Not only is this wrong, the prevalence of this weird comparison fuels more stigma and dismissal of people who already have to struggle to get Adderall without judgment from their own doctors and pharmacists, when it’s literally one of the only high percentage treatments for ADHD.
In this article, it’s made clear how there is a legal meth medication for ADHD and the doctors note that that “They are very similar medications. Their chemical structure is almost the same”.
Meth and Adderall are not always chemically identical, but their makeup and effects are very similar and their difference is largely in how much amphetamine is prescribed and how it’s used and how poorly it is manufactured and regulated.
If accurate medical information causes you to stigmatize others, you’ll have to reexamine your own beliefs after learning more.
“Since Adderall is chemically meth” is not medical information, nor is it accurate, but is what you posted.
Literally the next sentence after your quoted line:
While these small differences are important in how they affect us, without a degree in chemistry, they can be difficult to discern.
Then, digging just ONE CENTIMETER FURTHER into either article, the OP is clearly about illegal meth, and the article you linked describes illegal meth as wildly, exponentially different from Desoxyn or Adderall.
Get your harmful bullshit out of here. “How is this news?” Idk try reading the article man.
Idk who taught people the incorrect definition for “exponentially different”, but it does not mean “identical”, “very similar” or “minutely different”.
And how “different” illegal meth is from legal meth is based on its dosages and regulation, which both articles state.
So yea, you could read the articles, I just don’t know if they would benefit you since your reading comprehension isn’t up to snuff.
From your linked article that you don’t seem to have read beyond whatever quote you think vindicates the incorrect thing you typed:
However, Brody explains it’s essential to understand that the safety and tolerability of legalized prescription ADHD medications are miles apart compared with illegal meth.
“To emphasize this, I will compare it to the degree to which the distance to the moon dwarfs the distance to the local supermarket,” he states.
I’d say to learn to fucking read, but that’s not even the main problem with you. It’s not even the condescending smugness while being clearly wrong, though that does make you insufferable.
The real problem is how the only conversation you want to have is to undermine a valid news article for invalid reasons and to undermine the people responding with relevant lived experience, then intentionally miss the point and double down to attempt to convince yourself you didn’t say something stupid in the first place. Fuck off.

You do know that agreeing with my previous comments and article is not the slam you think it is, right?

Yea, projecting your exact issues onto others is a valid choice.
Love how being right translates into being wrong if you don’t like the science.
