In the future, will there be drugs specifically for kids?

I find it weird that we don’t give kids coffee to help them focus on math. (But amphetamine is fine?) There is no evidence coffee is bad for kids.

Psychedelics are so similar to kid level playfulness — and sometimes I think it could be helpful to help them see the big picture.

Even cannabis— we know it’s controlled use is fine for kids, based on studies of usage for epilepsy, etc.

Why do we wait till kids try it themselves under suspect circumstances rather than introducing it with intention?

Just provoking some free thought.
