/^t/There is a bunch of drugs that help people use their brains in a more efficient way. One of the most popular "brain activators" is amphetamine. It is extremely popular among students who have to pass a difficult examination and do not have time (or simply do not want) to learn. Taken before an exam, amphetamine allows the user to learn easily and efficiently even the most hated subjects. Added to that, it causes a temporary sense of euphoria which turns even the dullest and most apathetic student into a vivid and brilliant one, highly increasing his or her chances to pass the exam. Unfortunately, some of the people who resort to taking amphetamine instead of learning get addicted to it very quickly and after some time they cannot function properly without the drug.
