#negative effects of smart drugs

[reallytoosublime]

Join Dr. Chris Walton in this eye-opening video as he tests three popular smart drugs on two different individuals. Smart drugs, known for their claims to boost memory, focus, and learning abilities, are put to the test in a unique experiment. Dr. Walton explores the effects of Modafinal, Noopept and Piracetam on the bodies of two healthy and fit individuals.

In the first part of the video, Dr. Walton introduces Modafinal, a well-publicized smart drug used by biohackers and Silicon Valley enthusiasts. Witness the real-time reactions of one participant, Tom, as Dr. Walton applies the drug and observes its impact on Tom's stress response. The results are surprising and raise important questions about the touted benefits of these smart drugs.

As the experiment continues, Dr. Walton tests two more smart drugs, Noopept, and Piracetam, on another participant, Chris from Primal Alchemy. The outcomes are consistent across the board, revealing stress responses in all three individuals. The video emphasizes that all drugs, despite claims of cognitive enhancement, have side effects and may induce stress reactions in the body.

The video challenges common beliefs about the positive effects of smart drugs and highlights potential drawbacks, even in young and healthy individuals. Dr. Walton emphasizes the importance of caution when considering such substances and encourages viewers to question the true impact of these drugs on overall health.

This video is for informational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice. Consult with a healthcare professional before incorporating any smart drugs or nootropics into your routine.

Watch the video to gain valuable insights into the world of smart drugs and to make informed decisions about their potential effects on your well-being. Remember, not all that glitters is gold, especially when it comes to enhancing cognitive function. Stay informed, stay healthy

How do you think the 141 feels about weed?

Oh buddy, I'm sure there are people on this site that can give you a better answer, cuz weed is very much illegal in my country, and I fumbled my two-three chances to get in on the fun cuz I have actually quite the law-abiding friend circle (meaning I am the only one who ever got arrested and that was for protesting, yeah), so I actually have very limited understanding what's it like. But I do have internet and I am watching media, so I'll try to think about it.

CW: weed smoking, just in case, mentions of addiction

I feel like Ghost would actually benefit from it a lot. Once he gets stabilized without it and stops seeing nightmares every night, he can actually enjoy the relaxed state it puts him in, all the yelling in his brain dumbed down to a white noise static. It's not a reliable treatment for PTSD, but it works to just slow him down and get him out of the constant sympathetic nervous system response. He would be wary of the negative effects though, cuz even one bad sesh can fuck him up BAD. And also he probably has a few tons of baggage about any drug use considering his backstory, but I like a "actually got a grip on it and not falling apart anymore" Ghost, so he's worked through the most painfull issues already. So yeah, Ghost - sometimes smoking for medical reasons (maybe he even thinks it's better than taking too many pills). And he mostly just gets eepy from it.

Price one hundred percent smoked when he was younger. Probably with Nikolai, lol, that man just saw this green Lieutenant with the weight of the whole world on his shoulders and decided to help poor baby John out by loosening him up a bit. That came out wrong, but also right, oops. It's totally about that fucking stress of constant responsibility, the heaviness of allllll the decisions he had to make, and the never-ending grind to be even better. Now, I think, he's not too keen on it, cuz it just leaves him sloppier, all that filtration system in his body working a little worse (probably from all the times he got toxins in his system and nearly overdosed on pills to keep himself in working condition instead of taking a break), so it just has too long of an effect to his liking. He's relaxing with a normal cigar and whiskey or a pint now, it just more controllable for him. But if you manage to get him on vacation or something, he won't refuse probably. Might actually just fall asleep, but mostly it has effect on his body, it just visibly relaxes. Probably takes off some of that back pain too.

Gaz would be on the fence morally about it, cuz he just has the strictest moral code out of them all in my opinion, in the sense that he doesn't want to bend his own rules (but he totally can bend someone else's). So he might've been apprehensive about weed at first, but once he built a more nuanced worldview, he probably started considering it not that big of a deal, maybe not evil at all. Probably not embracing it to the point of regularly having, but if you're having fun, he'll have fun too. I also love rave scene Gaz, so when he's on leave he's probably even more chill about it. I do think he would prefer edibles though. Ohhh bake him some special brownies! That's what he can't say no to. He's even more fun when he's high, but sometimes a switch clicks and he gets into some deep philosophical shit (that actually makes sense, because he's too smart). Talks for three hours straight, gets his throat sore and tongue dry, makes references to ancient greek phlosophers, marxism and Albert Camu. Probably ends up making out with someone who didn't get half of what that man just said, but wow, how did he say that...

Soap is the one who should NEVER have access to weed, but you look away for a moment and he's chewing on an edible. His ADHD gets horrible under influence, he can't keep a train of thought even for two minutes, his body isn't hyperactive, but his mind is just a whirlwind of colours, sounds, impulses and sensations. He's the "show him a finger and watch him laugh to tears for fifteen minutes straigt " type, but if he keeps adding more on top of what he consumed just now, he might actually harm himself. He'll just lose control and spiral with all the impulsiveness and confusion of an uninhibited ADHD brain, and he knows that, so he's never doing it alone just to be safe, poor baby. Draws A LOT while he's high, actually, and it looks different from his usual sketches. He might actually like the weed ones more, so it's a possible incentive for him to keep consuming. I wouldn't say he's addicted or anything, but he has obvious troubles with self-control.

Jaune: There's a correct speed to abuse substances. And it's different for different substances.

Weiss: Okay, I'm listening.

Jaune: They all follow the logistic function. Sort of a low and long 's' shape. Some drugs, like weed, you take and you get to the upper part of the curve and stay there. You take more weed and don't go any higher. Your return on investment, first derivative, is basically zero. A lot of typical and atypical antipsychotics are like that. The difference between 15 and 20 mg of Saphris is greater by an order of magnitude than the difference between 20 and 30.

Weiss: So if I smoked a dab and then smoked another dab, I wouldn't really have gotten more high.

Jaune: Right. Take dabs after the first one wears off and you get less return but more than if you took two right in a row.

Weiss: But not all drugs are like that.

Jaune: No. Oploids, alcohol, and amphetamines aren't like that. And it has to do with the second derivative of that sigmoid function.

Weins: Okay. I remember some calculus.

