It must be official druggie day today.
More than the prescribed amount is too much. What dose will screw you up or kill you depends on your weight, metabolism, and other personal factors. If you're looking for a dose in milligrams, then you don't get it.

No. Are you trying to figure out how high you can get without causing permanent damage or death?
The formulas that exist are for therapeutic doses. They have some margin of safety built in. Even so, some people react badly, or are hypersensitive to the drug.
There's a therapeutic dose (given your personal parameters), but there is no "safe" dose.

yes that is pretty much what im doing, and yes i do realize that every drug involves permanent damage, but you never know if you like something or not until you try it

Two problems with that idea: to find out if you like it, you might kill yourself; if you wind up really liking it (and it's very, very easy to get addicted to amphetamines), you are screwed.
This forum is to help people deal with their addictions, not to help people get addicted to things.

after all the drugs ive tried, ive found out i dont have a very addictive personality, i hated most of them, i dont regularily use any at all(the last time i used a drug to get high was like 3 years ago and i just wanted to try ritalin once, without killing myself)and i do know that most drugs are very addictive, but my circle of friends are pretty much all people who have been on drugs , and quit, there are however like 3 people who still regularily use E, but we are all helping them to quit(lol weve got our own N.A)none of us drink alcohol, and i only asked how much was too much, because i wont be able to ask my friends for a few days
(yes i do realize that me and my friends are very stupid, but the way we are, makes us try new things before we shun them)

I hope you guys don't decide that you'll just have to try putting a loaded revolver in your mouths, pulling the trigger, and seeing what happens. Keep in mind that even if you think you don't have an addictive personality (meaning what, exactly? Chemical addiction? Habituation?), you can get addicted to things like crystal meth very rapidly.
In any case, good luck.

> ive only been addicted to cigarettes
There are a lot of peple who have tried cigarette, who have smoked for a while, but haven't gotten addicted, even though they get a dose of nicotine each time they smoked, just like you; yet you got addicted.

Why did you smoke for two years? How do you know you weren't addicted after two days?
