San Diego Drug Offense Lawyer Providing Aggressive Defense
Adderall is a
prescription drug that is given to individuals who have attention deficit hyperactivity
disorder, or ADHD. It is a combination of dextroamphetamine and amphetamine,
which makes it a central nervous system stimulant, according to the
National Institutes of Health.
While Adderall is meant to be for people with ADHD, there are reports of
growing levels of abuse of this drug, especially among college students
and other young adults. There are many people who are arrested for allegations
that they illegally possessed, purchased or sold Adderall.

Adderall Abuse Information
For a person who has ADHD, Adderall actually calms the individual and allows
him or her to be more focused. Adderall is also sometimes used to treat
people who struggle with narcolepsy. Because of the drug's effects, it
has been discovered that many college students use it illicitly to help
them stay awake and cram. In fact, research has shown that among the 18-34
age group, emergency room visits stemming from non-medical use of stimulant
drugs (including Adderall) has grown by more than 300 percent over a period
of six years, according to
CBS News.
Consequences Under California Law
Adderall is a Schedule II controlled substance that falls into the stimulants
category. When individuals are accused of having Adderall without a valid
prescription and it appears to be for their personal use, they can end
up facing
possession charges. Having a large amount of the drug can potentially lead to charges
of possession with intent to sell, or even trafficking. Others may face
charges for actual
distribution, such as for an alleged delivery or
sale.
Furthermore, there are physicians who are arrested and charged for allegedly
prescribing Adderall and other drugs to patients who do not actually have
a medical need for them (a practice that falls into the category of
prescription fraud).

Amazing results! I highly recommend Michael Kern!!
“Amazing results! I highly recommend Michael Kern!! This man made me feel comfortable from the very beginning. He is very communicative, extremely thorough, consistent, relentless, and has a solid rapport with the courts. I have a long felony criminal history, and came to Michael with 12 new felony charges, accompanied by 3 misdemeanors. Before meeting Michael, I was feeling defeated by the odds being stacked against me. But he gave me hope, fought hard for my freedom, and got me the exact outcome I came to him hoping to leave with. I'm a 3rd striker, and Michael was able to get my strikes struck, and get me probation! Me and my family are so grateful to him. He saved my life! Thank you Mr.Kern!!”

I don't know what I'd be doing right now.
“Choosing an attorney to represent you during one of the most stressful times of your life can be daunting. Your life might literally be in the hands of the lawyer you choose. For that reason, I'm writing this review.
Mr. Kern stood up for me in court, and absolutely embarrassed the other side. He had deep knowledge of the law. He didn't waste any time, sticking only to the relevant information. With all the calm and cool that you would hope to expect he shut down the case, and had it dismissed. Without his remarkable knowledge of the law and the natural confident presentation I don't know what I'd be doing right now. This man is good, real good. I highly recommend Mr. Kern.”
