Adderall = Cheating?

[puddlemonkey]

Absolutely! I took one for the first time less than a week ago and I couldn't believe how much easier it was to focus and concentrate. I would have done so much better in school had I had access to this stuff. Forget steroids in baseball, this should be what everyone is upset about. If baseball players are punished and shunned by the Hall of Fame for using performance enhancing drugs, why do students get a pass on it? We take medals away from olympians when they are caught trying to get an edge on the competition. Are we not teaching our kids at a young age cheating is ok? I want a level playing field, I demand degrees be stripped from those who used performance enhancing drugs in school.

It's hard for some people to hit a slider, doesn't mean they should get a free pass on using HGH and making millions more for doing so while many others have to do it without PEDs (performance enhancing drugs) and make the league minimum because they struggle to maintain a .260 batting average.

Baseball players all take stims to keep them focused while hitting - it is just not illegal. It is called batting naked if you are not on something.

For people who really have focus and concentration problems all it's doing is bringing them up to the rest of the field. Kids who genuinely have ADD (as opposed to disciplinary problems or reactions to food additives, for example) actually have measurably less blood flow to their frontal lobes.

There are professionals who are of the opinion that ADD and ADHD are actually beneficial traits from an evolutionary standpoint, enabling the person to be more aware of their surroundings, be aware of multiple things going on simultaneously. However, just because running down prey and running away from predators has been phased out and we now prefer our young to sit quietly at a desk and read, doesn't mean those genes just turn off.

how r u comparing a competitive sport to gaining knowledge anyway??? I guess you could argue that the degree was easier but wtf if im learning more due to controlling my inability to focus then why not?
