Selling Ritalin: Making ADHD look like a joke

I also feel like I have less unexpected exciting impulsive stuff happen since i'm medicated but I rather take that than to get screamed at by others all day long and feeling constantly like i'm not able to adapt to normal life. In 3 months I've skipped only 2 days (not in a row) of meds and I made sure it was days I didn't have important stuff or meeting with people or having to drive. I only skipped for a day at the beach and for one day where the plan was only to go to the gym with my fiancé. I don't mind taking my meds, it's not like they're keeping me from having pleasure etc...

I'm not working right now. I think if I were, I'd be WAY more appreciative of meds. Being a lazy part time student is not helping me get the most out of my treatment. I can look back at past jobs I've had, and see were meds clearly would have made my life better.

ADHD is so situational. I have discovered that public speaking is a thousand times easier for me with medication. I will never attend a job interview or attempt to give a lecture without them again. If my life were more demanding overall, I could see how I might feel more grateful for the improvements they provide me with.

Right now though, I often just focus on how they ruin my free time. I know this is bad, but it's a very hard outlook to change.

ok if anybody here is going to sell you may need a legal paper to be signed saying you are in no way responsible for their death or hospitalization since they made the choice to put it in their system (with or without other substances in them at the time of ingestion)

Not sure how it works in the rest of the world but in Oz it's a criminal offence to sell / give schedule 8 meds. Doubt a disclaimer would protect you legally.

Selling is a criminal offence in the US as well.

selling any kind of drug whether legal or illegal is a criminal offense but I don't think you are held responsible for someone's death unless that person is a kid? The crime would only be "selling drugs" not "having killed someone as a result" as it's the person's choice to ingest the pill...

[Conman]

yeah. i mean im not saying i will sell (see last post), but HYPOTHETICALLY are any drug dealers responsible for the buyer overdosing on what they bought from them? no, if they got arrested itd be for the reasons a dealer gets arrested (possession with intent to sell, huge amounts of drugs, etc.)

I'm sorry but let's inject a little humour here (since its been some time since my rant and I feel better lol). It's kinda funny how we're now talking about how we would go about selling our meds. Come on its kinda funny. :P

I remember in highschool there were a few kids who used to sell their add pills just because it made them more popular and cool with the older kids.
Sadly even now at the age of 25 i Still see people my age selling them at parties, pathetic.

I'm using that next time I'm angry at someone.

Do scorpions really make homes in a cactus?

I've actually thought that I would have been tempted to do this in high school.

I was always giving people things because I thought it would make them like me, I'm sure I would have given away meds too. I had zero judgement in high school. It's probably for the best that I wasn't diagnosed sooner.

Thanks @Zevispaz! I'm always saying ridiculous, overly expressive things lol. I dunno they just come out lmao. ADHD at its finest lol.

[alisno1fan]

Oh n I dunno if scorpions do. Well, even if they don't build a home at least a cactus that us covered in them. Lol

I read that as

You can go suck on a giant scorpion's infected cactus.

I thought cactus was an err euphemism for a scorpion's umm..private parts???

If they have any???

Either way it's pretty imaginative. I like it.

Feel free to use any of my overly expressive comments/comebacks. Whatever tickles your pickle or floats your boat. Good to see some humour in here.

People that sell their meds or share them make those of us that really need it suffer. It makes doctors more hesitant and brings unnecessary media nonsense as truth to the Nt world.
