ADD meds can give a non-ADD person an advantage...in indirect ways. Stimulant medications are similar to, but more potent, than caffiene. Like people who take No-Doz or drink a 2 liter of Mountain Dew to pull all-nighters, people can also use ADD medication the same way. Especially if they snort it.
