Hi, I am a not so smart 15 year old. I was introduced to weed by a few friends about two years ago and of course after awhile you want to try different things. (this was my case, at least.) About a year ago I got into my parents medicine and found Adderall. I took two with the impression I would get "high" and I figured one pill wouldn't help me achieve that. They were 30 mg pills though, so 60 mg of Adderall for the first time was crazy, probably the most euphoric I've ever felt. After that, I took some recreationally a few times, but it was never as good as the first. ..but I'm getting to the point now. These last two weeks I've taken between 30-60 mg of Adderall every NIGHT around 10-11. I love sitting around playing video games on Adderall all night long with no one to bother me. Even though it's only been two weeks I made it a habit. I plan on completely ending this habit now, it is 7:30 AM and I am still awake like usual. From taking Adderall every night for two weeks cause any harm to let's say my heart for example? Or any other organs? While I am on it, I do not eat a lot at all, I am already underweight. I get decent sleep, I usually sleep all day though. I am not very healthy as it is (underweight and very self-conscious about it) so I plan on stopping this, I just would like to know if I should be worried about anything.

Well, a lot of the things you should be worried about you already listed yourself. At least you still get sleep, otherwise you'd be in serious trouble.
You probably shouldn't be too worried about permanent damage yet at this point (although I'm not a doctor, nor an amphetamine-expert). 60mg of Adderall per day is very high, but I believe it's not extremely rare for ADD patients. Just make sure you quit your binge right now since it's doing you no good at all, unless you make a proper living playing videogames, and it's obviously harming you. Make sure you start to hydrate properly and eat healthily (gaining weight from junk food isn't going to do you any good either). Add in some exercise, just simple bodyweight exercises like push-ups and crunches and you should start seeing improvements on your weight soon.
One last tip: if you ever find yourself in possession of a drug you've never used, make sure to do some research on it. Taking such a high dose of Adderall your first time might not have caused too much trouble, other drugs could do some serious damage if you're not careful.
And just out of curiosity: don't your parents notice their Adderall is disappearing?

due to the fact you only have been using Adderall short term, and at a fairly low/moderate dose of 60mg at the same time everyday, you shouldn't suffer any consequences from the Adderall that would result in heart problems. Potentially all your facing is psychological addiction, insomnia from being up all night, depression, weight loss (as it is an appetite suppressant), which can lead to malnutrition, but I don't see that being an issue for you. I commend you for having the self discipline to be taking the same exact dose every time you do it, and at 24hr intervals. If you were becoming hooked to them you would of def. increased your dose, or would have "re-dosed" as the 60mgs effects wore off. You can discontinue taking Adderall without having to worry about having any potentially dangerous withdrawl, since it is an amphetamine and doesn't cause physical dependency of any sort, only psychological addiction/dependency. You're not completely off the hook though 
. Plan on experiencing some depression as Adderall releases dopamine and serotonin and depletes these natural brain chemicals. Your brain will naturally need time to heal and regain these chemicals, you can help by taking vitamins, eating nutritious foods, and most importantly getting back to your normal sleep pattern. I wouldn't be surprised if you don't experience any of these issues as you only been taking 60mg every 24 hours, which is a therapeutic dose that doctors do give patients, but usually to be taken in the AM, unless you work 3rd shift and directed otherwise by a doctor, lol. you should be fine man, it's only been two weeks you been taking it, and props that u did with moderation, some willpower, and taken orally and not any other ROA seeking potentiation or more of a kick. You are safe, all ways around, possibly, depending on ur personality the only problem I could see is mental addictiom. Be Safe!@ Adderall is a wonderful drug with a lot of benefits, the more frequent you use it, the more you will need, it wont last as long, the positive effects/euphoria will diminish and you will experience more of the negative effcts. Take a break off of it for awhile, so you don't ruin the "honeymoon period/magic" it offers
