this. And all the chads and staceys that (ab)use the drugs to get even better positions in life would still find some way of obtaining stimulants while the people that need them just to be functional/normal live miserable lives

what's more bothersome are the people who use them recreationally, fuck themselves up, and make everyone who needs them look like junkies.

It's so fucking true. Even the things I care about very deeply, I wouldn't be able to do them without my meds. I tried everything, and they were only my last option which helped me at least.

people would still be self medicating with coffee, cigarettes, pervitin and cocaine.

Or has everyone forgotten that you used to be able to buy all of that legally?

"oh man, these cigarettes really do help me work, just like the doctor in the magazine said they would."

An ADHD free world.
ADHD is not a natural condition. Its caused by drugs that supposedly treat various mental disorders ADHD included. It doesnt really exist and there are no ADHD sufferers outside of USA and most western liberal countries. Its one of the greatest jewish tricks ever devised.

>> No.9407956

ADHD is overdiagnosed but it is absolutely a thing when defined as drastically worse executive functions relative to IQ, intelligence, or motivation. Go back to /pol/ or spend some time reading people's experiences.

>> No.9407971

>>9407956
It exists only because americans are fed medications for things like 'treating' depression and such.
But its artificial, with good practise of (not) prescribing drugs ADHD would dissapear in few years.

No, go educate yourself instead of repeating the same nonsense you hear in your internet echo-chambers. I have never had any kind of medication in my life but still have been diagnosed with ADHD and it's symptoms severly impact my functioning.

>> No.9408132

There would be less drug addicts. There is no such thing as adhd,

No. Tried metylphenidate once and it did make me able to focus like a 'normal human' (objectively tested) but it also made me emotionless and without creativity...
Microdosing LSD and some tricks like actively using my 'hyper-focus' to learn things befor I have to learn them do help though

Most of them helps you focus, retains better memory etc. Just like meth. Only problem with common meth use, is that you remember only how you got it and why to do it again.
