Other Answers:
lol wtf!

ritalin is supposed to calm down people with ADD/ADHD. How could your friend possibly think it is getting him high? It's purely psychological; he just thinks it's making him feel different.

As for the long term effects, snorting anything can cause damage to your nasal passage. And taking any kind of prescription drug without reason is probably not healthy.

Maybe he should stick to something safer like pixie sticks. Or just stop being a dumbass and find something better to do with his time.
Prescription drugs that are abused or used for nonmedical reasons can alter brain activity and lead to dependence. Commonly abused classes of prescription drugs include opioids (often prescribed to treat pain), central nervous system depressants (often prescribed to treat anxiety and sleep disorders), and stimulants (prescribed to treat narcolepsy, ADHD, and obesity).
Methylphenidate is a central nervous system (CNS) stimulant. It has effects similar to, but more potent than, caffeine and less potent than amphetamines. It has a notably calming and “focusing” effect on those with ADHD, particularly children.
When abused, the tablets are either taken orally or crushed and snorted. Some abusers dissolve the tablets in water and inject the mixture; complications can arise from this because insoluble fillers in the tablets can block small blood vessels.
Long-term use of opioids or central nervous system depressants can lead to physical dependence and addiction. Taken in high doses, stimulants can lead to compulsive use, paranoia, dangerously high body temperatures, and irregular heartbeat.
