I had a customer offer me a pill once while touring his warehouse along with a stick of gum (said it kicks in faster). In about 15 minutes, I was shocked they give this stuff to kids. It's very close to meth.

it's literally the same thing. anyone who claims otherwise is uninformed.

  You’re not making a point by saying they’re the same. It can be true that they’re exactly the same, and still be beneficial for people to take it. This is true for most medications. The same dose of insulin that saves the life of one person, would be life threatening to another.

  > it's literally the same thing. anyone who claims otherwise is uninformed. It's also extremely emotional language. I'm curious what your issue is with legally prescribed stimulats? Stimulats allow me to be a functional human being who can do things like wash the dishes after dinner or put my clothes out to dry. Can you imagine not being able to function at even that basic level? It's literally suicide inducing.

Yes, someone without ADHD will have a vastly different experience to someone with ADHD. People without almost always talk about the burst of energy and happiness (flow of dopamine) following by a wired effect (heart racing, poor sleep, etc), while people with ADHD tend to experience a calming, quieting effect.

A friend of mine gave me an injection of his insulin once and I almost died. I was shocked they give this stuff to kids. Which is of course ridiculous because for other medical conditions we understand that people without the condition might experience the treatments for that condition differently or even dangerously. It’s almost like you shouldn’t take medications for conditions you don’t have.
