Effects - What is the difference in the effect of instant release adderall and adderall XR?

[Haze521]

My friend is planning on taking a 20mg Adderall XR pill to help him stay up all night on new years. Hes only taken a 20 mg adderall pill that was instant release twice before and felt the effects very well. The only thing is, the pill broke open in a bag, so now he is left with these tiny pink beads in a bag. I would like to give him some adivce on whether or not he should parachute it or not. From my understanding, for him to parachute the pill he would have to crush up the tiny pink beads until it is a fine powder, wrap the powder in some toilet paper, then swallow it( correct me if im wrong). So my question is, would parachuting the pill be the most effective way of use inorder to help him stay up all night or should he just swallow the tiny beads? What would be the difference of effects felt between the two methods of ingestion?
