Where Did All The Adderall Go?

I've been researching the mysterious American adderall shortage that has paralyzed the cognition and emptied the pocketbooks of millions of legal tweakers (my suffering self included) this year. Looks like the company that introduced the drug to begin with, Shire Plc, is taking advantage of the DEA quota system to boost sales of its new drug Vyvanse—which is basically Dexedrine bioengineered just enough to warrant a new patent—and screw over generic makers of Adderall. Anyway I've produced a fun history of amphetamine, shortages, grotesque corporate greed and the Holy Grail of Big Pharma business models that is the "addiction-proof" addictive drug.
