[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's really only a matter of time before a paper like the NYTimes does a big exposé on the overuse of Adderall and people start getting exposed.

If you've got a legit disorder, fine. But it's being abused the way competitive athletes use performance-enhancing drugs and steroids.[/quote]

As they say in the film, competitive athletes are also using stimulants like Adderall for performance-enhancement. It's hard to decide whether it's "legit" or not, but in any case, there are effects that spill over into other parts of playing/training though. As such, I don't think it should be allowed. It's impossible to give Person A "just" enough of an edge that they're level with the rest of the playing field (so to speak), since everyone is at different levels in different ways anyway, and so the end result is that the ones on Adderall get an advantage. It's not like they're using it to get through elementary school. Being a professional athlete isn't a right that we all have. There are rules against performance-enhancing drugs for a reason, and they should be observed by everyone.[/quote]
