Challenge accepted. You said "while our govt fear-mongers the shit out of it's own citizens." I propose that governmental actions did not cause bowel movements. Vomiting, yeah, for sure. But not shitting.

There may or may not have also been some experimentation with. . . umm. . . "unauthorized" amphetamines. Almost no effect.

Me neither. I seem to be uncommonly resistant to stimulants. I can drink three double espressos and go to sleep.

There are a number of devices that can help you with that. In various price ranges and calibres.
