I don’t think this is about trusting the DEA, they’re corrupt and that’s known. I think the point they’re making is that it seems it’s raw MAT shortage rather than DEA not increasing stims quota, and the point they’re making is to stop false info spreading which in return is causing paranoia. Please do research first.
The majority of the manufacturers contacted by DEA and/or FDA have responded that they currently have sufficient quota to meet their contracted production quantities for legitimate patient medical needs. According to DEA's data, manufacturers have not fully utilized the APQ for amphetamine in support of domestic manufacturing, reserve stocks, and export requirements for the past three calendar years 2020, 2021 and 2022.
Based on this trend, DEA has not implemented an increase to the APQ for amphetamine at this time. Should the proposed established amphetamine APQ become inadequate to meet legitimate medical and scientific needs, sufficient reserve stocks, and export requirements, DEA has the authority and ability to adjust the APQ during the course of the year. 21 CFR 1303.13. DEA remains in communication with FDA regarding these shortage reports.”
