   While searching for new material in your post I noted your sig.   
      
   Replacing an ADDer's Ritalin with methamphetamine would make little   
   difference in behavior--amphetamines are also effective treatments for   
   ADHD. Desoxyn, which is FDA-approved for treatment of ADHD, is mostly   
   methamphetamine.   
      
   While I agree with your general assessment of the movie, as an ADDer I   
   must protest the incorrect view of the effect of stimulant medications   
   on those of us who have it.
