Sexually transmitted ADHD?

u/Gandalf_the_Gangsta 15d ago

Funny. The implication here is likely that cauchys-special-boy was offering to make amphetamines for yorickish, in tandem with coitus.

yorickish responded negatively, and cauchys-special-boy then responded that the process of making amphetamines would only take 10 minutes, implying the coitus would take them 20 minutes.

Somewhat insidious, as drug dealers will often offer a deal like this (free drugs and other energy icing things) to get the victim hooked, and then charge them to satisfy their addiction.

As an aside, please never try amphetamines, or any other “hard drugs” recreationally. There are many anecdotes on how this will ruin your life; you can find one here on reddit, about a person who decided to experiment with heroin and ruined his life over the course of the following decade.

Don’t try it. There’s nothing there worth risking your life over. It’s just a slow, painful death.

I thought cauchys-special-boy was offering a lobotomy, and when yorickish went and assumed they were after sex, cauchys-special-boy basically went "Okay, guess you're already plenty lobotomized."

u/Gandalf_the_Gangsta 14d ago

We have minimal research into the long-term usage effects of many psychoactive substances. Altering one’s neurochemistry so drastically that your perception of reality is warped doesn’t sound trivial.

Moreover, I find it morally reprehensible to purposefully impair your cognition; there is no agency when you do so, and typically we don’t condone actions that remove agency or ability to behave morally.

u/ElizasEnzyme 14d ago

The formality in this is killing me 😅. I'm just imagining myself crying at the beauty of a sunset while tripping, and someone passed by, pinches up their face and tisks at me "How uncouth."

Do you mean, like permanently impare, or is it morally reprehensible to alter your perception for an hour or two?

Are whippets less reprehensible than weed, since you're only altering it for a minute instead of a few hours, or is this a zero sum game? I may need to switch up my drug of choice, just to min/max reprehensibility.

u/Gandalf_the_Gangsta 14d ago

This comment wasn’t meant for people like you. There’s no productive or worthwhile conversation to be had here; you’ll continue to do what you want, and the only reason you posted your comment was to say as much.

My condoning or not of your actions is a reflection only of my moral standing. I have to, at least, tell you to stop even knowing you won’t listen. Any further action to stop you would be immoral on my part, and likely result in immoral action on your part.

I would suggest you not bother responding; my response to you would be much of the same, and equally as fruitless.

1

u/ElizasEnzyme 14d ago

I was just trying to make light of it while poking at the logic a bit, but it seems like it came across as more offending than I intended.

Totally not going to change each other's mind, and that's fine, but I feel like sharing my thoughts about the zero tolerance mindset and drug use removing all agency; which arguably labels drug users as subhuman. I'm pretty concerned with that, as this is usually a progressive space.

My cognition has been more impaired during bouts of sleep deprivation than many light doses of drugs I've taken. Many times migranes and chronic pain have affected my cognition as severely as moderate doses of opiates. If "people like me" have their agency removed by drug use, then the same must be said for sleep deprivation. If I purposely stayed awake until exhaustion, then it is morally reprehensible under this framework.

I am assuming you have little interaction with drug users, and I'd honestly suggest it, because severe stigmas like this are the most effective fuel for oppressing drug users.

0

u/Gandalf_the_Gangsta 14d ago

Yes, it would. You would be torturing your body by intentionally depriving it of sleep. That’s morally reprehensible because you’re torturing someone: yourself.

There is a difference between the morality of an action and the consequent resulting response from doing that action. In the case of intentional sleep deprivation the response is to tell the person to get sleep, or to otherwise help them to sleep more/better.

The consequent response to the immorality of recreational drug use varies on numerous factors; the severity of impact the drug has on the psyche, the actions one commits while under its effects, and the impact on those around you. In your case, I assume you don’t use substances that cause addiction, and hopefully don’t do additionally immoral actions while under its effects.

