[extropy-chat] Risks of Smart Drugs

[Paul Grant]

Can't say anything about smart drugs;
however, I do have a personal observation regarding grape juice.
I find, if I have been concentrating for a great deal of time
(making lots of complex decisions for a number of hours), that
I deplete something... and when I drink grape juice (for which
I develop a most unusual hankering), i get a mental boost.

Just an FYI, in case you were interested (or anyone on the list 
for that matter).

Vinpocetine is the only OTC nootropic that gives me any 
noticeable effect. Subjectively, it seems like the world goes by just a
tiny bit slower, and I feel a bit more on top of things. Unfortunately I
am unaware of any quick tests 
to determine the efficacy of nootropics. This effect 
seemed to fade over a couple of days though. Who knows 
whether I was adapting to the subjective effect (and still 
receiving an objective effect, if any) or whether I was 
adapting to the objective effect and it was losing it's 
efficacy.

I've also had noticeably positive effects from vinpocetine.
