Effects of Adderall
Effects of Adderall
Hypothesis:
I hypothesize that taking adderall can be harmful to your body in the long run and can be even worse when taken if not needed. I will research what this drug does to your brain and body, and if it has any long term effects. I will also observe and talk to users of this drug and ask them if it makes a difference in their everyday life. And lastly, I will interview two teachers in my school that are very educated on these drugs and ask them their opinions on adderall and the effects it has on their health.
