Adderall abuse?

<p>I was reading another forum I post at and came across Want</a> your diploma? Pee in this cup - Rudius Media Message Board</p>

<p>I thought it was a pretty interesting read. It pretty much boiled down to whether Adderall gives students an unfair advantage, similar to how athletes use anabolic steroids. </p>

<p>I wonder how prevalent this is at UCLA</p>

<p>i know a lot of people who used it at UCLA.</p>

<p>One claimed he wrote a very good 20 page paper in just a few hours.</p>

<p>It was on FOX 11 News a while back… and their story included interviews of a couple of UCLA students.</p>

<p>Daily Bruin also covered it and ~20% college students have done it.</p>

<p>Only 20%? I thought it would be higher than that. Were they talking about people who’ve done it once or twice or people who use it on a regular basis?</p>

<p>wow, I always knew this kind of thing happened but I never put 2+2 together and realized this will be happening when I get to UCLA. It will be interesting to see. I can’t say I absolutely wouldn’t use it, as I don’t have any moral stance against drugs, but I’m sure if I did I’d probably have the same experience as this guy who posted in that thread - </p>

<p>Luckily, I’m usually OK with getting a B. So if getting Bs is the result of living healthy, I’ll skip using… but I know how it feels to be under a lot of pressure…</p>

<p>Very interesting.</p>

<p>It happens all over, not just at UCLA. It will be a choice you make, just like the choices you have had to make all your lives. The people who use drugs to get an advantage at some point will be paying a price, it is only a temporary fix.</p>

<p>I’ve heard it’s particularly prevalent at UCLA. Daily Bruin’s Prime ran a feature on it, making it sound pretty ubiquitous. But it might just be exaggerated of something.</p>

<p>god, about 90% of people i know use it regularly. i’ve never though.</p>

<p>

How is this possible?</p>
