We don't hand children meth so that they behave, but we do with mobile games.

- 1000units 8y agoIn fact this is almost exactly what happens with many children being prescribed Adderall.
- crankylinuxuser 8y agoTo counteract your bullshit... If someone has ADHD, adderall slows them down so they can concentrate. It reduces mind-fog from too much stimulus. If you don't have ADHD, its like a super cup of coffee, but in pill form. My doctor was trying to figure out my cognitive issue. And for a time, I was on adderall. It was pretty easy to tell that I didn't have ADHD, since I started getting upper'd. Felt nice, don't get me wrong. But I'll stick with coffee.
- zkomp 8y agoMore interesting question: How do we know regular drug users are not self medicating.
- TomMarius 8y agoThey in fact frequently are. There are huge communities dedicated to that on the Internet. BTW a lot of the previously illegal and unthinkable treatments these people used have just been legalised in the EU, using MDMA etc.
- JohnFen 8y agoIndeed. And although I wouldn't recommend the self-medicating route, it's hard to deny that there are some people who get much better results doing that than getting "official" medical help.
- TomMarius 8y agoProfessionals can be found even though its illegal. I wouldn't recommend self-medication either.