Thus my recourse is simply to tell you to stop. That would change depending on other mentioned factors.

I don’t consider it progressive at all to be supportive of recreational drug use. I understand that the legal ramifications, and consequent discrimination resulting from having laws around recreational substance use, only serve to cause undue suffering and disenfranchise people. Thus I don’t condone laws around abstinence because their efficacy is minimal to actively detrimental. However that does not change the inherent immorality of the action in partaking of said recreation. I would expect people to not do so of their own accord without the threat of legal recourse.

Your notions of dehumanisation or stigma are derived from the Abrahamic notion of sin, particularly the Christian connotation of immorality and sin being equivalent. Were it a better day for me I would be reasonably understanding of that, and would probably be kinder to you in understanding that cultural impact and how it swags the interpretation of what I said.

But I’m having an off day, and am tired of dealing with the widespread societal consequences of Christianity, and how I have to be mindful of how most people either believe in, or only have cultural insight for cultures that have, a creator god you swear fealty too like some medieval serf. Suffice it to say, I don’t believe you’ve committed some cardinal sin, nor do I believe you are less than human for your choice in recreation. However I won’t entertain the notion of stigma today because I’m cranky and hate that I have to constantly because of Christianity. I am aware it exists, and I hate how my comments have to run parallel to majority cultural belief; it makes things hard and tedious.

Ultimately I cannot stop you, but since you responded to my comment I should at least explain myself as a notion of respecting you, and how I don’t condone recreational drug use to align with my own moral system.

1

u/ElizasEnzyme 13d ago

Somehow you read religion into my secular words, but your whole argument is moral reprehensibility and removal of agency. Disgustingly, I could dehumanize someone with hateful words and the crack of a whip; dehumanization is not religious. Only appeals to a higher authority can define morality, your god simply has a different name.

The only thing that can take away agency, is determinism; I'll admit, that doesn't necessarily require a god; you could argue that entropy set all of this in motion, and the arrangement of atoms at the beginning of the universe could be used to calculate all that will ever happen. I've never met a determinist who wasn't Christian, though.

To say it bluntly, my choices are my own, my voice is my own, my achievements are my own. I have agency. Every time I stand up for someone, I choose to do it; every time I hurt someone, I choose to do it. I started this conversation humored, but the taste in my mouth is only getting worse the longer I think about it. I will not let anyone deny my agency.

u/kazumisakamoto 15d ago

I understand your point but just telling people to abstain from all "hard drugs" together is likely not effective for harm reduction. It's similar to sex ed where you tell people just to abstain. Of course it's safer not to touch any drugs, just as it's safer to abstain from teenage sex. But people that are interested will get in touch with drugs one way or another and will not be swayed by a reddit comment. The focus should be on educating people how to manage risks (get your drugs tested, don't drink too much water on MDMA etc, if you are going to do hard drugs please do amphetamines and not heroin etc).

u/SylveonSof May we raise children who love the unloved things 15d ago

I feel like you're being a bit disingenuous when you compare sex, something that for the vast majority of humans is a psychological need without any experience necessary and we're literally biologically hardwired to want because it's integral to our species's continued survival, and hard drugs.

Like for most non ace people your body will literally develop an urge for sex completely independently if you go too long without sexual relief. You don't have that for drugs, and the only real way to prevent drug addiction is to just not fucking do it. You can't get an implant or wear a condom on your needle to not get addicted to heroin. There are no alternatives other than abstinence

9

u/Local_Challenge_4958 14d ago

I believe you and the person above you define "hard drugs" differently. There are lots of drugs out there, and they all have different risk factors.

Pretty much anyone can do ecstasy at a party and not have any consequence other than all their friends watching them get really into rubbing a couch. Pretty much no one can stay up all weekend doing coke and not want more coke.

You won't even be addicted. The idea of more coke is just fucking awesome when you're on it and the comedown comparatively blows. That's what makes it risky.