Jaune: The second derivative gives you the inflection points. Where the first derivative is at its maximum or minimum. Maximum in the case of the sigmoid function. Logarithmic functions don't have that second inflection point. Well debatable depending on the species of calculus you're using. In some it makes sense to say the natural logarithm function has an inflection point at positive and negative infinity. That inflection point is where you're getting the most out of taking more of a drug.

Weiss: Right. Okay. So what happens with opioids and those other drugs.

Jaune: You never reach that point where your return on Investment becomes zill.

Weiss: Why not?

Jaune: They kill you between then and the inflection point. So about the time you're getting the most out of the drug it's liable to kill you. You could slip up and go too far. There's a correct speed to do it. You gotta be smart.

Weiss: This doesn't sound smart.

Jaune: So how do you solve this problem that when you're getting the most out of a drug it could kill you?

Weiss: I don't know. How did you solve it?

Jaune: By mixing them.

Weiss: And that's smart?

Jaune: If you do it right. The amphetamines could stop your heart. The opioids, benzos, and alcohol put you to sleep forever.

Weiss: But mixing them?

Jaune: Right. Opioids and alcohol for the pain and to put you on the edge of consciousness. Amphetamines to stay awake. A dab, because it won't kill you.

Weiss: And you mix all that with your antipsychotics.

Jaune: Which work by making dopamine and seratonnin receptors more active. You flood your brain with dopamine with the benzos. And for the cherry on top you take a really strong propsychotic.

Weiss: Like THC or amphetamines?

Jaune: Like acid.

Weiss: You can't be serious.

Jaune: I totally am.

Weiss: And this makes you happy?

Jaune: Nothing is a good substitute for a nice laugh or a hug.

Weiss: I'll give you a hug if you just ask.

Jaune: But-but you can't drop those into your system on demand. What I get isn't quite happiness. It's a little dirtier. But it has a really strong effect and I probably won't die. I'm just going to see some shit.

As a White/Asian person of transgenderism, I may well vote for some R soon because I am calculating what extremism I can survive. And the fact is, I can pass as my assigned gender, I can pass as a good little Protestant Christian, but I can't pass as BIPOC. And now we're letting Haitians in so me getting hate crimed is more on the table than ever, but at least the Rs let me stay strapped. And I don't mean the sexual kind of strapped. I would vote Dem if they'd swear off the woke-bigotry and the effectively-open borders, and at least do a sane shall-issue permitting regime for guns.

Obviously I don't say any of this IRL because I know who's really most likely to bash me.

Thanks for your perspective Nonny.

Um, have you actually met Haitians though? I have worked with a lot of Haitians, because they’ve been immigrating here for a while and they have seemed to be sober, hard working, family oriented people, and the most bothersome things about them by any metric were how devout they were (Seventh Day Adventist), which has some potential negative consequences from a LGBTQ perspective. But like, I was told all kinds of things about Haitians as a kid (that they were lazy devil-worshipers mostly) and it turned out that almost all of those things had nothing to do with the actual Haitians I have met. And like, I have been mostly meeting first and second gen Haitian immigrants at pretty low paid jobs so it’s not like I only encountered the absolute cream of Haitian immigrants either.

I don’t see Haitians specifically as a problem in my community, and I’m in an area where some of my work sites have been like 1/3 Haitians (because they were all smart enough to do a fairly complex computer based access control job, could pass a drug test and background check, and show up on time day after day and even do long hours, which is more than could be said for some groups).

I think you all forget that Simon is not the silent type. He wants to be heard. He wants to be seen for who he is.

Wille is used to hide from negativity by the Court, by bodyguards. Wille is used to hold on his tongue and have no opinions. Simon isn’t. Simon has no one to defend him – he is used to protect himself, to stand for himself, for his sister, to speak his truth. Because in his world silence is treated like agreement to what is done for you. He was probably also inspired by his mom during that meeting in the palace.

And he's 16. He's told bullshit to his face and desperately wants to clear up himself from these hurtful words. And You never want to do something more than when you are recommended not to.

Also Simon really thought that if he's bound to be involved with the royals he could at least do smth useful for his ideals like inspiring the LGBTQ+ community, to change the world for the better.

Judging by how enlivened Jan-Olaf looked when Linda mentioned moving to another city, I'm sure the Court hoped for this 'phase' in Wille's life to pass soon and were not intended to make it any easier for the boys.

I agree that Simon trying to fix things on his own fits his character. We've seen it multiple times: he got the beer for the party, he fixed the money with drugs, he picked up tutoring and rowing to advance his grades, he plotted to make Wille jealous at the ball 🤭 Not all of his plans were successful. I don't think that's ooc that he would try to fix the comments he was getting. I couldn't understand why he kept doing it or why the erasure of his identity was tied to the social media plot.

My grievance is how the Simon posting plot took such a big role in season three. For me it still felt like it came out of nowhere. We didn't see Simon reacting in a similar way after the sex video. It just wasn't built up in the show.

Simon also already knew that being close to Wille will have an effect on what he can post or not. (when Wille asked Simon to take down the story of the football match in season 1). I didn't like how this plot made Simon look not that smart.

I would also have hoped some growth for Simon in that regard, that he would learn to accept help and to rely on others. I feel like he was used for the plot and he deserves better.

[keef-a-corn]

Dat’s right, People, it’s time for ‘Keef watches TFP and you just get the notes!’

This is for season 1, episode 22: Stronger, Faster

Please reblog or comment on this with your thoughts! I really want to know what your opinion of the episode was!

I write down the timestamps, but I watch Transformers Prime on Stan (an Australian streaming service) so they may be slightly off.

