Yes, I recall that discussion.
The problem I have, is that once you have a prescription, you have the potential for abuse, in a population with a huge potential for abuse, or they would not need these drugs in the first place. I don't discount the need for these drugs, or their effectiveness, or their safety, if used properly. What I am concerned about is whether they will be used properly, by college-aged kids on their own, exposed to illegal drugs as well, and under enormous pressure in their chosen major or field of endeavor.
Mark, you have a son who is a musician. Do you want him to use these drugs? If he does, do you worry about it?
