An Idea... Using Drugs As A Means To Measure IQ

[pankreeas]

So as we all know many "special" people past / present, whether mad dictator, or mad professor, have proven amazing results from positive drug use. I won't get into documented events or anything, but then there's people who do the same drug and end up onthe streets.. I sometimes wonder if anyone sees drugs here to merely help the strong survive and the weak perish... In the sense of measuring Iq, maybe testing under a series of drugs and see the performance/decrease.. altho theres probably already lots of this undocumented. Even just a study to see what the subject exhibits, feels, takes from the drug. ie./ sits in the corner picks at nails.. or writes a #1 best selling novel in 45 minutes... Lab rats sure can't do that.

An addict only looks and acts like an addict when they can't afford their habit anymore. That's SWIMS opinion anyway. (as a general perception)

Ok, valid point, but from that then you can blow open the whole stigma that surrounds addiction, by saying these debateable genius addicts, were somehow effected in a way that allowed them to get such an ego that they felt they could accomplish anything.. And I for 1 am a believer in that the human body and brain, when working in perfect ebenflow can find a way to achieve everything. Turn on the taps to the cosmos of infinite information and wisdom, And drink up... most people drink but just can't hold their alcoh...... err information , let alone recall it after the fact.
