Do you realize that this basically translates to "had I not stopped taking prescribed amphetamines, I'd never be exploring other drugs"... sounds a little hypocritical to me, and particularly when ADHD-diagnosed-on-prescription drugs fail to note that they been treating themselves with micro-dosing. So then how is Psilocybin or THC microdosing different? If it's all about the dosage, then we need to focus on a different narrative. Besides, I'm sure a lot of very sane, and very performant people, met lots of these, actually enjoy the regular micro-dosing of alcohol or tobacco...

Prescribed amphetamines are very different than meth. Its not just about dosages.

  "Very different" is a strong word. They're more similiar than different and both have similiar intermediaries within the body. Thankfully, that difference is largely the difference between long-term debilitating addiction and short-term focus.

    Ive taken two different amphetamines and 1 brings on panic attacks and the other doesn't. I call that very different. The molecule doesn't have to be that different in order to be vastly different in what it does to humans.

      Two street amphétamines or two prescribed? Sorry not trying to be rude, but you know there seem to be like 4 in Aderall, so how do you tell them apart? Besides you can be absolutely sure there is very clean stuff out there on the streets. All I’m saying is that bros are effectively micro-dosing to cater to condition and there are lots of people taking this in very regular manner.

That is literally exactly the case. I'm not going to pull fake percentages out of my ass here but it's in the medical literature that a person with ADHD who is medicated and treated correctly has less likelihood by a significant factor of drug abuse. It's not hypocritical. You seem to have a line of thought you couldn't escape from when writing these replies where the bad guy in this scenario is microdosing and tech Bros.
