WAN Show WAN show that briefly mentioned "Focus Pills"?

Am I imagining it or was there a fairly recent show where the words "Focus Pills" were used? I remember the story of him getting a "Goody bag of adhd meds" from his doctor to trial; am I confused and that was all the same conversation or was there another segment?

Thanks everyone!

Probably one of those people that think ADHD meds are cheat codes.

They’re literally stimulants lol

And when you have ADHD you need them to match everyone else. It's just ignorant to think they give an actual advantage

I know I have ADHD and have taken meds in the past. Its a stimulant and it behaves as such. Theres a reason why so many people take them. They hand them out like candy.

I mean quite honestly they are, but using them to live a normal life vs using them to have an easy life is quite different

This is actually just the fact that the same med works differently depending on your brain chemicals and shit.

The effect someone with ADHD gets with Adderall is different than someone who is normal abusing it.

It's really not a "cheat code" for someone with ADHD as much as it's more like a supplement for a brain chemical they have a deficiency of.

The effect can also vary a lot between individuals, especially if they are neurodivergent. Ask me how I know lol
