It's over prescribed and the number of kids who really need it is in the low single digits as a percent of all children.
The idea used to be that it was only used for the severely ADD. The stimulants charged up the parts of the brain that weren’t working right. That part works. That’s probably 5% of those that get it now.
The rest are just getting high and doing better in the short term and when they come off it they’ll crash.
Medical weed is the same situation, in reverse. 99% don’t need that, but it’s all political. Political just means ‘vote for it’ regardless of reality.
