Usual ad hominem

Ritalin is not a narcotic drug. You have been told this before.
Repeating the lie will not make it true.


Methylphenidate (MPH) is an amphetamine-like prescription stimulant

"Amphetamines. These are extremely dangerous drugs. They include
dextro-amphetamine, Benzedrine, methamphetamine and amphetamine-like
compounds such as Ritalin. In general, in high doses, these drugs cause a
"body trip" and cessation of thinking activity. In the early days when
Dexedrine was first synthesized by Smith, Kline and French in Philadelphia,
I did some psychopharmacologic experiments on myself with it. In doses of
150 mgm. there is a spectacular increase in bodily energy and a spectacular
decrease in one's critical faculties in regard to this bodily energy. There
is a hedonistic over-valuation of one's own bodily acitivity so that
repeating tapeloops of bodily movement, for example, can occur for hours at
a time. With amphetamines, tank work can become rather repetitious and
simpleminded. For three or four days after such a trip, there is total
exhaustion of the organism. This state can lead to negative things such as
trying to get "back to normal" by taking more of the amphetamines. This
drives one further into the exhaustion cycle and finally one becomes quite
paranoid, quite frightened, and may "freak out" totally. In an attempt to
escape the penalty of such tripping, certain persons have taken to
barbiturates to calm down the system after the trip. This leads to a
cyclical effect in which one gets so depressed by the barbiturates that one
takes amphetamines to come up again; one gets so excited by the amphetamines
that one takes the barbiturates to go down again. This cyclical "tapeloop"
of two drugs can be extremely dangerous-one can end up dead in a
hurry. We recommend that amphetamines not be used in tank
research."--John Lilly MD

Between 1990 and 2000 there were 186 deaths from methylphenidate reported to
the FDA MedWatch program, a voluntary reporting scheme, the numbers of which
represent no more than 10 to 20% of the actual incidence. Source:

It is a class B drug along with amphetamine


The amphetamines are potent psychomotor stimulants. Their use causes a
release of the excitatory neurotransmitters dopamine and noradrenaline
(norepinephrine) from storage vesicles in the CNS. Amphetamines may be
sniffed, swallowed, snorted or injected. They induce exhilarating feelings
of power, strength, energy, self-assertion, focus and enhanced motivation.
The need to sleep or eat is diminished. The release of dopamine typically
induces a sense of aroused euphoria which may last several hours: unlike
cocaine, amphetamine is not readily broken down by the body. Feelings are
intensified. The user may feel he can take on the world.
The euphoria doesn't last. There follows an intense mental
depression and fatigue. Amphetamine depletes the neuronal stores of dopamine
in the mesolimbic pleasure centres of the brain.

More than any other illegal drug, speed is associated with violence
and anti-social behavior. Occasional light and infrequent use is probably
relatively harmless; but heavy chronic use can lead to stereotypies of
behavior, depressive disorders, "meth bugs" akin to cocaine-induced
formication, strain on the cardiovascular system, increasing behavioral
disintegration, and outright "amphetamine psychosis".



Amphetamine is structurally related to ephedrine, a natural stimulant found
in plants of the genus Ephedra. It is also structurally related to
adrenaline, the body's "fight or flight" hormone. Amphetamine was first
synthesised by Edeleano in Germany in 1887, but it only entered clinical
medicine in the late 1920s when its psychostimulant effect was recognised.
The US medical and pharmaceutical establishment was worried that supplies of
ephedra in faraway China would be exhausted. Amphetamine promised a cheap
and synthetic substitute. Like ephedrine, amphetamine dilates the bronchial
small sacs of the lungs, a great blessing for sufferers from breathing
disorders. So in 1932, Smith, Kline and French introduced the famous
Benzedrine Inhaler.

Amphetamine sulphate was aggressively marketed for asthmatics,
hay-fever sufferers and anyone with a cold. Amphetamine was soon available
in pill form too. "Pep pills" were sold over the counter for all manner of
ailments. Doctors prescribed amphetamine for depression, Parkinson's
disease, epilepsy, travel-sickness, night-blindness, hyperactive disorders
of children, obesity, narcolepsy, impotence, and apathy in old age.
