> F. If these drugs are addictive, why are they legal to sell when, let's say, cocaine as an example, is not?
> G. If around 36,000 people die per year in the U.S. alone from related psychotropic drug issues, which means that world-wide it is likely that 300,000 die each year which could mean that millions of people could die from related issues with these drugs in the decades ahead, and that millions have died already from issues related from these drugs, how could these chemicals, in your opinion, be allowed to be sold?

> LouFM,
Now if you have such a discussion with the person that is prescribing these drugs to you, and you are going to follow the advice of a member here to include Concerta which is a preparation of methylphenidate which Ritalin is, then I ask that you show the following video to him/her.
If you could, then I ask that you ask the prescriber:
A. What is going to happen to me if I include Concerta to the drugs that I am taking now that you have prescribed for me?
