A few Adderall coupled with a Viagra and you're bringing your "A" game to the bedroom...is that cheating?

it isn't cheating but I always felt like I was cause I'd trade my adderall for herb in high school.

then when I got to college, I had to work a lot to help pay my tuition. I used it more for work than school and ended up doing alright with that.

Adderall is a controlled substance so if you don't have a Rx for it then you may be, breakin the law, breakin the law.

This is fascinating though: ask some college students if Lance Armstrong is a cheater. They'll tell you 'hell yes, he embarrassed our country by cheating to win those bike races.' Ask them if they take Adderall without Rx and they say yes. Ask them if that's cheating. 'No it's not cheating. It's for my grades. If I don't get an A on this test I won't get into xyz program.'

Ahhhhhh, ethics. She's a slippery one.

I was always very spaced out in high school and was lucky enough to keep up good grades without trying.

Knew I would need to try in college so I got a prescription before I started. Only lasted a couple weeks on it. Couldn't stand the side effects and the thought of growing a dependency on that garbage.

I lucked out picking the right major and actually being interested in what I was learning. And that's all it really boils down to in my opinion, if you're struggling in school it's probably because you're studying the wrong field.

It's cheating at life. Too weak minded to focus on more than 3 sentences at a time.

Need drug to do that.

This. It's a performance enhancing drug. If you need to use it, you are weak.

A scheduled stimulant vs an OTC NSAID?, I do not see the relation?

Would you consider thinks like energy drinks and coffee cheating?


Those aren't pharmaceutical-grade methamphetamines. Caffeine pales in comparison in terms of cognition-enhancement.
