SMART DRUGS DOCUMENTARY PROMO: SUBJECT: The effects were startling. I could actually feel the improvement in my intellectual capacity, and almost overnight I became a voracious reader. But the effects on my social life were disastrous. My old friends, they suddenly seemed so ... stupid. DOYLE SPKSPRSN: No, I have no problem with it at all, these people are aware of what they're getting into. You're putting a false slant on this. Of course if some irresponsible people in the media go on about "human guinea pigs" there's going to be panic. If I tried to conduct these experiments on a few rabbits the animal rights people would fire bomb us in a second. GOVT SPKSPRSN: Doyle Labs are a respected Newfoundland firm. The pharmaceutical research division brought 300 new jobs to the province and that's not counting the people who are up there making good money as subjects in experiments. The Government is behind this project one hundred percent. SUBJECT: I was aware of the risks but at the outset I was ... well too stupid to understand them. I assumed they would wear off eventually. DOYLE SPKSPRSN: Of course the employment situation here was a consideration, of course. But there were other factors, Newfoundland being an island makes containment a lot easier if something should go wrong. SUBJECT: I was a happier man previously. Without a doubt, I would prefer to be stupid again. For sure. PAUL: "Buying Brains", that's a special next week on The Paul Moth Show.
