It is kinda amazing seeing a perfectly normal person just go down the toilet off of a drug that isn't hard to get (just going into the doctor's office and say, "I need to concentrate better...").

Any drug can be a dangerous drug in the hands of the wrong person, Lester. Someone I know personally is addicted to everything. Food, alcohol, weed, salvia, adderall (he liked to rail it), cocaine, oxycontin (he liked to rail that too), and then on to heroine and methadone. He had been locked up, he associated with people who robbed him of expensive possessions, he totaled his BMW 330ci while high, he ruined his family's successful business. Everything he consumed, he did to an extreme degree. Every decision he made, he fucked up. He was forced into Narcotics Anonymous and after each session he goes home and shoots methadone and rails oxycontin with the guys he met in the program. He's always in a major fog, so much you can't even have a conversation with him... kinda similar to trying to talk to your wife or girlfriend while she's talking in her sleep. But... when you ask him if he's high, says he's been clean for a long time.
With the exception of maybe black tar heroine, none of these things will hurt you in moderation. Of course, it all comes down to the individual...
I have had an adderall prescription for several years now and it enhances my ability to work efficiently. I've never experienced any negative or addictive effects.
