Ritalin linked to youth crime and substance abuse (a blast from the past)

A study from several months ago says kids who use Ritalin for extended periods are at much greater risk for lawbreaking and drug abuse.

Although it's an American study, I can't find it covered anywhere other than foreign news sources, because America's right-wing media sweeps it under the rug. (tIm u r a tErRoRiSt lololololol!!!) Not only that, but it took until now for me to find out about it at all.

The report says that the longer a child uses the drug, the worse their delinquency got. Kids who took Ritalin were at 27% risk of committing a crime, while the risk was only 7% among other children. The rate of substance abuse among children taking Ritalin was 17%, which is twice as high as it is among kids who don't take this toxin.

I wonder what excuses the programmies are going to come up with to try to put a happy face on this study. Of course, if they're in the U.S. and A., they're not going to need to, because the study has been ignored all along by the American media anyway.

It's a shame so many young people's lives have been ruined or ended by psychotropic drugs all because the pharmaceutical racket wanted to Make Money at their expense.
