In my experience the people that I know that are on "safe" drugs such as Prozac, Adderall, Ritalin, Xanax are the ones having the tougher problem with addiction compared to the people I have met that have used illicit drugs such as Heroin. Companies like Shire Pharmaceuticals selling amphetamines to kids are no better for society than your average heroin dealer. I mean atleast the heroin dealer is honest with the fact that the drug he is selling is absolutely going to have an addictive effect whereas giving kids speed or even methamphetamine (prescription brand Desoxyn in the pharma world) to treat ADHD is somehow a more noble profession.
