Now, I have no problem with adderall and other such drugs if the person taking them actually has a problem (ADD, ADHD, etc), but it REALLY infuriates me when students take drugs like this just to get ahead. It’s cheating and it’s not fair to those who don’t have access to the drugs, or don’t want to take the drugs. We have to work twice as hard just to stay at the same level.

Another one case of the brilliant liberal logic: If I can’t (or don’t want to) improve myself I should pull down anyone who are not so retarded as me to my own loosy level so I can feel myself ok and normal and keep my self-confidence safe from those who are better than me.
Personally, I’m not a big fan of taking amphetamines off prescription. But I’ll try to give provigil (modafinil) a try when I’ll find a way to buy it (it haven’t passed all the regulations here yet so not available in the drugstores). Or, if I fail, I’ll go for the phenotropil – modern and very effective nootropic that helped me a lot several years ago, though, it’s not cheap at all.
