        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.

              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.
