The White House has its own pharmacy—and, boy, was it shady under Trump
arstechnica.com
It wasted $750K during the Trump years and freely handed out Ambien and Provigil.

You get an Ambien, and you get an Ambien. EVERYBODY GETS AN AMBIEN!!!

    For those not speaking in brand names, it’s about zolpidem (sedative, used for insomnia) and modafinil (stimulant, used for narcolepsy and as a go-pill) both are controlled substances

      Modafinil is just like a strong cup of coffee without any jitters. The only reason it’s controlled is because people would abuse it to stay up longer. I was taking two a day when I was on lithium because lithium made me tired as hell, I was still so sleeping 9+ hours at night.
