The government actually limits how much each manufacturer is allowed to produce, that's the actual cause of the shortage.

Dude people are gonna do drugs either way. Whether it's a dick move or not. It doesn't matter

People are trying to use them like performance enhancing drugs for academia. But of course, they don't work like that for normal people.
