Does taking ADD/ADHD drugs allow students to be more alert, focused, attentive and smarter? I mean even if one is perfectly healthy without any medical conditions requiring the use of such drugs?

ADD drugs are just controlled doses of amphetamines. Taking amphetamines is harmful to your health. Studying makes you smarter, not drug use.

these types of drugs are prescribed for people that have attention deficit problems only and taking them if the RX is not made out to you for this problem is not only risky for your health but also against the law. These type of drugs are stimulants but work the opposite in people with the attention deficit problem. If you are stopped and found to have these drugs on your person without the RX being in your name it could end up with a stay in jail.

well not really, the side effects make people more hyper who dont need them a lot of times... also because they are stimulants people tend to crash after takin ghtem, so it would make them bitter, short strung and moody until they took more medicine
