>When the author of the linked article says, "it'll probably have the taste and texture of sugar", you should know they're either blissfully ignorant or pissing themselves laughing.

The author did go on to say that piracetam tastes like nasty sugar.

Also, your comment is reasonable, so I don't know why you're being downvoted.




In these sort of threads, people who indiscriminately encourage people to take amphetamines tend to get upvoted* , and everybody else is a buzzkill. If people don't want information, though, so be it. (I was a bit heavy-handed on the whole "no free lunch" aspect.)

* Update - happened again.

That said, I find it interesting that, in the course of posting this, I've been upvoted and downvoted five times.

Also, "nasty sugar"? More like "ground-up burnt plastic, with a slap".


I would describe piracetam as having a sharp chemical-ly gag-inducing flavor. I cannot imagine taking it long term without putting it in a capsule.


Citrus juices, like orange juice. They mask it well enough.
