Answer: The answer is No

Explanation: Drugs that improve cognitive functions such as Adderall and Dexedrine are stimulants. They help people with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) to be more focused. This type of drugs shouldn't be available to people without this disorder because it has been discovered that people misuse it and it is associated with psychosis, myocardial infarction, cardiomyopathy, and even sudden death. So this type of drug should be only available when prescribed to someone with ADHD.
