John Hari - My Experiment With Smart Drugs (2008)

How does everyone here feel about these 'Smart Drugs'? They seem quire tempting to me, but are there candidates that have been in use long and considered safe?

It surprised me that he didn't consider taking provigil one or two days a week.

It also should have surprised me (but didn't-- it just occurred to me) that he didn't consider testing the drugs' effects on his creativity.
