Intelligence is a catch all phrase
but taking the example of ritalin: Some studies show that in normal (non ADHD people) it can increase the length of time you can concentrate by about 20% so if you can concetrate now for an hour without a break you could concentrate for an hour and 15 without a break. It also seems to improve the accuracy of memory recall, so if you learn something while on ritalin you're better at remembering it later if you're on ritalin or not.

When you stop taking the pills you'll still remember the things you learnt but you'd lose the advantage you got to learning new things when you were on the pills.

Sounds like anti-weed.

You do come out with a load of mock-profound shit on weed though.
