Quote:No justification for taking Adderall is necessary if he took it exactly as prescribed: same time, same dose, every day. The problem was instead of doing that, he alternated between Adderall (the right drug) and Ritalin (the wrong drug).  Where is the justification in that decision? I don't see it because the doctor only prescribed Adderall - Ritalin is just another prescription drug. Weed is a totally different issue that I hope other players will open up about.

 

A clear and obvious aspect of this, and it's probably the key aspect when you get down to it, is that Britton wasn't taking the Adderall / Ritalin as a drug to rehabilitate his body but to use it as an "edge" that would help him compete at his job.

 

Now, you are blatantly ignoring this part of the story and I imagine that you'll pin it on how it's part of your background / situation, but one only need to read the line that Britton wrote that states "...I knew I wouldn’t be able to perform to the best of my ability without it [Adderall]..." Britton viewed the drug as more than simply a medication to treat an illness or deficiency; he looked at them as tools that he would need in order to perform.

 

But please, flail away.
