Are you a Doctor?



[whiff1962]

Is the speaker intentionally lumping neurological disorders with psychiatric, labeled conditions? The fact is, there are two issues being addressed: one being medical (epilepsy, Parkinson's, etc), the other, morally prescriptive, and socially ascribed. Treating medically verifiable brain diseases should not be confused with the policing that is effected by drugging "deviant" behavior.

does your hiney hole smell like tacos?

Your first mistake:

The term illicit is a legal term, and might have nothing to do with the efficacy of a plant or drug outside the licit and recognized pharmacopeia. Case in point: New research into cannabinoids. However, that said, I would like to clarify that I do not recognize ADD as a brain disease, but rather, see it as a stigmatizing label, no matter how magnanimous physicians and counselors appear.

Mistakes:

1)You've given unmedicated ADHD diagnosed people the suggestion that illicit drugs have some kind of efficacy.

2)calling illegal drugs 'recreational' drugs. And stigmatizing users as 'stoners'.

3) regarding the pharmacological actions of cocain and methamphetamine. These drugs target totally different dopamine receptors in the nucleus accumbens to DA drugs like methylphenidate Hcl.

This is supposed to be expert village. There is nothing expert about what you have said.
