According to the NCBI, the acute use of Adderall produces a wide range of dose-dependent behavioral changes, including increased arousal or wakefulness, anorexia, hyperactivity, perseverative movements, and, in particular, a state of pleasurable affect, elation, and euphoria, which can lead to the abuse of the drug.
Is Adderall Legal to Get from Kids Who Have ADHD?
God no! Students don’t realize that obtaining Adderall from friends with ADHD is illegal. Getting Adderall from friends with prescriptions, as the vast majority of students do, seems less dangerous and illegal than buying drugs off the street. They are wrong. In fact, they are breaking the law. What many students define as innocent behavior is actually a felony.
Specific laws vary state by state, but if you are caught with illegal prescription drugs (meaning any meds that aren’t prescribed for you), you can be imprisoned. Also, if you are legally taking Adderall to manage ADHD and share your medication with someone else, you are basically considered a dealer. This decision can be punishable by up to seven years in prison.
