World's Largest Meth Lab Guilty For False Advertising To Kids

Methamphetamine (and its chemical cousin amphetamine) is a highly addictive and dangerous Schedule II drug in the United States. Street thugs sell it as meth, poor man’s cocaine, crystal, ice, glass, and speed. They go to jail when caught. Pharmaceutical companies sell it as the prescription drug “Adderall.” They make hundred of millions of dollars.

Admittedly, Adderall (and meth) is great for learning an entire semester of college in a matter of 5 hours or bench pressing 325lbs. But it isn’t a vitamin. It’s a hardcore drug with hardcore side effects. And children should not be taking this drug daily! But America's largest meth lab feels otherwise.

Adderall, a cocktail of amphetamine salts, is manufactured by Shire Richwood, Inc. (Shire). Shire deals an estimated $345 million worth of this deadly drug every year. Their success lies in deceptive advertising to children and parents.

The FDA previously sent a letter to Shire stating that it was in clear violation of the regulations. The corporate crook promoted it as a safe and effective drug for a myriad of health abnormalities among children. Yea, “meth” for kids. Believe it. n
According to Shire, meth can be used for children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), depression and narcolepsy. n
According to Shire, Adderall has a long ‘half-life,’ and therefore is “perfect” for kids who want to take meth before they go to school in order to be more private in their drug use.[i] n
According to Shire, parents should, “Choose convenience ─ [your kids should] start school this year with Adderall!” n
Shire insists that they have a study to back these claims – studies conveniently designed, performed and funded by them!

The study data was presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Psychiatric Association. [ii] The official results were, “We were quite encouraged to see that, at this stage of the study, not only has Adderall therapy been safe and efficacious, but every patient showed improvement in core symptoms of the condition, with no evidence of an emerging drug tolerance.” This is pharmaceutical fellatio at its best. Dr. Richard Weisler, M.D. is the guilty party.

Despite Shire’s non-compliance with the law, the FDA did not press charges. This is business as usual in the grimy, wealthy world of Big Pharma.

Avoid drugs by using naturally occurring amphetamines (NOA’s). They are safer, less expensive and work great at increasing focus; yerba mate, green tea, zhi shi, ma huang, sida cordifolia and Mormon tea. Our ancestors used them safely for thousands of years to increase mental focus and physical performance.