ALSO! I try my best to note points for every character, but tend to get a little caught up by Bee (although I think I do a pretty good job with the notes regardless) so do be warned.

~~~~Transition~~~~

00:03 - Said no one to a transformers fan ever.

00:15 - I don’t know what happened to Ratchet’s lip-sync.

00:26 - *throws to the Ratchet fans* FEAST!

00:33 - Raf’s a smart character, wouldn’t he know that Ratchet needs to test it a few times to make sure it’s stable? …Or does Raf want to put Bee’s life at risk?. O-Ó

00:58 - I get the other shots, but why the Cliffjumper one? His death didn’t have a negative effect on the energon supply.

01:41 - It’s like listening to your parents discussing the taxes.

01:59 - aww.. baby no! I wanna put him in a blanket.

02:08 - could you imagine being a parent in the early 2010s, thinking your child’s just watching an innocent show, then walking in and watching this scene? The episode is honest to goodness about drug addiction and there’s nothing anyone can say that would disprove it.

02:19 - Imagine if that had actually killed him? Like everyone returning after a mission to find Ratchet dead on the floor.

~intro~

03:12 - an amusing sight

03:24 - Ratchet’s first move to check if he was better than fine was to rotate his arm/check his shoulder. For anyone who theorises hidden, long-term injuries on the bots, there’s one for ya.

03:28 - I’m sad that his energon was so low… but which one belongs to the others? A possible consideration would be that Optimus is the bottom, then Bulkhead’s above Ratchet, then Arcee, then Bee, from their frame sizes and such. Where Bulkhead and Optimus use up more energon due to their larger sizes.

03:56 - that’s so strategically cruel.

04:49 - Oh Damn.. Optimus ain’t playing around (obviously) but he doesn’t use that tone at any other point. It’s so… uncharacteristically in character of that makes sense.

05:08 - way too high risk. Slim odds of reward. Arcee has a bad habit on taking on too much during fieldwork. It’s incredible how she hasn’t been held back more often.

05:53 - Mm.. there’s not enough appreciation for the way vehicon’s prepare to land.

06:10 - why would he put the ground bridge up there?? HOW ARE THEY SUPPOSED TO GET BACK? + could you just imagine Bee, Bulk and Optimus waiting behind the rocks, trying to make small talk.

06:18 - Slay Ratchet. Damn.

06:50 - so that idea from before… still imagine that. Just because it doesn’t work in canon, doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be pictured.

07:16 - now I wouldn’t be doing my job if I didn’t say that the fact that they included this shot could’ve meant something important, especially how the camera lingered on Bee for a second before the zoom (he’s the focus point in the shot. He’s the least blurry in the zoom). This will not be the last comment I make that’s probably me just thinking too hard.

07:22 - the side eye.

07:23 - That sounds familiar..

HA CALLBACK.

07:32 - *cri* He looks so proud. Good.

07:36 - Oh n o ✨ he’s now become aware of the size difference in a way that isn’t making him worried for the safety of the children (also Ratchet’s canonically called Raf ‘little fella’ I will now abuse this fact.)

07:46 - ‘no secret’ then proceeds to reveal that he’s on drugs.

07:48 - you can see the shift in the other bots features.

07:57 - … what. Did. He. Say?. W H Y A R E T H E R E N O H I N T S ? !

08:04 - this one’s a quick translation.. *concerned husband noises* + that slight glare though.

08:09 - Now kids remember, don’t do drugs. And if Arcee suggests it’s a good idea. It isn’t.

08:20 - Optimus probably has some history with drug addiction/abuse (might not have been him, but a friend *cough cough* Megatron)

08:26 - Damn, Optimus really on edge this episode.

08:43 - expressive story telling.

08:46 - Under influence or not, Ratchet still called Bulkhead ‘Bulk’. He must’ve done so before, but still.

08:50 - Bulkhead’s more likely to respond with a nickname if he gets addressed with a nickname.

08:51 - Ratchet just bitch-slapped Bulk. Damn.

09:16 - oh hells no. Ratchet’s fist should never be that close to Bee’s face like that. + From experience, when someone air punches so close so your face, once you recognise that you’re not actually going to be punched, you relax, but if you still believe you're in danger you're going to remain on edge. Bee keeps himself tilted away, meaning he still sees Ratchet as a threat.

09:22 - *cri*

09:25 - Bee’s eyebrows raise higher after Ratchet insults him.

09:29 - pretend he was straight? Yeah. But seriously, what an uncomfortable situation for all of them.

09:42 - that’s a dependency. It’s never a good thing.

09:52 - Arcee’s tone indicates she’s still upset, otherwise she would’ve been a bit higher pitched.

09:57 - There’s something about the way Optimus reactions (physically) when Bulkhead stops him that’s really interesting. I cannot work out what though.

10:05 - that’s how Knockout stands.

10:10 - I very seriously doubt that Ratchet chose Bumblebee to stay back as a randomised choice. If he had called him ‘Bee’, maybe, but he didn’t. He said ‘Bumblebee’. It was intentional. Considering that Ratchet’s still very strategic, despite being under influence, he would’ve been more likely to put Arcee on the sidelines (she goes against orders, makes unnecessary risks and is not as good at fighting compared to the others + the others are a bit more durable.). There are a few reasons why he might’ve chosen Bee. Although I want to say that it’s super unlikely, I cannot rule out the idea that a drugged up Ratchet could be a bit ableist, explaining why he’d first remove the disabled bot- but, as I said, highly unlikely. What’s more likely is that he’s putting Bee on the sidelines because he sees him as the weakest after he immediately backed down from a challenge. Then you also have the idea that there’s still apart of Ratchet that would put himself in the face of danger to protect Bee.

10:13 - WHAT DID HE SAY?! THE SYLLABLES RARELY MEAN ANYTHING WHEN IT COMES TO BEE’S DIALOGUE SO THERE’S NO HINTS!

11:01 - He’s an ass, but he’s got a point.

11:47 - what was gonna be the plan?

12:03 - this is a serious part, why would they include something so comedic? + he do be having a really good aim tho.

12:29 - Torture for the location of something important… the irony. (IYKYK)

12:41 - Optimus’s reaction shot is like every animal reaction to a loud noise in the distance.

12:44 - Really reflects on how often Autobots torture someone from the way everyone reacts.

12:47 - the shot would’ve been more impactful had Ratchet been kneeling, rather than leaning over.

12:57 - Nothing can stop the indestructible force that is Optimus putting his hand on someone’s arm/shoulder to make them calm down.

13:02 - Bulkhead and Arcee standing in the back watching them.

13:08 - Miner vs Minor. Both make a lot of sense before the rest of the dialogue.

13:11 - ‘servant class, not warrior class’, I need to do my research, damn. Are there classes between Servant and warrior? I imagine there’s probably ones below Servant and above warrior, so the lowest class the autobots would fight is warrior. Are the classes the same for the autobots? *

13:14 - his headlights weren’t coloured properly.

13:17 - with each shot the camera gets closer to them. + Optimus’s really fed up.

13:20 - he got the Lego mouth.

13:33 - I refuse to believe that the nemesis isn’t moving every five minutes.

14:24 - OH. WOW. Low blow.

14:59 - That was quick. Especially considering that that was not the original coordinates.

15:18 - they established early on that Ratchet could do that.

