Ah, ya he's fine then. This whole freaking defense was on adderall. It definitely makes you think faster though.

I don't think so. Think about the time it takes for neurotransmission to occur. Fractions of a second. Speeding that up? Even if you could cut the time in half we're talking about such small increments of time that it'd likely be undetectable to the human eye.

It makes you more attentive. To everything.

Also makes fatigue less of an issue. That's why college kids cram the stuff around finals. They can power through hours and hours of studying without feeling tired at all.

It doesn't speed up thought processes, as far as I know.

It simply allows the person to focus a far greater amount of their mental capacity at a specific task and for a far greater duration than would be normally achievable.

I'm a college kid who has admittedly taken plenty of adderall over the years. While it does increase focus and attention, and make you less tired, you are still much quicker to react to things. At least from my experience you are much more quick whitted. Adderall is an amphetamine and baseball players have been using things like cocaine for years to be able to hit a ball. It just zones you in and you are able to react much quicker.
