    my friend said he can get me ritalin, and im kinda tempted because i havent been able to focus on school work at all lately. he said its $10 a pill though, and he doesnt know the mg in each pill but he said you only need one, so im assuming like 30mg or something... is $10 too much though? i feel like thats way too much money to stay focused long enough to write a paper or something...

    i would most definitely not pay $10 for one pill of ritalin.

    you should find out the mg, but unless it's like insanely high, that's sounds like a pretty unreasonable price.

    he wont tell me whos selling it to him, and apparently i dont know the guy so im pretty sure my friend is getting ripped off... it was funny, i asked him how much per pill and he was like "$10 but i can get it for $7" like that made him special or something, and i told him i wouldnt buy it for over $5... but i still want to find out the mg per pill before i buy it though... that seems incredibly retarded to take something without knowing how much is in it...

    You can get a whole bottle of ritalin for $4 by prescription in some places.
    Even if they're 30mg, it's definitely not worth it and definitely a rip off.

    is $5 even a rip off? what would be a fair price for one pill? (according to my friend who bought it from this guy, it was the greatest 5 hours of his life... i dont know about that but im assuming it was a pretty decent dose, like maybe 30mg or more)

    it's really hard to say until you know for sure what mg you're getting.

    $5 for 30mg is still kinda pricey but it wouldn't be THAT unheard of. if it's something you really want, that's an okay price to pay.

    Yeah, $5 for 30mg is high, but not ridiculous.

    Ritalin, I don't know if I'd ever buy by the pill. It's so cheap by prescription that it'd have to be like 50 cents to $1 per pill or the person selling it is just making way too much money from it.

    If you're gonna spend $10 on one pill, buy some ecstasy, even if it's crappy. If you're not using Ritalin for ADD it's like cocaine's cheap cousin, and in my opinion, only good if you have a lot of it...

    Hell, for $5, go buy an expensive coffee, it'll help you write your paper just as well.

    ^haha good point... well i'll find out the mg and see... one of my friends takes adderall sometimes so i'm gonna talk to her and see how much it costs per pill, cause that might be better anyway

    i could somewhat see if he was charging 5 bucks since 5 is half of 10, but thats more leaning toward opiate prices.

    but 10 bucks is too much, for real. what, if he has 30mg pills was he gonna charge 30? fuck outta here.

    Absolutely a rip off. To me, 10mg of ritalin is ~5mg adderall. I used to pay 2 for $5 for 30mg adderall, which would be ~60mg ritalin.