15:23 - ..where is he going?

15:34 - they either removed a scene or there’s a giant error. Bee wasn’t with them.

16:11 - domineering: asserting one's will over another in an arrogant way.

16:34 - I stand corrected, Megatron isn’t on the ship… for some reason.

16:51 - Knockout hasn’t fought Ratchet before.

17:16 - underrated line + delivery.

17:20 - Megatron’s got a big hand.

17:23 - that’s what it feels like to loose an arm wrestle.

17:31 - Knockout immediately suggesting drugs.

17:37 - WTFRaG.

17:49 - …Okay but like I know he doesn’t mean it this way, but I prefer to imagine that Megatron’s witness Ratchet sitting in Optimus’s lap.

17:53 - dude wants to drug a whole army.

17:56 - first move. Call out husband’s name.

17:58 - second move. Admit to wrong-doings.

18:05 - Optimus grabbing onto the handrails (I wasn't able to get a clear shot)

18:08 - He’s so concerned.

18:10 - FRAGGIN FINALLY I CAN GUESS. ‘Yeah? -on it.’

18:14 - Optimus didn’t even finish his sentence before running to the rescue.

18:23 - her legs are moving faster than she is.

18:26 - NOTHING CAN STOP HIM NOOOOW.

18:32 - he won’t stop moving. It’s beautiful.

18:38 - Oh dear.. oh Ratchy no!

18:44 - Knockout’s had like a 0% success rate with that saw.

19:35 - his eyes are blue

19:50 - THAT LINE DELIVERY!

20:07 - he k n e e l s

20:12 - that pool of energon wasn’t there before and he wasn’t actively bleeding.

20:14 - smexy scenery.

20:21 - babes has been by his side the whole time.

20:24 - ‘you bled out’ >:)

20:31 - Aww! But also.. he punched Bulkhead.

12:32 - shut up. You’re crying.

20:35 - he finished his sentence.

20:41 - AAAAAAAAA

20:52 - so energon is a blue crystal that needs to be mined, where it’s then turned into glowing light blue cubes where it becomes a dark blue liquid and is injected into the arm? But if it’s purple it’s dark energon. If it’s green it’s Synth-en. But dark energon stays in crystal form and doesn’t need to be replaced, while normal energon needs to be stocked up and can burn.

21:24 - this is just the plot of Hercules (the Disney movie)

And that was Stronger, Faster

A lot lighter and darker than I remembered it. A very good watch and even if it’s just known for being the drug addiction episode, I’m glad that it’s known.

It’s a very dark topic, but I think it was addressed well. 10/10 would watch in a binge and when being selective about episodes.

BACKGROUND

trigger warnings for child abuse, mentions of homophobia, drug mention, body horror

You’re an outsider, you’ve always been an outsider. You were not your fathers child, when the babe presented your father took one look at you and uttered ‘not mine’. That has been your crowning achievement, even amongst 7 others, you belonged to nobody. Mother was busy with little ones, sisters raising each other, brothers doing whatever they wanted. Left to your own devices you discovered things about yourself – who you were, what you liked, what you were good at. School time was spent playing the fool, acting loud and making others laugh, their attention something you relished. Everytime teachers rang home, the belt was applied to your back legs but you never stopped, for their mirth was far greater than the pain you felt. One Sunday after church, you were caught wearing lipstick and kissing yourself in the mirror. Mother said it was fine, you were pretending to kiss a woman. You were smart enough not to tell her otherwise.

Despite all this, you are intelligent, far greater than anybody ever gives you credit for. Tests? You don’t study much, you just need to remember. Gifted, they call you, gifted. Such a word should’ve never been ascribed to you, its poison corroding your young and fragile ego. It doesn’t matter if father calls you wrong, or mother ignores your odd behavior because you’re gifted and they aren’t. You will die believing yourself to be special.

Except – you aren’t. You are barely above average, a fact that is too much to bear once you reach college. All your teenage awkwardness begins to leak out of you, identity crisis hitting an all time high. You are so easily influenced by others, wishing so badly to escape a spiral you are already trapped in. You’ve always acted out but, now? It grows worse, you spend half your time ingesting something to feel better. It goes hand in hand with your genius, you say, your test scores falling, falling falling down. There is little hope for you now, once a beacon of brilliance now barely scraping by. That is until an opportunity presents itself, one that will allow you to show your brilliance once more; write a 500 word essay for the Anunnaki pharmacy scholarship in NYC! The city calls, the excitement of breaking free from small towns small minds is delicious, the chance to be the center of attention. The best, the brightest, that’s all that matters.

You don’t smash it – in fact, you sabotage one or two other students so you get in, yet you flourish while there. Chemistry is something you can get into, and the social life provided by the city scratches two itches. Anunnaki have you working with their top researchers for months, studying and making notes, testing and trying before you’re asked to present your work. The drug that numbs physical pain, simple at first. A punch amounts to no flinch, a hand on a stovetop, even live surgery yields little feeling. Anunnaki are pleased, and kit you out to be a proper manufacturer. 

They take your work. Anything you had ideas on, for, is confiscated, your name stricken from the records and head of manufacturing put on instead. You hear whispers of the things they’re working towards, begin to do a little digging into the company, and you’re caught red handed. THEY TAKE YOUR EYES and fit you with a rusted pair they make your skin itch, your face hurt, and then you are so easily chucked out by the company who once hailed you a hero. Turns out, your knowledge can help you rebuild. A small chem lab, a couple of meth users and you, all working together to make a product. The product, the one that makes you a rockstar; Slow Tempo.

The Neon Pariah’s catch your attention, and you’re eager to join. To take back your work from Anunnaki, and bring them down. They’ll learn that even a Gazelle’s horns can still gut an animal.

OTHER

Middle child of 7. Big yikes am I right?

Anunnaki replaced their eyes with mechanical when the scholarship lead to a job. They allowed Beau to read and understand data and substances much faster and be able to work quicker. Think - Techie, from Dredd? Or just how ur eyes work in Cyberpunk 2077. However, after the mild stint of corporate espionage, they were taken out and replaced with older models. This is why Beau wears sunglasses a lot, as the skin around them is often sore / his eyes weep a lot.

Slow Tempo is a drug that essentially slows down the world around you and is taken much like an inhaler. Some gangs buy from him as they give it to torture victims before carrying out the deed. COOL!

Hi Quinn, I have some questions for you because I found out I have adhd. Seems like I have been living with this condition for most of my life and it wasn’t to recently after reading something about the condition that i decided to describe my experience to my doctor.He tried me on Wellbutrin, which didn’t work out too well. I could concentrate on what people were saying, but I felt horrible and it killed my creativity and motivation. my doctor told me he didn’t want to prescribe front line medication because he was in fear that it might trigger my psychosis I’m just glad I now know what it is that I have that I could never put my finger on before because I thought it was all due to me having schizophrenia. This eye opener explains to me at least why my behavior has seem to ruin my friendships. I’m very impulsive. My doctor told me we could discuss about me going on front line medication ion our next visit. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that he prescribes me something that will help. I told him that if I couldn’t be on front line medication I would live with adhd because of negative side effects from the other drugs. How did you recognize that you had the condition and how were your relationships with people before and after and does a medication like Adderall trigger psychosis in schizophrenics? 

