ADHD meds are basically meth.

[discordian420]

Methamphetamine is marketed for ADD under the brand name Desoxyn. Amphetamine, dextroamphetamine, and methylphenidate are also commonly used to treat ADD. Adderall has both amphetamine and dextroamphetamine.

Amphetamine is the same thing as speed.

I spent 10 years on heroin. I also did my share of drinking. I drove drunk a couple times, and many times on heroin. If I had to pick from a drunk guy or a guy high on dope to drive me home, who do you think I'd pick? Alcohol makes people forget where they've been. Alcohol withdrawal can kill. Alcohol does permanent liver damage. But prohibition only makes the problem worse, so they repealed it. So, what about the rest of the drugs?
