> As a recovering addict I have to tell you that I and most of the addicts I know
could get addicted to horse poop, no matter the route of ingestion. Given the right
circumstances, it's entirely possibly to get addicted to ritalin or any other drug,
whether taken orally or otherwise. Snorting or any other abusive ingestion of ritalin
et al increases the possibility of addiction since it introduces a relatively large amount
directly into your system [thru your mucous membranes]all at once. The high this produces
may/will over time become harder and harder to get -- in susceptible individuals, addiction
can follow increasing tolerance to the drug.
