The double standard in American’s drug policy towards children

The double standard in American’s drug policy towards children.
… I believe it is time we abolished the industry of psychiatry and its disastrous “treatment” of children with dangerous, mind-altering chemicals. If we continue to allow these profit-minded psych doctors to drug an entire generation with amphetamines, the long-term consequences to society will no doubt be devastating. Children do not need mind-altering drugs to demonstrate normal, balanced behavior. They simply need honest nutrition, responsible parenting and to be kept away from refined sugars, petrochemical food additives and processed foods.”
