What is the fastest working herb that works like Adderall?

Answer 1

Ephedra sinica or ephedra vulgaris. Also known as ma huang, these plants contain the natural forms of ephedrine in the highest abundance among their genus. The alkaloid derivatives of this plant were first isolated and synthesized by Nagai Nagayoshi in the late 1800's, and are very similar to amphetamine in structure and function. In fact, ephedrine and amphetamine belong to the same chemical class, the phenethylamines.

An important thing to remember, however, is that ma huang extract is not nearly as potent as the actual plant because it is extremely diluted. Also, you do not eat the plant itself - it must be boiled and strained into a tea. One must also remember that this is a very potent and dangerous substance in this form because there are about 9 forms of ephedrine simultaneously present in the plant itself. In order to make any practical use of this substance, the pure extract must be filtered to isolate the desired form of ephedrine. It really is more trouble, and danger, than it's worth.

For the sake of your health, do not use this substance as a substitute for Adderall. Ephedrine is not very useful as a psychostimulant because it acts on norepinephrine and serotonin more than it does on dopamine. It is really only medically useful in the treatment of severe sinus blockages.
