Not only the kids are users.

So finals are almost done.

Cramming and reading, note taking and testing, preparing and work-a-holics.

All the fine things that are associated with these activities are always assumed to show the iniative and potential that people have towards getting their work done and exercising their brain power to achieve something.

Yet, there has always been the fact that there are those substances that are used aid and increase the physiological limits that occur.

From anabolic steroids to build muscle and increase physical strength, even cases of women during past Olympics getting pregnant and then aborting the baby prior to the main event to utilize the extra growth and energy that is connected with raising the fetus. Students around the world have been shown and admitted to using stimulants to help them stay up and focus on their work. Such drugs as Provigil, Ritalin, Adderal, and even Meth.

Recently though there was a insightful prank by the World Anti-Brain Doping Authority (WABDA) releasing a statement that scientists would soon be the target of a crackdown on performance-enhancing drugs.

Scientists and professors must have been cringing in their desks, wondering where to hide their stash and how to clean out their piss quickly. I'd suggest hiding it in the piles of notes lying around and drinking more apple and blueberry juice daily.

Best thing about this though is that it made me wonder about why this would cause such a stir amongst the professionals. If it's acceptable for one to down RedBull and coffee until the twitching and chatter can be heard miles away, what's wrong with minizing the cost and effects by popping a pill or two a day when the extra juice is needed?

Sign me up for the time when I can implant a neurotransmitter dispensing device rooted in my cerebellum and can have the ultimate controled boosterjuice.
