Mental Health and Delusional Disorder:
Delusional disorder, previously called paranoid disorder, is a type of serious mental illness called a "psychosis" in which a person cannot tell what is real from what is imagined. The main feature of this disorder is the presence of delusions, which are unshakable beliefs in something untrue. People with delusional disorder experience non-bizarre delusions, which involve situations that could occur in real life, such as being followed, poisoned, deceived, conspired against, or loved from a distance. These delusions usually involve the misinterpretation of perceptions or experiences. In reality, however, the situations are either not true at all or highly exaggerated.
People with delusional disorder often can continue to socialize and function normally, apart from the subject of their delusion, and generally do not behave in an obviously odd or bizarre manner. This is unlike people with other psychotic disorders, who also might have delusions as a symptom of their disorder. In some cases, however, people with delusional disorder might become so preoccupied with their delusions that their lives are disrupted.
Although delusions might be a symptom of more common disorders, such as schizophrenia, delusional disorder itself is rather rare. Delusional disorder most often occurs in middle to late life and is slightly more common in women than in men.

Get the all-madden mug.When you are taking an amphetamine like Adderall and then smoke Marijuana later. This produces a mental experience characterized with:
1.) Open and free thought.
2.) Detailed and deep thought.
3.) Euphoria.
Your mileage may vary based on your basal mental capacity and current mental state; but in general, you will find that the content of your speech could best be described as witty and profound at the same time.
You should only take Madderall on weekends, vacations or in the late afternoon after you are done with professional obligations. Marijuana combined with Adderall produces a cerebral effect where you might feel that you are using a much higher percentage of your brain's sensory and processing ability. Adderall causes you to take in a high volume of information at an abnormally fast rate while marijuana allows you to process this information a deeper and more creative level.
In essence, marijuana negates one of the biggest draw backs of Adderall, the loss of creativity.

Madderall's effects are most useful in social settings where people are not socially reserved or conservative. Around people who appreciates wit and openness, a person taking Madderall will flourish and win over crowds.
Biggest Risk: Carelessness due to not paying enough attention to the details of your physical surroundings. Possible forgetfulness manifesting itself in losing your keys, cell phone, or wallet.
At risk population: People with certain psychiatric imbalances, particularly those with depression or manic-depressive disorder, should take greater caution since Adderall on it's own may induce a manic episode; the pot doesn't help...
