Weak Signal's description
New drugs are continuously introduced. The drug consumption of legal and illegal drugs to improve one´s performance rises (neuro-enhancement). The consumption has already risen immensely: legal forms of amphetamine are given to hyper-active children as medication; illegal forms as speed and other drugs to improve one´s performance and concentration. These are taken by fighter pilots as well as by managers. athletes, scientists and students.
