Adults having to feign some sort of mental illness to aquire it seems like something that entails a whole lot of problematic outcomes. An issue of prohibition no doubt, but the rate at which it's also been prescribed to developing minds to treat a "disease" is nothing to sniff at either. I dont think anyone here is throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

I think moynihans point is that the Biden administration is. Not necessarily anyone here.

Marijuana had the same problem for a decade. People just faked anxiety or glaucoma. Went so a medical “permit” doctor. Who spent five minute rubber stamping people for 75 bucks a pop.

I don’t like it either. And yeah I agree it’s mostly a problem of prohibition. People aren’t allowed to say “I just need a pick me up” which is a perfectly valid reason to responsibly take a drug.
