Wait, I've seen this movie.
They experiment on sharks by giving them brain boosting drugs, and then shit happens as expected.
On the other hand, I've never seen anyone become smarter by doing coke; now I'm stuck wondering if this is worse or better.
- kevindamm 2y agoMaybe the experiment was to test confidence-boosting instead of intelligence.
- pelagicAustral 2y agoI imagine there are very few ways a shark can get more confident. It's an apex predator.
- MaxikCZ 2y agoI dont see how these two things are related.
- cjbgkagh 2y agoCocaine is a d2 reuptake inhibitor like AFAIK pretty much all notropics. But the speed of action and the short duration makes it very addictive. So I could readily believe people are smarter while on cocaine, just that gets shadowed by the focus on feeding the addiction. I take modafinil which is slower and longer acting d2 reuptake inhibitor and am definitely smarter on it, it helps with my ADHD as I had dopamine dysregulation prior to taking modafinil. Because of that prior state I get a much stronger effect from it and require only a lower dose of it (50 to 100mg).
- alan-hn 2y agoD2 is a specific subtype of dopamine receptor not a dopamine transporter. The dopamine transporter is DAT which is inhibited by cocaine along with NET and SERT

- tsoukase 2y agoCocaine equals adrenaline and it's effect is predominant before any other one follows.
