He must have mistakenly taken his Ambien instead of his Provigil.
I read your comment and wondered what Provigil was. Modafinil. I guess I should not be surprised they were all on uppers and downers.
If there’s one thing I’m not gonna shit on Trump for, it’s letting his White House hand out pills like candy. Although it’s pretty shitty to do while still enforcing archaic drug laws
The people running your country shouldn’t be drugged out. Yeah, hypocrisy is bad.
Provigil isn’t “drugged out”?
Sustained drug abuse has negative long term effects.
You can support legalization in support of individual choice, and also condemn the personal use while in positions of (extreme) power.
I don't give a shit if my mechanic has an amphetamine habit as long as he can physically do the job required of him. I care very much if my president and his advisors are cracked out while holding the reins to this country.
“Cracked out”? It’s modafinil lol
Multiple Whitehouse staffers claimed that amphetamines like Adderall were handed out like candy, no questions asked, no prescriptions necessary, and the pharmacist is being sued for lack of record keeping IIRC.
Nice try, though.
The pills shit has been standard practice at the white house. It only got out of hand under trump.
