Drug use: caffeine, the amphetamine family (eg. Adderall or Ritalin), modafinil, nicotine (could be phrased to be either binary or weekly or monthly)

Maybe alcohol and marijuana too?

And what about LSD? I would love to know how many folks here tried it.

Yeah, that too (maybe “Psychedelic drugs (e.g. mescaline, psilocybin, LSD)”).

Those are more recreational, I was leaning toward enhancement.

Yeah, but I still think it would be an interesting question.

There should probably be a general question like "how often do you take any of the following nootropics." Tyrosine, melatonin, tryptophan, 5htp, come to mind.
