Dude people are gonna do drugs either way. Whether it's a dick move or not. It doesn't matter

They aren't even actually good for cheating on tests. I'd understand if they were getting high.

People are trying to use them like performance enhancing drugs for academia. But of course, they don't work like that for normal people.

I guess, but aren't we using it as 'performance enhancing' to be on the same level as other people? Like glasses. If someone who didn't need glasses wore special glasses that helped them see better, would it be cheating? Maybe, actually. I'm not sure lol
