Experiencing lucidity helps understand what it takes to become lucid. I would not discourage people from using galantamine even if it means to achieve lucidity on their first attempt.

Just to be clear I don't endorse excessive use of any sorts of supplements/medication, moderation is everything, its always important to be balanced.
My only reservation was that I noticed when I used 5-HTP for example, I experienced a spike in lucidity, then a major drop and dry spell. Point is, nothing wrong with the experimentation, I just don't want students to believe that they have to rely on supplements alone to achieve lucidity. Or that the best lucids only come from supplements.

I want these awesome chickens to figure out how to LD on their own dime. Supplements should be just that, a widening of angle, not a replacement for hard earned skill.
