Prosecutors said Thursday they have until Aug. 1 to decide whether to file charges against Gore's son.

A study published in the medical journal Addiction in 2005 found that rates of abuse of prescription stimulants including Adderall were higher at northeastern colleges and schools with more competitive admission standards. About 4 percent of college students in that study reported non-medical use of prescription stimulants in the past year.

Al Gore III's arrest may raise awareness among parents, Misch said.

"This is an opportunity for people to understand this is happening in your household," he said. "These are your kids. The drug dealers they're going to are their doctors, their parents and their friends."
