    Um Adderall is not less useful than coffee for non-ADHD peeps.

    Edit: reading other comments, I see what you mean. For dementia/clarity, no, but just wakefulness, yes it does something.

      As far as I know, Adderall for people without ADHD induces the self-perception of higher performance, yet increase in performance isn’t actually statistically noticeable, so it might be useful for someone who feels emotionally stuck (afraid of failing, tired), but not for someone who does not have the capacity to do well, much like caffeine only gives you the self-perception that you’re less tired than you actually are.

        i dunno dude, one time I got a gram of basement crank and was excited to try it, so I horked a rail right before band practice. our lead singer/guitarist was like “yo your drumming is so tight today, youre on fire!” and I was like “speed!”

        I mean, fighter pilots are given them to stay sharp on long missions. You think that’s because they’re emotionally stuck?

          Every fighter pilot I’ve ever dated was emotionally stuck. Or “stalled” as so many of them insisted on calling it.

            That’s the military in general. It’s a frat house we never actually grow out of.
