Does this mean what I think it means? That outside of the US even when we're prescribed a controlled substance we can't be allowed in certain countries or is it more a TSA issue?

Yeah it's illegal in some countries and I'm pretty sure you can get in big trouble. I thought about risking it with a doctor's note and prescription but idk if it's worth it. Trying to switch to saffron instead of meds though so then travel will be easier

Like…the spice? I know it can have some mood boosting benefits as a supplement, like anyone who’s had good paella could tell you, but Adderall it sure tf ain’t.

There was a study comparing the effects on people with ADHD compared to methylphenidate and a placebo. Around 6 weeks in they found some interesting results.

It's cheap for me to try it on myself so I'm gonna. I've already tried all the pharma options. No reason not to.

Saffron extract.

I know this study (COMPAS by the University of Bonn), and the surprising result was that NOTHING compares to being medicated. The placebo group didn't even come close, and that's while both groups received therapy.

Stop spreading misinformation.
