To parents with children on ADHD medication: You do realize that you are giving your children a legal form of speed, right? Yes, it may help them pay attention, but that doesn’t take away the fact that it is a drug that is very closely related to the street drug methamphetamine.

I have taken high levels of ritalin everyday for the past 13 years. I have blood tests and many tests and scans on a regular basis and have had no ill effects on my health.
These drugs have been used to treat behavior problems since 1937, with ritalin having been in use since 1957.
