Dump Adderall and other "smart drugs" into the water supply to make people smarter and more focused

Societies & civilizations whose main source of drinking water is directly downstream from sizable deposits of lithium have clinically reported being some of the happiest people in the world.

It has eliminated my manic & suicidal behavior 100%, you are a worthless piece of shit who deserves to have everyone you love tortured to death in front of you for even suggesting that.

As someone said, if Tylenol and such actually caused autism, the USA would have trains.

Wait there's a drug that will make me smarter? Also dosing a bunch of people with undiagnosed ADHD is gonna cause a lot of people to have really nice naps for the first time.

It'll also make the gay frogs more intelligent

[-]

bomzay@reddit

And everyone knows that when two gay frogs procreate, the resulting frog is automatically super-gay.

[-]

Fun fact: frogs turned female by atrazine (the feminizer chemical) reproduce to make only male offspring, which in turn skews the population to having more males and forcing some frogs to have no other options than to go gay if they dont want to feel unfulfilled in their reproductive habits.

So, yup, super gay frogs.

I'll give it to you that it would be fascinating to see what happens lol.

The problem is that Adderall only increases focus to people who actually have ADD and ADHD. To everyone else it’s an intense stimulant like cocaine.

[-]

TheBalloonEffect@reddit

And as an ADHD person cocaine actually helps me focus

[-]

TheBalloonEffect@reddit

Adderall helps the ADHD cope and learn. For the nons it helps you clean your house.

[-]

RunningAtTheMouth@reddit

They're stimulants. I don't need more stimulants. You're talking about heart attacks for a good percentage of the population.

[-]

LtHughMann@reddit

True, but that would only be a problem for a few generations before the gene pool sort of sorts itself out

[-]

millionwordsofcrap@reddit

Yeah that's the thing. Most people don't need the associated blood pressure spike lmao.

HardLithobrake@reddit

Pharmaceutical runoff into waterways and sewage from human excretions as is are causing physiological and behavioral changes in wildlife, you gon' give the fish ADHD

[-]

Tobias11ize@reddit

Its long overdue for the fish to lock in anyway

[-]

Ocean_Bear@reddit

They will be on LinkedIn in no time!!!

[-]

SexThrowaway1126@reddit

Bet they won’t go extinct as often if they sat down and paid attention

[-]

LordTerror@reddit

you gon' give the fish space ADHD

No, Adderall reduces the symptoms of ADHD, it doesn't cause it. Wait, what if all fish have ADHD and we never realized it? Maybe OP's idea isn't so crazy.

[-]

SpaceBrachiosaurus@reddit (OP)

One more, one less. Let's see what happens

[-]

SparklingSloths@reddit

Adderall does not make you smarter.

[-]

Your_As_Stupid_As_Me@reddit

No, but it will help us find all the people who have undiagnosed ADHD.

[-]

Device420@reddit

Well, for starters, Adderall is amphetamine salts not a "smart drug". So, whoever has the pleasure of drinking this water will be tweaking their ass off. Depending on dosage, you just created the Methapocolypse.

gregorychaos@reddit

And more lean!

And also probably kinda horny.

[-]

1miguelcortes@reddit

Cool, I like not being able to sleep

[-]

TheGruenTransfer@reddit

I legit think putting Ozempic in the drinking water is a good idea

[-]

Maleficent_Celery_55@reddit

What about underweight people??

[-]

Kytzer@reddit

They need to start drinking full sugar soda instead of water.

[-]

shayner5@reddit

Brondo

[-]

ijustsailedaway@reddit

They don’t make anyone smarter. And if you don’t need them they will generally cause adverse side effects. In the case of stimulants, mainly cardiovascular.

[-]

Megalocerus@reddit

I'm sticking to coffee.

[-]

Sensitive-Respect-25@reddit

Better idea.

Add cocaine to the water supply, thus increasing people's hydration and energy.
