      There are no drugs that do this on purpose, but I’m sure all the other scientists on this site would agree that caffeine has to be considered as such a drug! Certainly I’m a moron without it!! 🙂 And I never would’ve survived those all-nighters before exams either!!

      Agreed David! I don’t know how I cope in the morning before I’ve had a coffee. There aren”t any drugs that are known to improve intelligence – just those that make us more awake and engaged with what we are doing.

      I agree with David and Sarah. Caffeine keeps you alert and awake but not necessarily productive I have found! There are no drugs that can improve your intelligence! We are all very intelligent just not at the same things!
