Below is a headline I read, which I find hard to believe.
CNN is reporting, Use of brain-boosting drugs reported in survey:
ATLANTA, Georgia (CNN) — One in five respondents to a new survey in the journal Nature say they’ve used drugs to boost their brain power.
The drug of choice was Ritalin; use of a similar drug, Adderall, also was reported. The stimulants are approved to treat attention-deficit disorder, but scientists say they would have a noticeable effect on almost anyone.
Half of the responders in the Nature survey reported unpleasant side effects, such as headaches, anxiety and sleeping troubles. But 69 percent said the boost was worth the risk.
Sometimes fact is stranger than fiction and so-called normal people make the intellectually challenged look like a genius.
