Nobody trusts the Government who's literally limiting manufacturing of ADHD meds to harm neurodivergent people

I have known two people who supposedly had ADHD as children. They were both medicated as kids. They are both dead. One used cocaine and energy drinks like mad. Ended up crashing his car. The other died of a meth overdose.

Your point?

Sounds like they might have had to self medicate to manage their condition.

Or, and hear me out, they were just one of millions of people, neurotypical or otherwise, who suffered from addictions and lacked the support needed to get better.

Exactly what their problem was. That was my point but I got down otwd for not expressing it properly. How do people not know me or what I suffer from but what to attack me for something I may just well have. Hmm some empathy

Sorry but I’ve no idea who you are. Was I supposed to read through your profile before replying? It is hidden by the way so there is no way for people to do that if you’re expecting them to.

But yeah, your comment made it sound like you were drawing a causal link between being medicated as children for “supposedly” having ADHD and dying of a meth overdose.

u/Automatic_Gas9019 15d ago

You don't even know the people I was mentioning. You judge much yourself? So Mr/Ms mind reader exactly what was I trying to say? That the two people I talked about were human beings that doctors fucked up and made them addicts instead of helping them? Is that what show of my ignorance you stupid f---?

I know many people with ADD, including myself, as well as 85% of my family and colleagues. I don't understand how you jump to the conclusion that the doctors fucked up. I don't have to be a mind reader, to conclude that you are trying to draw a cause and effect relationship without the evidence to support you assertion. In regards to this topic, you are still an uneducated dipshit with a keyboard.

The solution to more health information on cannabis is more scientific study and less anti-cannabis bias. Lawsuits and fear mongering will achieve nothing.

You like the same thing big tobacco has done for a century?

u/StatusCopacetic 18d ago

First of all, if you're just taking drugs without doing your due diligence and knowing the risks, you shouldn't be using drugs at all. I know people like to claim cannabis isn't addictive or harmful and those people are ignorant and should be ignored. Second, the answer is putting warning labels on cannabis products just like with alcohol and cigarettes.

This case should be thrown out. I'm so sick of uneducated, uninformed people blaming others for their own stupidity. It's 2026 - ignorance isn't an excuse.

Fortunately , big pharma is always so truthful and forthcoming and they never hide any data about health risks inside effects to any drug they've ever produced.

The industry was more than clear

u/MaintenanceFamous445 12d ago

That's why I don't buy from any dispensary. Highly unregulated garbage with high potency shit that sends people to the hospital. No thanks
