No I didn't grind up the beads. I wasn't really looking for the full body high, just wanted to use it as a study aid. The only crappy thing about it is that I slept for shit last night. I just assume that it has to do with the adderall. So if I don't have ADD, then what would the effects be on someone who does have ADD. I thought adderall pretty much affects everyone the same way (depending on dosage) by helping the concentrate and sit still.
