As Cam W. said, there are doctors that do and those that don't in Alberta. It's the same where I live. I'd guess that in most parts of North America the only disincentives from the government are the hassle of dealing with controlled substances -- extra forms, monthly perscriptions, uninformed bureaucrats, things like that. But individual groups like my clinic could easily discourage or prohibit their members from perscribing stimulants because of misplaced concern, fear of bad press, etc.

Just bad luck. Don't let a doctor's attitude get to you. I think it would be a good idea to find one with which you can have mutual respect, though.
