This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

No it's fucking not.

And this kind of thinking is why the local cops raided a clinic my town and why doctors in my town are now scared to prescribe it.

This is what happens when people stigmatize and demonize legal meds that actually help folks who genuinely need it.

Cops raided a pharmacy because they needed a fix. Foia the body cam footage if they got them.

I take it myself and have done so for 10+ years, and know the chemistry of it. It's in the same tree, but it's absolutely not meth.

If it were meth, it'd be called meth.

Adderall is not meth, but it's still a form of speed/amphetamine and is still addictive to some neurotypical people. Maybe not as addictive or dangerous, but very much in the same category.

The reason ADHD people don't get addicted is because of their altered neurology and the doses it's prescribed at.

In fact actual meth is sometimes prescribed to ADHD patients in small doses. It's called Desoxyn.

Yes. Absolutely. But it is not meth, as people keep trying to claim.
