Surprised to see no reference to methylphenidate/Ritalin.

I approve of this kind of post, supportive of illegality though it may be. Cheers, mate!

P.S.

On further reflection, I'm not in favor of illegality as such. We're never going to have perfect laws, but those of us who live in liberal democracies should almost always follow the rules, even when the rules are sort of stupid. But the so-called war on drugs in America has become thoroughly ridiculous. Especially when those drugs may be performance enhancing. </ ranty afterthought>

Look again: Alice mentions Ritalin in the Stimulants section, after the amphetamines, but only briefly because she doesn't know much about it. If you'd like to contribute what you know and/or have experienced, it would be greatly appreciated. :)

Indeed, it is there. I must have mistyped when I tried to search. Thanks.
