now that i managed to get meds for my adhd a couple months ago, i actually find it quite funny how so many people who "aren't addicted to anything" will look down on drug addicts who are addicted to "illegal" drugs like idk heroin or meth or what have you

and then turn around and go "i can't function without my morning coffee, but I'm not addicted, it just gets rid of my common caffeine withdrawal symptoms like headaches, dizzyness, tiredness (fatigue), general irritability, mental fogginess, nausea and my general bad mood in the morning, but seriously, I'm not addicted at all, I can just overall function way better with coffee in the morning and also throughout the rest of the day!"

yeah i bet you can function a lot better in your day to day life when you're not actively going through withdrawal and can get your fix several times a day at work or for less than 10 bucks at every corner in every city with even some fancy stuff on top that makes it taste even better.

yeah, you're SO much better and SO above the people who DO have a drug problem and have to spend half their paycheck or even more on their daily fix because their drug isn't so normalized that it's even considered a necessity of daily life and therefore can be gotten for cheap and the price of which is even regulated by the government is some countries.

and when i said "funny" i actually meant " incredibly infuriating and two-faced"

#i always thought this whole “addicts as 2nd class citizens” thing was bullshit #but now that i take daily meds myself i get it so much more than i did before #the average coffee drinking person is very much addicted to coffee #they get just better and cheaper access to their drug #and their price STAYS at less than 10 bucks #imagine if for every cup of coffee you had to pay 20% more than you did for the last one #the first is 10 bucks #but the next one is gonna cost you 12 bucks #the next is gonna cost 12.40 #then 14.88 #then 17.86 #then 21.43 #then 25.71 #that's the price of your seventh cup #even if you only drink one cup per day the price of your daily fix has more than coubled in just one week #and it's gonna keep increasing #your 8th cup is gonna cost 30.86$#that's a whole lot more than the 10$ you paid for your first cup isn't it?#and it's only gonna go up #each cup will be 20% more expensive than your last #9th cup: 37$#10th cup: 44.43$#that's a lot of money to pay for just one cup how could you be so irresonsible with your money?#but you need it because it helps you function #and not having it gives you withdrawal symptoms which suck #so is 50$ really that much to pay for being able to function that day?#11th cup: 53.31$#12th cup: 63.99$#13th cup: 76.78$#two weeks in and you're getting close to spending 100$ a day to just be able to function
