It appears that Adderall is the drug of choice for some Chapel Hill/Carrboro teenagers. Where are the parents? Here’s hoping they delve into the school system’s behavior survey to find out what their kids are exposed to.
Chapel Hill police Lt. Jabe Hunter said local adolescents are more often caught with Adderall than other prescription drugs, such as painkillers like Vicodin.
Although the narcotics division hasn’t arrested a lot of adolescents for prescription drug abuse, they are still mindful of the issue, said Capt. Danny Lloyd.
Lloyd said easy accessibility of these drugs is an issue for police.
“Adderall was passed around like candy before tests, exams and the SAT,” Laurie Janzen, who also attended East Chapel Hill High School, said in a Facebook message. “The majority of my friends have bought or sold Adderall for these purposes.”
