Neuro enhancing drugs

This subject is fascinating to me. We can visualize a world where these drugs exist and competition between people will be dirtied by the drugs. Someone gets an AER and you say" Oh well, its the drugs, look at the size of her head (brain)! Thats not normal.." We will be like olympics athletes and before you can get an article published you would need to get a drug test?? Hows it ever gonna work?? Or are they going to announce the drugs they took and that can be published along with the article...why not? Nothing wrong if they increase your creativity! Problem is so far they only seem to increase concentration rather than creativity. Theres the ADHD drug Ritanil: you can, BTW, buy it without a prescription at:

But so far apparently there is nothing that actually INCREASES creativity!

It doesn't matter though...my colleagues are working on lab experiments that show that a small happiness boost leads to an increase in "productivity". This I believe! So, heres a new advertisement for prozac: "Free yourself to be the best: happy people are successful people" or something like that!
Actually, what would I not give to be in the shoes of one of my super satisfied colleagues (SSC to keep it anonymous).. those that seem infinitely satisfied with themselves, those who interpret everything that happens to them as uniquely challenging and those who know they can overcome any challenge. It would simply be heaven. Thats all I can say....
