Is Adderall Use Fair?
Last week's New Yorker has a great story on the use of Adderall, Ritalin, and Provigil for non-prescription purposes.
Adderall
Though it's not specifically focused on colleges, the piece relies on reports of Adderall usage from students at an elite university (ie. Harvard).
The piece also touches on both the medical and ethical issues behind these drugs.
The drugs do seem to work for most people, whether or not that's due to a placebo effect. But studies show that these drugs work better for people with average abilities at the tasks tested (recall, etc),
than those with high abilities to begin with. The article mentions dependency as a primary safety concern.
But there are greater, cultural and ethical concerns.
First, there's an economic inequality. Right now, the average non-prescription Adderall user is a white male at a Northeastern college who's in a frat.
No surprise there.
As they use these drugs, will others suffer a disadvantage?
Second, there's the concern that using "mind-enhancing" drugs may set a higher standard for productivity in the same way that plastic surgery sets a higher standard for beauty.
A lot of people will say this is good for society, but I'm not sure if a standard of more stress that forces us to take on more than we can handle is a good thing.
