Season 2 just started and the first few episodes are on PBS Masterpiece until Feb 28, 2012.

Unfortunately, many people are told or accept that they are lifelong users of the “medicine”. In fact, they consistently argue with me when I say they should get off of it. Unable to get off, deny that they are overusing….is that not addiction?

Please don’t forget that this whole conversation is being pushed by the massive drug industry. In the psychology industry the value of Adderall is constantly debated. Half of the field, called psychologists, specifically resist drug prescriptions and take a massive income loss in doing so. They believe that the “medicine” is psychotherapy and lifestyle changes.

The other half of the field, called psychiatrists, specifically become accredited to administer drugs. They believe that helping people sometimes involves drugs and sometimes not. Still, the whole profession does not support long term use of the drug, mostly because the long term effects are mostly unknown.

Like I said, unfortunately, most of this is forgotten in the massive marketing and lobbying campaigns that Big-Pharma puts out.

CD’s at $17 a pop were just too expensive for me. I would buy one not like all the songs and then be upset that I couldn’t get others. It always frustrated me. Add in that for years as a kid I did not have cable so I missed out on MTV.

Pretty much my whole experience with music prices were miserable. I would debate that consumers were willing to pay. My opinion is that they were forced to pay it.
