That's some broad brush of ignorance you're painting with; "they like the high it gives" is laughable.

That's why they used a throwaway. No doubt, some people will get adderall or w/e for that reason, perhaps, but all people like the feeling of being productive; people with a real issue just very rarely feel that unless they slow down the giant double-lane roundabout of their thoughts.

Take a look at the generic name for desoxyn. I mean, if I can get it from a doctor, I'll give it a shot.

That's pretty ridiculous thing for you to say as the post I was replying quite clearly implied using the phrase "over-prescription" they were discussing abuse of a drug for productivity. That part wasn't really in question, my observation and experience is merely that abusing ADHD drugs does not actually have this effect.

Unless you're actually arguing in favor of taking performance enhancing drugs for the purpose of boosting productivity, which based on your reaction I'd guess that you are.
