College Students Take ADHD Drugs For Better Grades

(CNN) -- Jared Gabay is like many other college students. When he has a big test coming up, he turns to what's called a "study drug" for a little extra boost.

"I'm more driven. I don't focus on anything else," the Auburn University senior says about taking the drugs. "If I have a paper, that's all I'm doing. No distractions, no socializing, just on with it."

We need to look at the potential long-term dangers of these medications. Also, where are the students getting the drugs so easily, and why is this allowed to happen? My kids have ADHD and I have to go to the doctor's office and physically pick up the prescriptions each month. Illegal drugs are still illegal drugs - the fact that they are prescription doesn't make them any safer.

Supply and demand, Megan. It CANNOT be impugned, overridden, legislated away, or contradicted. It IS what drives the sale of EVERYTHING. Legal or not.....
