I have a question. After my last post, entitled "Speed," wherein I said something to the effect that Amphetamines are THE DEVIL and should be avoided, and then madame dyblue joined the thread, turning the discussion onto a very interesting and troubling topic, that of children being prescribed amphetamines and ritalin for vaguely defined mental "maladies," basically akin to perfectly natural hyperactiveness and excitedness, which I think is a tragedy. It made me think:
How does this happen? How can children be subject to such things? Should not these doctors and company executives be assembled in a big pit and shot? (That's a little extreme, I know, but seriously, forks...)
And now I ask, how does one go about setting up an anti-amphetamine-prescription-for-minors-group? I'd have to think of a catchier name, of course. Are there already such groups? Any thoughts?
Thanks to all...
