Kids Using Drugs To Study

December 1, 2004 | Issue 40•48

Studies show that more and more college students are abusing prescription ADHD drugs like Adderall and Ritalin to help them study. What do you think?

Asian Man

Ed Wills,
Driver
"Slippage in grades is a sure sign your child may not be on drugs."

Black Man

Jeffrey Stuart,
Surgeon
"These drugs help them study? Wow. Turns out drugs aren't cool after all."

Young Woman

Danielle Carlson,
Novelist
"Taking Ritalin to study is very dangerous. If you let your focus drift, you'll spend the night scrubbing your telephone."

Young Man

Scott Wolman,
Cashier
"It turns out the main ingredient in Adderall is dextroamphetamine. So all these years, long-haul truckers have been a vast, untapped intellectual resource?"

Old Man

Stephen Underhill,
Lawyer
"Hell, I don't blame them. Back in law school, I had to take all kinds of drugs just to be able to appreciate art and music."

Old Woman

Dana Williams,
Personal Shopper
"When I was a kid, we didn't have drugs to help us study. If we wanted to get good grades, we had no choice but to stop getting drunk."
