What If: Smart Drugs Become as Common as Coffee?

September 20, 2018 03:00

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.

This session is designed in collaboration with BBC Click.
