Summary
For some time, college students across the U.S. and on the East Coast of Canada have been turning to the drugs Ritalin and Dexedrine to help them stay awake for all night study sessions. Now, the trend has made its way west to British Columbia. Sales of the drugs in Victoria have increased, and one student says they are a must for anyone hoping to keep a scholarship or get into graduate school.

Details
- A year ago, David Green, a student at Harvard University, famously told the Washington Post: "In all honesty, I haven't written a paper without Ritalin since my junior year in high school."
- Chris Wren is a 19-year-old second-year student at UVic.
- He was diagnosed with ADHD halfway through Grade 11 and has been taking prescription Dexedrine (dextroamphetamine) ever since.
- The night before the exam, he took one pill, stayed up all night, and read the entire textbook and study guide.
- Wren says the reason Ritalin and Dexedrine requests are on the rise is that the drugs work--and for everyone.
- After his experience with the economics exam, Wren realized that with Dexedrine, "I could focus better than people without ADHD who don't have prescriptions.
- Excessive use of stimulants like Ritalin, Dexedrine, and even coffee comes as no surprise to Cpl.
- Rintoul says the extreme anxiety caused by stimulants--including cocaine, meth, and Ritalin--can lead to users becoming twitchy, aggressive, paranoid, and even violent.
