That is exactly how I look at it. The dude taking pain pills is not going to be on top of his game. Easy win.
The 'little secret' at Princeton was female students were buying Adderall from others or doctor shopping to get their own prescriptions. I had no idea until my gf told me about it. Seems it's a huge thing with Asian female students.
My roommates used to take it study for exams. They were wired for maybe 24-36 hours. Then would sleep for almost 2 days except to eat, piss, etc.Â
I took it once before drinking, felt like I could drink 60 beers... never again after that. Don't like that feeling.
Yup. The temporary gains are worth it for some.

Whatâ€s Adderall even for, some ADD spin-off?  I remember in the 90s the drug of choice to deball young boys was Ritalin.  Is this the same type of *****?

That number has to be staggering. Doing drugs and dying from it and doing something illegal is just a part of the total number. Don't' do drugs!
We probably have decent figures on deaths due to illegal activities. I'd guess the MJ expense numbers are guesses based on inferences based on some weird surveys.
"We" obviously have lost this "war". There is no way to "control" illegal drug use and it enriches the Drug Kings obviously. I don't see the point. Look at the Portugal experience and adapt that one.
We have already functionally decriminalized drug usage. How did that work out?

ADHD. Don't take it.
I remember when it was used for narcolepsy. A childhood friend's aunt had it.

Perhaps our greatest problem is wanting quick and easy solutions to problems. Need a vacation? No problem, put it on your credit card. Need a new car? Lease it.
Need a government that has low taxes AND high spending? No problem, borrow borrow borrow.
Need to lose weight? Buy this fancy diet plan and take these pills and lounge around watching TV 7 hours a day.
Need to fill better about yourself? Take these pills and post on FB all your issues.
Need to have a great time? Inject this liquid into your body and feel groovy.

I tend to agree. We as a society was an easy solution and fix for any problem that might arise. I should probably say not society but the current millennials.
