Sidamo:

Thank you for the great post. I wish that I could argue with you on the subject, but it looks like you have me outthunked at this point. I cannot argue that a lot of people are genuinely more productive and socially acceptable when they are on Ritalin, and not that I am admitting that I have ever used it illegally myself, I have probably once or twice stumbled on the edge of a carpet and accidently shoved one or two up my nose.

I do know plenty of people who happily buy them on the black market, and I posted a URL earlier that showed the results of a study that indicated that the black community prefered Ritalin to Preludin, which was the preference of white people in the area. I realize that sounds weird, especially to anyone who had an opportunity to try Preludin - I wonder if this site will automatically blank out the phrase "spontaneous orgasm the second the needle comes out"

Gotta love those phenethylamines.
