The article makes it sound like the doctor pushback is unique or unusual. Any time HHS does anything, you’ll have pushback from one group or another. That’s the way it works.
Chances are you will get the same effect from sativa aka cleaning weed as opposed to indica aka sleeping weed. My wife even takes delta 9 cbd for sleep and hip pain. I have no idea how it works. She bought a delta 9 smoothie and the next day, the hip pain was gone. The problem is that I can buy THC-A here but not delta 9. The law here makes no sense.
Adderall doesn’t cure behavior. It helps you to focus. It’s basically a stimulant. I knew accountants who were coffee junkies for the same reason.
Very true. Has to be sativa.
I am under the impression that no small number of school shooters had been prescribed psychotropic drugs.
Just my opinion that in many cases the ADHD drugs are BS and in some cases quite dangerous.
(The quoted part is from my all time favorite bumper sticker.)
Before he starts pulling meds, perhaps he ought to get rid of suspicious dyes, preservatives, and high fructose corn syrup. If he and others are correct in saying these items are responsible for ADHD and other psych diagnoses, then the need for these meds should diminish. Kids with cell phone addictions are a separate problem which can only be solved by parents.
The drugs ARE addictive. They are also the primary cause of child suicide. Child suicide was unheard of until the shrinks began pushing these drugs on our youths.
I’m with you on that. Frankly, I’d like them to take the perspective that the government had in the 60’s regarding seat belts and smoking. i.e. education through PSA’s, etc., rather than violating rights. Of course, that didn’t last long...๐คฃ
We start shoving drugs down children’s throats before they even start school and then we wonder why we have a drug problem.
The Sackler family approves.

There were two brothers who drove 18 wheel trucks, long haul.
They lived in North Carolina back in the 80s.
They would take amphetamines and do two California turnarounds at one time (Wilmington to LA and back, twice).
They earned enough money to buy a two story old home to remodel.
They were up for an entire week on amphetamines remodeling and decided to make the downstairs one big room. As soon as they cut out all the walls the house started to creek, they got out, and it collapsed in on itself.
That’s my amphetamine story.
I watch the court cases at this website

I observe that a high percent of the defendants have a drug addiction problem. And Meth seems to be their illicit drug of choice.
So does anyone besides me want to see the statistics on kids who took Adderall are now Meth addicts as adults.
When we lived in Polk County, FL in the 90s I had occasion to learn that the county schools had over ๐ฎ,๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐ธ๐ถ๐ฑ๐, ๐ป๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐น๐ ๐ฎ๐น๐น ๐บ๐ฎ๐น๐ฒ๐, ๐ผ๐ป ๐๐๐๐ ๐ฑ๐ฟ๐๐ด๐. I also learned of the “streamlined” process used to get them on the drugs. BS. Also, threats of bringing in child protection services if parents refused to knuckle under. Just another reason our kid got home schooled.
FASCISTS
They have tried to go after the gun manufacturers. I think it makes more sense to go after those who create and hand out the drugs that lead kids to pull triggers.
All of them. All adult mass shooters too.
The problem is establishing causality for drugs taken by a huge spectrum of Americans that donโt shoot up schools.
Back when my daughter was in about 3rd grade, 1994 or so, we were called in for a ‘conference’ with a ‘counselor’.
The gist of the meeting:
We need to put your daughter on some drugs to calm her down in class.
My immediate reaction:
HOW ABOUT I THROW YOUR ASS OUT THAT WINDOW RIGHT BEHIND YOU?
End of meeting.
No drugs.
Daughter is 38 years old and a professional..........
The researchers noted that โmore than half of the children in the United States with a treatable mental health disorder do not receive treatment from a mental health professional.โ
Oh. How would they know this? They just make these numbers up.
If psych drugs help then it would be logical that people on these drugs would be less likely to shoot their coworkers. Yet every shooter is on these drugs. Shrinks claim that half of people who are mentally ill don’t get the treatment they need. So why are all shooters getting treatment?
The treatments cause this carnage. The psychologists and psychiatrists are full aware of this. Increased violence allows these frauds to lobby for more mental health funding. The result is always more violence, not less.
I LOVE to read and have issues reading something that does not interest me.
That's not a sign of ADD or ADHD or anything else.
It's a normal human reaction to reading something that bores you out of your mind.
Apparently, his solution is to feed them better and let them play outside and burn it off.
I wonder if anyone has ever done a study on the numbers of kids who live in the country and live and work on farms being on these drugs compared to city kids who live with their hands glued to electronics 90% of their waking hours.
