But rather than QT that shitty article, here are some true things:
1. ADHD patients who take Adderall are LESS likely to develop substance use disorders: https://www.additudemag.com/the-truth-about-adhd-and-addiction/

2. ADHD brains are different fron neurotypical brains and stimulants affect us differently: https://www.additudemag.com/adhd-neuroscience-101/
3. People who have ADHD are less likely to have a genetic susceptibility to euphoria from stimulants than neurotypical people: https://www.pnas.org/content/early/2014/04/02/1318810111.abstract
More simply: not only are we unlikely to get high off our meds (because they're our meds and we need them to last the whole month); we are less likely to even be genetically *capable* of getting high off our meds.
Anyway I could post links all night about how ADHD people are not addicts or addicted to our meds and throw in some citations that ADHD is UNDERdiagnosed (especially in populations other than white boys), but Google is free and reporters should use it before spouting bullshit
