Yeah, a NT might get something “extra” out of some ADHD meds. But effective meds just help ADHD people calmer (for lack of a better word), and able to focus. Pretty much exactly the opposite of what one would think “meth” would do to a person. Taking a med holiday, a day or weekend where you skip meds, is pretty easy for a lot of people, too. There’s no addiction driving the taking of the medication, and as the meme suggests, it’s pretty easy to forget to take it at all.
It's like saying I will get addicted to my walker. Yeah a walker might be novel or even fun for someone that has no trouble walking, but for me it just makes it so I can walk.
Nice analogy.
