Other Ritalin side effects can include:
  • Hypersensitivity
  • Anorexia
  • Heart palpitations
  • Blood pressure and pulse changes
  • Cardiac arrhythmia
  • Anemia
  • Scalp hair loss
  • Psychosis
The following, though rare, have also been reported as Ritalin side effects:
  • Abnormal liver function
  • Cerebral arteritis
  • Leukopenia
  • Death
Death?? Not sure of the last time a weed brownie caused Leukopenia.
I certainly wasn't trying to defend Ritalin in that post. I just don't think a weed brownie a day is the answer for ADD.

Plus, you think kids are getting overweight now? Add munchies and we have a whole new problem
