Hypothetically speaking, how might one be able to get their hands on this candy?

I need it for my... ADHD

street value of USD 608 per candy

Good luck getting the real thing. I could buy some normal candy and a roll of food-safe paper, and sell it for hundreds of dollars. Or add cyanide too, just to ensure the customer won't complain when it doesn't get them high.

Street price in NZ would be a lot higher than elsewhere. Same goes for Australia

Meth is the worst drug

Although the ADHD joke is spot on - ADHD gets treated with amphetamines, and straight up meth is used for the most severe cases (I myself am on dextroamphetamine for my ADHD)

methamphetamine is neurotoxic and not used medically, except the levo isomer in some cough/congestion formulas

Desoxyn would like a word.

Edit to add: more commonly prescribed amphetamines are neurotoxic, too. Whether they are neurotoxic at clinical doses is still debated.

Meth is alright. I don’t like it as much as adderall.

Fent is the worst drug.
