Weed is not a treatment for ADHD, therapeutic doses of amphetamines generally don't cause dependency issues in the way you're thinking of. Pharmaceuticals aren't the devil and god your writing style is off the charts pretentious.

Perhaps my pretentiousness-recognition skills are poor, but I'm not sure I can regognize any ways in which the GP's post or writing style is pretentious. Can you elaborate on what makes one think the writing is pretentious? I'd like to avoid it. ... and if you think I'm being pretentious when writing this, sorry. As I mentioned, I don't even know how I'd recognize it.

  You're not being pretentious. :P To answer your question, it's a combination of being long winded, using unnecessary non-standard phrasing like "industrialized-pharmaceuticals", thinking they know better than medical science/that there's a conspiracy to drug everybody so that they can't notice the conspiracy, and it all just adds up to a crackpot. In general, pretentious is when you try to make your content 'deeper' than its actual information value.

    >>"unnecessary non-standard phrasing" You mean in lieu of those presented in the DSM? Oh, I get it: you're a member of the pharma-cult.

  I think the conclusion comes from a perception that the narrative in my position is not 'the mainstream perspective', and therefore its a matter of pretense over the popular. And to that, I can only say that the popular opinion is not always the better position. Fight the power. In this case, the power is industrialized pharmaceuticals. Just because its been sold to you as a solution, doesn't mean the problem is solved ..
