I think some others have brought up the issue of liability. We could be putting ourselves at risk if a parent or school were to find out that we had knowledge of illegal student activity and turned a blind eye. Hiding or not reporting crimes is taken very seriously.

big pharma shovels into todays youth isn't far off from a lot of the recreational drugs these students could be (and sometimes are) taking. A handful of students on teams in FRC are on prescribed pharmaceutical amphetamine, and yes it does put them at an advantage over those students not on them. Just something to chew on.
I think the focus of this post was about what one should do, both ethically and legally, when students are illegally abusing substances. Taking recommended doses of amphetamines is in a different class of concern from kids getting high or drunk (which is, I think, the point of this post).
