I'm very sceptical of drugs that interfere with neural function. Our brain is extremely complex, with dozens (or hundreds?) of chemicals interacting in intricate manners. We understand not even a tiny fraction of it, just some bits and pieces, and we think we can "fix" or even improve it by ingesting some chemical compound?

Even the few psycho-active medicines we have, anti-depressants etc., barely work at all. They might have some positive effects in studies, but if you actually know someone who depends on such medication, you'll know that they're far from a cure; many people even refuse to take them because of the terrible side effects. And those are pills we have a few decades of experience with!

I'm not holding my breath for a wonder drug that will miraculously engance our learning ability.
