>>Whether Ritalin is 'worth the risk' is a personal judgement
If Ritalin becomes legal for enhancement purposes, as you recommend, it won't be a personal judgement to use it or not; it will be something you will have to use just to compete.
Edit: That said, I'd love to get my hands on Ritalin legally. :-) (I'm not going to start doing illegal drugs.)
- veidr 15y agoThat's probably true, to an extent. I mean, not that people would literally be forced to use performance-enhancing drugs, but that they might feel increasingly pressured to do so. Still, people already have to make a lot of hard health-impacting choices in order to compete. For instance, I would be surprised if Ritalin, in commonly prescribed doses, was likely to be more harmful than the unhealthily insufficient sleep habits of many (most?) harried modern workers. (I'd definitely welcome additional studies on both of those topics, though.)
