All I read is the same bullshit these people have been pumping into the masses' brains for years.

"Abuse, however, is not restricted to prescription drugs. Perhaps more concerning is the fact that over-the-counter drugs, which can be accessed more easily and conveniently, can also be habit forming and prone to abuse. One of the more common are drugs that contain dextromethorphan, the common active ingredient shared by over the counter cough and cold medicines. When taken in excessive quantities beyond its intended use - which is basically to treat common colds and cough - it can cause euphoria and impaired judgment, and may eventually result in nausea and vomiting, loss of coordination, increased heart rate and blood pressure, and brain damage."

They did at lest include euphoria.

They just skimmed right by the fact that stimilants can help almost anyone while at work. They barely mention the universal benefit.

What idiots, did they forget methamphetamine is a prescription drug too, not an illegal one?

[Quon]

They barely mention the [...] benefit.

What's new? These so called medical "professionals" refuse to examine all the data because it doesn't support their agenda.

Very true.

Not the best article I've ever read by any stretch.
