Just an interesting story I read today, on the ongoing story of Provigil [Tampa Tribune], talking more about current presecription habits and recreational uses or lack thereof. Here also is a reporter's first-person account.

It's interesting that they term using provigil to stay awake overnight as a 'recreational use.' They also use the term 'lifestyle drug' when grouping it with propecia, prozac, and viagra... That's probably a better fit.

Anyhow, I know we've talked about it before, but I'm gonna keep up on this issue as it evolves. I'm curious about the progression of cultural acceptance (or lack thereof) of medicine that changes the paradigm of life. Kinda reminds me of cloning. It was all interewsting, until it unexpectedly became a reality, and now there's the polarized (unequally, but nevertheless most people aren't indifferent) public and political attitdes about it.

But I'm not even going to get in to cloning. I just want to be able to steal time now and then.
