They're arranged in Schedules... Schedule I is the worst highly addictive, with no recognized(by the feds) medical use... Marijuana, designer drugs, that sort... the stuff you can pretty much ONLY buy on the street.
Schedule II is the medical stuff that can be highly addictive and abused. Cocaine, Percoset, Oxycodone, and....
Just about every ADHD drug known to man. Quick research tells me 3-5% of kids are diagnosed with ADHD, and up to half of them retain it as adults.
Given the drugs' locations in the schedule- on par with cocaine, and two schedules higher than Marinol (basically THC), and the stigma attached to ADHD kids being bullied until they pull a Columbine, this is just asked all the anti's to blackball every kid who ever was diagnosed with ADHD.
Further, you now have your doctor in the mix. Take Diazepam. It's Mind altering, Schedule IV. But given some of the things it's for.. it would be good they don't have weapons... some of the other things it's for.. for example to take before the anesthesia you take for surgery..
