Why are people criminalized for getting pills only to concentrate better?

[LonelyBerry]

Today you are only able to get Ritalin and Amphetamine (Adderall) if you have ADD / ADHD, or off-label if you have a nice doctor.
But for lots of people, it is very difficult nowadays to concentrate and performing very well at work.

I heard that some housewives need Crystal Meth to go on doing their house stuff.

But I know that Ritalin or other speed-like medications and drugs are very motivating and give some power for several hours.
Sometimes I take Ritalin, because I luckily found a doctor who diagnosed ("mild") ADD and got the prescription legally.
I only take this pill when I have a bad day and cannot concentrate.
Normally, I procrastinate a lot.. Things I don't like very much. I have to force myself to do stuff I don't like and that is an awful feeling.
When I pop such a pill, I think I feel motivated enough to do this SHITTY AWFUL fu**ing stuff .

We always have to do SHITTY AWFUL FU**ING STUFF and don't enjoy it. Rather, it can make you frustrated and triggers aggression, especially in my case, sometimes.

This dopamine-enhancing-drugs can make life easier. Why so difficult? Why is the DEA against it?
Why most people, the whole "normal" society think awful about such drugs although many can benefit from it?

The same reason people with cancer and crippled spines are criminalized for getting pills that lower the pain so they don't commit suiucde

Because we live in a country where the dea does not care about sick people at all....all they care about is jailing as any drug users as possible....including those that do not abuse and are severely diseased.

At least all that happens when the pharmacy denies you for no reason is that u can't concentrate....imagine crippling pain returning along with oxy withdrawl when u get denied....they can't Concentrate either at that point

Because the majority in most democracies, - i.e., the fools electing & empowering the fuckers making the laws they approve of, the imbeciles who like unjustified and indiscriminate police repression, the morons who don't mind the fact that way too much decent people unjustly labeled as ''criminals'' spend their whole fucking lives behind bars, - are ignorant, prejudiced, judgmental assholes not minding their own fucking business: it bothers them what you do with your own body. So, whether you take pills, any kind of pills, for ''legitimate'' reasons or not, the fact that you cannot do as you please with your body when you please is, basically, because too many fucking idiots exist in most countries. In other words: the root cause is the average dumb citizen.
