   Salut Zee,   
      
   Most people getting a Rx for Dexedrine don't   
   look for a "high". In fact most of them don't   
   know that it can be abused. People with ADD   
   have a big problem and they don't have the same   
   response to drugs as other people do. Codeine   
   makes my son speedy like crazy and Ritalin   
   makes is brain focus and slow down.   
      
   Most people who get Rx for this medication   
   would like to stop them and lots of teenagers   
   "forget" to take them cause they don't like it.   
      
   There is something really important here. It is   
   the reason why you take drugs. People take   
   demerol on Rx too but they have a reason and   
   most people would prefer not having a reason   
   to take it.   
      
   People who buy amphetamine on the street can't   
   be put in the same bag as the ones taking it   
   for ADD (unless like lots of people, you try   
   to resolve a medical problem with street drugs).   
   Saying there is no difference between both is   
   not a good argument. Try to get a Rx here in   
   Canada here for Dexedrine if you are an adult.   
   You will see that you will have a lot of tests   
   to go through and they will try other drugs   
   before. It's very difficult to fake ADD.   
      
   I don't judge people who takes drugs. I really   
   don't care but don't use the excuse that some   
   people can obtain it legally. It is because they   
   need them and they didn't ask for it. They would   
   prefer not needing them.
