Here's something that might be interesting to you: you can consume nicotine without smoking cigarettes or even inhalation, and in that context, the harms of nicotine are negligible.

That's the article I'd come across in the past that made me think of it as a possible adhd med.

I think one thing to keep in mind is that Gwern is evaluating it for much more minimal use than you would try to treat adhd with. Iirc he was using it to try to build an exercise habit. So the addiction risks are going to be much higher than what he portrays them as.

Still better than untreated adhd though.
