You are absolutely talking out of your ass. Look at the quoted text you have there. See how I'm typing out the words "lower risk" and "very low risk"? This does not "insinuate" an "immunity"(still assuming it's the popular usage) to stimulant adiction and, in fact, would have a built-in premise that there is some risk. Otherwise it would say "no risk". I really don't understand why you're strawmanning my position by directly contradicting specifically quoted from me. That's pretty fucking weird.
On top of that, let's talk the rhetoric then. Could you clarify on what you mean by attacks? I'm not convinced that I've been attacking you(as opposed to your arguments). Also, pedantry? Really? I chose my words carefully and you still immediately misinterpreted me. I'm trying to communicate clearly, why is your interpretation/reaction to that an implied accusation of arrogance? And like, you're ending your comment with an implication that I would plausibly disagree with caution and medical supervision for someone on medication? What the hell? Seriously, what's happening here?
