Meth is prescribed for adhd, but only as a medication of last resort. What this means is you need such severe adhd it’s worth the tradeoff and no other medication has sufficiently helped.
And yeah, I can sometimes look addicted to my amphetamines, but that’s only because I have a dread of what being unmedicated is like. All my responsibilities slip through the cracks and I make dangerous and stupid errors like walking away from the stove or car accidents.
“Addiction” is a propaganda word, like “terrorist.” I’m “addicted” to water and food. I’m “addicted” to sleep. Billions of people are “addicted” to high-cholesterol medication, to anti-depressants, to heart medication. But because it can be abused, it’s not a life-sustaining preventative medication, it’s an “addiction.”
