We hear about an anonymous girl who tells that the first time she took those “study pills” was in her Freshmen year. She tells that when she took the pill, she was only concentrating on her homework. – Not the TV, nor the music. She would just be completely channeled into what I was doing. Another anonymous person with ADHD tells how he gave his friends the pills just because he didn’t really want to charge them for anything that he was not even taking he himself.

The writer, Matt Lamkin, argues in his essay, A Ban on Brain-Boosting Drugs is not the Answer, that the use of brain enhancing drugs on college campuses is the product of a society that promotes competition in all aspects of life. The purpose of this essay is to propose that colleges and society stop putting an emphasis on test scores and start to promote a better educational experience, through adding the use of brain-boosting drugs to the honor code, instead of banning them all together. Lamkin writes this essay for universities who are looking to ban brain-boosting drugs, so that they may see the potential benefits of only placing it in the honor code so that students can learn to value the importance of not using these drugs. Matt Lamkin’s essay is a well-written argument, in that he uses a rhetorical question and the appeal to emotion to keep the reader enthused in his essay as well as to further enhance his argument.

The results of my research will just identify the problem and make known the extent of Adderall and stimulant abuse. Future research will be needed in three distinct directions in order to elicit a change in policies. The directions for future research are: (1) the effectiveness of stimulants on individuals without ADHD; (2) the long-term health effects of stimulant abuse in non-ADHD users; and (3) mechanisms to easily test for Adderall use in students. Research in the first field will determine if Adderall abusers are truly gaining an academic advantage over their non-abusing peers. If it is found that they are gaining an academic advantage, universities will be forced to make a change in order to preserve equality.
This study took place among people diagnosed with ADHD and take medication for it, and those who don’t have ADHD and take ADHD meds. The study shows that substance abuse does start more likely in older kids. Kids who were more likely to abuse drugs later on were reported to be 8 to 12 years old compared to those who are 6 or 7. Joseph Biderman, MD, professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School said, “...[stimulant] treatment does not increase the risk of substance abuse in late adolescence and early adulthood.” The study also showed of those with ADHD who were treated at a younger age, 27% of them abused drugs by their mid-20s.
Final examinations will soon be taking place on college campuses across the United States, and on these campuses many students will resort to taking amphetamines in an effort to achieve the grades they desire.

Adderall, nicknamed Addy, is probably the most prominent, and is heavily relied on by students that want to speed through their remaining assignments.

The school’s policies and procedures in regards to illegal drug use on campus have not been updated since 1970, when there was a more relaxed perspective of drug use. In 1970, cocaine was perceived as being used by the wealthy and the users and dealers were a lot younger (Abadinsky, 2014). This school’s policies and procedures haven’t been revised since “crack” was created in 1980 (Abadinsky, 2014).

Adderall makes an all-nighter easier to pull and assignments easier to complete. What student wouldn’t accept a little extra focus and concentration? However, is this study method ethical? Students today are overly exerted and stressed out so they turn to Adderall and other drugs like it for relief, but something should be done to avoid this illegal use of the drug and help students in more practical ways. Much is expected of today’s school attendees.
