My pitch would be something like:

 

"Are you interested in taking an extremely nontoxic medicine that will give you the ability to think a thousand times faster and more expansively than normal* and have access to parts of your mind** you didn't even know existed?

 

*May include going nuts

**May include vast nightmare realms"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Will, this medication you describe should be worded as “…give you the ability to perceive that you are thinking a thousand times faster…” 

 

But there is no need to debate wording, for this can be easily measured, particularly for those who play chess.  Go on Chess.com, play a few dozen games, establish a rating in speed chess (ten minutes for the game (it goes lightning fast and requires intense concentration and calculation.))

 

Then, devour your favorite medication.  As soon as it kicks in, play.  If you really are thinking a thousand times faster, you will win every game.  Your rating will rise 300 points in one evening.  If on the other hand, you perceive you are thinking a thousand times faster, they will kick your butt until it is located between your shoulder blades.

 

If you decide to try this experiment, do offer us a chance to bet on the outcome please.
