Ritalin (methylphenidate) is speed, amphetamines, you know basically legalized meth.

When I was an undergraduate (1968-1972), one commonly saw signs posted around college campuses warning, "Speed Kills!"
The signs did not refer to traffic violations.
By now most Americans are aware of a form of speed called methamphetamine, and most are also aware that people strung out on speed are a physical and psychological mess.
What all too many people do not realize, however, is that meth is not the only--or even the most readily available--form of speed.
That would be Ritalin.
That's right--Ritalin. The drug little Tommy takes for his ADD, so that he can control his impulsive behavior and focus on his studies in school.
Ritalin (methylphenidate) is a form of speed. Chemically, it is virtually identical to Dexedrine, another drug often prescribed for ADD, and its psychological and physiological effects are also virtually identical.

But no, your right, you were a happy little zombie who sat in class and payed attention.
And as he pointed out, if everyone suffers from it, how is it a disease or disorder?
