re: Can Adderall abuse be tamed?

If you want to get onto a really good topic, simply ask how humans survived and functioned prior to the invention of these stimulants. If ADD/ADHD was such an issue to the extent we see now prior to the medications’ invention, humanity would neither have survived nor prospered. Nothing would have been built or invented. Society must have been at an absolute standstill.

It is an exaggerated issue that is extremely overprescribed but it is a legitimate condition that affects a small percentage.
Even without the meds, society would still function and thrive. There would just be a small percentage of people that probably wouldn’t reach their same potential.

For some, it’s not something that can just be tackled through hard work and self discipline.
