I was prescribed Adderall as a child and was made to take it twice daily for many years. I had serious problems sleeping due to it and turned from an outgoing and popular student to a solitary and angry child. It isn't good for the development of children to be prescribing them a lighter version of meth. I was fortunate that my parents allowed me to choose to stop taking it before high school.I don't think anybody is proposing prescribing marijuana to children and forcing them into a lifelong dependency on it. If Adderall is just available, sure, whatever - but a lot of current users of it were initially forced into it without a clear understanding of the consequences.
