This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

The overall point aside, people don't take Adderall because they want a kick, they take it because they need it to be functional. I'd say that you have to be either ignorant or an asshole to call someone a druggie for regularly taking Adderall, but you know, 4chan, ignorant, asshole, redundancy, yadda yadda.
Edit: Jumping to the conclusion that people take Adderall because they want to get high feeds the stigma that people with ADHD are just drug abusers, which is a core reason why people with ADHD have so much trouble accessing their medication. If someone wants to get high, there's little reason to go for Adderall rather than drugs actually designed to get you high.
What? People absolutely abuse Adderall to get high...
They do, but the point is that you shouldn't assume that's the case simply because someone takes adderal. The vast majority of the time, they take it as directed to treat their ADHD.
Brad from the post doesn't read that way
