I had a friend try to tell me that taking adderall for school is unethical because I dont have ADD but I am able to study alot better. The way I see it is that if I don’t abuse it, then it cant really be that bad. I know there are side effects but im careful. I understand that by taking it I have an advantage over students but college is for learning and its not like college is a sport.
I don’t know? As a philosopher, I think I should question what I doing, but I also need to worry about my future.
Well… I can’t say that I should judge, I’ve been around the pharmeceutical block through my college years and many good books have been written on speed.
I do get a little nervous about Adderall, I had an ex-girlfriend that went pretty crazy on that stuff.
Probably right about is being unhealthy, I don’t plan on taking for along time. The only problem that I can see is that it might be unfair to other students but should this stop me?
I would be curious to hear some responses to any ethical questions that could be brought up. I believe people should live moral lives but I’m not so sure that this poses any strong ethical questions.
I think the only case it would be unfair is if you were competing in a game where you could not use adderall (like professional sports). I wouldn’t worry about it, many would even say that it puts you at a disadvantage.
