The subreddit itself is proof nootropics work

This just came across my mind, but this is the only Subreddit that I've ever came across (besides maybe r/Nootropics) that isn't toxic at all, no arguments, no mean people, no internet intellectuals, and at the same time everyone here is always kind, receptive, clear-headed, and open-minded. Considering this is reddit, that's damn near impossible. So clearly, the people of this subreddit are, to say, "getting high on Nootropic Depot's supply"😊, I mean shoot, the suburb is leaps and bounds more peaceful than even r/Meditation

That's actually a subject I could input on. I'm not versed in scientific jargan yet, but did abuse the hell out of DXM and high school, and would start everyday with about 100 mg to 150 mg for a prolonged period of time (6 months or so), DXM great for overall sense of happiness and well-being but in exchange makes you dumb as hell, and even after I quit 3 years later I still can't feel any emotions, so unless you're very careful with how you're using it, the drawbacks aren't worth it for that particular substance IMO

When I am saying DXM is useful, I am talking 20-30mg doses. Larger ones are always going to have those side effects. Even so, the beneficial effects are likely sigma-1. If we can do more targeted sigma-1 agonism without the NMDA effects, we can get the beneficial mood boosting without the memory/cognitive side effects that DXM can have in high doses.
