I don't think that's a very kind thing to say about the medications for people for who ADHD medications like amphetamines and methylphenidates have meant a huge improvement in quality of life.

That it has helped people doesn't make the comparison untrue.

We shouldn't lose sight of the fact that many drugs with reputations of illegitimate/illegal use are readily provided to patients (including children) in a pharmaceutical context, most notably amphetamines and opiates.

My point was that plenty of people use adderall without being diagnosed with ADHD.

Adderall is a euphemism for amphetamine the same way that speed is a dysphemism.

Hence "speed with a PG rating".

I don't think being unkind to molecules is something to worry about, they can't be offended.
