I clearly remember all of the 90's anti drug commercials that would air during x-men, teenage mutant ninja turtles, and power rangers, or pete and Pete and Pete. I never had any clue why someone would do drugs, I had no grasp on the concept of being "high" or what drugs did to the consciousness. Until 8th grade, when I got put on Adderall.i had gone from accelerated, gifted and talented, and honor roll to not giving one hot fuck about school around 6th grade. All the adults were baffled. It was the lare 1990's and any kid that fucked off in school was diagnosed with adhd. Some child psychiatrist told my parents that I had ADHD, and I should try 20mg of Adderall xr (amphetamine salts). Seeing kids head to the nurses office after lunch for their Ritalin or Adderall was a very normal part of the school day in the 90's and in the fall of 1999 I joined them. It went swimmingly... at first. Razor sharp focus, straight A's, happy teachers and happy paren...
