I think the whole ADD phenemenon is simply blown way way out of proportion. People talk about it as a disorder or even a disease (which is ridiculous). I think obsession with ADD (whatever ADD actually is as clinically measured) is largely a matter of obsessive diagnosis and prescription in order to deal with children whose personalities may not function as well within typical school and social environments.

If it must be medicated however, I'm not opposed to the use of medicinal marijuanna to do it. I just think that the majority of children on ritilin are the subject of a medical culture that is itself hyperactive when it comes to identifying 'medical problems' that are in need of prescription solutions.
