Image not quite for ADHPeeps but I feel this sort of thing happens regularly for us as well.

Reminds me of when people find out I do cocaine and Adderall.

"Oh Michael likes to get high"

No, Michael doesn't have health insurance and has very severe adhd. I can't live a normal life without stimulants and drug dealers are cheaper than doctors. welcome to America.

Cocaine bad for mental health. Even with ADHD cocaine is so cut and stepped on its not reliable enough to get anything done.

[-] Aeao@lemmy.world 15 points 12 hours ago

It falls into the "better than nothing" category for me. I'm aware it's absolutely not a good idea.

[-] MrPoopyButthole@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 10 hours ago

I'm sorry your government failed you so badly. That's a tough place to be in.

[-] Aeao@lemmy.world 15 points 9 hours ago

Thank you Mr poopybutthole

Damn mate, that's really rough. I did see recently how US companies are taking advantage of the made-up scarcity to scalp people with ADHD to the point where the black market is more affordable. I only you know what you're doing vis-a-vis risks from tainted batches.

It's a problem with the categorization. They're treated like oxy legally so they aren't allowed to manufacture over a certain amount.

[-] Aeao@lemmy.world 15 points 12 hours ago

I do worry about getting a hot batch and dying but that's just the state of America today. Women will be getting dangerous back ally abortions as well soon.

Why the combination? I have no idea about either.

[-] Aeao@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

It's not a combination. I'd try to buy Adderall which is what a doctor would prescribe but there is an Adderall shortage because... Well because people sell their meds to drug dealers so the FDA clamped down.

So if Adderall isn't available or too expensive I buy cocaine and use small amounts to combat my condition.

The "bad guys" are bridging the gap!

[-] Aeao@lemmy.world 7 points 10 hours ago

You nailed it. I fall into the insurance gap in my state. I make too much for free healthcare but not enough to qualify for discounts on healthcare. The Fed thinks I should be helped by my state, my state disagrees.

I'll give you a hint with a fake headline...

"Man attempts to marry racoons but refuses to sign the racoons pre-nup"

What state is it?

[-] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 6 points 10 hours ago

Free market capitalism… fuck this place

[-] Aeao@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

Kind of off topic but when people say "capitalism is evil" it reminds me of the people who say "socialism never works"

The rebuttal is always "well REAL socialism hasn't been tried. Soviet Russia was a bastardization of the system!"

I feel that way about capitalism. America isn't a capitalist system. It's a corrupt oligarchy and that's the issue. If we had REAL capitalism I wouldn't be having this problem. Not saying life would be perfect I'm just saying corruption is the reason I can't afford a doctor, not capitalism.
