This blog provides a forum for students, instructors and others to share information and ideas about the Spring Thesis Program at Parsons the New School for Design in New York City.
Hi Ga Ram, I think you have to separate out the drugs that people take for focus and energy to be quite different from the opiates and other drugs that people take to get high. It seems to me that there are cognitive enhancements that should be allowable if a person understands the risk/benefits. What is your position on this topic? Is it your intention to develop a product that cuts off access to Adderall and other prescription drugs? Maybe some super-secure bottle that had a cap that locks and only the person who has the perscription can open it? Or something else that you are not ready to reveal? The more I think about it, the more I think you may be on to something big here. If you had a product that could work to reduce the amount of students taking other people's drugs, there would be a substantial incentive for government or insurance companies to pay for them.

So, what is your next step?