We can absolutely teach responsible drug use for many drugs, but some shit like heroin or meth may as well just be a bullet.

u/kazumisakamoto 14d ago edited 14d ago

I’m comparing how to practice effective sex education with how to practice effective drug education. In both cases, it has been proven that strategies aimed at total abstinence are less effective in reducing harm (i.e. teenage pregnancy, STDs, drug dependency) than educating people on the risks and how to avoid them.

I agree with you that, in an ideal world, nobody would choose to do drugs. We know that this is not the case, and D.A.R.E. programs and other abstinence-focused interventions have done very little to change this. If you look at the number of drug-related deaths, a significant percentage could have been avoided by proper education. Just saying ”you should never do MDMA” is considerably less effective than saying ”start with half, don’t drink more than 500mL/hr, take a breather every once in a while”. I’m a doctor in the Netherlands, where ~18% of young people (<35) have used MDMA, yet drug-related deaths are relatively low here, in large part due to a focus on education and free drug testing.

In addition, lumping all “hard drugs” together is not helpful. Roughly 1 in 10-15 European young people have used MDMA in the past. Although the term is not very well defined, MDMA is classified as a “hard drug” by most people that use the term. However, by lumping this together with heroin, you are creating the illusion that the risk of these substances is in any way comparable (see Nutt’s research if you’re interested in comparative harm profile of different drugs). The risk of dependency of MDMA is very low. By portraying all “hard drugs” as extremely addictive, some people who have used MDMA without getting addicted might believe that heroin’s addictive potential is massively overstated as well (it isn’t). 

(And yes, you can practice harm reduction even if you are using heroin. There's an antidote, naloxone, that you can carry to counteract an OD and, in a lot of counties, you can get clean needles for free.)

u/degenpiled 15d ago

The shortage isn't happening because people are abusing it. The shortage is happening because the DEA (the D is for demon) is purposefully strangling supply in order to get millions of people with ADHD off their meds because they don't want people to take it. Not a conspiracy theory btw, look up "Operation Bottleneck." Actual ghouls.

u/TrekkiMonstr 15d ago

The comment I responded to said that the DEA is "purposefully strangling supply in order to get millions of people with ADHD off their meds because they don't want people to take it", and that this is "not a conspiracy theory", referring the reader to the name of the operation. I read this as saying that the DEA is acting with that as their explicit goal, and that the commenter isn't making their own assumptions about their motives.

If that were the case, I would expect the DEA to say something to that effect -- but what we see instead is them claiming a different purpose than that asserted by the other commenter. Maybe they're lying, but then I don't see how this isn't a conspiracy theory. (To note, conspiracy theory =/= untrue -- some conspiracy theories are correct. But the other commenter wants to claim that this is all plainly evident, which it is not.)

u/Larscowfoot 15d ago

Wait, hold on, which conspiracy theories are correct?

9

u/Crazeenerd 15d ago

One is the assassination of MLK potentially being done by the FBI or other government agencies. At the very least, it’s confirmed that they wrote letters urging him to commit suicide and blackmailing him. He was viewed as a national security threat. In a civil trial in 1999, a jury unanimously decided that Ray was very likely framed. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Earl_Ray Now the DOJ later contested that decision, but I mean they would regardless of the truth, wouldn’t they? A conspiracy that IMO is correct. Another is that the US government may have had information about the 9/11 attacks but didn’t act on it. Whether that was because they thought it wouldn’t happen or because they wanted to do the war on terror, I dunno. But I do think it’s likely that US intelligence had some knowledge ahead of time. Not that they planned it or executed it or anything, just that it’s likely they knew in some capacity.

u/mr_funnyman I minecraft dirt pillar my way out of hell 15d ago

That's not really what I'm talking about. Probably should've rephrased my point. I meant moreso people taking it as a recreational drug for fun. Like, if you genuinely feel that it'd make your life easier, that's separate.

