Drugs in the Cockpit

When I first read it I thought it might be an April Fools joke.

Look up Cortex Pharmaceuticals: http://www.cortexpharm.com/main.html

Personally, I want to be able to learn things like in "The Matrix."

At what cost? If the USAF's use of drugs results in frendly-fire
accidents, is it a good idea?

Has it resulted in friendly-fire accidents? Yes, there have been
friendly-fire accidents. Yes, some of those pilots have been on 'go' pills.
But I have never seen an incident where it was established that the use of
'go' pills was the primary cause or even a significant factor in the
accident. It can even be argued the heightened alertness of the pilots
actually prevents these accidents from happening more often.
