I have taken stimulants on and off through my life. I certainly don't need them, but it is very unlikely I would own a tech company if I hadn't taken them. They have almost certainly improved my life immensely.
I'm against giving addictive pharmaceuticals to children as a solution to structural problems in compulsory schooling. Consenting adults should be able to make their own choices.
It's part of my life's work to make sure that kind of drugging of children becomes a thing of the past. It's criminal.
Can you imagine giving a child amphetamines to 'help' them in a non-coercive environment like a Sudbury School? https://ia801305.us.archive.org/19/items/TheSudburyValleySch...
