  People say negative things about that? That’s crazy, people are judgmental about stupid shit.

    Dude, I’ve gotten rejected from jobs because of it. Yes it’s illegal, no it’s often not worth suing if the government decides not to take the case

        I’m not sure why this would ever come up in a job interview, it’s not your employer’s business.

        You will come up positive on a pre employment drug test though correct?

    Caffeine and Alcohol are a bit weird, since they don’t have the stigma that other drugs do.

    If you say “Oh, I need a litre of coffee to function in the mornings”, people would just laugh and agree, whereas if you said that you had to take your stimulant medication/dextroamphetamine to function/took the caffeine in pill form, people might judge you for it.

    You see it a bit with social media, where people say that ADHD is merely an excuse for laziness, and that medication does more harm than it helps, but will happily excuse people needing a coffee to start up in the morning.
