You guys must be pretty young. Back in my day doctors hadn't even invented ADD yet

Ha. I remember the first time one of my classmates told me they were taking medicine because they were hyperactive. I asked my parents about it and they said, "That's why you play baseball and soccer and basketball and are on the swim team." Then they spanked me and sent me to bed without supper and forced me to walk uphill six miles both ways to school and I appreciated it because life is hard and I needed to learn that.

Never seen anyone snort an adderrall...i have seen someone crush up and snort a zanex. Or roll it in with weed into a blunt.


My friends are going places.


Picture doesn't prove anything either...he needs to get busted on a drug test or he could just say he didn't do it.

A gram of Diet Coke can be found in 3 out of 5 suburban medicine cabinets. Gotta keep those kids calm so mommy and daddy can get old and fat in peace.

Help me out with the logic here:
1) Kid is hyperactive, annoys parents
2) Prescribe methamphetamines
3) Kid is sedated into compliance ?!?

We are talking about speed here - serious, hard-core, controlled substance.  Making kids calmer and better able to focus.  How does that make any sense if there isn't some kind of imbalance?  Why wouldn't they prescribe downers, anti-depressants or mood stabilizers if they just wanted to sedate the kid?  I'm not saying it isn't misdiagnosed and over treated, but to imply that the problem doesn't exist is just crazy.
