We have adderall now. Speed with a PG rating
- Cthulhu_ 5y agoI don't think that's a very kind thing to say about the medications for people for who ADHD medications like amphetamines and methylphenidates have meant a huge improvement in quality of life.
- InitialLastName 5y agoThat it has helped people doesn't make the comparison untrue. We shouldn't lose sight of the fact that many drugs with reputations of illegitimate/illegal use are readily provided to patients (including children) in a pharmaceutical context, most notably amphetamines and opiates.
- nirav72 5y agoMy point was that plenty of people use adderall without being diagnosed with ADHD.
- samatman 5y agoAdderall is a euphemism for amphetamine the same way that speed is a dysphemism. Hence "speed with a PG rating". I don't think being unkind to molecules is something to worry about, they can't be offended.
