Many people share the experience of feeling that their lives have been enriched by drugs, including prescribed sympathmemetics and the sympathamemetics obtained illegally.
It is unlikely the several MDs scheduled to appear will testify of their subjective personal experience with drugs. I wonder if the Texas Board of Education will entertain anecdotal testimony or if they will restrict the hearing to scientific evidence and clinical experience.
