Maybe I haven't explained myself well enough. For many people it's a choice not between prescription vs illicit. It's a choice between illicit Adderall vs illicit cannabis, alcohol, nicotine, and anything else they can get their hands on. That's what happens when people aren't getting the medication and healthcare that they need. They take their problems to other substances and behaviors.

I'm saying that getting methamphetamine as a replacement for Adderall is a terrible idea because of the problems with contamination and legal repercussions. If you don't have access to the psychiatric care, getting started with drugs that are cut with god knows what at highly unreliable doses is not likely to make things much better, definitely not in the long run.
