- Embed this noticePatents aren't based on reason though, they're based on bribery. All they'd have to do is tweak the existing production process plausibly and patent that, then get the existing version on the controlled substances list.
The reason no one will do this is because whoever's making ritalin already has ritalin, and no one else particularly wants to go to war with them.
If DMAE became sufficiently popular it absolutely would be outlawed purely because of it's potential to compete with ritalin. Same way the only opioids we're legally allowed access to are ones made by the jews.
