…I’m a woman.

Oh, no, I have a prescription for ADHD medication. I’ve just always been curious about whether I’d have that experience.

I have pretty crippling ADHD and I always wanted to try cocaine because of all the stories of ADHD folks trying it and feeling calm and normal.

R-E-C-Y-C-L-E Recycle!
C-O-N-S-E-R-V-E Conserve!
Don’t you P-O-L-L-U-T-E. Pollute the rivers, sky, or sea. Or else you’re gonna get what you deserve

…I still sing it to myself sadly when I read the news sometimes.
