  1. Stop giving to people that don’t need them, start arresting the junkies that are taking them too…..this will stop the shortage

  2. Oh riiiight, "increased demand" and "manufacturing" are their excuses? Well they can sure crank out the FENTANYL now can't they… o,O

  3. Need some ADDERALL ? Ask Trump to release his stockpiled supply… 🤣💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊🤣🤣🤣🤣

  4. amphetamines you take for a life time what could go wrong

  5. or you could just not turn your kid into a drug addict

  6. Sure they are another way to gouge prices in America

  7. someone must be hoarding it for a future party

  8. "let them eat meth." -French Revolution

  9. CBD/THC NOT AMA/CDC BIG PHARMA KILLERS

  10. Try Jesus Christ, the Great Physician.

    that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

    Romans 10:9‭-‬10 KJV

    Amen.

  11. Good. We shouldn't be giving kids meth.

  12. Is sandal production down, too?

  13. No legal meth kids😵‍💫

  14. If you could do some you could take so many a day

  15. As a person with ADHD…the meds never helped me the best "medicine" was actually fidget/stress toys. Ironically playing with them helped me focus.

  16. Try being a teacher without medication! My students don’t have medication, my doctor is no help, and my pharmacist is basically a robot doing a mediocre impression of a human being.

  17. That crap made me stupid as a kid. Parents didn’t care. They got paid too do it by the government

  18. We can send billions to Ukraine and we can help the droves of "asylum seekers", but we can't seem to help our own citizens.

  19. get those kiddies their meth!!!!

  20. The fact you have to jump through shoots and ladders just to maybe get an addy prescription these days has already been negatively impacting people on mass in this country for close to 2 decades. Most people with ADHD don't get to have adderall and a huge number of the people on these meds don't even have ADHD. Everything about how we're handling stimulants in this country is completely backwards.

  21. I used to take Adderall. I was prescribed it and I would get high on it if I took too many pills. I believe it's just an addictive drug that makes drug companies rich just like a lot of other stuff they over prescribe.

  22. People may experience:

    Behavioral: aggression, excitability, fidgeting, hyperactivity, impulsivity, irritability, lack of restraint, or persistent repetition of words or actions

    Cognitive: absent-mindedness, difficulty focusing, forgetfulness, problem paying attention, or short attention span

    Mood: anger, anxiety, boredom, excitement, or mood swings

    Also common: depression or learning disability
