As I said in my last reply to you, I'm not defending Ritalin. I know nearly nothing about it. I was simply sharing my experience with the proposed alternative.

Cannabis could very well be the lesser of two evils here but that doesn't necessarily make it a good idea. Consider the possibility that neither Ritalin or marijuana are appropriate for school kids.
