> I think the parent post is more likely alluding to the abuse of the medication, particularly in higher learning institutions.

It's kind of weird that people are calling this "abuse" when it's apparently using the drug in the same context and dosage as it's prescribed therapeutically, plausibly by people who actually have ADHD but don't have the time or insurance to get a prescription.

It's an interesting case study in what would happen if it was more widely available in a pharmaceutical form with a known dose and purity. What percentage of these college students are actually getting addicted to amphetamine vs. just taking a therapeutic dose here and there?
