【Light Review】

Guizhou Zunyi Police recently discovered that some people sold unknown pharmaceuticals through express delivery, and the police seized it for inspection and found that it contains a vinegar methyl ester ingredients. The online seller claims that this is a "clever medicine" that can focus on candidates' energy and improve grades, but it is actually a type of psychiatric drugs in the state's tube. Cycidicine is extremely addictive and may also inhibit growth and development. Most buyers are parents of students or postgraduate students.

In many fairy tales, there will be a "smart medicine" plot setting. But once the "smart medicine" enters the reality, its interpretation is destined to be absurd. From the perspective of media reports, every time the college entrance examination and entrance examination seasons, this kind of psychotic drugs that are actually drugs are packaged by merchants as "smart medicines" that allow candidates to improve their results and usher in the peak sales season.

As a type of psychiatric drug, clinical applications of vinegar have strict restrictions. Criminal law stipulates that a type of psychiatric drug is a type of drug. As for improving IQ and making people smart, it is purely a gimmick produced by merchants. For a long time, taking such drugs in large doses will produce physical dependence and mental dependence, which makes people excessively excited, irritable, and even addiction and depression. A large number of abuse may cause death. It is no exaggeration to say that although it is advertised as "smart medicine", it is actually the "IQ tax" of some parents and students.

From the perspective of drug governance, the popularity of "smart medicine" is a manifestation of the continuous enhancement of new drugs. But considering its main consumers is parents and candidates in the examination season, the group speculation psychology refracted behind this is equally intriguing.

Many people may think that the group of "smart medicines" is mainly mislead and bewildered by merchants. However, the reality is that many buyers do not know the huge side effects of "smart medicine", but in order to achieve theoretical "improvement" effect, they finally chose to bet.

Due to the popularity for many years, there have been a lot of information about "smart medicine" on the Internet -police reminded and expert popular science, as long as they are willing to find it easily. However, even if some buyers know the truth of "smart medicine", they still choose to try, which not only reflects the real complexity of new drugs, but also provides a micro -cut surface for us to recognize the speculative psychology in society.

Selective exams, in the final analysis, a person's long -term effort and investment in learning, this has reached a consensus on the social level. However, this does not prevent people obsessed with shortcuts. Many phenomena around the college entrance examination and postgraduate entrance examination can help us understand this. For example, every important exam, "betting heat" will appear, and many schools and teachers will even use the successful "skeptical questions" as a kind of ability and achievements. In addition, the names of some popular teaching aid books are also keen on this way. For example, "Mathematics Speed ​​100 points" and "Three Strokes Teach You to Learn Mathematics", etc., are not concealed to promote learning shortcuts. In such an educational atmosphere full of speculative psychology, the hot selling of "smart medicine" may not be so surprised.

The generation of speculative psychology must have complicated causes. In the field of education, it may be the result of universal educational anxiety. When everyone's choice of tools for the college entrance examination assault points, from the suspicious "brain artifacts" such as "Shen Shen Nong Bin Brain" and "Life No. 1" to today's drug risks and at the same time with huge side effects " Smart medicine. Our educational anxiety and social speculation psychology that are born of this may not be weakened over time, but have produced various variants. This is really worth pondering.
