Drugs like amphetamines are dangerous and need to be illegal for your protection. Unless you are an 8 year old who won't sit still in a desk for 8 hours, then amphetamines are safe and effective. If you don't get it, you aren't trusting the $cience hard enough

There was quite a good documentary in the UK where a bunch of ADD kids were taught mindfulness and most were able to come of their medication. That's points to behaviour and upbringing being the main issue.

I like mindfulness, use it myself for pain and insomnia sometimes, but I don't see how it's not disassociation. Disassociated is viewed as a bad thing unless they call it mindfulness. I know they say it isn't the same thing but unless I'm doing it wrong, they're the same thing. I don't know why disassociation is a bad thing. And really, it has to be worse than what the meds do to you, or can do to you, to be a worse option.
