Amphetamine use in America's workforce
I think this is a little bit sensationalized at the very least.  This excerpt in particular caught me off guard.<p>"Abuse by young professionals is distressingly common—Wall Street traders, software engineers, dentists, nurses, and lawyers, all cracked out of their minds trying to keep up with the competition."<p>Yes, I was diagnosed with ADHD as a child, and yes I have an Adderall prescription.  But I'd hardly call myself cracked out on drugs.  I think the biggest issue is when people self-diagnose and self-medicate because they are more likely to take dosages that aren't suited for themselves, but that issue exists for many prescription drugs.  This piece seems heavily biased towards scare tactics, so I am not inclined to take it terribly seriously.
