There has been enough coverage of abuse of ADHD medication like Ritalin that you would think people will start looking at those like any other drugs. But they're still being prescribed big time.

A good indication of how prevalent the use and abuse of drugs have become are the Google ads that pop up every time I list a news item related to drugs on this site. I don't have any control over the ads that show up here, but take a look and see how big the economy of selling drugs and drug services (getting on and off them) are!!!

Very good point, Clara. thanks for pointing that out.

The only thing that drug testing accomplishes is to vilify and bully young people yet again. Maybe that's the point?

Drug testing is just another form of social control.
