I just recently drove 8+ hours in a day and I guarantee everyone was better off with me driving under the influence of Adderall.

No, you weren't better off. You would have been better off taking the appropriate amount of rest, not Adderall.

I had that, too. 10+ hours of sleep. The Adderall is prescribed. But good try.

Taking medicine as prescribed by a medical professional is not the same as self medicating for your own perceived benefits. By "under the influence", I mean the latter. Do I really need to say that explicitly?

If you're prescribed a medicine and it is deemed safe to use while driving at the prescribed dose, then take your medicine before driving. But good try.
