Try something herbal (no, not THAT herb-al) first. Ginko-biloba, or however it's spelled. Do LOTS of research on any mood-altering drug before you take any. Asking here on the boards is one way to get feedback from others who have done the same thing, but don't rely solely on it to make any decisions.

On a semi-related note, FIDE, the international chess federation was applying for entry into the IOC (International Olympic Committee), but dropped out due to drug testing policies. The argument from FIDE is that there isn't a drug that will artificially enhance a chess-players' skill. No equivalent to steroids. It's a little more complicated than that, but that's the gist of it.

If drugs won't signifigantly help a chess player, then I think they are relatively unlikely to help a poker player.

Well if a chess player has to play his A game for an hour, that is pretty easy to do.

If a poker player has to play his A game for an hour, thats pretty easy to do.

If a poker player is a professional, and the amount of money he makes pretty much relies on the amount of hours he puts in - A drug that lets him easily put in more hours would result in a LOT of money and a faster learning experience (due to more hands/situations seen).
