Ritalin is not an illegal drug unless found on a person who is not prescribed to it. If you are prescribed to it and taking it right then you have nothing to worry about. If you are caught selling it or buying it from people that is considered drug transfer which is illegal.

It is legal if you have a prescription for it. If it is not prescribed it is illegal because it is a schedule II substance which means it is in the same class of drugs as meth, coke, and morphine.

Ritalin is prescribed for obesity, chronic fatigue, ADHD/ADD depression, narcolepsy, and other things sometimes.

Not if you have a prescription and aren't selling it. It is legal to take if you have a prescription.
