Image not quite for ADHPeeps but I feel this sort of thing happens regularly for us as well.

    Reminds me of when people find out I do cocaine and Adderall.

    “Oh Michael likes to get high”

    No, Michael doesn’t have health insurance and has very severe adhd. I can’t live a normal life without stimulants and drug dealers are cheaper than doctors. welcome to America.

      Damn mate, that’s really rough. I did see recently how US companies are taking advantage of the made-up scarcity to scalp people with ADHD to the point where the black market is more affordable. I only you know what you’re doing vis-a-vis risks from tainted batches.

        I do worry about getting a hot batch and dying but that’s just the state of America today. Women will be getting dangerous back ally abortions as well soon.

        It’s a problem with the categorization. They’re treated like oxy legally so they aren’t allowed to manufacture over a certain amount.

      Cocaine bad for mental health. Even with ADHD cocaine is so cut and stepped on its not reliable enough to get anything done.

      Eh, cocaine seems kinda too much. I understand lots of adderall.

      BTW, where I am normal ADHD medication is illegal, unless you get it and the recipe in another country. As you might imagine, that is kinda expensive to do every few months.

        You nailed it. I fall into the insurance gap in my state. I make too much for free healthcare but not enough to qualify for discounts on healthcare. The Fed thinks I should be helped by my state, my state disagrees.
