Got a short little span of attention

This is interesting. The "use of prescription drugs for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is growing at a faster rate among adults than children." It seems as their kids are being diagnosed with the disorder, the parents are thinking they have the same symptoms.

It always strikes me as ironic that we're the most pharmaceutically medicated society on earth, yet we spend billions every year "fighting" eight drugs that were arbitrarily declared illegal.
