A 2018 study suggests that up to 14% of the population may be experimenting with off-label use of cognitive enhancing drugs, or nootropics. What if using such drugs – claimed to improve performance at school and work – becomes the new norm?
Join an in-depth discussion that explores the possible, plausible and probable impacts of wide-spread use of nootropics.
