There are lots of students in school that used aderol to help them focus and study. Something about that bothers me.

debbyski, are they getting better grades than you (or, that is, than non-users?

Actually both my daughters told me about this in their peer group papadavid. And yes, those individuals did get better grades.

I agree.

Their performance isn't improved, it is enhanced by the drug.While it may not always be the case, it is likely that a dependence on the drug will develop, where the same results are not possible without it. The danger is not so much that the drugs will be used as crutches, but that they will be given the same status as vitamins, having to be taken for someone to operate effectively in the position their amplified talent has gained them.
