Anyone who has a scale and an adderall xr 20 mg?
Answer:
Actually, the capsule shell is gelatin and disintegrates fairly quickly once it reaches the acid in your stomach. A balance that weighs 20 mg accurately would cost around $1500 starting price. And if you could actually weigh the pellets, how do you plan to "judge" the purity? The capsules do not solely contain 20 mg of active material. There's the substrate that the drug is layered on, the binder that the drug is mixed with to "stick" to the substrate, the polymer on top of the drug/binder to control release, and most likely a few other excipients. You could have 200 mg of pellets and only 10% of that is actually the active ingredient (theoretically), which for Adderall is a combination of 4 different amphetamine salts in 2 different types of pellets (one immediate release and one extended release). The only way you will be capable of determining the purity of the drug is to go to college, get a chemistry degree, and get a job with an organization that has a license to work with controlled substances and the assay method. Good luck with that one.
