MODERATORS
This is an unpopular opinion, but I can understand why you would develop such a viewpoint. You just have to realize that some people cannot function effectively in life and a strong stimulant can be a powerful tool to regain control over a doomed situation. If there were better, safer alternatives, they would be used. But there are not, so we have this situation. It's not like these meds are prescribed by your local drug dealer. There has been a lot of research done by intelligent people.
