Don't get all resentful and scoff at people you don't know jack shit about, making retarded blanket statements.

People with ADD respond differently to stimulants than people who don't have ADD. Case closed. And low doses of prescription stimulants are way safer and cleaner than sucking down caffeine all day that any kid can walk into a store and buy (or junk food or milk with hormones or all of the other chemicals and carcinogens stuffed into food that people shove down their kids throats).

I think it's funny that so many people who feel entitled to judge people with ADD are so often drug users (yes, I include booze) themselves only they have no excuse for their habits; it's not something they're doing to better themselves. "OH, I drink to RELAX!" Dudes, can't you use some willpower or do some yoga to achieve relaxation?
