Default 'Smart Drug' Modafinil Risks Student Health

[Doctors have warned that increasing
numbers of teenagers are using the
prescription-only medicine modafinil
to stay awake and alert for long periods of time.
The drug is designed to combat
the sleeping disorder narcolepsy.

However, research shows
it is available to anyone from
dozens of online retailers.
Anecdotal evidence suggests there
is a black market at universities,
including Oxford and Cambridge,
with students selling it to each other
for around £2 a pill.]

Online sellers
busy posting them to students at Exam times.

Crystal meth?
Wouldn't that keep them 'high' rather than just 'awake'?
