I have a answer regarding this if you can bear with the story;
Before I joined, I was being treated for AD/HD during school and was prescribed Adderall. I stopped taking it around near the end of high school. When I joined, I had to provide supporting documents from my doctor stating that I was no longer being treated for AD/HD. A few years down the road during my enlistment, I had seen a psychiatrist after seeing a psychologist and undergoing a series of tests. He prescribed me Adderall once again and informed me that the military is allowing exceptions to the AD/HD treatment rules. However, he was not aware that the USCG was the only branch of military service that does not allow stimulant medication for AD/HD treatment. It was brought to my attention by an O-6 physician's assistant that the USCG's medical doctrine states in very black and white instruction that if a member is required stimulant medication for AD/HD treatment, they are disqualified from joining or will undergo a medical board for discharge if they're already in service.
Luckily, it was swept under the rug by the psychiatrist, but now I can't bring up my AD/HD issues unless I want to face being discharged. This also means no more Adderall treatment.
Long story short; The USCG's very strict and cut and dry policy is if you require stimulant AD/HD medication(Adderall, Dexedrine or any amphetamine) to function normally, this will disqualify you from joining, or face you with a medical discharge if you're already a member.
It's extremely unfortunate :(

Why are maritime polar air masses along the East Coast usually colder than the west coast?
Maritime polar air masses along the East Coast are typically colder than those on the West Coast due to the influence of ocean currents and geographical features. The East Coast is affected by the cold Labrador Current, which cools the air masses as they move southward. In contrast, the West Coast is influenced by the warmer North Pacific Current, resulting in milder maritime polar air. Additionally, the East Coast experiences more direct continental influences and less oceanic moderation than the West Coast.
