  • hocine, on 01/18/2009, -1/+29Goodbye, Ritalin.

  • hulkamaniaz, on 01/18/2009, -0/+17Coffee doesn't help me stay awake at all. I guess it differs from person to person.
  • seanchen07, on 01/18/2009, -0/+16there is now officially no reason to not smoke weed anymore
  • zspade, on 01/18/2009, -0/+13Slow down there Lebs, one step at a time. First we have to take the mind enhancing drugs that allow us to build those robots.
  • Oinkie, on 01/18/2009, -1/+13The drug they are talking about is Piracetam. It's available through a prescription or you can just get it online.

  • BruisedGhost, on 01/18/2009, -0/+9A spokesman Adderall XR said: "We get a lot of calls from college campuses asking about it."


    I would like to meet Mr. Adderall XR. ***** Telegraph garbage news

  • isiz, on 01/18/2009, -0/+9Adderall.

    Oh wait...
  • TVarmy, on 01/18/2009, -0/+9Old: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drE5cHe6c3s#t=5m44s It's been in Britain forever and as shown in the clip, the side effects are easy to self-medicate.

    Not to be confused with: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdI_MmN-Lp4#t=4m25s
  • zspade, on 01/18/2009, -0/+8I wonder if this will be more or less effective than modafinil. I recently just tried modafinil, and while it worked great to keep me up, it was only ok for memory enhancement - about as good as coffee.

    That said, I later started having horrible reactions to it and had to stop taking it, but from my understanding that is rare.

  • FLarsen, on 01/18/2009, -0/+7Caffeine is a CNS stimulant that works as an adenosine receptor antagonist, resulting in increased alertness and cognitive functions. You must be an idiot, drink some coffee and read up on caffeine.
  • MacEnvy, on 01/18/2009, -0/+7Oh man, Saved By The Bell flashback ... don't do it, Jessie!
  • Horace, on 01/18/2009, -1/+8Dear Telegraph Editors,

    When doing an article about a drug it's considered good practice to actually NAME THE DRUG!
  • MacEnvy, on 01/18/2009, -1/+8I didn't know there were Mormons on Digg ...
  • jeffiek, on 01/18/2009, -1/+8I have a better idea. Let them make up their own minds.

    They're the scholars. Not you.
  • hocuxpocux, on 01/18/2009, -1/+8Wikipedia told me that snorting speed (amphetamine) before an exam will result in me achieving a higher grade!
  • Memnochxx, on 01/18/2009, -0/+7That's not profitable.
  • oda1, on 01/18/2009, -2/+8LOL UR A PLAYA!!!

  • WriterSD, on 01/18/2009, -2/+8Will it help me remember names?
  • diggdong, on 01/18/2009, -0/+5Elevators raise blood pressure.
  • Biscuitz, on 01/18/2009, -2/+7The answer to everything, shove medication down your throat.

    /end sarcasm (in case it's needed)
  • oda1, on 01/18/2009, -0/+5Don't worry there's a suppository version that is released in increments throughout the day, as long as you keep it inserted.

  • blooby, on 01/18/2009, -0/+5What's this? Learning drugs? They're illegal, matey. Where did you get them? I'm afraid you're in very serious, grave, deep trouble, Lister. Where did you get them? I want names, I want places, I want dates.

    Arnold Rimmer, his locker, this morning.
  • Memnochxx, on 01/18/2009, -0/+5Except it wouldn't be illegal, so who cares as long as you get the job done? And a resume? By the time you're looking for a job because you got straight As in college it's far too late for a drug test.
  • Memnochxx, on 01/18/2009, -0/+5Is that because poor people can't afford drugs, or because rich people don't already buy their way through school?
  • Spudster, on 01/18/2009, -0/+5The article is terribly written. It's common knowledge people take stimulants to study in school. It's far from new.

  • LilBoyLuver, on 01/18/2009, -0/+5They have a pill for that too.
  • inactive, on 01/19/2009, -1/+6you spelled Adderall wrong
  • LingNoi, on 01/18/2009, -0/+4>> By Lucy Cockcroft

    hahaha...
  • geodebug, on 01/18/2009, -4/+8I want a new drug. One that wont make me sick. One that wont make me crash my car. Or make me feel three feet thick. I want a new drug. One that wont hurt my head. One that wont make my mouth too dry. Or make my eyes too red. One that wont make me nervous. Wondering what to do. One that makes me feel like I feel when I'm with you. When I'm alone with you. I want a new drug. One that wont spill. One that don't cost too much. Or come in a pill. I want a new drug. One that wont go away. One that wont keep me up all night. One that wont make me sleep all day. One that wont make me nervous. Wondering what to do. One that makes me feel like I feel when I'm with you. When Im alone with you. I'm alone with you baby. I want a new drug. One that does what it should. One that wont make me feel too bad. One that wont make me feel too good. I want a new drug. One with no doubt. One that wont make me talk too much. Or make my face break out. One that wont make me nervous. Wondering what to do. One that makes me feel like I feel when I'm with you. When I'm alone with you
