Yeah you can thank all the non diagnosed & non needing taking medication for diagnosed & needing, for that.
Fuck you, I actually need it and y'all cause shortages globally. Fuck You. "I perform so much better" No actualmy I barely compete WITH and its a fucking battle all day long. From putting my socks on to actually make a wage. Fuck You.
No fuck YOU for throwing addicts under the bus as if that's not a legit medical problem. Show me one source that says the cause of the shortage is people "not needing taking".

If you're wondering, 5 percent of white college students adds up to about 3.75 million people who aren't necessarily addicts and are effectively wasting supply of the drug.
Wasting? Sure. Causing a supply shortage? No.
You don't think nearly 4 million extra users are going to hurt supply?
It's mainly because of a manufacturing issue. Increased demand is certainly a factor but there is undeniably much less stimulant medication available than normal from manufacturers.
So there's multiple factors. Including people wasting the supply.
The government actually limits how much each manufacturer is allowed to produce, that's the actual cause of the shortage.
this right there. actual synthesis is pretty easy, reliable, well developed no matter if we're talking about amphetamine or methylphenidate
Then it's a pretty dick move to try and cheat with it isn't it?
Dude people are gonna do drugs either way. Whether it's a dick move or not. It doesn't matter
They aren't even actually good for cheating on tests. I'd understand if they were getting high.
How is it cheating?
People are trying to use them like performance enhancing drugs for academia. But of course, they don't work like that for normal people.
