When to a gathering last night. Saw the film "Bought" for the first time. The film stirred up a lot of emotions in those of us who watched. It also brought up some conversation that are sticking with me.

HERE IS ONE SUBJECT I WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT

Are Ritalin and Meth related?

Eva Roufe​ telling experiences working in the health care field pointed out the severity of the Drug Dilemma we are now in. To share with me her understanding that kids who are in the Foster Care Care program and mandated to take handfuls of big Pharma Drugs. These can include drugs Ritalin, or other related drugs for ADHD.

She shared about Ritalin, a drug given to kids to "calm" them down; She said it was basically the same composition as "Meth," only in different proportions. She said that doctors prescribe Ritaln, but when then youth reach a certain age they are no longer in the Foster Care System.

Then, then switch to the street drug because they are addicted.

The Speed of Hypocrisy: How America Got Hooked on Legal Meth

WRITTEN BY ALEXANDER ZAITCHIK

Most people understand that heroin and Oxycontin are both hard, addictive drugs. Not so with speed. When it comes to amphetamine, we’ve chosen a national split-screen in which doctors airily put millions of healthy children and adults on daily speed regimens while SWAT teams throw concussion bombs in baby cribs in pursuit of small-fry meth dealers.

This split-screen is held steady by media accounts that take the two-bucket speed paradigm for granted. The New Yorker reports on “cognitive enhancers” popular with Ivy League pioneers of “cosmetic neurology”—those “high-functioning, over-committed people tak[ing] Adderall and Ritalin to become higher functioning and more overcommitted.” Articles about meth, on the other hand, invariably sound as if penned by the slumming spawn of David Brooks and Jane Goodall. Anthropologist Jason Pine “embedded” with meth users in rural Missouri and described the experience to the New Republic. “They’re very happy and want to share,” Pine explained. “There’s some moodiness, too—they’ll quickly snap into some kind of aggressive reaction.”

Do they also have a hand signal for “banana”?

The results of this split-screen speed fallacy have begun to come in. One-in-five American teenage boys have received an ADHD diagnosis; the adult market for prescription amphetamines is in boost phase, up by half since 2008. A growing number of prescription speed users are arriving at ER rooms and rehab centers across the country.

Dr. Lawrence Diller, author of Running on Ritalin, notes that amphetamines have overtaken opiates as the leading cause of admission to California addiction clinics. The ADHD drug industry response to this latest trophy-stat is hopefully more subdued than its likely reaction to surpassing diabetes drugs in 2012 as the country’s fastest growing drug category. For those who can’t afford rehab, addiction forums like QuittingAdderall.com are popping up.
