I'm also surprised that they're taking adderall for an off-label use, when there's not much research supporting that use, and that they're not taking anti-anxiety medication (diazepam, lorazepam, etc (but addictive potential is worrying)) or taking a known placebo such as homeopathic tablets. Why aren't dealers pushing homeopathic pills as "street adderall"?

Because Adderall is cheap, easy to get, amphetamine works, and it's worlds different from things that are not amphetamine (homeopathic pills?!).

In response to something titled "the drought" ?

I would love to see placebo controlled trials for this particular use case (students needing a bit of help to concentrate).
