FOX 5/Atlanta: Some students call them smart pills or brain steroids. Adderall and Ritalin are legal stimulants prescribed for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder -- ADHD -- in ever greater numbers. For years now, students who don't have that problem have been taking the drugs for a competitive edge. But the problem is growing. Russ Spencer reports.
The report includes interviews with Georgia Tech student John Howard, Lieutenant Mike Hunsiger, students Eric Worrell and Mary Margaret Powers, UGA drug counselor Mike Friedline and psychiatrist Dr. Richard Winer.

I havent been on a single medication that I myself havent asked to be on. I dont "snort" my medications as you do. Yes I need medication to work. As for money? It costs me $2 a month. If swallowing a pill a day and paying $2 a month allows me to be normal, so be it.
I snorted ritalin my nephew gave me a few years ago, got me high as hell, What I am saying is there pushing these DRUGS on kids for profit, so now you have to rely on a drug to work? that is our society, big pharma profits. My nephew is half retarded from the coctail of psychiatric pills he use to be on, he was on 7 different pills a day, now he is down to 2, but he is still fucked in the head for life because of all that.
@zaczattack When deciding whether or not to use a medication (ANY medication), a patient should talk with their doctor about the risks and benefits of taking the medication. ONLY when the benefits outweigh the risks should a patient choose to take a medication.
@LavaMountainKat so you have ADD or ADHD and have tried Ritalin/Adderall and have had them not work and give nothing but side effects? no? good cause your opinion is useless. I use Ritalin/Adderall and have ZERO side effects. I went from a 60% average in hs without treatment to a 95% in college with treatment (treatment being Ritalin/Adderall). The side effects you read are only POSSIBLE side effects, doesnt mean your going to get them or ANY if at all.
They push propaganda like Weed is bad and if you want to do drugs you can only take there pills like Ritalin which has been proven to have many bad health effects, thats how big pharma works, that is the only reason why drugs are illegal, so they could have profit. So by taking there drugs your conforming to there system of lies and deceit.