Hi there,

I recognized I had adhd before I recognized the psychosis. I was a very classically adhd child, but it wasn't nearly as talked about in the 90s when I was a child, so I was mostly just thought of as "a ditz", dreamy, confused and all over the place. I was in high school by the time it came up consciously, but I was dismissed by the teacher I talked to about it, who said that I was too smart to have adhd, and that what I have is "a luxury problem where I'm too smart and thus never learned to study right". I believed then that it was my own fault, and I never brought up how adhd symptoms affected me far outside of a school/study setting.

When I eventually was diagnosed with adhd I had already started university, and it was more like an afterthought to me being slapped with "psychosis not otherwise specified" (which would later be changed to schizophrenia).

At the time they didn't want to put me on central stimulants either, and tried me on Strattera, a medication similar to wellbutrin. It made me miserable, so I also quit. And for a couple years they didn't dare to give me anything else.

Finally I was put on a low dose of concerta, which was helpful to me. Later the dose was taken up, and today I take elvanse (vyvanse in a US setting). For me, my relationships didn't change much with or without medication. I think personally that was one of the aspects where I was less impaired by adhd, but I also think the medication is more likely to help with giving more energy for and ability to focus. It doesn't always help you be less impulsive, but it can help you be more clear and levelheaded. As for whether adderall triggers psychosis in schizophrenics is a fairly individual question, it often doesn't, but it does have the potential to do so. Especially at high doses, it can trigger psychosis in previously healthy individuals too. Adderall can be rather helpful afaik, but it's actually not approved to be prescribed in the country I live in, because of the relatively high risk of developing addiction. Especially if you've struggled with addiction in the past (I don't know if you have, just mentioning it in case), and you definitely want to try adhd meds, I suggest talking to your doctor about some of the extended release types like vyvanse or concerta, bc they are easier to dose and harder to accidentally fuck with. Best of luck, no matter what you end up doing!

How Much Does Cannabis Oil Cost?

Whether you’re a new or experienced cannabis consumer, you’ve likely wondered, “how much does cannabis oil cost?” This new therapeutic product has earned high praise from medical and recreational users. Each bottle of cannabis oil, also known as a tincture, comes with varying ratios of cannabinoids at relatively steep prices compared to other health- and wellness-related products.  Despite the high markup for cannabis oil, many consumers regularly use this delivery method to reap all of the mental and physical benefits of two major cannabinoids: cannabidiol (CBD) and delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). A number of factors affect the price of the oil. You can expect to pay anywhere from $30 to up to $200 for a single bottle. Here’s what you need to know about shopping smart for cannabis oil.

How Much Does CBD Oil Cost?

CBD oil has become widely accessible to the entire nation. It’s revered for its non-psychoactive and therapeutic effects on pain, anxiety, inflammation, seizures, and other debilitating symptoms. The health and wellness aspect of CBD oil commands a premium price for its symptomatic relief. Apart from its medical applications, there are plenty of other factors that determine how much consumers pay for cannabis oil in general. Katie Stem of Peak Extracts told Weedmaps, “When examining a cost analysis from a production perspective, you look at labor, materials, packaging, labels, potency/purity testing, marketing, and shipping distribution.” For manufacturers, bulk CBD can range from $3 to $15 per gram, which works out to be less than one cent to 1.5 cents per milligram. Consumers end up paying about $50 to $60 per 1,000 mg bottle, or about 5 to 20 cents per milligram.

Why Are People Paying Premium Prices for CBD Oil?

CBD oil products, in particular, offer many potential health benefits for medical and recreational consumers. People generally buy CBD oil to help them with inflammation, pain, anxiety, stress, depression, muscle spasms, fatigue, sleep disorders, and plenty of other symptoms. Furthermore, CBD doesn’t produce the negative side effects, especially if you take the appropriate dosage. Despite the popularity of CBD oil products, their efficacy has not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration. Only the CBD-based drug, Epidiolex, has been approved for medical use. In fact, many hemp companies have received warning letters from the FDA for claiming unproven health benefits on its packaging and advertising. While CBD oil can help supplement a conventional treatment plan, it’s important to consult with your physician before starting a cannabis oil regimen.

How Much Does Cannabis Oil Cost?

Cannabis oil varies in price based on cannabinoid content, as well as the region where it’s sold. Seattle-based Headset published a report detailing pricing data for a variety of marijuana products in Washington State, California, Nevada, and Colorado. The price of THC oil varied by state. For example, Colorado had the highest price at 41 cents per milligram, which was 64 percent higher than Nevada’s 25 cents per milligram. California and Washington both had a 30 cent per milligram average price for THC oil. Here are just a few examples of THC oil prices in the Southern California market: - Mary’s Medicinals The Remedy THC has 1,000 mg of THC priced at $56, about 6 cents per milligram. - Raw 1:20 THC:CBD Focus tincture has 1,000 mg priced at $87, about 9 cents per milligram. - Select 1:1 Peppermint oil has 1,000 mg priced at $68, about 7 cents per milligram. - Care by Design 8:1 CBD-rich sublingual drops has about 240 mg priced at $40, about 16 cents per milligram. - Humboldt Apothecary Relax CBD 3:1 tincture has 250 mg priced at $65, about 26 cents per milligram. - Releaf 1:1 CBD:THCa tincture has 900 mg priced at $99.62, about 11 cents per milligram.

Marijuana vs. Hemp-Derived Cannabis Oil

