Yes, I'm bothered by this term, too. On the other hand, what term should we use, that is easy to understand and broadly (if not to the highest level of detail)

Yes, I'm bothered by this term, too. On the other hand, what term should we use, that is easy to understand and broadly (if not to the highest level of detail) describes a wide range of drugs with widely varying effects? Something like 'intellectual performance enhancer' is longer, sounds more pretentious and isn't much more accurate, either. Then again, if all my problems were as severe as this one, I'd be a happy camper ;)
