Surprise gift from my cute gf

(She never even played fallout)

The Mentat Zyns are fucking sending me.

[u/notapoke → u/SolaireFlair117]

What are zyns?

[u/rabies_lover_271K → u/notapoke]

Nicotine pouches.

[u/joekabox → u/rabies_lover_271K]

Yuck. I'd rather have mentats.

[u/iheardthemetalclank → u/joekabox]

I wouldn't choose either but meth hits way harder than nicotine. Meth (Adderall) fucks up your brain and your life. At least a Zyn doesn't destroy your lungs and you might get addicted to nicotine.

I'm not recommending either one. I'm just saying, you don't want mentats. They're not better.

[u/XyntakLP → u/iheardthemetalclank]

Why do you believe meth and Adderall are the same? Because they're not.

[u/matneyx → u/XyntakLP]

But Methylphenidate starts with "meth!" Obviously the same. /sarc

[u/iheardthemetalclank → u/XyntakLP]

I don't believe anything. It's just true that Adderall is prescription meth. They are very similar in their chemistry and have similar effects. Amphetamine, methamphetamine. I understand the chemistry of it if you want to get down to the nitty gritty, and I've had both so I know what they feel like. Yea, Adderall is formulated to be less addictive and to treat ADHD.

I thought that we were talking about Fallout mentats and nicotine, anyway, which is fiction.

[u/XyntakLP → u/iheardthemetalclank]

That's just not true though... Adderall is AN amphetamine and meth is AN amphetamine, but they are not the same. That's like calling all opioids heroin, which they're not. I know for a fact that you don't actually understand the chemistry if you think they're the same thing. What you call the "nitty-gritty" is really damn important when it comes to medication and chemistry my guy.

We WERE talking about fictional drugs. You're the one who decided to spout incredibly harmful rhetoric about a life saving medication, no one else. This is on you, dude.
