Does Ritalin get placed in the stats for child drug abuse and addiction If not why not?

Question by Trout: Does Ritalin get placed in the stats for child drug abuse and addiction If not why not?
Just the statistics — does Ritalin make it to just the stats on child drug abuse and addiction ?

Why not ? It is a stimulant with addictive qualities side effects and withdrawal and makes up an increasing number of children every year who are becoming younger and younger consumers of the cocaine like addictive stimulant

So why exclude it ? Big money Pharma doesn’t want a bad name ?
Ritalin is a schedule 11 drug which needs a prescription similar to morphine

The stats for this prescription which are never transferred to drug and addiction stats are increasing and taking in children as young as 6 yrs old now

Keeping the addiction rates out of the stats or only including them in a vague “prescription” drug ” category — What could be their motive in this deceptive book keeping they have so carefully crafted over the decades ?

I agree although I am not advocating anything more than milk for children but “funny” just isn’t they right word any more

You know giving kids pot is wrong — I fail to see how a chemical stimulant with addictive qualities and withdrawal etc can suddenly become right

Oh it is a lot worse that that — I wear a lot of plaid and ride a bike

Worse yet wearing plaid and riding a bike make me almost completely blend in to my surroundings

What are you talking about ?

They publish the stats for the drug as in how many and who it is being prescribed to Research it yourself

They just never allow those stats to be transfered to the stats collected on drug abuse and addiction and in the rare cases when they have no choice at all they hide it under the category of “prescriptions medication” as a way to protect the individual drugs prescribed so people can go along their day in blissful drugged ignorance
