We know getting hammered is probably not great for our liver, but we do it because we enjoy the feeling. I don't think prescription drugs are much different in that respect.
Note: I don't take Ritalin

If instead of Pharmaceutical speed (ritalin) you take street speed you will have the most productive 72 hours of your life.
Not only will you catch up on weeks of work, you'll probably end up cleaning the whole house and mowing the lawn...all while enjoying doing it like never before.
Should you carry on taking it because it "works" and makes life temporarily better?
How about if you were procrastinating before, was it because you had a speed deficiency?
