      Proof of what? That addictive chemicals are addictive even if a person has adhd? It’s point blank stupid to think otherwise. Feel free to search online and see things saying that when used as perscribed at low doses adhd medication doesn’t typically result in addiction. That isn’t saying the chemical itself is somehow different, or that people with adhd are somehow immune to addiction. People with adhd can abuse stimulants just as easily as anyone else can.

        No one is claiming that. They are claiming that low doses of stimulants react differently with people with ADHD than it does with neuro typical people, and that result in a lowered risk of addiction when compared to the general population.

        People with adhd can abuse stimulants just as easily as anyone else can.

        Also not true, they can abuse stimulants, but it does typically take more stimulants than normal, and they often do not get the same levels of euphoric effects.
