I found myself surprised yesterday reading the thread about Harvard[1] when 2 people brought up how much Adderall is abused there, how easy it is to acquire, etc.

Can you remark on exactly how much medicine otherwise prescribed for ADHD is abused by people in the valley? Is it 1 out of every 10 employee at Google, for example? Is it mostly concentrated in startup settings?

Might not have very good data from self-reporting, especially in the workplace.
