Funny, if these drugs had been around when I was young I suppose some one would have had me on them. But there were no video games, or cable TV (only got 4 channels w/ rabbit ears), or internet. So we climbed trees, played marbles, made a tree house, and rode our bikes all over the city. Best prescription ever.

The drugs were around, but they were called uppers or speed, and sold on the street by drug pushers. When children accidentally took an overdose, the hospitals noticed that it calmed them down instead of hyped them up.

And thus Ritalin and Adderal were the new names at a new price, and could be prescribed by a doctor under health insurance coverage. At least the street pusher gave better advise on using your drugs.

Never-ever follow your amphetamine doses with downers such as klonopin or diazepam as is currently done by medical professionals who do so in order for you to sleep at night. It will turn you into a bipolar yo-yo.
