Unfortunatly many of these comments are proof of the REAL problem : morality (or lack thereof) We are either a country that abides by ethics, morals, and laws. Or, we do whatever it takes to get to the top...including the purchase of illegal drugs. You that try to justify your "study aids" are disillusioned and will have an even tougher time in the real world one day. Focus on self-discipline and time management while education is your "job"!! You better learn to deal with the competition and be thankful you do not have a condition or handicap requiring medication. Comments about Adderall and other prescription medications trivializes (and is disrespectful of) patients that need them. The way to make changes in our society is through education, not making your own rules. Cheating is doing something wrong and illegal. Our society has moral laws. When you try to justify breaking them for your own gain, you will end up paying. (one way or the other!) I completed 10 years (college,graduate, doctorate) without the "aids" and fortunately without medical issues. And, the competition was tremedous! So guys, grow up before it is too late!
