      The government actually limits how much each manufacturer is allowed to produce, that’s the actual cause of the shortage.

            They aren’t even actually good for cheating on tests. I’d understand if they were getting high.

                People are trying to use them like performance enhancing drugs for academia. But of course, they don’t work like that for normal people.

                  I guess, but aren’t we using it as ‘performance enhancing’ to be on the same level as other people? Like glasses. If someone who didn’t need glasses wore special glasses that helped them see better, would it be cheating? Maybe, actually. I’m not sure lol

                    I’m not talking about people with ADHD. These are normal people trying to do this even though studies show it doesn’t work that way for normal people.

        this right there. actual synthesis is pretty easy, reliable, well developed no matter if we’re talking about amphetamine or methylphenidate
