Looks like any other drug which has positive and negative effects. Which in my opinion should be over the counter.
What stood out for me was positive effects are some of the most pressing issues we have today for kids.
such as
1. "promote discharge neurotransmitters such as dopamine, serotonin, and acetylcholine which are involved in cognitive functions"
2. Stimulating the central nervous system, altering brain waves and increasing the levels of some neurotransmitters also play a role in the antidepressant properties. Some medics regularly prescribe nicotine as an antidepressant.
3. "reduce estrogen levels"
4. Treat Schizophrenia
5. Manage Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
6. Increase Brain Waves
