If so, Is it a prescription drug? What are the effects on a person if they do not need it? Just curious and concerned about someone.

"Recently, stimulant drugs like Adderall and Ritalin have become popular as either recreational drugs or “speed” for people who like to stay awake all night and party or for late night cram sessions. Adderall is a stimulant drug like other stimulant drugs such as cocaine, amphetamines, methamphetamines, and caffeine. When taken recreationally, Adderall is sometimes crushed and snorted through the nostrils or taken orally. Amphetamines like Adderall have a high potential for abuse. Taking amphetamines for long periods of time may lead to drug addiction. Misuse of Adderall may cause sudden death and heart attacks or other serious heart problems.

the street value for it in my hometown is $1/mg and if dispensed to anyone without a prescription, the seller can be thrown in jail and pay hefty fines and the buyer can also find themselves in legal trouble.

Adderal is a prescription drug for treatment of adhd. it won't help the person unless they have adhd. you will just get side effects: potential weight loss, stomach aches, major head aches, and other issues. also, it reacts with certain foods and other medications, and it was pulled off the market in canada for sudden death. be careful.

It's for ADHD. If a person doesn't need it, it's kinda like speed. Makes your heart race and sends adrenaline racing through your system. You can check WEBMd or Yahoo Health for a complete listing on the drug.
