He’s like Hitler in more ways than one.
At least Hitler liked dogs.
Trump tweeting 300 times between 3 and 6 AM wasn’t evidence enough?
I just want to note that they’re referring to modafinil/Provigil as a controlled substance and a stimulant. It’s technically a controlled substance, but it’s Schedule IV (low priority, low chance of abuse) whereas Adderall is Schedule II. It’s also not a stimulant, but some people would say it’s better because it doesn’t have the teeth-grindy, methy feeling that many stimulants do. Modafinil “promotes wakefulness” but doesn’t prevent sleep. So you can imagine people taking it to stay awake for long hours working, but they won’t be pacing around or talking rapidly like with some stimulants.
The medical unit was still irresponsible in prescribing meds without proper record-keeping and evaluation, but I wanted to clarify about modafinil specifically.
Marijuana is a schedule 1 drug and therefore “more dangerous and prone to abuse” than fucking prescreption meth. I’m not going to put much weight into drug classifications written largely by companies that stand to profit from their own and their competition’s standing.
I’m not arguing that the drug schedules are legitimate. Clearly having weed and heroin in the same category is ludicrous. I’m arguing that the authors use of “controlled substances” is technically true but a little dramatic as modafinil is schedule IV. I’ve been prescribed both modafinil and Adderall, and I can say that modafinil does not act or feel like a stimulant, and it’s not habit-forming.
Hey lookit! Just like the nazi’s! Yall know the Nazi’s were tweakin 24/7 dontcha?
As one former senior administration official puts it: “You try working for him and not chasing pills with alcohol.”
Ronnie Jackson was also the main White house physician for the last few years of the Obama administration. It would be interesting to compare the receipts from that time vs. the Trump administration.
Hey, remember the last right-wing fascists that was really into amphetamines? Europe sure does remember.
I didn’t know The Queen was a crank fiend.
She was definitely on “E”[arl Grey tea]…
Everyone’s joking about “big surprise” but it’s helpful to have documentation of any kind rather than suspicion. There are also probably plenty of people who are less extremely online who didn’t make the connection, and now here’s an established journalistic outlet doing so.

So? God CLEARLY created Speed and Xanax to be used! But also we need to ARREST anybody smoking WEED!
