The finding
What remains unresolved
Joe describes legal amphetamine addiction and says doctors are easily duped into prescribing Adderall. FDA confirms amphetamine content and serious misuse and addiction risks, while also recognizing appropriate treatment benefits. Those facts do not establish addiction in all prescribed patients or quantify how easily doctors can be deceived. The prevalence and ease claims remain unresolved.
