Dominic Cummings claims Cambridge University students are ordering drugs on the dark web

Dominic Cummings, the former aid to Prime Minister Boris Johnson, has criticised the Home Office for failing to take action on students’ use of prescription drugs.

Cummings, an Oxford alumnus, tweeted on 13/09: “Talking to students at Oxford and Cambridge, it’s clear many simply order drugs from dark web direct to their college pigeonholes. Nothing planned – or executable – by Home Office, which a serious regime would immediately close, will affect this trade.”

His statement was in response to Dr. Andrew D Huberman, PHD, who claimed on Twitter that 25% of students aged 16-32 take Adderall 1-7 times a week.”

I just learned from a colleague and it was confirmed by every student I asked, that 25% of students age 16-32 take Adderall 1-7X/week (not prescribed). And 5-10% do the same w/Modafinil or Armodafanil; 30-35% of students are on amphetamine. This is serious. Safer options exist
