Do you even have any idea what Ritalin is?

[Seabiscuit36]

i wish benzedrine was still legal, i would be 170 lbs again. 

[Don Ho]

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.

my wife has some zanex laying around.  i might just have to resort to this during the Bengals game.

Apparently it works quite well.
Especially when taken with beer.

Do you?

Methylphenidate (Ritalin)
Adderall

Schedule II controlled substances.

Do you?

[Diomedes]

I do.

Ritalin, although a stimulant for adults, has the opposite effect on children, for some medical reason unknown to me. Personally, I'm against any kind of mood altering drugs for youngsters. Your making them addicts before they are even out of grade school, and they end up being the kind of adults that run for the medicine cabinet when they get up in the morning in order to be able to function during the day without a mental breakdown.

Yes, I do. But next time I'll provide Wikipedia links to prove it...

Giving it to kids is retarded. Your argument is that there MUST be an imbalance if it calm children down, and that doesn't make a farging lick of sense. People managed to get by for 1000s of years without medicating their children for being hyperactive. It's insanity.

[shorebird]

It's unnatural. Kids are naturally hyperactive, some more than others. Teachers have had disciplinary powers taken away from them, so now, they want to drug kids to keep them in line.

[Diomedes]

Modern parents drive me nuts.  They're so self obsessed, and so terminally wounded by the traumas of a normal lucky American life, that they think they can make up for whatever bullshtein still haunts them by treating their children like tiny gods.  Coddle them in every way, smother them in attention, let them make decisions about where they go, what they eat,  etc. from like age two on, drug them to get them to behave nicely so the parents don't have to discipline them, etc.

My brood is going to suffer and like it.

Of course, you're erroneously lumping ADD in with ADHD. The two often go together, but many people mistakenly think that ADD equals hyperactivity. And it's also a misconception that proper pharmacological treatment for ADD turns kids into dull little robots, much less addicts.

I agree that the medication is probably abused in some cases, but it is also widely used properly and successfully.

False.  Ritalin is also prescribed to adults who have ADD/ADHD.  It doesn't just go away...

True.

We will have to agree to disagree on that one. Tons of kids that go to counciling for poor grades simply because they don't pay attention are prescribed Ritalin. ADD, ADHD, whatever, it's a name slapped on a condition that can be avoided by good home training. Parents think they can let kids do whatever they want when they are little, and they grow up with a lack of respect and discipline, not knowing how to act in public when they don't get the same type of attention they do at home. So then, they drug them.

Coddle them in every way, smother them in attention, let them make decisions about where they go, what they eat,  etc. from like age two on, drug them to get them to behave nicely so the parents don't have to discipline them, etc.

Amen to that.

I don't agree, it's a Methylphenidate, a stimulant.

Methylphenidate (MPH) is a prescription stimulant commonly used to treat Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD. It is also one of the primary drugs used to treat the daytime drowsiness symptoms of narcolepsy and chronic fatigue syndrome
