    If you’re wondering, 5 percent of white college students adds up to about 3.75 million people who aren’t necessarily addicts and are effectively wasting supply of the drug.

        You don’t think nearly 4 million extra users are going to hurt supply?

          It’s mainly because of a manufacturing issue. Increased demand is certainly a factor but there is undeniably much less stimulant medication available than normal from manufacturers.

            So there’s multiple factors. Including people wasting the supply.

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

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

                Then it’s a pretty dick move to try and cheat with it isn’t it?

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