No Adderall in Canada
Wednesday, April 20th, 2005Adderall was banned earlier this year in Canada.
It is a shame that stimulants can be abused, because they help so many people so greatly. Every time I hear a story about college students abusing Ritalin or Adderall, it makes me very angry. It makes it more difficult for the people who really need the medications to have them.
The real people who suffer are those who need it for driving, and for work. A wonder drug like Adderall can help a person pull himself or herself together enough to go out and find a job, and then to hold the job steadily. That tends to be the fate of wonder drugs; they are so helpful that people who don’t need them start abusing them, and then the wonder drugs get banned for everyone.
If I depended on Adderall but lived in Canada, the ban would be enough to make me move to the United States.
