reaction to the claim. Because of that reaction, I also failed to account for the recreational use of adderal.
