[quote=Anonymous]OP here, there were moments in the film when I was watching it and thought, "I want to try it."  Adderall sounds like a miracle drug. They interviewed a few college kids who were all taking Adderall to improve academic performance.  The film made it seem as if this is a widespread thing in colleges today and that most high achieving students use it to get an edge at some point.  That at many colleges there is a black market for pills, especially during crunch times. I had no idea!

There was very little discussion of the long term effects of the drug (other than one person who was hospitalized after a period of heavy use) and that was disappointing though a couple of the people interviewed were no longer using the drug (ex NFL player and a recent college grad who had been on the drug since childhood.)

I have not ever discussed this with my friends an family and have no idea of how many are on Adderall or other psychotropic meds.  Its none of my business, its just interesting as the documentary mentions a 10% ADHD/ADD rate for children in our country.    [/quote]
