The movie, Limitless (2011)
    #19065247 - 10/31/13 06:48 PM (10 years, 3 months ago)

Anybody see this? It's about a drug that majorly enhances brain function. Overall I did not like the movie, but I still think the concept is pretty cool and some of the sequences were done quite nicely. It should also be noted that we are starting to develop these types of drugs: nootropics, also known as smart drugs.* Nothing as grandiose as what's in the movie, though.

You know what, that was just said once in the movie and the guy who said it was kind of a seedy individual. It was just his way of describing it as an amazing smart drug, I don't think it was meant to be taken literally (as literal as a movie can be, of course).


I deleted it from the original post.

No, in the movie he gets into stock trading and is enahnced to the point taht he can figure out algorithms and thus become a millionaire in days, utilizing money borrowed from a loan shark. Going by the movie, speed is only one dimension of that.

modafinil, it's like 600 a month for a script, and insurances wouldn't ever cover it. It's slowly becoming more available to to the public

By the way, I think that the closest drugs to the Limitless pill -- of the popular drugs -- would be a combination of hydro- or oxycodone and a very low dose of one of the classic psychedelics.

I always thought the german D-IX pill that was given to soldiers was the closest, a combo of oxycodone, meth, and cocaine

I didn't mean combining both those types of drugs into one drug. I simply meant taking them together. :smile2:

Funny you mention herbs because I found out about this movie from a lecture about herbs. The guy is lecturing about an herbal elixr he created and he compares it to the Limitless pill: http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/18530128 This elixr is about 400 dollars, by the way.

i think it was a metaphor lost in translation. i wouldn't hesitate to make the argument that many people develop only 20% of their potential as I personally believe nearly everyone is born a genius but few cultivate it as they age

but then i'm a quack
