And heroin (with a few chemical bit twiddles) is used to treat pain after major surgeries and accidents. And methamphetamine (with a few chemical bit twiddles) is used to treat stuffy noses. Face it, almost all drugs can be misused...but that is not a reason for them to be banned.
After 8 years and 3 dropouts into my 4 year undergrad degree, I was finally diagnosed with ADHD. My pre-diagnosis GPA was 1.9, my post-diagnosis GPA was 3.9. I graduated less than two years later, and within 3 years I was earning a 6-figure income and providing for a wife and newborn child. I would likely be a divorced, homeless, deadbeat dad without Vyvanse (or its similarly Amphetamine-derived Adderall).
Don't take my life away from me, and don't take it away from anyone else, just because you have a fucking delusional conspiracy theory that a drug company is trying to addict kids to speed.
