There's a reason tech workers and college students in demanding degrees are all on Adderall (aka amphetamines).

This is likely largely untrue, and many, if they are, are not getting what they think they are.

If you know someone who takes Adderall without a prescription, encourage them to stop. Leave it for people who need it.

A number of clinical trials have shown improved academic and occupational cognitive performance using psychostimulants in therapeutic doses. This includes improved inhibitory control, memory recall, and awakefulness. Some studies have even shown a measurable (4-5 points) increase in performance when taking an IQ test.
