Cognitive Enhancers, Smart Drugs and Nootropics – A Pharmacologist's Introduction
Cognitive enhancement with pharmaceuticals, stimulant drugs and various supplements is not unheard of in college campuses. In this video I will give my, quite critical, introduction to the use of various smart drugs - "brain doping". Unfortunately this video scratches only the very surface of this topic, so please leave a comment down below if you're interested to hear more.
Something I perhaps didn't emphasize clearly in the video: keep in mind, that when I refer to heavy smart drug use, I mean the use of stacks of dozens of different supplements throughout the day.
