People with ADHD can become addicted to and abuse stimulants just like anyone else. It's both dangerous and stupid to try to claim otherwise.

None claimed people with ADHD are immune to becoming addicted to stimulants. Just that they are less likely too compared to others when they are treated with the correct dose of stimulants. You smoking meth and a person taking medication prescribed by a physician are not the same scenarios. Stop projecting your issues with substance abuse on others.
