Color me profoundly unsurprised, with hints of "so what?".

Until their backs are turned. Then it's stabbin' time!

A. It's not methylated (as in methamphetamine), so the action is slower and more consistent.

B. At doses of 60mg/day and under, the risk of harmful side-effects is very, very low.

C. It's an incredibly effective treatment for a number of conditions, some of which cannot be treated via other means.

If I don't take mine, I fall asleep at my desk. Employers hate that. I take it and I'm as awake and focused as "normal".

I'm torn about what it would mean for more people to be taking it. It could drive up my cost at the pharmacy, or it could lead to a surge in production that lowers my costs.

Envy me.

What I'm wondering now though is how much flexibility the FAA and courts have in charging/sentencing people with that registration offence. I'd hate to think people could be going to prison because they forgot to file some paperwork on time.
