The new Canadian magazine Maclean's reported in an article about this trend disturbing "Ritalin has become one of the most popular drugs in major cities in western Canada. Inspector of Police in Vancouver, Gordon Spencer called the "poor man's substitute for heroin. "According to Detective Spencer, Ritalin occupies fourth place behind marijuana, cocaine and heroin is the drug most commonly used in the streets of Vancouver. "
In the U.S., the situation is much better. There are numerous reports of parents and teenagers do not use their laws and then sell them to drug dealers or street.
The Physician's Desk Reference, which lists all prescription drugs and their side effects that "Ritalin should be given cautiously to emotionally unstable patients such as those with an addiction or alcoholism. "
But that Ritalin does not mean that child is automatically an addict. However, it increases the chances of addiction among those already considered high risk.
