According to a 2010 US government survey, 1 in 10 American children now has attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)—a 22 percent increase from 2003. ADHD makes it hard for children to pay attention and control impulsive behavior. About two-thirds of the children diagnosed with ADHD are on some form of prescription medication, and according to data recently released by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), ADHD drugs such as Ritalin, Vyvanse, Strattera, and Adderall (and their generic equivalents) were responsible for nearly 23,000 emergency room visits in 2011. This is a more than 400 percent increase in ER visits due to adverse reactions to such drugs in a mere six years!

Supressing cures to poison mankind, and make billions and trilli
The right cure for add comes in inducing a relaxed state where information becomes profound, one of the best ways to do this is a simple oral dose of cannabis we're talking at a very very mild level. this induces great attention paying and true appreciation for all information presented to the person, boosts the intelligence in its ability to fathom and create new thoughts.
While it is perhaps something that we need some science to help us with, determing the right mg dose of thc in a pure organic chocolate for example, that is good for each child, giving t hem amphetamines is rather silly , those are jagged molecules that can induce great harm, can be overdosed upon and etc, cannabis can heal almost all illnesses.
