Nootropics are an interesting legal and academic subject. The question is: will this be fully legal and open or prescribed and scheduled only to those with learning disorders? I can easily see this being banned from use on the SAT, GMAT and academia in general. Similar (and often abused) nootropics include Adderall (amphetamine salts) and Ritalin (methylphenidate) which are DEA/FDA Schedule II, both of which are prescribed for ADHD and severe narcolepsy, as is concentration drug Provigil (modafinil) under Schedule IV.
Either the government (and perhaps academia) will go its regular course and prevent individuals from gaining an unfair edge by scheduling it, or there may be a slim chance of it being OTC. I have a gut feeling it's going to get scheduled.
- GHFigs 17y agoScheduling has vastly more to do with abuse potential than with preventing individuals from "gaining an unfair edge".
- zackattack 17y agoCan someone in the know explain how scheduling works? And whether pharma incentives affect the process?
