Effects, health concerns, suppliers, prices & rational ordering.

Modafinil is a prescription stimulant drug. I discuss informally, from a cost-benefit-informed perspective, the research up to 2015 on modafinil’s cognitive effects, the risks of side-effects and addiction/tolerance and law enforcement, and give a table of current grey-market suppliers and discuss how to order from them.
