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.

Meth-laced Adderall

Oh no, the amphetamine was contaminated with amphetamine! 🙄

I'm aware that meth and Adderall aren't the exact same chemical, but this isn't like putting carfentanyl in heroin. "Laced" is some sensationalized bullshit.

“Aren’t the exact same” is a huge understatement…
