Tom Ashbrook had an interesting show on February 6, 2013 on the growing use of Aderall on college campuses in the US as the new "study drug". How much Aderall is being used at SUNY Brockport? At Brockport High School? If Lance Armstrong can use performance enhancing drugs, and Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens why not the student who aspires for straight A's?
From the WBUR web site:
A drug prescribed for ADHD is all over college campuses now. We’re looking at the use and abuse of Adderall.
The United States has four percent of the world’s population, and produces 88 percent of the world’s legal stimulant drugs. Including Adderall, the amphetamine-based drug widely prescribed for ADHD, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Impressive numbers.
But visit an American college campus, and really pay attention, and they add up. Lots of young Americans, many with no ADHD, taking Adderall just to focus.
To read. To write. To perform. Now there’s Adderall addiction and suicide in the news, but it’s bigger than that.
