That there are people engaging in Adderall and other stimulant abuse is a major problem for those of us who need the medication for appropriate medical and psychiatric care. Because people abuse adderall by crushing it and taking it improperly to get a buzz, people like me have to bear the incredible inconveniences of filling prescriptions of a restricted medication---getting special approval every year from insurance companies because we are over the age of 19, not being able to refill or call in prescriptions, but having instead to always go in every 30 days with a new paper scrip, etc. etc.

I'm afraid the DEA is the source of the inconveniences you have experienced with schedule II meds; perhaps you should rant to them instead?
