"psa adhd gang, people recreationally using or abusing stimulants is not why they're hard to get, they're hard to get because doctors can be absolute motherfuckers with egos the size of saturn who like to play god with people's lives. if they didn't have the "drug seeking behavior" line to use as a tool to be a dick, they'd just say "tsk tsk you're obviously wrong about your own symptoms" a little more often than they already do. peace and love on planet amphetamines.

and this gets me because. it's like there's a contingent of adhders who heard that we're predisposed to substance abuse issues and, rather than connecting the dots of "substance abuse is often a coping mechanism resorted to in the wake of insufficient care for a psychological disorder, stigma against addicts is one more link in the chain of systemic societal ableism," instead thought "drug users are dangerous and selfish people who are out to do harm to uniquely vulnerable people like me." for a while I put this mindset down to the lack of experience and time to process ideas that comes with youth; it still sucks, but the people I knew in middle school who had bad takes about drugs and alcohol no longer think that way now we're in college, and mostly they changed their minds on their own instead of needing me or someone else to call them out directly. but there are subsets of adhd communities who used these talking points when their average age was 15 in 2016 and are still using them now when their average age is 22. so maybe the hot new trend for 2023 should be interrogating the propaganda you've been fed about drug users for your whole life and considering whether these ideas hold up to compassionate scrutiny and who benefits if you believe them."

#Captagon is a synthetic drug that has turned #Syria into a narco-state. The illicit industry behind this #amphetamine is estimated to be worth billions of dollars, with over 400 million tablets seized in the #MiddleEast in 2021. So who is profiting from this #trafficking? Where is the drug produced? How is it flooding the region and the rest of the world? We take a closer look at how captagon trafficking has reached the highest levels of the Syrian state.

In the 1980, NASA scientists exposed spiders to different drugs and then observed the webs that they constructed. Those drugs included #LSD, speed ( #amphetamine), #marijuana, and #caffeine. Book [Why We Sleep; Author: Matthew Walker]

#Drugism: the plethora of assumptions + preconceptions which people hold about particular substances & the people who use them.

We've all experienced it; we've all perpetuated it; still, freedom from drugism is a worthy goal.

I invite other #harmreduction advocates to use this term as a simple way to describe what we are up against.

I recently published a book about drugism. Peep an excerpt here:

@noelle On that note the USA appears to be having a national #amphetamine shortage. Apparently the primary manufacturer (read: mafia run monopoly) of amphetamines decided to stop paying its workers money, and now production is shut down and you can't get the stuff in a lot of places. I'm going to try again to convince the nurse practitioner to let me stop taking them. Hopefully it won't be too terrible.

Bei einer Polizeibeamtin in #NRW wurde bei einer Durchsuchung #Amphetamine, dienstliche Munition und ein Gewehr gefunden.

Die Durchsuchung galt nicht ihr. Die Polizei vermutete ihren Geliebten bei ihr, der im Polizeiskandale #Essen verdächtigt wird. /TN
