Society has extremely unrealistic expectations on children, and when they can't meet them, what do we do, break out the amphetamines and other powerful stimulants of course. The whole War on Drugs is predicated on the idea that we need to protect children from drug addiction. While we enthusiastically give them some of the most addictive drugs in existence. Well, yes, one of the effects of speed is to make you more focused. When it's in the service of society, it's fine; when it's in the service of your own enjoyment, it's somehow wrong and therefore illegal. The levels of hypocrisy we're willing to reach to justify certain ends are astounding.

"Prohibition will work great injury to the cause of temperance. It is a species of intemperance within itself, for it goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation, and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A Prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded." --Abraham Lincoln