Cannabis oil products can be derived from either marijuana or hemp plants. Both belong to the same Cannabis sativaplant species. Marijuana plants are primarily bred for a THC-rich resin, while hemp plants produce high-CBD resin with only trace amounts of THC. Hemp-derived oil tends to be more affordable than marijuana-derived oil. When shopping for cannabis oil, consumers may run across terms such as full-spectrum, broad-spectrum, or distillate. Each comes with varying price points depending on many factors, including its source. Full-spectrum products contain the original chemical profile of a strain, including THC, CBD, and terpenes. Broad-spectrum contains everything in the plant but the THC, for a non-intoxicating experience. Distillates only contain one cannabinoid, either CBDA or THCA. The compounds in full-spectrum and broad-spectrum cannabis oil not only add to the aroma, but also the effects and the price. Research into cannabinoids indicate that the interaction between different cannabinoids and terpenes produces an “entourage effect.” This synergistic effect of the plant’s compounds is thought to enhance the therapeutic benefits of a cannabis product. For this reason, many medical consumers look for full- or broad-spectrum cannabis oil. However, someone who doesn’t want the aroma of intoxication of cannabis, may stick with a CBD isolate. Hemp-derived CBD oil is more widely available than cannabis-derived tinctures. Ever since the 2018 Farm Bill passed, hemp-derived CBD is legal all over the country. If you’re hoping to buy cannabis-derived tinctures, you must live in a state that allows medical cannabis (at the very least). In these states, cannabis-derived tinctures tend to be pricier because hemp isn’t as expensive to produce.

Factors Affecting Cannabis Oil Costs

A bottle of cannabis oil can vary in price based on an assortment of factors from production to marketing costs. For example, cannabis oil made from organically grown hemp from Colorado will have a higher price than oil made from a plant grown in a state with a newer market. Besides quality, potency also affects the price of a product. Cannabis oil with 1,000 mg of cannabinoids will be more expensive than oil with fewer cannabinoids per milliliter. The cannabis industry has unique costs and challenges that can drive up the price of cannabis oil. For example, lab testing requirements can force companies to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars testing their oil for contaminants. Lab testing can range from $100 to $400 per sample tested. In many cases, cannabis must be tested various times throughout the supply-chain process. Furthermore, the cannabis industry can’t write off business expenses because according to the US federal government, the marijuana plant is a Schedule I drug with no medicinal value. Dispensaries and producers may hike up their prices to offset some of these overhead costs. Industry experts believe that full legalization will help build a stronger regulatory framework for the industry to benefit both companies and consumers.

Is Cannabis Oil Lab Tested?

Certified laboratories can provide a complete analysis of licensed cannabis product samples. Third-party labs can test for potency including its cannabinoid and terpene profile. Labs also test for pesticides, microbial contamination, residual solvents, and other harmful chemicals that can remain after the extraction process. Essentially, lab testing ensures the product you are buying has the potency listed on the label. More importantly, lab testing ensures the product you are consuming has no harmful contaminants that can offset its therapeutic effects. Lab testing can significantly increase the price of cannabis oil products. However, it’s up to you to make sure your product is actually lab tested. Most companies who lab test provide a certificate of analysis (COA) on its website. Simply type in the batch number found on the packaging into their lab results page. Buying from a licensed cannabis retailer is one of the only ways to ensure you are getting a product tested by a third-party lab. While buying hemp-derived CBD oil online without lab testing may be cheaper, we recommend you spring the extra few bucks for peace of mind and security.

How to Find Reliable and Cost-Effective Cannabis Oil

Finding the right cannabis oil at the right price point can seem like an impossible task. Luckily, there are a few ways you make sure you get the most for your dollar based on your desired results. It can take a few hours, days, or weeks of research to find the right cannabis oil. While price matters, some affordable cannabis oils can be just as effective as the most expensive cannabis oils. Here are a few ways to save money on cannabis oil. - Buy cannabis oil in bulk. Larger quantities mean more upfront costs, but the product often comes with considerable savings of up to 40 percent per milligram. Manufacturers pass their savings on packaging onto you. Buying in bulk can also earn you free shipping with most hemp-derived oil companies. - Follow your favorite cannabis oil companies or retailers on their social media channels to scope out special discounts, promotions, and giveaways. - Sign up for low-income, veteran, or other financial assistance programs if you qualify. Not every company offers this perk, but the ones that do may give you a discount of more than half off if you can send qualifying proof or apply for a spot in their program. - Buy based on price-per-milligram. In order to calculate the price per milligram of a cannabis oil bottle, divide the total price of the product by the milligrams of cannabinoids in the product. - When searching for bargains, always make sure you buy cannabis oil that has a certificate of analysis (COA) from an accredited third-party laboratory ensuring you have a safe and pure products.

Will CBD Prices Ever Come Down?

Industry insiders believe the price of cannabis oil will eventually go down, but not anytime soon. The industry’s strict regulations place an enormous burden on cannabis companies in terms of testing, taxes, and other rules on the plant’s production. A variety of factors serve to limit the amount of cannabis production possible. Whether it’s commercial cannabis bans in your town or excessive licensing costs, it takes a lot of money to start up a cannabis company. Cannabis oil may never be the most affordable natural medicine available, at least compared to pharmaceutical or herbal supplement products. However, prices are expected to go down as lawmakers become more supportive of the industry. Once they remove the harsh limits imposed on weed companies, maybe then will the prices become accessible for those who truly need it. As you can see, the price of cannabis oil varies widely based on the source, quality, potency, location, size, and other manufacturing and marketing costs associated with the product. The novelty of the industry and a lack of regulation have contributed to cannabis oil’s high prices, but consumers are hopeful that one-day cannabis oil can reach an accessible price point for everyone that needs it.

Therapy was hard today and yesterday.

Cw. Trauma, therapy, mentions self harm.

I swore at him. Directly. For the first time.

I can't even tell you what happened. He said something. Possibly a word. And all I remember is hearing myself say "fuck you".

I. Froze. I felt so stiff and stuck. I felt hot and cold. Sweaty. I felt heavy and light at the same time. I felt dizzy and nauseous. I almost threw up in the parking lot. I couldn't even get into my car at first. I had to sit on the pavement with my hot car at my back to ground myself.

I kept hearing a child's voice. "We were not supposed to say that. That was not very nice."

It felt like it took me an hour to leave the office.

He told me this morning it was at the end of the last five minutes. He said "you said fuck you then left" (he meant that I left as is dissociated)

Wtf.

We were discussing my proclivity for ignoring feelings and even pain today. I ignored a blood clot in my leg for 10 days before telling my doctor. That's been on my brain. I have ignored mostly my anger. Today I noticed N tried to lead me to discussing my irritations towards my friend recently.

I just don't want to go there.

