Cautionary aspect: detecting mild and/or very long term deleterious effects of nootropics/drugs is extremely difficult empirically. Something like e.g. caffeine has been put through the ringer historically both empirically and in terms of secondary anecdotal cultural awareness (if that counts for anything.) But something relatively niche like this can't hope to have the necessary resources allocated to it for sufficient study.
