(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Adderall, as many know, is an ADHD medication which helps patients stay alert and awake and helps lessen ADHD symptoms. But now, Adderall has become a quite popular substance in Colleges and High Schools.

Adderall basically gives anybody that takes it an edge, where they can stay awake for days at the most, and the concentration levels of anybody who takes it is dramatically increased. This is what gives Adderall the nickname of "Academic Steroids". A recent study shows that people who use Adderall scored about 96% average on tests, but only about 84% when clean of the drug. Also, in Yale University, the SAT scores of kids who took Adderall the day or 2 before the tests scored, believe this, 500 points HIGHER than the average of those who do not take it.

Even though this drug gives people the ability to study for hours and hours at night on end, and even increase grades. It doesn't naturally make you smarter, it only increases your ability to concentrate and stay up, so yes it will make you smarter after about 4 hours if you study while on the drug. But there are negatives to this as well.

First off, Adderall is a Schedule 2 Drug, this means that this drug is about the same level and Cocaine and Meth-amphetamine. Also, even though some College students use it occasionally for a boost to write an essay or study for finals, some take an addiction to this drug, and an overdose can potentially lead to Cardiac Arrest or Heart Attack. Also, the "coming down" sucks ass, because your body finally notices how much sleep it hasn't gotten, so you feel shitty for a while after.

So what to you think about the use of Adderall or any other ADHD in schools? Would you consider this cheating? This has over the years become a huge issue throughout schools in the US, yet no one has spoken out on it yet.

Also, believe it or not, but some parents actually buy their kids these pills just so they do better in school!

What you think about all this?

That.is.awesome.

I forgot to post this, but it costs about 2 dollars per 40 mg pill where I live but I hear about $10 for a full container of 10 pills, but those are 2 mg pills. Basically this is studying on meth

Send me some? :carling:

I do agree that Adderall can be a dangerous drug if abused. But using it in school is not cheating. At least not according to the rule books. I myself have used Adderall and if not handled correctly it can actually cause a decrease in concentration if the dose taken is too much. It also causes high amounts of energy and hyper activity in those that are otherwise calm and collected. Adderall is actually a pretty un predictable drug.

In the end I say, no it's not cheating, but yes it is a dangerous drug if abused.

I've taken them before and they really do help. However, I wouldn't classify it as cheating as much as I would drug abuse.

Great. Now it needs to be banned.

I took it once, it's common in college because students use it to stay up and study for mid terms and exams. But 20mg-80mg is plenty... I was talking really fast, but for the most part it keeps you concentrated and you may find yourself better at video games lol. But it is illegal so therefore it's already banned and the teacher would have no idea what students had advantages over the other.

would never take it.

I need my A*' though :y:

I be legit

I don't know if it's cheating, but it helps you stay up all night to study... It's like crack, but for the brain to actually help you be productive.
