in terms of ADHD Vyvanse/Elvanse/Lisdexamphetamine is more interesting in my opinion, its dexamphetamine bound to lysene. your body naturally strips the lysene away releasing the dexamphetamine over a period of 12 hours.

it doesnt rely on being mixed with something to delay its action or be pressed into a solid pill, in fact you can open up the capsules and eat the powder inside and there is no change in its effects (its also ineffective intranasally or as far as i am aware even if injected) its rate of release is difficult to change, its just how long the average body takes to strip the lysene away from the chemical.