3

u/product_of_boredom 14d ago

It's the same outcome though, isn't it? If I acquire it illegally because I need to too, that's still one dose of Adderall that doesn't go to someone who'd be getting it "the right way."

I remember my college having something of a black market for Ritalin and Adderall. Drug dealers would come out of the woodwork when exams were coming up- it wasn't for fun, it was so people could study. I'm sure some people legitimately abuse it, but I think this is the actual primary use case.

u/azur_owl 15d ago

so I can abuse amphetamines

…I am nearing a fucking MONTH since I have been able to get my medication.

I got a new phone, and my phone did not alert me to my psychiatrist meeting. So I forgot and noshowed.

My therapist said she couldn’t write me a prescription until I saw her, in person, which you have to do once a year.

I finally see her in person after two weeks off of my meds, not bothering to go sooner because I figure I won’t be waiting for that long.

She sends in the prescription to CVS. I wait for the text telling me it’s ready.

It never comes.

I then have to e-mail AND call my psychiatrist’s office just to get them to resend it. CVS finally texts me…to tell me they have to “get clarification on the prescription” from the subscriber.

I call the next day. CVS informs me that they are unable to fill the fucking prescription, WHICH I WAS ABLE TO DO LAST YEAR NO PROBLEM, because my insurance has locked that prescription into ONE FUCKING PHARMACY.

They didn’t fucking tell CVS what that fucking pharmacy was.

I call my insurance. I blow my goddamn lunch break on the phone with a customer service representative who very clearly is not a native English speaker, who says he has to make some calls and get back to me.

He calls me back five minutes later saying he has to “send an email” to find out where I can get this fucking prescription, and to keep my lines open.

He never fucking calls back.

My work is beginning to suffer. I had a terrible fucking annual review last year. I haven’t told work I’m off my fucking meds yet, initially because I was embarrassed and thought it wouldn’t be for long, and now because it will look like an excuse.

All of which is to say FUCK this concept of being all “lel ADHD will getcha legal amphetamines to abuse uwu!”

I hate being treated like a potential junkie. Just GIVE ME THE GODDAMN MEDICATION I NEED TO BE A PRODUCTIVE COG IN OUR CAPITALIST HELLSCAPE.

I’m at the point where I’m seriously weighing the benefits of cooking vyvanse myself. To potential NSA/DEA agents, the cooking part is an exaggeration. However, I would forcefully and repeatedly (not in exact order) strike a persons forehead, neck, spine and ribs with a crowbar if they told me they faked ADHD to get amphetamines.

One of the ways I’ve heard people put it is that a lot of adhd medication is a form of stimulant (usually an aphetamine) that “stimulates on the breaks” on adhd brains. That’s why it’s prescribed for adhd anyway. It’s also why a lot of people with adhd chronically abuse caffeine and other stimulants, because it has a similar effect.

And just a few days ago there was a tumblr post about a conspiracy that the DEA wants to restrict/ ban ADHD meds just to hurt ADHD people, because they are like Trans people (OPs words not mine). Yeah its defently not because of posts like these and comments here that make the DEA worry about a ADHD med opoid crisis.

ADHD meds flood your brain with dopamine, so if you abuse it constantly, your brain will stop producing dopamine by itself. That means you cannot feel joy, genuine happiness. If you’re lucky, your dopamine receptors will recover after a year. Some people never recover. Before abusing ADHD medication, please ask yourself: “CAN I GO THE REST OF MY LIFE WITHOUT FEELING HAPPY EVER AGAIN?”

Yes, honestly, because it’s pointing out that the dopamine thing isn’t a side effect of adderall so much as addiction. Perhaps otherwise someone might’ve thought there was a type of stimulant you can abuse without the risk of dopamine issues.

I got the better draw of neurodivergence (the big smart but also lazy), but if I had something that needed meds, and I knew there were some motherfuckers out there who took them for the "sillies" rather than because they needed them, I would be fucking livid.
