I am a baby-boomer. I thought 'drug problem' meant heroin and the opioid epidemic. This film made me aware of another epidemic which is the use of Adderall, Ritalin, and other amphetamines. And this film provides lots and lots of anecdotal accounts of people using them in college and the business world. It describes the effects, the culture, the access, and the side effects. It gives you a very good perspective from the viewpoint of the person using amphetamines. My criticism is that I don't think it gave enough attention to the dark side: dependency, addiction, and long-term side effects. It almost made it sound attractive. I think that is very dangerous and a bit irresponsible.
