WIRED continues to endorse drug abuse

Standing in the supermarket the other day, I glanced over at WIRED, which commanded me to "GET SMARTER!" As it happens, intelligence enhancement is already a passion of mine, so I needed little persuasion. As I flipped through the articles and read of (among other things) the cognition boosting properties of caffeine, amphetamine, methamphetamine, nicotine, aniracetam and modafinil, I found myself thinking "Wow, the boys and girls at DoseNation must be shitting themselves with glee." Picture my dismay when I came here and found not a word about it. I imagine that the information presented will be old-hat for most of us, but it's nice to see our mutual geekdom penetrating further into the mainstream. Here you go; I love you.

The entry on methamphamine reads, in part:

Can increase concentration and creative output. Prolonged use can also make you stupid and crazy.

Also, a recent article on the WIRED blog discloses this shocking information:

PEOPLE ARE USING ILLICIT AMPHETAMINES TO GET THINGS DONE.

Even with a drug like methamphetamine, most heavy users in our research engaged in "functional use."

Plz, try to contain your shock/surprise.
