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.

And that's largely what ADHD medications are, they're basically safer versions of meth to help give you focus. Meth use is a huge problem in my suburban area because housewives use them to increase energy levels to keep up with all the nonsense extracurriculars they force on their kids so they can show off to their neighbors.
That said, meth is extremely dangerous, and using any form of medication without medical supervision is also extremely dangerous. If you think you're having focus problems that could be resolved with medication, go to your doctor to get a proper prescription and learn about the side effects.
suburban housewives on meth would be a great vice documentary….
it feels like just a rumor to me, a lot of people on meth think that everyone is on meth….
for example, how are suburban housewives scoring meth? is there a network? do they go to the seedy parts of town and find street dealers?
it’s possible, but doesn’t seem likely.
The same way everyone gets it: a dealer. The dealers in the suburbs are a bit more upscale than your typical dealer in the inner city.
Here's an article from a Utah newspaper about it, which cites statistics and documentaries, and here's an article specifically about Utah meth use. Women on Ice is perhaps the best book on the subject.
