I think the importance of these meds is understated because stimulants have greatly reduced my anxiety and increased my overall quality of life. When I take them, shit just finally quiets down in my head and I can focus on what I need to do.

But a damn agency (formed because the government hates black and poor people) is keeping others from a marginally better life in a capitalist hellscape. Pure dystopian poetry. Couldn’t make this up if you tried

    Schedule 1 drugs aren't prescribed. That's like heroin and lsd lol. Meth is even schedule 2 since it's prescribed

        I mean it's essentially just amphetamine with less side effects. Taken at the same doses, meth isn't any more dangerous than plain amphetamine. It's just that meth is 10 for a gram, while adderall is like 5 for 10 mils, so people doing meth are just doing way more of the shit. If somebody benefits from adderall but has to take more than they should (70mg a day+), replacing their prescription with 10-30mg of desoxyn a day could be a better solution. Having a longer half life, more stimulation with less physical side effects make meth a far more reasonable prescription than recreational users would have you believe, albeit far from a frontline solution.
