AUSTIN, Texas – Thirteen people have been arrested and federally indicted for allegedly distributing and selling illegal drugs to University of Texas students in Austin and San Antonio, according to federal prosecutors. “These are not pills being carefully manufactured and tested by sophisticated pharmaceutical companies.”Search warrants were executed Thursday as part of Operation Spiderweb and resulted in the seizure of hallucinogenic mushrooms, counterfeit Adderall, counterfeit Xanax, LSD and other drugs. “Investigators estimate that the overall sales of the illegal drugs sold by this organization exceed $1 million,” Sofer said.

According to a study from Ohio State University, seven out of ten college students say it’s easy to get the drug from their friends, family, or other acquaintances. Health officials say Adderall can be highly addictive because it causes dopamine levels to to go up.
