Risks w/o benefits: Adhd meds can have potentially serious s/e in any patient. However, because of the effect they have in patients who truly have adhd, their risks are worth taking. When somebody w/o adhd takes stimulants, they are essentially abusing it and taking on their risks without benefits.
