If you believe spokespeople from Cambridge University or the University of Pennsylvania, there is no ethical problem in using Ritalin or Adderall as stimulants: Both schools would have you believe it is perfectly natural to take these drugs and really no different than having a hearing aid or an artificial leg. I haven’t seen any comments from either school about the potential for Adderall addiction or the needs for drug rehab.

If you can use Adderall the same way you use an artificial limb, why not also use steroids to hit more fast balls or gain more strength for football? Here is your perfect drug cocktail: steroids for strength, OxyContin to numb pain, Xanax to get rid of butterflies in high pressure situations and, of course, Adderall  to focus. If you really believe drug rehab is a stepping stone to greatness, you should ignore the warnings, call the staff at either college and find out how to get started.

If you think these ideas are far fetched, take a look at the headlines - that’s exactly what you’ll find. And it’s happening in high schools and colleges all across the country.

How big a deal is it, really? Read Olga Campus’s story about Faye Crossett and her daughter, Tracy. Tracy became addicted to Adderall, which she used as a study aid. Faye didn’t understand the problems Adderall could cause. Who can blame her? A major drug company that’s selling highly addictive drugs is doing whatever it can to hide the facts. Sadly, the Adderall led to heroin for Tracy and she died at age 17.

If you know someone who is using Adderall or are abusing any drug, help them stop or get them into a drug rehab program.
