What do you think of 'smart drugs'?

What do you think? These are called nootropics actually and that many students seem to be taking them. Will there be any side effects? I'm a student myself and i tempted to consume them too.

I thought of purchasing Synaptine( search on google and click on the 4th result).

What do you think of it? does the site seem reliable?

To be honest, I think it is a "too-good-to-be-true" situation. I'm suspicious of anything that makes something too easy.

The simple answer is: DO NOT DO IT!

The more thorough explanation is:

Your body was designed to function at its optimum capacity without any drugs. When you pump drugs into your body, you're offsetting the balance in one way or another. Most of the time, this will lead to "bad stuff happening" either in the long term (cancer, kidney stones) or short term (dehydration, hypertension).

As your body's balance becomes out of whack, your brain will send signals to try to compensate. Guess what happens next? Your body will become even more out of whack!

I just read some info on nootropics. It works by stimulating the nervous system. This means your body is producing excess neurotransmitters, which is putting extra stress on your nervous system (picture a Toyota Corolla pushing 200 miles per hour...imagine what the engine is going through). Do you know know why that is bad?

Because your nervous system controls everything in your body, from sensing light to feeling hot/cold surfaces to regulating whether your body should devote energy to digestion or muscles. So do you really want to gamble with your body like that?

Wow. Thanks. You've shed some light into this issue. I never know about it, though i've heard of some side effects upon consuming these smart drugs:yes:
