Reply to comment by charons-voyage in ADHDers of Boston: Stimulant shortage advice by [deleted]
The DEA did not raise production caps for 2023 despite knowing demand has skyrocketed. It's also very convenient that they engineered this shortage right before Vyvanse is about to go generic, forcing a lot of patients to switch to a very expensive alternative so Big Pharma can get one last hit of record profits.
I honestly don't give a fuck if telemedicine is giving scripts to dead people. When's the last time a fucking cop got into med school? Being a fucking moron is a job requirement to become a cop. Show me the DEA agents' medical license. These unelected thugs need to be brought to heel. Drugs won the war on drugs. Send the soldiers packing. Abolish the DEA, they contribute absolutely nothing to society.
It just goes to show how deep the stigma on mental health runs, that y'all think it's acceptable for us to be collateral damage. Imagine if they did this for insulin, or any other medicine that doctors consider medically necessary. These unelected pigs have no right to decide any of this. They are lawless and unaccountable. It took them four months to bother responding to Rep. Spanberger's letters on this topic. They even refused the president's direct orders to reschedule cannabis. Who the fuck do they think they are?

Adderall IS medically necessary. Especially if you take it for narcolepsy. The general public doesn’t understand the complexity of ADHD, especially inattentive type. It’s not just hyperactive little boys who are impulsive, it is a disorder that can cause significant impacts to quality of life and even life in general for some people.
And it doesn’t just magically go away when you turn 18, in fact more and more women in their 30-40’s are being diagnosed because we were overlooked when we were children in the 90’s since people did think it was just for hyperactive little boys.

Then they look at those 30-40 year olds getting scripts at record rates and use that as justification to refuse to raise the supply limits. It's all absolutely maddening.
The C2 classification is becoming more and more unjustifiable. It's not fentanyl for god's sake.
