i love ILITW but being me i have to nitpick
lucas wouldn’t have been able to get that many prescriptions. as someone who has adhd, let me tell you stimulant medication is VERY controlled and regulated. the doctor has to do a written signature and it can only be on paper scripts (except if you have this fancy new thing that is able to send it in through pharmacies, but that’s a different story), you have to physically take the script to a pharmacy and get it filled, you have to show your driver’s license, and each prescription can only be for 30 days at most, and you can only refill it at most 5 days before it runs out. so he would never have been able to get so many bottles. plus the pharmacy probably would have called his mom (the doctor) if something seemed suspicious, which it would be if he was trying to get so many prescriptions in a short amount of time
it’s really fuckin hard to get adhd meds, even if you’re diagnosed. it would be more accurate if he had stolen someone else’s, or bought them from someone selling the pills. that’s the biggest way they get into the hands of people without adhd, especially students. when i went to college it was recommended that i put my meds in a safe place where no one could find them, in case my roommate or someone they knew tried to steal them.
it’s really fucking frustrating when you actually have adhd but people who don’t have it abuse the system to get the medication that helps you, ruining it for everyone else. my meds are vital or else i wouldn’t be able to think or concentrate or do anything at all.
i wish someone would rip lucas a new one because he’s harming people who actually need those meds. kids like him are the reason it’s so hard to get medication we need, and why we get treated like we’re addicts who are faking a diagnosis just to get pills
