Ashley, a College student is interviewed by Dr. Charles Shinaver about prescription drug abuse at college. Is Adderall Abuse or the Abuse of other ADHD Drugs on College Campuses a Big Deal? Students ask ADHD Students all the time to sell or give their ADHD drugs to other students. The line between use and abuse is blurry, doctors prescribe them. Faking ADHD is easy. Coke, Dr. Pepper, coffee, tea, energy drinks, ADHD meds, where is the line? Pick me ups vs. Lock me ups.
In my experience, even if you are diagnosed with ADHD (which was way, way longer and harder than what the woman in the video said [required several sessions with a psychiatrist, several long questioners that you, your parents, and your teachers fill out, ect.]), psychiatrists will almost always they will start you on Strattera (a non-stimulant) and do that for over 6 months before they will even consider a stimulant.

@JenkemBOMBS Well, that's YOUR dogma, not mine. So, don't drag me into somthing that I don't believe in. And if you think that I'm gonnna offended by you by calling me a retard..., I REALLY don't care what you say about me. Because I've ENDURED it throughout my childhood from all the of times that I've been relentlessly harassed by others because of my race and gender. Not to mention the fact that I had an introverted personality. You wouldn't FATHOM the pain that I had felt since then!!

How can you explain that EVERY SCIENTIST AND MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL in Canada and many other countries denies that ADD/ADHD exists?
Are you telling those SCIENTISTS, DOCTORS, AND MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS are wrong, because there all in a agreement that ADD/ADHD is not real?
Pharma companies and "psychologists" just renamed certain personality traits and natural behaviors into a "disease" so they could gain profit by selling amphetamines. FUCKING RETARD IT ISN'T REAL.

@JenkemBOMBS [Brookland New Yorker accent]: Okay, look; FIRST off, I ain't no drug addict; that's for retards like you. SECOND, if ADHD DIDN'T exsist, then how do you explain the SCIENTISTS & DOCTORS who DISCOVERED ADHD and made medications FOR ADHD? Can you answer me that? Didn't think so. Unless you're eather a scientist, a doctor, a professional, or an expert on disorders and diseases, keep your opinons to yourself.

Your not better then anyone else who uses amphetamines. You can't possibly think because you fabricated a fictional disease, that its ok for you to use amphetamines, and anyone else that uses amphetamines is a idiot/deviant?
If you use amphetamines everyday, even if you don't get intoxicated in anyway. Then your a drug addict.
How im I a bad guy for using amphetamines, and your not? You fucking gullible douchebag, you think your personality is a "mental illness".

@JenkemBOMBS SHUT THE FUCK UP!!! YOUR NOT ME, AND STOP TALKING LIKE YOU KNOW ME; YOU FUCKIN' DON'T, YOU GOD-DAMN PIT-FUCKER!!! And I KNOW it's not a disease, Captain Obvious!! I'm not stupid. And I'm not a fuckin' drug addict like some retards I know *looks at you*. Plus, I never asked for your comments or remarks. If you don't have anything inteligent to say, don't fuckin' say it at all, dumbass. It's called common sense, use it!!

Your FUCKING RETARDED because ADHD/ADD don't even exist. There fictional mental illnesses fabricated by pharmaceutical companies to successfully indoctrinate idiots like you into thinking that there personality traits and emotions are a "disease.
O, im sorry, you cant focus on things because your a incompetent moron, and your hyper? THATS NOT A DISEASE.
So you can use amphetamines because you have a FAKE MADE UP "DISEASE", and everyone else who uses amp is a idiot? Fuck you.

Of course it's a big deal! They shouldn't be asking their ADHD peers to sell their meds. Why SHOULD their peers sell their meds? Trust me, I have ADHD and ADD myself, and bull shit like this shouldn't happen because it FUCKING RETARTED!!!
