this thread blows. I have ADD and dont take the **** and never filled a prescription. So people that do this are douche bags. If you cant pass do the work without help, you shouldnt be in college.

I've used it for school, and it's very effective. However, I don't really like to use it because, like tittletown is, I'm very anti-pharmy. Plus, there's the fact that it's pretty much chemically identical to meth. Personally, I'd rather use coke.

I wouldn' call it steroids for students or cheating, however. It's not like it makes you smarter or more intelligent.

Adderall does a lot more than help you stay awake. The other is a prescription drug that is not available to most and requires you to break the law. It has lots of adverse effects and does a lot of work for you.

Interesting, I know people that are addicted to coke and sometimes take adderall to satisfy the craving (help them quit...kinda).

I honestly don't think i've ever felt i've had to try so hard at school that i'd need this stuff, but than again i go through school with the philosophy that p's get degrees (although i understand your school system works a bit different). But if i did, i guess i'd take it, i'm not against cheating and i've put worse things in my body.

I think the real question here is.....

What Would Tom Do?

And no, I do not use them. I don't have any illnesses affecting my ability to concentrate and while sometimes concentrating isn't easy, I just think about the thousands of dollars that its costing me to be here and I'm good. Really thats all it takes.

I'm not saying they are similar, but if you consider adderall cheating then coffee belongs in the same group. Caffeine is a stimulant and aids concentration and alertness, and is also addictive. The steroids comparison doesn't work with adderall because like yourfave said adderall doesn't make you smarter like steroids make you stronger. Adderall aids concentration, which leads you then to become smarter by learning. If you want to compare it to some sort of supplement then compare it to creatine.

Eh the laws are too black and white for society to function under them without breaking a few. Borrowing a friends adderall I'd say is about the same in moral wrongness as underage drinking.

It can make you focus more than you usually do. It's a huge problem in colleges. I know it is here. Personally, I prefer to use caffeine. Adderall is overrated if you ask me. As for use to help those with ADD, my friend uses it because his ADD is pretty bad and it allows him to study normally.
