Limitless

    "Limitless is basically about a guy who takes a huge dose of adderall."   Yup, I had the same thought.  And quite frankly after experiencing it for myself, I still stick to my previously stated opinion.  I just pulled my official all nighter.  I've stayed up till 6 in the morning, but I'll always get at least like an hours sleep.  This is the first night that I went through two full days.

     I can see why college kids are dying to get their hands on some, it is quite literally a wonder drug.  It really helped me, and kept my focus.  It also helps to motivate, like a lot.  So let's talk about the drug scene on campus, well specifically adderall.  It's seriously one of the easiest drugs to get your hands on illegally.  Right between alcohol and weed.  Everyone and their mother has a prescription for adderall.  Most of these kids don't need it, at least in my and any good psychiatrist's opinon, but I'm not going to address the Rx generation.  I have friends who sell 20 mg XR for $8 a pill and 2.5 mg IR for $3.  Those prices are for if you are a friend of theirs, if not, then add a couple more dollars.  When finals week comes around, prices sky rocket, why? Because they can get away with it.  Even people who have never taken it, are just itching to get a couple pills to help them ace their final.  Just because you take this little pill doesn't mean that you're gonna be a straight A student.  It just helps a bit, "mother's little helper."

I know people who have given a discount because of the sheer quantity some people were buying.  I also know that when you see an athlete who seems to have it all together... they're getting a little extra help, just not in the form of steroids.  

     Are these accusations true? Absolutely.  Are they rather ridiculous, yes absolutely.  If kids are feeling the pressure to do that well in college that they have to commit illegal acts, you know something is wrong with our system.

These are not candy, please don't treat them as such
