Or just maybe... Some drugs dont work on certain people and they dont know why but ADHD appears to be involved?
Or just maybe you shouldn't share information that could cause someone to harm themselves.
Why would somebody harm themselves just because they found out something about somebody else?
To be fair I'm probably being oversensitive to it, but if you want to be technical about it, someone could read your post and think: "I should try street opiates and see if they have an effect on me, and if they don't like this poster, then I am very likely to have ADHD."
Let's imagine for this person, they struggle mentally all the time but can't afford or get to a doctor or proper care, and so this actually becomes the most reasonable test for them to administer themselves.
I understand I'm nitpicking and creating a scenario in my mind doesn't make it real, I just personally would choose to play it safe and at least word things more carefully.
Again I'm not saying you can't day what you said, just that there technically is a non-zero risk to it.
I sincerely hope nobody reads my post and decides to consume opiates. That is not my goal. I was just trying to point out that while some of us seem to have a mental barrier that prevents them from getting high off adderall, others of us it's our white whale of high we are chasing.
For me, having recreationally used everything under the sun almost, adderall is the only drug I was ever an "addict" of beyond nicotine.
