I highly doubt the resourceful youth of Korea have not discovered several ways to find and abuse stimulants to help them study.

Just curious, what is the average prison sentence in Korea for a 16-year old found guilty of buying Adderall online?

Six months of time and >$1.5m gone from lifetime earnings? Definitely needs clarification from Korean guys, though.

And they say drug prohibition can’t work.

Unless you're a celebrity, in which case you get "special treatment."

When do they test you?

It's mostly illegal to purchase in the first place iirc.

Random tests at the airport for instance, or more recently when you enroll for military service, as all males are required to.

The "resourceful youth" have to deal with a competitive environment, highschool bullying, exams, so they have a lot to do.

Prison sentence for drug use is up to 5 years.
