Does anybody have any experience with this drug or nootropics in general? I could only find one real source regarding the positive effects of Ginko, and it is unconvincing. Are there are any drugs, appart from caffeine and adderall, worth taking to enhance intellectual performance?

Take Japanese green tea, containing L-theanine. It is safe (GRAS) and legal. And comfy.

Yes, I'd recommend sencha, most are fine. I would not recommend macha since it is very bitter, though the luminous deep green colour is rather dramatic.

It goes well with something sweet, like omochi.

Different anon, but I'd say take L-Theanine with your coffee anyway (if you don't drink green tea often). It's an absolute potentiator of the caffeine effects, with less jittery anxiety that might come from taking too many cups a day.

Worth noting: Siberian Ginseng (different types of Ginseng elicit more androgenic effects, instead the usual Panax Ginseng can be slightly estrogenic)

Awesome, I'll try it, thanks!

Holy balls that sounds amazing. Hope I can find some.

>>11933370
I don't drink coffee at all. I dislike the taste and the effect. I only drink coffee when I have to stay awake for two nights, on the second night, otherwise coffee really pisses me off somehow. But thanks anyway!
> androgenic effects,
What do you mean by that?