He has reassured me SO MANY TIMES that we can say what ever we want there. Maybe we just don't believe it. I don't trust that that's the case. That there aren't consequences or negative effects if I do.

I remember saying how I don't know how to be coconscious. I don't know if I can let them express it. The last time we got close to anything I probably should have been hospitalized. I started self harming for the first time. I always imagined it as a kid but I couldn't act on it because of factors I won't discuss today.

I don't trust it won't go bad. What if I can't zip it back up in 50 minutes? When they take over it gets so hard. I barely get my shit together to function for work. Last time it was a six month drinking and drugging bender. I was not being safe or smart. I racked up credit card debt I'm still dealing with 8 years later.

I asked N. "Is that the goal then to get me to finally step aside and to stop ignoring them because I'm scared of the cost. It has almost cost me my marriage and my job".

We kind of left it there....I'm not sure what to do or what's going on. I don't know how to make progress when I'm scared and not willing to let others front.

I feel like just a waste of time.

Luisa’s strength vs enviroment

Until we get more clarification I’m just gonna roll with this.

Okay, so from the movie alone we can gather that Luisa, because of her super-strength, can crush rocks without seemingly any negative effect on herself.

That covers the strength part. Because, Luisa is not indestructible. I’m thinking that depending on the degree of impact, Luisa can be harmed. (or worse). Below are things/situations I’ve thought about where Luisa’s strength might provide her with enough stamina to suffer live longer than a regular person, but not per se survive.

Now then!

The elements

Luisa can swim, but she can drown as well. It just takes longer because her body is refusing to give up.

Luisa has enough strength to walk through fire and come out alive, but it’s gonna suck. Burnt hair & skin, melted clothes, nothing good.

Luisa is not immune to being electrocuted. It just takes SO MUCH MORE voltage for her to be harmful.

A rockslide would not crush Luisa immediately, though it would badly bruise her. It’s gonna suck.

Luisa Madrigal needs air to survive and when deprived of air, will suffocate, but will take longer than regular humans.

Weapons

‘Haha weapons would bounce off her’ No. Blades, bullets and arrows will pierce her skin just the same but it’s not the same effect. She’ll be annoyed (because shooting at people is not cool) but can soldier on.

Depending on where the place of impact is. Any chances of hitting her arteries and she’ll bleed out just the same as her dear ol’ pa. (And if no first aid is done like applying pressure to the wound)

Food/Drinks/medicine/drugs

Food that’s gone bad has a possibility of making Luisa sick. Fortunately she’s smart enough to not eat moldy food.

Alcohol doesn’t really work on Luisa. She could drink half the Encanto under the table, and not appearing very drunk, but she’ll have a massive hangover in the morning.

Medicine/drugs are absorbed quickly by her body, along with the (side) effects. Yes, she can use painkillers but also be drugged. :(

Her own body

Her body is ready to protect Luisa from anything to keep itself strong and healthy.

She doesn’t get sick a lot yet pregnancy might prove to be tricky since now it’s got to balance the energy, bloodflow and all.

Luisa has little trouble getting pregnant and carrying a baby full term. It’s the childbirth where it might get difficult.

The actual labor might be peanuts but Luisa has a high chance to lose a lot of blood.

The Role of Lifestyle in Brain Health

While brain health supplements can provide significant benefits, they are most effective when combined with a healthy lifestyle. Brain function is influenced by various factors, including diet, exercise, sleep, and stress management. Here’s how you can optimize your brain health alongside supplementation:

1. Diet and Nutrition

A well-balanced diet rich in antioxidants, healthy fats, and essential nutrients plays a crucial role in brain health. Incorporating brain-boosting foods, such as leafy greens, berries, nuts, seeds, and fatty fish (like salmon), can complement the effects of brain health supplements. These foods provide essential nutrients like Omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants that protect and nourish the brain.

2. Physical Activity

Exercise isn’t just good for your body—it’s essential for your brain, too. Regular physical activity increases blood flow to the brain, stimulates the release of neurotrophic factors that promote brain cell growth, and can improve mood and mental clarity. Aerobic exercise, such as walking, cycling, or swimming, has been shown to enhance memory and cognitive function over time.

3. Quality Sleep

Sleep is critical for brain health. During sleep, the brain consolidates memories, clears toxins, and repairs damaged neurons. Lack of sleep can lead to cognitive decline, impaired concentration, and memory issues. To maximize the benefits of brain health supplements, prioritize 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night.

4. Stress Management

Chronic stress can have a negative impact on brain health, impairing memory, concentration, and even leading to long-term neurological damage. Practices like mindfulness, meditation, yoga, or even simple deep-breathing exercises can help manage stress. Supplementing with adaptogens like Rhodiola Rosea or Ashwagandha can further support stress resilience and enhance brain function.

The Future of Brain Health Supplements

As science continues to evolve, so does our understanding of the brain and the compounds that support its function. Emerging research on the microbiome, gut-brain connection, and genetic predispositions to cognitive decline may lead to new and more personalized brain health supplements. Additionally, advancements in nootropics (substances that enhance cognitive performance) may unlock even more potent options for enhancing brain health.

Nootropics: The New Frontier in Brain Supplements

Nootropics, also known as smart drugs or cognitive enhancers, are gaining popularity as a category of brain health supplements. These substances are believed to enhance cognitive functions like memory, creativity, and motivation. Some common nootropics include:

Rhodiola Rosea: Known for its ability to reduce fatigue and improve mental performance under stress.

Panax Ginseng: A traditional herb that is thought to enhance cognitive function and energy levels.

Creatine: While commonly associated with physical performance, creatine also has cognitive-enhancing effects, especially in tasks requiring short-term memory and mental clarity.

Modafinil: A prescription drug used to treat sleep disorders, but often used off-label as a cognitive enhancer, improving alertness and executive function.

While nootropics hold promise for cognitive enhancement, more research is needed to understand their long-term effects and safety profile.

Brain Health Supplements for Specific Needs

Different people have different cognitive health needs, and brain health supplements can be tailored to meet those needs. For instance:

For Students and Professionals: Supplements that improve focus and memory, such as Bacopa Monnieri, Ginkgo Biloba, and Rhodiola Rosea, can be beneficial during periods of intense mental work or study.

For Seniors: Supplements like Omega-3s, Phosphatidylserine, and Lion’s Mane Mushroom may help protect against cognitive decline and support memory retention in older adults.

