    I'd love to hear some evidence they hate ADHD meds and aren't just shit-talking addied up PMC strivers who don't have ADHD but just drug themselves to increase their productivity

      Speaking as someone with ADHD who takes meds for it: Hating on recreational users just adds to anti-stimulant stigma and I wish people would stop doing it. IDGAF if there are people out there using adderall to get ahead. The war on drugs needs to die

      Edit: also, you never know if some of those “addied up PMC strivers” might be (knowingly or unknowingly) self-medicating for undiagnosed ADHD. Does it even fucking matter? Kill your inner cop

        Actually strivers who don't have ADHD using aderall to get ahead actively makes the lives of competing workers and students worse by ratcheting up the expectation bar for what is considered acceptable levels of preformance. So IDGAF if a comedian makes fun of them, fuck them.

        If you're looking for jokes that through no lens could offend anybody ever at all I'm not really sure why you're listening to Chapo honestly

        5 mg Adderall should be OTC imho.

        It is like a cup of coffee.
