Is it ok to chop up adderall and put it in a blunt?
The only two reasons to really crush Adderal is because the patient is having trouble swallowing, or because it is being snorted for a high. If the patient is having trouble swallowing, there can be some other things going on. Instead of just crushing the tablets, the primary care physician should be consulted to make sure there is not a more serious underlying condition. They may also be able to switch the patient from a tablet to a capsule. If the Adderal is being snorted for a high, even with a prescription, it is an illegal activity. Information on this will not be provided.

No. A person who is having a seizure might not have control of his mouth, throat or swallowing functions and might swallow it.
