there is the odd prof that will want to hear your real opinion or the odd one that grades easy and it won't be necessary. If you have one of these profs cherish them since they are actually enabling you to learn.
Also I may add that picking your teacher's opinion often enables you to use largely course material to prove your thesis. Often you've already read it so it's a huge time-saver. In other words not only will you get better marks but it will take you less time to get them. I've also noticed that profs usually reference authors that will prove their opinion. With a little time on bittorrent and use of the search function for keywords one could throw quotes of their favorite authors (or sources) at them for what would undoubtedly be a synergetic effect combined with the other components of it.
The problem is that I did this once and combined with a total lack of good nutrition (diet mostly of generic KD) it drove me out of my mind. I completely lost perspective of who I was and what I believed or if I was right or wrong at all when I had opinions. I was rendered constantly into a more mailable state as the strategy, the insanity and inevitably the drugs played off each other to break me down. I eventually recovered, but I was never the same. On it's own the strategy could work but you must make sure you are keeping mentally and physically healthy while doing it because it will test your mental state. Though I didn't know what I was doing at the time, I'm not sure I ever vocalized it more than once vaguely in a conversation with a friend on essay writing. I think I've broken it down pretty well so that someone could do it and be aware it's just a strategy and it's not themselves.

Those aren't real smart drugs. True smart drugs have no toxicity at all and help you. Take piracetam for example. Google it, it makes you smarter and is good for your brain including long term use. There are others in that class too. Down with amphetamines, up with smart drugs.

Stonehenge is "piracetam" non-prescription or anything? I followed a link from piracetam.com that took me to an online store that was selling it. I am immediately suspicious of buying meds of the internet and would sooner try to bribe a dr for a prescription if I thought there were a significant chance of getting a bad product.
Also how did you hear about it out of curiosity?
Edit: Hey red devil you wana know what the worst part was? The things I would predict happening in classes would often prove to be reality while the Prof's predictions would prove bunk. For example I called the "Orange Revolution" something more than it appeared, turned out it was a resource conflict over Russia's NG pipelines into Europe and I also predicted US posturing against Iran before it happened. What'd the prof predict on the other hand? He said Darfur would become a major international issue and claimed the US wouldn't posture against Iran. I'm going to save a moldy grain jar and smash it through his window if I ever see him again.

Scav, piracetam has been around since the 60's. It originally was for people with brain injuries or strokes. In testing it, they found it boosted the brainpower of normal subjects. It finally was taken off prescription status in usa. You need to take it with a source of choline or it may just make you sleepy. Sources of choline include lecithin, dmae, eggs and many other things. I've been using it for years and it's great stuff. It makes you get off on other drugs easier. It helps memory and makes you more creative.

It seems to increase the effects of all other drugs both stims and despressants. If you start using piracetam, you might want to cut back on the adderall.

It will increase the function and excitability of your synapses while you are on it and also seems to increase communication between halves of the brain. However, if you take it and just sit around masturbating it won't make you smarter.
