Yes but they interact with the same customers over long periods of time. I hate to tell you, but people can come to conclusions about the world. Its not a walled garden. I can see with my own two eyes what happens.

Go ahead and take legal cocaine though, hope your post helps you sleep at night

Correlation =\ causation and exactly what objective conclusion can you draw from a ~5 minute encounter every month as a pharmacist seeing random customers who can go to any pharmacy to get their meds?

I get a new pharmacist every time I fill a script and I never share one iota of my diagnoses with them, they just fill the Rx and advise on contraindications and unusual doses they see.

Can you see into a person's brain with your own 'two eyes' as well? A neuroscientist can actually see our neural activity with fMRI and other tools to study brain science unlike your pharmacist buddies and yourself talking to random customers for 5 minutes in a grocery store.

No need to be rude. Just because you see something doesn't mean your getting the whole picture.

Do you know their entire medical history? How severe the ADHD is? Any other issues they are treating or not treating? If you can point to a study to back up what you are saying then by all means go for it. Otherwise all you have is anecdotal evidence and pretty weak evidence at that.
