I dont think looking to the parents who were told by trusted professionals that their children should be taking adderall for the solution to "the war on drugs" is going to be very effective. Even when ADD gets a new name and people realize that giving speed to growing children might not be the best idea, there will still be drugs at your daughter's school. In fact, at least the pills she ended up with came from a pharmacy rather than some concoction of household cleaners and solvents. The hole baby boomer scare tactics campaign never worked because it left kids wondering why people took drugs in the first place.
When your daughter takes the pills, she actually ends up feeling quite nice for a while. Then she gets burnt out and her and little johnny who was prescribed them in the first place won't be annoying their teachers anymore. Thats just one opinion. The other is that, before little johnny went into business for himself in the playground, the high grade crystal meth he was being prescribed calmed him down and made him able to concentrate in class.
I don't know if you're aware, but adderall is an extremely potent sexual stimulant. Amphetamines can be effectively used to solve concentration difficulties, but it requires a mature and responsible individual. Who's idea was it to make us younger generations guinea pigs anyway?
