lrb: yes, I know the reason ADHD stimulant meds are so heavily restricted is because NT students abuse them. it does not escape me that that's why the rules were made.

I'm still allowed to be frustrated by said regulations meaning I have to defy the very functional deficits I was born with to access those meds: contacting my doctor every 30 days to refill, remembering to schedule regular 3-month appointments for management, remembering to ATTEND said appointments (and remembering not to pee too soon beforehand for testing), following up with insurance to make sure my prior authorization is still valid, and now contacting various pharmacies to see if they have meds in stock when my own pharmacy is out.

this is Not Easy for someone who can't intuitively know how many days have elapsed from one event to another, can get easily distracted from (and while!) placing important phone calls, can't even form proper sentences verbally without awkward pauses to recall what I was going to say, and has a very difficult time when unmedicated to do tasks I know I *have* to do but don't particularly want to at the moment.

like... if I have a script for it, I haven't come in for a refill before it's time to, and insurance is still agreeing to pay for it, for god's sake isn't that proof enough I'm taking it as directed?

surely SOME kind of vetting process could be implemented instead of forcing pillmakers to underproduce for fear of ~the addicts~

but then I guess it'd cut down on the pearl-clutching opportunities that make the normies feel better about not being filthy mental cripples, huh

THE LIFE OF CHINESE MEDICINE （Part 1）🧐

From traditional Chinese medicine picked by people to becoming a pill, capsule, tablet, oral liquid, plaster, powder for external use, etc.

The form of Chinese medicine has undergone an earth-shaking changeHowever, various dosage forms retain the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine, so that traditional Chinese medicine can exert its maximum effect.

What happened to Chinese medicine?🌿

THE FIRST TYPE: PREPARED HERBAL MEDICINE

  Prepared herbal medicine is processed based on the guidance of the basic theories of traditional Chinese medicine, through the three major processes of cleaning, cutting and processing to make finished products of certain specifications.

1. Cleaning

The medicinal materials after the clean selection are called "clean medicinal materials". "Clean medicinal materials" means that medicinal materials are selected and winnowed, water-selected, sieved, cut, scraped, removed, brushed, skewered, and washed to achieve the specified quality standards for clarity.

2. Cutting

The net medicinal materials can be cut fresh or dried, all of which need to be moistened and softened. Softening medicinal materials requires "less foaming and more moisturizing" and "drug penetration" to prevent the loss of water-soluble medicinal ingredients in medicinal materials. The cutting methods include cutting, shearing, planing, chopping, chopping, pounding, and velvet making. The cutting requires a certain specification of thickness and particle size, and the cut pieces are dried to facilitate preservation and ensure quality.

3. Shelling

Baking refers to the process of taking clean or cut clean medicinal materials and clean tablets, according to the processing rules formulated in the theory of Chinese medicine, and using the prescribed processing technology to make medicines. Baking methods include: heat treatment: such as frying, blanching, calcining, making charcoal, steaming, boiling, simmering and so on. Add specific auxiliary materials and heat treatment: wine, vinegar, salt, ginger broiled, honey broiled, medicinal juice, etc. In addition, there are also processes such as frosting and water flying.

How strange. Kunlun Society sent me another mail asking me to join their alternative medicine program. They're literally advertising acupuncture, moxibustion, and alchemy / pillmaking - and if I join, I can get an elite cultivation technique and a stipend of spirit stones for free.

...What's really sad is that I can't tell if this offer is legit or someone's just having me on.

I have a new idea for a tragic one-act play about a down-on-his-luck pillmaker who invents a pill that actually cures baldness and impotence and increases the size of the human wang with no ill effects and then dies of being poor because whenever he tells someone what the pill he’s selling supposedly does they dismiss him as a scamster selling placeboes
