    It’s funny to think that previous generations were medicating themselves too without admitting it. 1930s-70s amphetamines are all the rage until it’s declared an epidemic from the incredible amount of usage.

    Then hard pivot to cocaine use to replace the amphetamines, which ends up not being better (and maybe destroying some countries in the process)

    And now here we are back to amphetamine usage and far surpassing the levels of the epidemic of the late 60s-70s.

    So remember if your grandparents say they never had to medicate themselves back in the day just ask them how much powder they sniffed up their noses. Apparently everyone feels good with a bit of stimulation.

        Great grandma did. They changed the formula before my grandmothers were born, and I know I’m older than a fair portion of you, being 43
