Those people who take Xanax, adderall, pain meds, or other prescription meds do have a problem: whatever they were diagnosed with that led a doctor to conclude it was a viable treatment.
Also, generally speaking getting high is never considered a treatment. Taking stimulants because you have ADHD =/= taking stimulants to get high. If you want to use CBD oil etc at a controlled low dosage as treatment that’s one thing, constantly being stoned is another and it’s no different than an alcoholic being drunk 24/7. The only exception to this would be if you have a severe enough health issue that being “out of it” is a kindness and part of the treatment (like cancer). Prescriptions and intoxication are entirely different.
Also, seriously, fuck equating actual prescription medications to recreational drugs. They are not the same and people already struggle with stigma because people act as though they are.
