The Study Drug Song (Original Song)

This song was offline for several months pending my matriculation to pharmacy school. I'm glad to feel comfortable putting it back on again. Enjoy! :)

I had a lot of fun goofing off while recording this song. I realize that this isn't an accurate portrayal of the side effects of any particular drug, but this is a music video, not a documentary.

Sorry there hasn't been a song in a while. This is last week's song, but I wasn't able to upload it because I have slow internet at home. I'm not bothering to upload the song from two weeks ago because it was about the holidays. This week's song is still coming.

Don't be confused about the meaning of this song. I am very strongly against the use of performance-enhancing drugs. I wrote this song bring attention to an ever growing problem, not to promote college substance abuse.

One particular study set the rate of performance-enhancing use of three particular prescription drugs at about 7% nationally among college students. However, John Hopkins University stated in 2002 that that number might actually be as high as 20%.

The physical downsides to psycostimulant abuse are bad on their own, and include loss of sleep, inability to eat, nasty crashes, and increased risk of heart attack and stroke. However, what really bothers me about this problem are the social implications. First, this is an opportunity for those who already have money to buy more "brain power", which they can then use to make more money. This problem has the potential to be the end of equal opportunity, the ultimate expression of "It takes money to make money." Second, though the individual becomes more productive when on psycostimulants, society as a whole may become less productive. This comes as a result of psycostimulants' oft-reported effect of reducing the ability to think creatively.

Also non-negligible is the incidence of caffeine's use as a performance-enhancing drug on college campuses. Even in moderate doses, caffeine exaggerates the body's normal stress response, so that people taking caffeine to boost their performance while under stress experience more of the negative effects of stress than they would otherwise experience. This comes in addition to any other potential negative effects that are common to caffeine.

The names Adderall, Ritalin, and No Doze are properties of their respective owners. Shame on them for not doing something about this drug abuse epidemic.

If anyone can give me the correct answers to the quiz I wrote for this video, I'll give them a shout-out. (The right answer is probably but not necessarily one of the options listed on the quiz.)

-----

No bad days in Concentrateville
Ritalin and Adderall still
Keep us going, our blood flowing
Though we've not slept in four weeks, No!

Always texting, look-our-besting
Party-hopping, boozing, shopping
To find time for academics
We need drugs to push our limits

This is how it is when we all go to college
Not allowed one off day so we medicate our minds away
Have another pill, Yeah, Drugs are the right answer
This is how it is when we all go to college

Feeling tired? Take a No Doze
Your eyes won't be able to close
For at least 45 minutes
You could take a test in that time

Seven-thirty labs are killer
To make it through I take a pill or two
I don't remember much
But I was there so I get credit

This is how it is when we all go to college
Not allowed one off day so we medicate our minds away
Have another pill, Yeah, Drugs are every answer
This is how it is when we all go to college

I need three docs for my perscriptions
My insurance company's suspicious
So I started paying cash
But you know money runs out fast

I wonder what the poor will do
They can't get drugs like me and you
I guess they're all just gunna die
But I don't care because I'm high

This is how it is when we all go to college
Not allowed one off day so we medicate our minds away
Have another pill, Yeah, Drugs are the right answer
This is how it is when we all go to college

Sometimes I'd like to stop and see what life would be like if
I could get off my medication and build relationships
But then I realize that I'm having fun and making good grades too
And I decide I like my drugs better than I like you

This is how it is when we all go to college
Not allowed one off day so we medicate our minds away
Have another pill, Yeah, Drugs are every answer
This is how it is when we all go to college
This is how it is when we all go to college
This is how it is when we all go to college

I didn't know psycho-stimulants reduce your ability to think creatively. That seems counter intuitive. It's interesting though. Good to know. And as a note, I loved this song up until I read the fact that you're actually against it. I still like it, but considering the fact that I recently started using nodoz because I thought it would help me get caught up on my school work, I sort of felt like this was a "shame on you" to me for making that choice. It's a good song though still.
