Blue Cannatine

One of my favorite tools for cognitive enhancement, especially after long plan rides, is Blue Cannatine. The delivery mechanism is unique (buccle troche). It is especially effective for me on improving short-term memory, focus, and verbal fluency. 

It's the closest thing that I found to NZT and I think you guys should try it out. Get yours at troscriptions.com.
