What is snorting? Schedule II drugs, such as Ritalin and Adderall have a high propensity for misuse, abuse, and dependence. Prescribed for school-age children by medical professionals, many adolescents and young adults snort Ritalin and Adderall as they believe that they are safe alternatives to cocaine. This could not be further from the truth. First, both the potency of Ritalin and Adderall are increased when they are snorted or injected because they enter the bloodstream in a more concentrated manner compared to swallowing a pill. Second, prescription medications, especially when they are not prescribed for the user, as with illicit drugs, do not diminish their potential for harm. These actions make the misuse/abuses of these substances as or more harmful than cocaine, since the user may believe snorting Adderall and Ritalin is safe. Dangerous side effects from inhaling Ritalin and Adderall include: Respiratory problems, such as destruction of the nasal and sinus cavities and lung tissue Irregular heartbeat (heart arrhythmia) Problems with circulation Psychotic episodes Increased aggression Toxic shock Death, in extreme cases