For Mental Clarity and Mood: Ingredients like L-Theanine, Curcumin, and Rhodiola Rosea can help alleviate stress, anxiety, and promote better mood and emotional well-being.

Potential Risks and Considerations

While brain health supplements are generally safe for most people, there are some important considerations:

Quality Control: Not all supplements are created equal. Some may contain low-quality ingredients, fillers, or contaminants. Look for supplements that are third-party tested for quality and purity.

Interactions with Medications: Certain supplements, particularly herbs like Ginkgo Biloba or Rhodiola Rosea, may interact with prescription medications. If you’re on medication for blood pressure, diabetes, or anxiety, consult your healthcare provider before starting any supplement.

Overuse and Tolerance: Just like any supplement, brain health supplements can have side effects if taken in excess. It’s important to follow recommended dosages and cycle supplements to prevent tolerance buildup or potential harm.

Conclusion: Maximizing Brain Health

In today’s world, maintaining cognitive function is more important than ever. Brain health supplements offer a natural, research-backed way to enhance mental performance, protect against age-related cognitive decline, and support overall brain function. However, they are most effective when integrated into a holistic approach that includes proper nutrition, physical activity, mental stimulation, stress management, and adequate sleep.

By choosing quality supplements, living a brain-healthy lifestyle, and consulting with a healthcare professional, you can optimize your cognitive health for years to come, keeping your mind sharp, focused, and resilient.

Final Thoughts on Brain Health Supplements

The market for brain health supplements is growing, but it’s essential to approach it with a critical eye. Not all supplements are effective or well-researched, so always look for evidence-backed ingredients. Regular use of high-quality supplements, along with lifestyle changes, can lead to improved brain function, memory, and mental well-being. As you age, keeping your brain healthy should be just as important as caring for the rest of your body—brain health supplements can be a valuable part of that journey.

Stay Sharp: Best Supplements for Brain Function and Longevity

Supporting and maintaining brain health is essential, especially as we age. With the right supplements, we can promote cognitive function, improve memory, and support mental clarity. Understanding the best supplements for brain health can help individuals looking to enhance their cognitive performance and preserve their mental acuity over time. In this guide, we’ll explore the top supplements shown to improve brain function and longevity, from omega-3 fatty acids to powerful antioxidants.

Why Focus on Brain Health and Longevity?

The brain is our command center, handling everything from decision-making to memory storage. As we age, it’s common to experience some decline in brain function, but the good news is that certain nutrients can help maintain and even improve cognitive performance. Brain health supplements can support memory, reduce mental fatigue, and help protect brain cells from the effects of aging, enabling people to stay sharp well into their later years.

Key Nutrients for Brain Health and Longevity

Let’s look at some of the top nutrients that have shown promising results in supporting brain function and promoting cognitive longevity.

1. Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Omega-3 fatty acids, particularly DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), are essential for brain health. DHA is a primary component of brain cell membranes and is crucial for proper brain function. Omega-3s have been linked to improvements in memory, mood, and mental clarity. They’re also thought to reduce the risk of cognitive decline and may even improve brain function in people experiencing mild cognitive impairment. Fish oil is a common source, but plant-based omega-3 supplements are also available.

2. Phosphatidylserine

Phosphatidylserine is a phospholipid that plays a vital role in cell structure and function. This compound helps maintain fluidity in brain cell membranes, supporting memory and cognitive function. Studies suggest that phosphatidylserine supplementation can improve mental performance, especially under stress, and has been shown to reduce age-related cognitive decline. It’s often used by individuals seeking sharper memory and mental clarity.

3. Ginkgo Biloba

Ginkgo biloba, one of the oldest living tree species, has been used for centuries for its cognitive benefits. Ginkgo extract is thought to increase blood flow to the brain, which can enhance mental performance and focus. It’s particularly popular for supporting memory and mental sharpness in older adults. Additionally, its antioxidant properties help protect brain cells from damage caused by free radicals, which contributes to overall brain longevity.

Adaptogens: Stress-Resilient Brain Health

Adaptogens are herbs that help the body adapt to stress, and some adaptogens are particularly beneficial for brain health.

From Focus to Fitness: Discovering Adderall Alternatives

The captivating world of cognitive enhancement, typically known as “smart drugs,” has seen an upsurge in recent years, with people utilizing them to maximize mental acuity, concentration, and productivity. A conventional choice often prescribed by physicians is Adderall, a psychostimulant amphetamine that escalates the activity of certain chemicals in the brain, enhancing focus and attention span. However, a shift towards finding a safer, non-prescription alternative to Adderall is transpiring as concerns about potential side effects and dependency increase.

Enter Biocitroid and Clarigenz: these are two of the alternatives leading the shift in cognitive enhancement. These Adderall alternatives come packed with benefits that encompass both health and cognitive enhancement realms.

Biocitroid, a herbal supplement, is esteemed for its efficacy in enhancing brain function. It employs natural ingredients to stimulate neural functioning and enhance mental clarity and focus. The BioCitrate line of supplements is specifically designed for optimum bioavailability, hence being easily absorbed by the body. Unlike Adderall, Biocitroid uses herbs and nutrients instead of synthetic chemicals, diminishing the chances of developing dependency or experiencing severe side effects.

Both Biocitroid and Clarigenz, each in their own unique way, seem to hold a promising future as alternatives to Adderall, thanks to their natural compositions that lessen the negative impacts associated with prescription drugs. Indeed, the comparison of Clarigenz vs Adderall illustrates the rising inclination towards naturally formulated cognitive enhancers, moving away from chemically synthesized drugs.

It is crucial to understand that seeking professional advice is recommended before starting any new regimen. Furthermore, cognitive enhancements should not replace a healthy lifestyle but rather complement it. Regular exercise, a nutritional diet, ample hydration, and a good sleep routine work synergistically to sustain optimal cognitive function.

As awareness regarding the potential hazards linked to synthetic cognitive enhancers like Adderall increases, the journey of exploring natural alternatives becomes more critical. Evidently, alternatives like Biocitroid and Clarigenz offer an encouraging pathway towards cognitive enhancement without any profound complications, steering from focus to fitness whilst keeping health at the forefront.
