Performance enhancers are popular in today's society, whether for recreational use, athletics, or even in the workplace. Nootropics, also referred to as `smart drugs' are a special type of performance enhancer that have been increasingly used in the workplace [17]. There are many risks associated, with taking nootropics for non-medical purposes, however, including mood changes, safety, as well as other physical risks. Additionally, ethical concerns arise, leaving individuals to question whether the use of these powerful drugs is really worth it. This paper will examine the manner in which nootropics are and may be used in organizations. |
