Are there any drugs I can take to help me study?

Ones that don't cause permanent damage preferably.

Is adderall advisable? Nicotine?

Give me the scoop.

If you're not at high risk of becoming addicted, and have enough self control to use it responsibly, then yes it works wonders.

Nicotine is less harmful than caffeine. It's the predominant delivery system that's harmful.

there is a form of magnesium that sucessfullu crosses the blood brain barrier (Magtein commercially - can get by dr's best brand) . A study found magtein totally ignited the firing of the neruocusters (too lazy to llok up article) like fireworks. No other form of magnesium works. In short its like caffein but "really" fires up your brain.

Best known science that i know of (besides brain zapping)

No. Just perhaps a tiny bit of milk.

No scoop but a tiny dash of sugar.

For high pressure work try sencha and make sure this is in moderation.

Amphetamines will make you energetic, and that's about it. I've tried a few. Adderall is fine. The adderall everyone hypes up doesn't actually exist anymore. It's different now. The adderall of today can be effective, but there are many different distributions of it and some are better than others. Unless you're predisposed, addiction is not really something to worry about. Like I said, it's overhyped.

Nootropics are a bit of a false science. All drugs work by altering a state in your body, deviating it from the norm. The 'norm' for most areas in the body is an ideal balance and moving away from it is deleterious in some way or another, which is why they say all medicine is poison. A drug like mdma is great temporarily but there's an obvious reason your brain isnt in that state normally - it would be terrible for survival.

However your brain IS designed to be as clever and energetic as it can be, there's no downside to being smart and focused. So there can't possibly be a drug that makes a real change here. Most that "work" really just dampen fatigue, like caffeine and modafinil or if someone has a genuine medical problem like narcolepsy or adhd then they can shift this back towards normal.
