One in five Nature readers -- mostly scientists -- say they up their mental performance with drugs such as Ritalin, Provigil, and Inderal. [...] when asked how they felt about professional thinkers using drugs to enhance their cognitive performance, nearly 80% said it should be allowed. While this report reaches a different part of science, the usage of these drugs can be utilized by software developers alike. What is your opinion on this, somewhat new, development?

Just to point out, Methylphenidate is a Central Nervous System stimulant, not a hallucinogen.
(Just because a small segment of people have hallucinations as a side effect doesn't make it a hallucinogen, as that's not its primary action. I got hallucinations when I shot-gunned 12 redbulls one night - going to peg that as a hallucinogen?
