Crushing extended release beads: does it really make a difference?

[frankie_DJ]

SWIM crushed 20mg of Dexedrine ER (equivalent of Adderal XR) and didn't notice much different high from taking 20mg uncrushed spansules (except that the onset is 20 minutes faster and it doesn't last as long).

Furthermore, it kinda makes sense to SWIM that there shouldn't be any difference - 20mg is 20mg, can't make 40mg out of it by crushing the beads.

SWIM guesses it would make a difference if you are snorting it, but if you swollow it...same thing,

Someone correct SWIM if he is wrong. Or confirm his experience. And BTW, YES, SWIM crushed them to a very fine powder, using his mortar and pestle, so that is not an issue. Thanks.
