re: Is Adderall the new Opioid?

quote:

I know more and more people who are taking Adderall as a stimulant and to gain "focus", and it's not just college kids, it's people from all walks of life. Plenty of doctors are handing out scripts like they're candy. Some people are taking their own children's medication. There are side effects, and it is addictive. Will this follow a similar path as opioids, where doctors are eventually severely limited in prescribing Adderall and addicts turn to meth to keep their groove on?

Don't worry the big pharmacy machine is right around the corner with the next greatest wonder pill that is totally safe and non habit forming for everyone ills.

Why do some people refuse to take accountability for their own actions? Why also do other people refuse to hold those people accountable and in fact enable those people to continue to make wrecks of their lives treating them as if they are victims of some conspiracy?
This country has created generations of perpetual children. Irresponsible children at that.
