Default Ritalin is a gateway to cocaine abuse

Yeah, so he says, because he is a big ritalin pusher. But the fact is that
his data show that ritalin users are more likely to abuse cocaine. His
theory for the reason is questionable.


So you say. Of course, Dr. B reached his conclusion by analysis, not idle
specualtion. We know your biases, and your proclivity for idle specualtion.

BTW, the data don't seem to be available; I just posted the abstract link.


I am sure it is available in the original article.

Dust off your library card.
