Police arrested three men accused of selling thousands of pills of meth-laced “Adderall” on various darknet marketplaces and mailing them through the United States Postal Service through a fictitious business called “Professional Paper Filing Inc.” that listed a real return address of an uninvolved business. That business then told police that it was repeatedly getting packages of pills in the mail as “return to sender.”

The men face a maximum possible penalty of life imprisonment.

    Adderall is legally able to be prescribed to kids with ADHD.

    So is meth, except they use the brand name “Desoxyn.”

      It’s prescribed in theory. Mostly, I think, for people with narcolepsy, not kids with ADHD. My psychiatrist has had me try basically every ADHD medication and he has never once mentioned Desoxyn. And I knew a couple of pharmacy techs for a few years who definitely would have told me if they’d seen Desoxyn prescribed because it’s the kind of trying they’d have been very excited about stealing from work.
