And Dad, you seem to have missed the point of the last part of this post: people take drugs all the time in the form of caffeine or alcohol to change the way their brain works.

If I were you I'd stay clear of any so called stimulant. Just do the best you can with the brain power you have - nothing more should be asked of you.
