placebo improves cognitive abilities, but it’s not good enough to make your own because it’s too obvious what you’re doing, so why not have a club where we exchange placebos with each other?

rule
- Do not include ingredients that are harmful to the human body
- Do not include any illegal ingredients.
- Decide on a cue for the start of the role play. For example, “Just between you and me…”
- During role-playing, affirm the other person’s story. Even if you do not agree with the story, do not reject the story created by others, because you just do not have to drink yourself.
- Selling them could violate the Pharmaceutical Affairs Law, so they are basically bartered.

This kind of role-playing would be good:.
- Between you and me, I’ve got something a little better.”
- “Oh, what is it?”
- It looks like just another vitamin, right? But it contains strong antioxidants that reduce free radicals in the brain and improve cognitive function.
- “Great. How much do I owe you?”
- How about a special 10,000 credit?”
- How about this instead? How about this instead?” Look at these ominous black grains. When taken on an empty stomach, special alkaloids are absorbed through the stomach wall, cross the brain barrier, and antagonize adenosine receptors, thereby improving cognitive function.

- On the other hand, it has been shown that the drink alone is not effective, so you should attach an instruction manual stating that the drink is very effective, but selling the drink with the instruction manual would violate the Pharmaceutical Affairs Law, so just sell the instruction manual. Selling the drink with that would violate the Pharmaceutical Affairs Law, so just sell the instruction manual.
- I think it would be good if we had a circle where we could make placebos and exchange them with each other, because making placebos by ourselves is not so good because it’s too obvious.
- However, if that club is not staffed with people who are very trustworthy, someone might say, “It’s a drug that helps me concentrate!” and put methamphetamine in the club. It is dangerous.
- It seems to me that the definition of pharmaceuticals is surprisingly broad, and even flour is considered to be a drug when it is intended to affect a person’s function when it “makes them smarter” http://law.e-gov.go.jp/htmldata/S35/S35HO145.html
- But since it’s “not to be manufactured as a business,” it’s legal to make them as a hobby and trade them with your buddies.
