> It's scary how many people I know who are dependent on regular doses of 30+mg of amphetamines.

I’m actually very worried about where this is heading. We had a cohort of mentees come through a mentorship program I help with who ended up recommending Cerebral to each other and getting prescriptions together. I didn’t catch on until later when they started talking about regrets, but I was stunned at how easily they were prescribed excessive doses in exchange for cash payments.

Once the initial euphoria of a medically unnecessary or otherwise excessive amphetamine prescription wears off (and it will), some people end up in a rather unhealthy place. There is no free lunch.
