Prescription Drugs

Contrary to what you may have heard, taking stimulants such as Adderall when you do not have a relevant medical diagnosis does not help you focus and study better.

Prevention and Response

Opioid Overdose

Street-purchased drugs, including study drugs or THC products, can pose serious health risks, as they may be laced with fentanyl, a highly lethal opioid. It’s important to be aware of the risks and know how to respond if encountering someone experiencing an overdose.
