    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.

              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.

                  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
