Smart Drugs and the Return of the Caffeine Thread!

Postby Brig » Nov 2, 2004 @ 2:06pm

How's your intake?

How about some modafinil (Provigil) or adrafinil?

Anyone taking nootropics? Aniracetam, Piracetam, Oxiracetam? How do you feel about taking so-called "smart" drugs?

How do you feel about Olympians taking "muscle" drugs?

Are you talking in terms of steroids? It's their bodies; they can do what they want with them. If there's a competition and organizers say they want to limit the use of certain drugs, that's their prerogative. Personally, I take creatine monohydrate and enough caffeine that I'd probably fail an olympic drug test.

I feel much the same about smart drugs. Take for example, piracetam. Piracetam has little in the way of negative side effects. The upsides are improvements in creativity and memory.

I dunno. With as low as my scores are on the SAT and ACT, and how much I struggle with Math, Foreign Languages, and other materials that confuzzle me, I'd give them a shot.

With you, I seriously doubt it's an intelligence issue. It's probably lack of motivation or some sort of ADD.
Organic Superlube? Oh, it's great stuff, great stuff. You really have to keep an eye on it, though--it'll try and slide away from you the first chance it gets.
