Some people are turning to the black market.
That’s a problem because the government tightly controls how much Adderall can be manufactured in the first place. It is classified as a “Schedule II” controlled substance, in the same category as opioids like oxycodone. The Drug Enforcement Agency sets an industrywide cap—a “quota”—on the raw amphetamine needed to manufacture Adderall. Without DEA approval, no one is allowed to make any more.
So what does the DEA say about this excuse that “Well, our quotas weren’t working this year, and so that’s resulting in this shorter supply.” Do they just say that’s not so?The DEA has given me some numbers about this. They get reports from companies at the end of the year. And the DEA has told me that there was a lot of the amphetamine raw material that the companies still had at the end of last year.Yeah. And it’s complicated because it’s a little unclear exactly who has these leftovers.
Well, I would always like to. When I started reporting the story, I found out this isn’t the first time that something like this has happened. Back in 2011 and 2012, there were Adderall shortages. And the FDA at the time said that these DEA quotas were contributing to the situation. The DEA said that the drug companies had enough, and people should look at what they were choosing to manufacture with it. So this wasn’t a completely new situation.
