     ^ The Author hypothesized around 2010 a link btwn ADHD treatment w stimulants & substance use disorder.

     "This study found no evidence that stimulant treatment was associated with increased or decreased risk for later frequent use of alcohol, marijuana, cigarette smoking, or other substances used for adolescents and young adults with childhood ADHD."

     Tell the pharmacist to STFU or tell the truth that a Nixon era law is forcing u to sign.
