Addiction to Drugs/Adderall Abuse

Question
Dear Mr. Peter L,

I am a Journalism student at Northeastern University. I am writing a paper about "Adderall" and its effects and causes it has on college students. Also issues surrounding females abusing Adderall for weight loss. I would truly appreciate it if I could have a few minutes of your time for a quick phone interview.

I apologize for such short notice and I know you must be very busy, but I am on deadline, therefore would sometime this weekend possibly work at any time? Again, it won't take very long and your input will be most beneficial.

I appreciate your time,

Sincerely,

Kai Goh

Answer
Hi,

I'd like to help you, but am not sure how to we will be able to establish communication.
This is a public forum, so any phone numbers or email addresses will be visible to others.

There may be a way for AllExperts contact to be conducted privately, but I don't know how
that's done.
