This is my take as well. No one who likes the effect of stims is going to seek out Parnate above the easily available Adderall/Dex/Ritalin. Not many people are even aware of Parnate in the first place. Also, even though it does have an "amphetimine like" response, my own feeling is that the parnate stimulation feels much different and less intense than the buzz one can get from pstims.
> I think Parnate is legal mainly because it is so rarely used, and even then under close supervision of a psychiatrist. Also, the dietary and drug restrictions would put many casual abusers off. It's also difficult to get hold of - I've never seen it for sale on an online pharmacy.
