I Want A New Drug
Brain drugs are the new dope. An anti-sleeping pill called Modafinil is being used (abused?) to brain power.
The drug is among a new class of cognition enhancing drugs. Professor Gary Lynch, from the University of California, Irvine, helped invent another class called Ampakines.Professor Lynch designed them specifically to increase memory and cognition.
And he claims that animal experiments suggest that the drug enables the brain to rewire itself or make neural connections between different regions that normally people cannot make.
This rewiring, he claims, may enable people to “build thoughts that are a little bit beyond the normal brain”.
Does anyone have any experience with this stuff? And does the effect wear off?

Yes, I’ve heard of it but haven’t had the pleasure of trying it; though I doubt I’d say no if I found an M.D. or D.O. willing to prescribe a few tabs for experimentation.
Just fyi, it’s schedule IV, and so, probably has some nice stimulant/euphoric effects for fans of amphetamines/methylphenidate/other “speed” (bleech).
