In a wandering million-dollar mansion at fashionable Inman Park neighbourhood in Atlanta, musicians, businesspeople, lawyers and artists mingle, talk and drink that ever well-liked feel-good drug popularly known as alcohol. In a nearby room, the smell of marijuana drifts on, in which a group of old-enough professionals are the ones passing it around while conversing. In spite of the uncertainties of their concerned parents during their hippie glory days, most of these men have ended up flourishing in their own professional fields. These folks say that they use pot to de-stress, unwind and be extra sociable to others.
Later on, another group of friends headed to a nearby tavern. There, four middle-aged professionals – a writer, a physician, a computer executive, and a neurology technician -- are having burgers and beers, discussing about their travels and trips abroad. Then the conversation suddenly turns to drugs, which are used routinely on trips to ease the terrible jet-lag, which most people experience. The drug helps override exhaustion from broken sleep and disrupted circadian rhythms. Their conversation turns to the reason why people take drugs and what benefits they are getting from it. They say that contrary to the usual belief that students or youngsters are using drugs merely for parties and escapades, a recent study show that students are really using drugs to have more energy and intensified strength to accomplish their school assignments.
Nonetheless, if drugs are just used in moderation for the right reason, then there is really nothing to worry about. They actually provide the right state of mind and the correct answer to different life situations. They are called smart drugs, which are essentially used to fight fatigue and continuously be alert.
