Welcome to Wonderland.

Actually, a well-known study drug is Ritalin/Methylphenidate. Boosts concentration over longer periods of time. Isn't that different than cocaine, I think it's almost similar.

I walked over and looked at the package. It's made in Arizona.

You're skinnier than I thought you'd be.

Anyone actually use these kinds of things things to aid study?

Pretty common in America, roughly 5-10% or so use them.

Wow that's silly.

Who here remembers "horny goat weed"?

Ive wanted take it and throw it in random peoples food to see if it has an effect.

And then I grew up.

I'll just stick with my coffee. My main problem is staying awake in lecture anyways.

I don't know about over there, Rick, but over here, people take studying seriously, at least the musicians do. I've personally never used anything, but I've known other pianists who took prescription drugs to lower their heart rate so they don't get as nervous, and others who take things to help them concentrate better in their juries.

Who says we don't take things seriously? Over here the people who can make it don't need substances to perform at the required level.

Bad wording by me. I wasnt implying that people over there don't take things seriously. I was implying the "do anything to get ahead" mentality. There are tonnes who take it seriously and do things the right way. Just that there are also the bunch who take things to get ahead. Thing is, the people who can normally make it take them to get even further ahead..The people taking it arent stiffs who cant play if their life depended on it. They're good pianists who want to be even better.

Wow that's silly.

Is it silly to use drugs in order to concentrate better and thus gain better grades?

oh god coffee. I can't consume the stuff without running to the can ~20 minutes afterwards. And yes, ~20 minutes is an observed, measured, and calculated consistent amount of time. Iuno what happens but that's just what my body does.
