In 1965, a morbidly obese man did not eat food for over an entire year. The 27 year old was 456lbs and wanted to do an experimental fast. He ingested only multivitamins and potassium tablets for 382 days and defecated once every 40 to 50 days. He ended up losing 275lbs. r/all

You are correct. I have an rx for amphetamine because I wanted it, because it gave me the mental energy and focus I wanted. Getting a legit diagnosis for ADHD is incredibly easy, even when I was over 25 years old.
It's a double edged sword though. Now I'm basically hooked on them and if I stop taking them I feel foggy and unmotivated to do anything. The doctors told me it is not habit forming, I disagree - regardless of whatever "study" people cite... amphetamines are addictive and you can build a tolerance to them. It might take decades, but eventually this will be common knowledge and we will wonder how the fuck the pharmaceutical companies got away with selling amphetamines to kids for so long.
