Thanks to a Nationwide Adderall Shortage, an SMU Dealer Says, Profits Are Up, Up, Up

As midterms approached on the SMU campus, as the dual stenches of Red Bull and coffee drifted through university libraries and the bars fell quiet, Jennifer, clad in an oversized sweatshirt and yoga pants, looked like an average college student cramming for midterms.

Yet, as she sat at her usual table in a study room in SMU's Fondren Library, she held what many students consider the key to a successful test season -- if, that is, they are willing to meet her price. They usually are.

Jennifer is a campus Adderall dealer. And in the time of a nationwide shortage of the prescription stimulant, she's in a seller's market.

"On our first reading day, I had already received at least five texts with people wanting to buy a few," said Jennifer, who spoke to Unfair Park on condition we didn't use her real name. "Midterms and finals are always good for business."
