Adderall

So. Devin messages me to tell me that the Canadian government has taken Adderall off the shelves. He tells me it's a form of Rytalin. And that the side effects include heart problems, etc.
Then he tells me he's been on it since december. Apparently, he's ADD and he's been taking rytalin since grade 7, 3 years ago. I did not know this.
And what the hell kind of doctor would give their patient a drug that could cause heart problems when my family has a history of heart problems? My great aunt and my grandfather just died of heart-related issues.

Look at these side effects. How could anyone even think of putting something with effects like these on the market? How did this get passed? Where the hell is our tax money going, to pay for incompetent sloths who let shit get through the system???
FUCKERS.
