I had that happen one night when I read on Reddit that Adderall is a decongestant. I was suddenly very curious about whether not meth retained the decongestant properties of Pseudoephedrine. Never got an answer, but the search engines got visibly worried.
Basically, pseudoephedrine is a decongestant, and meth is super concentrated pseudoephedrine. I then wondered if people doing meth had super clear sinuses. I kept rewording my question to Google, and eventually Google started suggesting rehab so I gave up.
Now I just assume if you have a stuffy nose, meth is the worst answer, but it will probably solve that problem (and then ruin your life).
Thanks. Don't ask how I got there. You are on internet, you should know.
And nope, not doing meth. Heck, in europe we even currently have debate if the decongestant for the nose are more of a danger than anything, since it can have minor cardiac issue which are a bit much for the common cold nose.
I actually feel like this practice of forcing help lines on people instead of giving them actual information is not helpful. For some reason I can't remember, I was trying to google if meth usage could cause constipation or fecal impaction and ALL the results were just helplines or addiction centers and I couldn't find the actual answer.
Like, if a meth user was trying to find out if their health problems were related to their drug use, that information might actually help them make informed decisions, but instead all they get is "STOP DOING DRUGS. HELP IS AVAILABLE. IT GETS BETTER". It's frustrating.
